Sculpey is a polymer sculpting clay that never dries out, but when baked, becomes rock hard. You can even drill it and sand it. Great for small sculptures, jewelry etc.

The tiki used on the show is now considered an antique.

Actually, I'm pretty sure, it isn't, strictly by definition:

ANTIQUE: any work of art, piece of furniture, decorative object, or the like, created or produced in a former period, or, according to U.S. customs laws, 100 years before date of purchase.

What I meant was, the "gift shop" tiki bought by the prop master to use on the show is no longer available, a rarity, a collectible. An "antique" does not necessarily have to be 100 years prior to. The actual piece used in the filming of the Brady episode was made in the 60's. It is now 2008 so I think we are safe to say that if you were to find a Coco Joe original (or such company) from that time period, one would consider it an antique :)
