I understand what's going on in the head... the hinge operation, but I am dumbfounded when it comes to the mechanics of what's going on down below.

There's a linear servo mounted on the rotation axle. The head rotates via a 9 gr servo from below the cupola and the linear servo lifts the head. Theres another linear servo that taps the fingers.
If you look closely at the video, you can see the pushrod that moves the head up/down, it's right where the trachea would be. I'm not sure a fleshed out head would look good, it'd be like Charlie McCarthy.
