It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.Dismiss Notice

Acrylic Eyes
Acrylic eyes are made from resin of any group of related plastic substances derived from acrylic acid or a related compound. Most acrylic eyes consist of an opaque white sclera, then a printed decal of the iris and pupil that is capped off with a clear plastic lens. The clear plastic portion may or may not also encase the white.
These are the most economically priced eyes on the market, they are more readily available and come in many varieties of styles. There are even "DIY" kits for making your own custom acrylic eyes, allowing owners to create character-specific eyes very economically. Acrylic eyes vary widely in quality; finer acrylic eyes have better printing and use finer, clearer plastic for the lens. Lower quality eyes may be poorly printed or have slightly cloudy or filmy lenses. The main disadvantage of these eyes are that they have the highest chance of breaking/cracking, being scratched and, in some cases, becoming discolored. They also frequently lack the depth and clarity found in glass or urethane eyes.
