thats cause i used them(well one of them ) as a base the masks are made from a softer more flow like...my original idea was to use the backpack ones but i don't think they will work right they are a bit to stiff

I knew it looked almost identical, yeah theyre definantly stiff i wore one on halloween and the material just does not want to tie or stay tied.

yea i tried one on my head first , figured if it fit me then it would fit a puppet and i had the same problem...i might remake them again out of a silk like fabric

It'd be cool if you gave them different colored skin like in the 2003 cartoon.
