1. 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.

All about the eyes!!

Jun 2, 2016

    1. 1) Which is your favorite brand?
      Doll Bakery!
      2) What sizes of eyes you normally purchase?
      12mm is pretty common, but my dolls use anything from 10mm to 16mm.
      3) Which eyes' material you adore so much? Urethane? Glass?
      Urethane, no contest. I just wish there were more realistic options for urethane so that I can switch my Iple dolls over from silicone.
      4) How many pairs of eyes you have collected so far?
      I don't know. Over two dozen, I'm sure.
      5) Dome height? High? Low?
      Uh...regular dome? I like a balance between eyewell fit and depth/sparkle.
      6) Your favourite eyes color?
      It really depends on the doll. I probably have more shades of blue than anything else, though.


      @PeppermintPocky Wow, I need to try Silent Paradise! Those might be the realistic urethanes I've been hoping to find. Do you just order by messaging them on Facebook?

      @Sangz Here is my MSD wearing the rainbow ones (click for bigger):

    2. 1) Which is your favorite brand?
      It's a toss up between Oscar Doll and Candy Kittens Emporium. Both are unique and come in a wide range of sizes. I also like Ersa Flora eyes, but I'm beginning to wonder if that site has closed permanently.

      2) What sizes of eyes you normally purchase?
      Both my on-topic boys wear 16mm eyes, but I'm pleased with the defaults both came with so I don't switch them out much. The sizes I buy the most are 18 and 20mm eyes for one of my off-topic girls. Not an easy task, and thus why I love both Oscar Doll and Candy Kittens Emporium.

      3) Which eyes' material you adore so much? Urethane? Glass?
      I'm not picky, but if I had to pick it would be urethane.

      4) How many pairs of eyes you have collected so far?
      Eight and a half pairs. I say a half because Ersa Flora's steampunk eyes came in singles. I could've gotten two if I so chose, but I just wanted the one. Now I'm rueing the decision to just get one.

      5) Dome height? High? Low?
      Low, but again I'm not picky.

      6) Your favourite eyes color?
      Green and gray. Green is my favorite color for anything, be it eyes, hair, clothes, or resin. As for gray, I have my first on-topic doll to thank for my fondness for gray eyes. Johnny's defaults are a lovely shade of gray, the exact shade of a rain cloud. They look so natural in him that I fell in love with gray doll eyes.
       
    3. 1) Which is your favorite brand?
      Volks
      2) What sizes of eyes you normally purchase?
      It depand on doll size.. but I like 20mm
      3) Which eyes' material you adore so much? Urethane? Glass?
      Glass is much more better Urethane.
      4) How many pairs of eyes you have collected so far?
      Around 20 Pairs
      5) Dome height? High? Low?
      Mixed. But I prefer High
      6) Your favorite eyes color?
      Purple, Green
       
    4. @Zardi OMG sooooo cute~~~~~ Those rainbow eyes looks spectacular on your MSD
       
    5. 1) Which is your favorite brand?
      Blue Blood Doll
      2) What sizes of eyes you normally purchase?
      Most of my dolls take 12-14mm. That said, different brands can fit differently as far as how large the iris and pupil are.
      3) Which eyes' material you adore so much? Urethane? Glass?
      I prefer glass.
      4) How many pairs of eyes you have collected so far?
      I have over 50 pairs I'm pretty sure, including the default eyes or very cheap glass eyes from eBay before I decided to upgrade to Blue Blood Doll for all my Minifees. I'm still looking for options for my Pukifee and PukiPuki.
      5) Dome height? High? Low?
      Most of my MNFs can take a 14mm high dome, which I prefer because it catches the light better.
      6) Your favorite eyes color?
      My favorite is blue, then green. I'm trying to have a mix of natural colors, though.

      Here is my MNF Rheia, Olivia, in some gorgeous green Blue Blood Doll glass eyes in 14mm. There's a nice color transition to them.

    6. What size would you recommend for a Feeple60 Celine? I can't seem to find eyes that don't look kinda creepy or just not right for her
       
    7. Hello, i am not sure if you are still looking for suitable eyes for your Feeple60, but i think you will have better chances over here:

      Fairyland Feeple60 Discussion - part eleven

      They have a specific thread for fairyland feeple60. Good luck!! Hopefully you will find the right one!
       
    8. I am and thank you!!
       
    9. You're welcome :)
       
    10. 1) Which is your favorite brand?
      Gumdrops and Enchanted Doll both have so many pretty eyes; they are also the first brand names that came to mind, which is saying something, I think :).

      2) What sizes of eyes you normally purchase?

      That depends. For my personal collection, eye-size is 16-18mm. For FreakStyle it's 6-8mm. (seriously, if I've spend a long time working on one of my own dolls, and then go back to my collection, I'm always amazed at how HUGE those eyes are XD.


      3) Which eyes' material you adore so much? Urethane? Glass?
      Again, depends. For larger eye sizes, I personally think nothing comes close to urethane quality in terms of how well they reflect light. But when dealing with small sizes, below 10mm, it's the glass eyes that take over the first spot. For some reason, even well produced urethane eyes become a bit dull, where as the glass eyes in those sizes are very lively.

      4) How many pairs of eyes you have collected so far?
      Eh... way too many. And I buy them in bulk ;).

      5) Dome height? High? Low?
      For regular, bigger eyes: High domes. But for small eyes, and dreaming sculpts, low domes are the way to go, because otherwise they don't fit well.

      6) Your favourite eyes color?
      Pinks and purples for me :).

    11. Eyeses!

      1) Which is your favorite brand?
      MYSTIC ALL THE WAY THROUGH although Gumdrops are also gorgeous. Four of my dolls wear Mystics and two more will eventually get them. (Katen will never wear anything other than Soom silicone though.)
      2) What sizes of eyes you normally purchase?
      Of my seven dolls four wear 18mm eyes, and the other three are 14mm.
      3) Which eyes' material you adore so much? Urethane? Glass?
      Urethane. Absolutely. No. Contest.
      4) How many pairs of eyes you have collected so far?
      I actually don't collect eyes. I think I have...maybe ten pair? And seven dolls? But I also sell off the ones that don't work for me once I find the eyes that DO work.
      5) Dome height? High? Low?
      Low, they fit better. EXCEPT for Soom. There I am all about the double domes.
      6) Your favourite eyes color?
      My dolls' eyes run the gamut, pretty much, although two have variants on green (one forest, one teal) and two have variants on red (one ruby, the other yellow-and-red).
       
    12. 1) Which is your favorite brand?
