I was getting worried when I was watching the movie because it's been a long time and it felt a little cheesy but thankfully it got great for me and was still very enjoyable. I agree the puppetry in the truck was done well. Much better than the earlier scenes.
It blew my mind when was 8 years old but it doesn't hold up as well as RoboCop does for me.
The eye scene isn't the worst part of the puppetry. There's a scene where he's reading Sarah's address book in his room and it looks ridiculous.
Yeah, I can acknowledge the dated practical effects. I probably saw it around the same age as you and I'm guessing I became conscious of the "seams" in the technology when I was in my teens. But for me it's like stop-motion taun tauns. i know it's fake but I wouldn't have it any other way.
