I've wanted to make one of these for years - now I have. It's sculpted
in monster clay and it was jolly fun, here a some progress photos. (Skip to the bottom for the finished thing)
For this one I used polyurethane rubber for the tongue, just for a bit of extra texture.

The tongue was cast in polyurethane rubber, to get something a little bit more authentic. It isn't floppy but it seemed more interesting than a plastic tongue.
