The head build is incredibly impressive —looks like there’s a flexible tube being threaded through 1x2 system grills in the lower jaw?
The stomach lasers alone convinced me

Yessir!
it stays in place using the dark green exo-force arm being held by a droid clip (part 48729) that is connected through the mouth port of the toa metru head underneath
its basically witchcraft

The whole build is cool, but the best part to me is easily the mask. I’ve never seen anyone make a brick-built Olisi before, and it works really well. Obviously it’s not as accurate to the artwork as a custom 3d model, but the purism more than makes up for that. My favourite part is either the techniques for the teeth, or the rubber band stitches on the forehead.
The skull belt is another cool detail.
Would you be willing to share a breakdown of the mask (or even the whole build)?

I love it. I’m always endlessly impressed by how the community is able to make such detailed masks out of the smallest lego pieces. It so impressive.

I’d be glad to do a mask breakdown soon enough, just gotta find a few minutes after work to do so

This looks terrific! I really, really like how you took the whole green and blue harlequin all throughout his design, not just the Olisi. His belt is also impressive.

Finally a karzahni head that you don’t have to buy or cut or modify pieces to make

Can the Olisi be removed like a normal mask, or does it also rely on other connections to the head?

it has other connections
the top of the head and eyes hold on to a technic connector placed in the eye socket, the horns and teeth are connected to a 32056 liftarm on both sides of the head

I have a rough idea for replacing the flimsy illegal connections on the eyes:
I have no idea if this could actually be implemented with the rest of the build, though.
Also:
This is a lot more similar to the original design, but it lacks the connection point for the “stitches”.

Those are really nice solutions
But they wouldnt fit the current build due to the bar plate being held in to a pin by its middle understud, not the 2 main ones
