Realdoll Eye Movement
You only need a small syringe, I used a CPU cooling paste syringe (which I cleaned out of course), a container for some water, and some dish soap.
If the doll is new, the eyeball sticks to the silicone pretty well, so at first, it need some extra prodding to get the eye moving. Opening the eyelid and gently pushing the eye around in the socket helps to loosen it up, letting the dish soap water mixture do it's work.
It basically forms a barrier between the silicone and the eye, allowing it to move freely, as shown in the video.
IMO, regular lube tends to over-lubricate the socket, making the eye too slippery.

Re: Realdoll Eye Movement
Plain water may indeed also work, but I feel, with a little bit of dish soap it makes the water more slippery.
With the small amount of soap, the water doesn't foam up, so I can't say it leaves much behind.
The wet appearance of the eyes is indeed a bonus

Re: Realdoll Eye Movement
This might also work on other brands. I'm going to try this for a future photo shoot.
Re: Realdoll Eye Movement
Worked great, eyes move really easy but hold the position when released. However I still have a hard time aligning both eyes to a natural looking position. I think Azures eye just mesmerize me when I look into them.

Re: Realdoll Eye Movement
That just takes practice to get right, you have to pick a point where both irises focus at. It's a little tricky, and with me, it takes several adjustments to get right.0osik wrote:However I still have a hard time aligning both eyes to a natural looking position.
But when the eyes can easily be moved, that helps a lot to make small adjustments.

Re: Realdoll Eye Movement
I bought an Anatomical doll with 2 heads and tried everything to get the eyes moving, I tried lube on a cotton bud pushed behind the eyes. . . that didn't work and they were still too hard to move, doing this I buggered the delicate eye lashes up and had to glue them back on!
I'm glad you posted this because I found it and tried it (after I'd almost given up) and it works brilliantly! The eyes of both AD heads now move with great ease!
You should make this one a sticky, it should/will save a lot of doll owners lots of trouble and possible damage. Not just for RD's but for all dolls with poseable eyes.
