The Baboon Head for Men
(This head is for MEN ONLY, Women's version is sold separately)

Ready to monkey around? Feel like going APE?? You're never short on banana jokes with the Baboon Hair. This head replacement is extreme, bold, and eye catching. It's built-in facial hair and pronounced snout draw in the eye, well it's full animation support allows you to both charm and intimidate at your complete discretion. Mix and match it with other animal accessories and hair styles to create the beast of your dreams.

Commands are:
":pp" - to blow a Raspberry
">:D" - for an Evil smile
":D" - for a big Friendly smile
"Intimidate" - to Snarl

For perfectly matching animated ears, try my Baboon Ears:

PLEASE NOTE: This version is for MEN ONLY. There is a Female Baboon Head sold separately. It should work well with all hairstyles, but won't fit most glasses or other facial accessories. If you prefer to only have the hair built into the head, use a Bald hairstyle like my Super-Cheap Baldy Hair. The skin and eyes are "AnySkin", so they can be swapped with any skins you have. The built-in hair of the model can't be altered without deriving a new version (Please see Deriving Section below). Please use TRY IT before you BUY IT to ensure it works with your chosen outfit! There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't work with your existing outfit or body type.

Prefer black hair? Purple Hair? Rusted Metal Plates? And how about some SOUND FX's?? Well then, buddy, start Deriving! Make your own version, and even sell it the catalog for a small markup over my original, and keep the extra profits for yourself! You can express yourself AND earn credits at the same time. How's that for a sweet deal? You'll need a full account on IMVU, as well as a copy of Previewer. You can find out more about Deriving on the IMVU's Education Center. Below is the template you'll need to get started (Right Click and Save As to your computer):

This is the actual Texture map used on the built-in Hair. The hair is mirrored, left to right, so whatever appears on one side is backwards on the other. Use this for simple changes like altering color:

This is the Wireframe Template for Hair. This shows you exactly how the Texture map adheres to the structure of the model. You'll need this if you want to create a completely new Texture map:

To add sound, I highly recommend you download and use Audacity. It's a free sound editing tool that can export out OGG sound files. OGG sound files compress down to less then 1/10th the file size of WAV files. SO USE OGG FILES!!! You can download it here:

Also avoid looping sounds, as they tend to get annoying to listen to very quickly. Try to keep your volume levels low as well, as IMVU tends to over-amplify all audio playback to near ear-bleeding levels.
