Got a question about Dr. Teeth. What are those things that are on his eyes in the first picture here? (http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Dr._Teeth)

I think they're sunglasses, but they might be his eyelids. :D

It's part of what makes him so cool. Even his eyelids are hip sunglasses.

Yeah, very cool part about Teeth's design; that his shades also double as eyelids - and his bandmate Floyd's shades also blink like eyes! All the EM have really uniquely designed eyes when it comes down to it - already mentioned Teeth/Floyd (and before Floyd's shades blinked in 1977, they originally were special in that they had the psychedelic lenticular effect), Animal has his eyes that widen and close, Zoot's eyes are perpetually replaced by sunglasses, Janice's are lids, and even later member Lips has his slanted look.

Judging from the Palisades figure of the good doctor.

They are his sunglasses.
Unless his eyelids have frames that attach to his ears.

Oh yeah, the half sunglasses he wear kinda upsidedowny... Abd they do double as expressive eyelids. Very clever design, headache for anyone to try to draw, but very clever puppeteering device.
