EYES




Does anyone know of a source for "push eyes" like the samples pictured here? I've searched local stores as well as on-line, so far without success.




I need a pair of either clear/colorless or brown (size 20mm or larger) for the Knee Pal I am trying to modify to replace Brent Vernon's "Sam" who was stolen.




I do have other types of brown eyes, but they would change the appearance of the face - I am determined to match the original if at all possible.

    Braylu sells irises... I think they only have them in 16mm tho. I think Lovik used 18mm or 20mm.

  2. I guess you can take off the paint of the pictures irises (using paint remover chemicals) and repaint them with your chosen color. I once made a grey iris brown using this method.

  4. If you get the amber iris from braylu, jus paint the backs brown and you will have beautiful brown eyes.

  5. Mercury plastics in new York used to manufacture these iris.
