I do not make these heads myself they are 1/6th sculpts from a company called Dragon Toys these are very detailed collector figures ,each character has it's own unique head sculpt unlike the cheap Action Man figures. Click this link PICTURETRAIL to see some of the many heads I own and have added more detail to. These heads are static and require manipulation using PhotoShop to add blinking and mouth movements, I am slowly getting better at this here is a link for a TUTORIAL I did on blinking using the PhotoShop morph tool.
Here is a still from the test below of a "Dragon" head with real eyes and a blink added in post.
Eyes open.
Blink frame.
Zoom close up end shot.
Original image, the eyes are still good.

I missed that deadline on purpose. *sulk*
Hey, I like your methods you use to close the eyes and make 'em blink. I've thought about doing that with clay, adding the mouths and eyes in post, but I don't have a program that lets you create a junk matte.
Also, I want to move on from clay and try something more permanent, but I can't figure out how to create puppets with a high level of expressiveness. If only there was a material LIKE clay that wasn't oily, didnt' bleed off on your hands, and stayed malleable. Something like midway between wax and plastic.
Ah well, I can dream, can't I...
