"Big Kahuna" character make-up

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!

Love it!

Hmmm! I don't see the resemblance! :D

Very nice! I'd love to see him in a photo location at a tiki event, cracking jokes, poking fun at people, etc. or as an emcee.

I really like him....any video to accompany the pictures? Wanna hear some of that shtick.

Is it just me, or --- does he remind anyone else of "The Unknown Comic?"

Ha! I kind of thought that too, Ace!
I guess the lower-budget approach would be to just draw a Tiki on a paper bag and wear that. Mouth wouldn't move, though.
I'll see if I can get a link to some video......
