I didn't remove the neck hinge of the Xeno, or really paint it that much, and the tongue isn't actually mounted to anything, I just glued a Revo joint to it so it could hook over the lip of the chest. But unless the mou is flipped wide open, you'd never see that. Here's a pic from the sculpting of the gums I guess, it's the closest thing I have on my phone. The lines of teeth are attached with magnets
Here's the main stuff I used:
