What kind of eyes do you shop for?

Oct 8, 2016

    1. I like more realistic eyes, I've found. My RS Mi - Iris - has glitter turquoise eyes and I am finding I like them less and less. On the other hand, Ayla has glass dark green eyes that I adore. I've ordered some fern green eyes for one of my tinies and I think I'm going to order some new ones for Iris that are more natural looking. Maybe in a darker colour. I've only been in the hobby a few months, so I am still figuring out what I like...but I'm fairly certain I'll be going with more natural, preferably glass, eyes in the future.

    2. The eyes I use most are Dollmore Special Mono Acrylics. They are standard sized pupilless mono coloured eyes which really catch the light well and compliment my fantasy sculpts perfectly. Other than those I use Kokdoll for low dome small pupil glass eyes.

    3. I like shiny eyes, those with sequins and diamonds attract me most! :love

    5. Almost all of my dolls wear eyes by Masterpiece and Eyeco. I find that these eyes are some of the most realistic out there (and I like realistic!) and they always fit well because of the soft materiel they're made of- which is great to avoid any annoying 'gaps'.

      Not sure why so many people feel soft glass eyes/silicone eyes are difficult to keep clean? I have never had any problems with soft glass eyes getting super dusty or anything like that :3

    6. I wish I bought more Oscar eyes!! I bought my first pair in December, and now they are closing down!
      Well - they have been bought by Swan Doll, but it's not certain they'll make the same designs :pout:

    10. I prefer eyes made of glass. I tend to buy the more natural colors with the swirlies in the iris instead of the more plain ones but I really like the fantasy colors with all of the glitter and metalic bits or novelty pupils. They're so pretty but don't fit any of my characters at all.

    11. I've been searching for a specific ghostly gold color, and I've found it on a number of eyes, glass with no detail, highly realistic acrylic, etc, but every time, the eye is just not available. Talk about frustrating!
      I'll be trying my hand at making eyes if the mold ever gets here! I guess it's coming from China.

    12. I love glass eyes and old Zoukei-mura eyes are my favorite(but now it's very hard to get them with good conditions), I also love Miyabi and Silver eyes (most of my eye collections are from those two brands), for non-glass eyes, I love DF but the waiting time is so long( I have an order placed 5 years ago and not received them yet). old MY eyes are also good, but they turns yellow as time goes on.

    13. Nothing particular but I believe I love glass eyes in realistic (a bit anime also OK) style, as they reflect the human eyes, the light, and also my shadow. It makes my children look real and have a soul in them...

    14. I absolutely love glass eyes, as they are more realistic and nice quality. Colors depend on the doll, but I usually go for blues, green, brown, etc.

    15. I've only tried acrylic, resin, and glass. I like glass eyes the most, they are so bright and glossy. I don't always go for natural colors as some of my dolls are elves, fairies, or mages.The resin ones that came with my dolls from Lume are nice, with small irises. I have a pair of Oscardoll eyes, and they are beautiful.

    16. I started out purchasing whichever colored eyes I could use for my dolls. Then I discovered a person who would make them completely custom around 2009-2010. I started purchasing eyes with small iris, compared to average doll eyes that have iris sizes that take upward of 60% of the whole eye -- I prefer more realistic sized irises, so I need them to be 1:3 of the eye, or smaller. However, I am not a fan of resin, so I stopped shopping for eyes, despite not having all the ones I need yet, because I don't want to own eyes that will eventually degrade over time. I prefer glass or silicone, but nobody makes 100% custom eyes, that have semi-realistic irises in those materials.

    17. I love eyes that stand out! If they have fun shapes in them, are very shimmery or shiny or otherwise will stand out in photography, I'll probably love them!

    18. Glass, they are sooo stunning! They also have the most depth

    19. I love realistic, but kind of magical or really pretty eyes! A quick example I grabbed would be something like this? (But I would prefer it to be less printed looking, if that makes sense?)

    20. Though I also love the opalescent kinds, but most of them don't come with pupils and I'm not a fan of that particular look.
