I'd suggest (going by the images produced) taking a look at the
blob-man include file...

Failing that, possibly borrowing some 3D meshes from around the net?
(3D Cafe and the like).

There's at least 1 tutorial on making human heads with sPatch, though
I can't offhand think where it is :(

The biggest problem with using meshes would probaly be the joints -
problems that blobman almost certainly doesn't suffer from.
