This is a head I originally designed to use on robots. It can shoot ping pong balls from the mouth and move his light eyes.

I wanted to make a cover for my Ping Pong Balls Cannon, so I started with a 5L water bottle:

Covered it with kitchen paper soaked in white glue:

 Added some paint and cut the eyes holes:

 

And finally added two halfs of a plastic ball as the eyes: 

 

About the electronics, I used a motoruino which controls the mouth RGB LED, the motors and servo of the cannon and the eye's pan and tilt servos and white LEDs:

Here you can see a colse-up of the eyes system:
