Welcome alexdog1!
My mom has done some tikis with hypertufa, Look for Musubi Mom under this thread:

Those are the ones she did with molds, but she's also carved some, we even did some in the during our March San Diego Chop Chop:

One thing I see with your tikis that Tama might be noticing is that your stuff is kinda flat right now, either carved deep, or not at all. Start experimenting with some in between depths - make the teeth a little deeper than the lips, but not as deep as the inside of the mouth. :) The toes on the bottom guy looks really good.

But then again, it does give them an art deco, clean look. :)
