Anyone ordered from Safrin doll eyes before?

I usually do NOT like the look of acrylic, but I've seen quite a few photos online of these and they look so nice! Just wanted to know if they were worth the two week wait, and if they look as nice IRL as they do in some photos? They're pretty cheap which is also tempting.

I have...they're not bad at all for acrylic eyes.  I've slowly changed out MOST of my dolls to glass eyes, but I still have a few that are using them.

I've ordered from them. I've bought some of their own brand, but now all my girls wear Eyeco soft glass eyes which I also bought from Safrin. Highly recommended!

hannaliten: I love the look of eyeco, but I need smaller than 10 mm. The eyes would be for my incoming pukipuki, which is why I was asking about acrylic--there is way more choices for them! Thanks for the input. I will definitely try the eyco in a future doll. I;ve never seen them in person so I am super curious.

Barbgirl: Wah, those are the Safrin acrylics? They photograph so well. I think I'm going to try the now. Thanks so much for the pics and info.

Yeah, they photograph really well. The colors are super bright.  I don't have any pukipukis that are wearing them, but my Risa is...so even in tiny form, they photograph nicely.

Did you have any trouble getting the eyes into Risa's eye-well barbgirl?

I love those eyes on her but I had trouble getting anything except the stock eyes into my Pukifee Luna - nothing would fit in her eye-well!

Not at all.  I can take a picture of the inside of her head when I get home if you'd like, so you can see how they sit.
