Maybe its the paint job and wires on helmet underneath the lips and jaw that make the shapes of turtle heads we recognize
Previously i dismissed anything that did not look like actual turtle head from movie as being fake or replica but after seeing this.. i dont know, might be some old prototype never used in the film.I also suspect their bandanas were separate latex piece glued on top of the latex head and they put cloth over it cause straithg from the mold it doesnt have any details on bandana seen in other shots from this video.
The bandana was sculpted onto the head then molded as one piece. A cloth material was stretched and glued over the top of the molded bandana giving it that detailed look. The eBay head has a totally different style bandana so it's got to be a fake.
