TEETH
Question: I was wondering if you could tell me what you use for teeth on your full size figures and where I could get some?

From Mr. D: The short answer: I make them.
Lower teeth are carved (Dremel tools), usually from wood dough or one of the modeling paper clays (Michaels). Upper teeth vary in the way they are made. I like white art foam (Michaels), or sometimes I carve them from the same materials as the lower teeth.
When I started building figures for Maher Studios in 1969, I made upper teeth from the white plastic of a cottage cheese container as I was taught by Mrs. Maher! But that was in the day when a label could be peeled from the container leaving a curved piece of thin sturdy plastic of solid white color. Today the container is imprinted so that method would be a bit more challenging.
