 In a version of the film, the creature only appears in the final  act. The studio was not satisfied by this, so they brought  Stan Winston (qv) in to create a new Tooth Fairy that would be  seen throughout the film. The original design (by  Steve Wang (I) (qv)) bears no resemblance to the new version,  although it is the basis for the McFarlane Toys figure released in  2002.
