Red line I made for myself earlier BEFORE the above photos were taken...

Bacalava: I know you're going to state that this type of bacalava is NOT suggested, however I can not stand the thin material bacalavas, they make me very uncomfortable and I don't like to feel wet inside a suit. Oddly enough i've worn a suit for 4+ hours with this thicker cloth bacalava method and I was comfortable the whole entire time and didn't feel wet in my head. Other suits with thin bacalava I felt wet all over my face X_x I HATED IT. Just had to state it in case the bacalava police come to the rescue! XD I'm looking for other critiques like the ones below or anything else.
After making the nose as long as my red line I kept feeling it was WAY TOO LONG, so I had to use about half the nose length from the red line and posted the photos above afterwards. I made the jaw a lot taller but I really feel I should keep the ears large, it gives it a bit more character. Is what I've done suggested?
Moving jaw: I feel as if I always always always need to use a piece of metal to keep the upper jaw in place with my nose position, only because typically the head pushes down too far so the moving jaw has a harder time functioning. This costume's jaw moves better than my previous one, however the wire around the bottom of the upper jaw may help the jaw move by keeping the upper jaw from pressing weight on the lower jaw. I subtracted foam away from the upper jaw slightly which also helped out, but is there a method I should take note of or use instead of wire?
*Elastic: I used two pieces this time, one around the top of the head and the other one a bit lower, both connected at the bottom middle of the lower jaw with added fleece on top for durability.
*Teeth: I'm going to look at some memories for this.... Do you suggest having teeth in the first place? :0 this might be suggested for this character.
Soooo....
