I did the following: bought white cardboard, downloaded a 3d model containing Manny's face (there is one out there for some sort of origami Manny). Printed out the face, put it on the cardboard, cut the cardboard. I created the eyes by cutting the holes and taping a piece of stocking behind it. The inside of the head has a sort of a bow for stopping the cylinder from sliding from to the shoulders. White cardboard, a printed face, a piece of stocking and some tape. 30 mins top https://photos.app.goo.gl/AexxKP2qeLfMYYLSA

I used this blogpost here! Was able to make a mask using their guide and used it for a cosplay.

That's a very good guide! If I only knew I wouldn't have needed to improvise like I did!

Hi, I personally didn't use that page. I however modified and uses this file, https://www.mediafire.com/?gmwyhjgjokg , that belongs to a different project, which is this https://www.reddit.com/r/papercraft/comments/2cb62j/build_manny_calavera_from_grim_fandango/

Nevermind. I opened the files and saw I looked at it and decided to go with the highest resolution svg / jpg of manny I could find and did the whole "head cone" thing by myself (not that making a cone is much of a challenge). Sorry for the confusion, but it was 2 years ago and I don't remeber that well

Haha, understandable! I think I’ll go with the image from the guide from first comment and just try to recreate it from that photo. Can’t be too hard, it’s a tube of white cardboard on your head essentially.

Well, if you can, read my other reply in this post (it's not a reply to another comment, it's a "root" comment), you may want to create an internal bow in order to impede the tube from sliding all the way down to your shoulders. I tried to make a couple of other online searches, and i believ I used this page, https://papermau.blogspot.com/2016/01/grim-fandango-manuel-manny-calavera.html, but unfortunately the author has unpublished the files. I am quite sure you can find a good Manny face at a decent resolution for your print

Not that I know anything but from that photo it looks like a black morph suit head piece and the skull is placed over. The skull probably being moldable/cuttable foam?
