He can thank Bob Brechin for the gripping hands and realistic hair too!!

You guys are right, I know the history and should have said Palitoy, I just instantly think of Hasbro when it comes to Joe.

If you want to get technical, the moving eyes thing goes even further back with girls dolls. Blythe is a good example.

Of course I know that some of you are aware of Eagle Eyes, but it also seams like a lot of people are just completely wowed by this concept. Those are the people that I targeted with that post, not those in the know.

My thoughts too.

But theres no reason for separate eye movement, since human eyes don't do that, and doing both at once means you don't have to position them separately and make sure they are matched, so i like it, alot simpler and easier it seems than enterbay's single eyes.

Just really curious how it'll be on batman.

Eyes don't normally move separately, but having both eyes move separate will allow you to position the eyes so that they're looking at something close or far away. When you focus on something close, you eyes begin to cross a little, as you look at something far away, they widen out a bit.

It's subtle but still noticeable.

This reminds me of "Eagle Eye Vision" for the original 12" GI Joes from the 70's. I still have one in perfect condition that I bought from a antique store back in the 90's. Looks like trends have a tendency to come full circle.

Yeah we all know its an old concept, EB revived it for Bruce and we was all like 'cool' then HT followed with PERS and we are now 'WOW'

Maybe EB will have blinking eyes next, then HT will follow up with eyes that blink and move on their own

Its evolution........

Darth Callous was actually the first to use it on modern figures. Then Enterbay started using it.

This is definitely an issue that comes up when painting eyes. When you paint the eyes exactly parallel, they give a thousand yard stare. If you paint them so they look more 'alive' and looking at you close up, they can look a bit cross eyed when viewed from far away.
