Anyone familiar with 1/6 glass eyes?

[eczamurai]

I bought a pair from augenladen.de, they seem handblown and look good in the pics. From what I gather 6mm eyes are good for 1/6 figures. Will let you guys know when they get in what they are like!

It might be very interesting to repair one of the early PERS heads that's broken -- the first DX Joker comes to mind -- with eyes that are fixed, but made of glass.

They have shipped! Stoked to find out what the quality is like. Looked too good to be true based on the pictures!

Wonder if they really are that perfect! Can't wait to butcher my Small Studios Joker and make it perfect to the T if the eyes are up to snuff!

They came in. And I was overwhelmed by the detail in the eyes at first, but dissapointed that they were too big for a normal 1/6th headsculpt. However, I did butcher my Yoda sculpt which is crappy anyway and tried to improve it with glass eyes for more puppetness!

Look at that INSANE amount of detail. No painted eye can ever look that good IMO.

Already contacted the seller to ask if he can get the same detail in a 4mm eye instead of 6mm! Pinacle of 1/6th eyes if he is capable of doing so IMO.

Keep us informed!!...I had bought a pair of these eyes in this size but I was not aware that they got smaller...:-/

The tedious job of painting the hands..

Why the hell does he have so many!?!?! All yoda does in the movie is sit or stand. -_-

I really feel like I brought out the likeness with the glass eyes and the chin sanding.

The glass eyes work REALLY well for Yoda imo. I used 6mm brown handblown ones from augenladen.de!

This has really come out well. Kudos.

That's the best Yoda head I've seen. Damñ.

What da hell...... that looks beautiful man, superbjob on that Yoda

Hot toys needs to replace their shi***y PERS eyes with some of those

 

[siquisiri]

Dude, please don't butcher that Joker sculpt. You know it's my favorite.

On the other hand this turned out great!

Glass eyes ruls. That is why I like Enterbay heads. I wish Hot toys would go this route. Yoda looks Fantastic.

 

[eczamurai]

Finished.

Very well done -- or should I say, "Nice save"? That's a SUPERB Yoda. Smart to realize the 6mm eyes would work for him.

Only 1/6 eyes I've seen. They're probably closer to you than that USA link.

Got more pics of the face, Samurai ?

 

[KashKenobi]

Oh my god! Best. Yoda. Ever. Well done EC!

 

[bigbawsmcgraw]
