The long story is encapsulated in this post of mine.

The thing is really well made. I hope Fox will take some close up photos of the inside of it so people can see just how cool it is. You can see through the eyes because there's a mesh covering them, and there's some holes for venting and peripheral vision. It's made of a straw hat inside so it's really sturdy and comfortable holding it's shape, etc. I am super super impressed with the quality of work on the costume.
