Has anyone thought of replacing the eyes with acrylic doll eyes? I mean they might not blink anymore but that hole is just perfect for inset eyes.I'm actually trying that but it's finding the right size that is a problem... The pony I'm working on I had to cut the back of the sockets completely to do what I was thinking.. still though finding or making the right size doll eyes is the hard part.
Oh man, that'll be cool to see. You gotta post pics whenever you find the perfect eyes!Has anyone thought of replacing the eyes with acrylic doll eyes?

Sounds neat-o. I bet you could use a hotknife to cut the eye holes, you'd just have to be really careful with it. I have a Versatool and it works great on plastics and such. Creating a socket inside though.... I wonder if you could make some from latex? Glue it inside her head behind the eyes and then you could probably just pop the eyes in through the front and fiddle with them until they sit right?Has anyone thought of replacing the eyes with acrylic doll eyes?

To follow you off topic on the tangent of doll eyes, I acquired a doll head with bbe eyes just the right size for an adult pony and I'm going to try and install them in a pony and the issue is how do I go about crafting the eye sockets....if I cut out the sockets and try to attach them to the back of the pony and cut out the eye holes, how do I get that to look right? I'm considering trying it on a TE with the deeper sockets but I'm not sure yet how to proceed. i was thinking maybe trying this on a baity Peachy and seeing if I can make it into a peachy-size my pretty pony custom.
