My suggestion is to not waste your money on an armature. Build one yourself. It may be different based on how you sculpt, but after some experimentation I have decided I like to hollow out the eyes almost like a skull, roll up some clay into perfect balls, insert them like real eyes, and then use small flat pieces of clay as eyelids. I also, depending on the piece may want to go deeper into the cheekbone area, or where ever. You get the idea. Also, I have yet to find an armature that is big enough to really help when making a wearable piece. I have the big joe from CFX, but I still use a ton of clay to get it to where its a good size to wear. Once again, someone else may have a better suggestions, but a wood base with a pipe and some aluminum foil works very well and is way cheaper.
