The contents of these bags are predominantly olive green, meaning that it's time to begin construcion of the grizzled head of this 900 year old Grand Master Jedi.
Let's get started....
Bag #9 contains the parts that constitute the support structure of the head and the upper portion of Yoda's facial features. The large majority of the parts are quite small.
This part of the build abruptly moves from plate layering techniques to a more conventional use of bricks and slopes.
By far, the most interesting assemblies are the eyes. Through clever use of 'radar dish' elements, rods, and clips, some very convincing recessed eyes are formed, complete with movable eyelids!
"Through the Force, things you will see." - Yoda
Bag 10 yields the parts for forming the lower half of Yoda's handsome mug. Nobody knows this creature's species or planetary origins - not even Wikepedia!
Bag 11 - it's all ears. These prominent Yoda-features are nicely built up from assemblies of inverted and curved slope elements.
Bag 12.
These parts complete the top and back sections of Yoda's head. A few white elements interspersed with the green represent the creature's wispy hair.
And, finally - de-decapitation!
Before attaching the completed rear section of Yoda's head, the main assembly is affixed to the technic piece protruding from the neck. A capped axle piece secures the head nicely.
Now the back of the head can be affixed in its proper place.
The neck mechanism imparts a little bit of movability and posing to Yoda's head.
"Feel the Force!" - Yoda
