ping pong ball?
polystyrene ball?

maybe a pingpong ball?

Your best bet would probably be a ping-pong ball coated in red felt. That shouldn't droop too much when moving, other than bobbing up and down.

only prob with the ping pong ball is that it's not large enough...the FF12 version moogles had a ball that was HUGE compared to it's earlier versions

Old but I used a wire frame that connected to the mesh and held together with zipties
x: it was very light and stayed up nicely, it has a lovely bounce to it and is very posable x3

does the wire stay in place or spin around? This was another issue I figured I'd have to deal with

Hmm Let me make a graph of how it was set :D

Oh yes it does stay in place. The wire doesn't wiggle around one bit :3

KUPO!

Should be interesting to see completed. The base is really awesome so far. ^^

's boyfriend made a moogle suit...I don't know what he used for his antenna thing though. :/

I was gonna say ping pong balls too, but Styrofoam seems to be the best option. Then like, buying a small amount of long puffy fur to like, glue it on the ball or something. But then again, it'll be nice if you can find something like the Styrofoam ball but more squishy. :3

OMG OMG OMG THIS IS AWESOME! MOOGLE AWESOMENESS!!!!

how about a plastic red christmas tree ornament?! it tis the season
btw where did you get your foam for the head? I'm looksing at all these tutorials and having a hell of a time figuring out what the foam is called and where to get it.

the foam is an upholstery foam ( the type used for furniture). It can be bought at stores like Michaels and JoAnn Fabrics and comes in different thicknesses from 1/2" to 5" and you pay per yard. This stuff can get expensive so it's best to go in with a coupon or wait til it goes on sale, which it does quite regularly. It's generally green in color but I've heard it comes in others. Green can be a problem if the fur you buy is thin...the green WILL show thru. I'm using alot of 1" thick foam for this costume since it's pretty rigid but still thin enough to get the job done. You can glue this stuff together with hot glue but I recently discovered CONTACT cement (NOT to be confused with rubber cement) I can't seem to find a large jar of it but, hands down, this stuff is SOOOOO much better than any glue I've used so far and the bond is as flexible as the material it's bonding...

hope this info helps...
