My friend, and fellow make-up artist Steve LaPorte created this character for a recent make-up demo. He included a mechanism from a cannibalized Halloween prop for the flame effect, and LED's for the eyes. All self enclosed.
The face is soft foam so he can talk. The pendant/speaker plays mp3's via Bluetooth for the exotica sounds.
The performer is a Universal Studios Tour veteran and has worked up some pretty funny schtick for this character!
I think this guy could be a great emcee / sidekick / mascot at the various Tiki events throughout the year.
What do you think?
I've included a pic with Steve (with his permission, of course) to show scale.
He really is a "Big" Kahuna!
