I wired the eye lights into the brass eye sockets and am very happy with the results.
My sound system will consist of a CFSound 3(the 2 is no longer available) Board, and a small speaker. Voice and servo sound clips will be stored on the sound board and accessed via pressure switches mounted in the feet and hands.
The eyes will have three LED's for each eye, and they will be tied to a 9v battery in the back.
