First and foremost a HUGE THANK YOU again to MF

As usual MF did an outstanding job on this set of eyes for Amber. He came up with a new iris texture for this vibrant ice blue and we couldn't be happier. It has a very slight "limbal ring" that changes with the angle of light and POV from invisible to a thin line...really cool!! I had no idea what a "limbal ring" was until MF schooled me on it

Its the outer edge of the iris and I wanted to get as much color out of these as possible and MF came thru.

Here's my beautiful Amber with her new MF eyes and lash bases

Great photo's Billy and excellent job on the eyes MF.

I might haveto get some of his eyes now that I'll be getting a JM 130 soon.

Hey Billy thanks for the great photos and kind words!
I'm really happy you and Amber like them!

Love this shot - I'm going to have to call those "Electric Blue"...

P.S.
I really like the glitter makeup in the last photos!

Lately I've found that the Krylon chalky finish paint is just about perfect for the eyelids. It gives an ultra matte finish that will also take eye shadow.
The lids below are painted with the grey "Mink" color which will be the standard. If there's any interest, I may add some of the other chalky finish colors such as the "Bonnet Pink" and "Morning Sky" blue for brighter makeup schemes.
You can see the other colors here: http://www.krylon.com/products/chalky-finish-paint/

Special thanks to my good friend Begog for this lovely dark tan Zoya head!
I needed something a little more adult looking than Aggie so this fit the bill perfectly.
She's been stripped and cleaned and ready for a complete makeover.
Hopefully when I get a chance I'll be making some YouTube videos showing some different makeup schemes.
Until then, stay tuned!

It's good to see you got a legit head.
I might have to try your 3d eyes if I get a DS doll.

I'm not sure that my eyes will work with DS.
They use a unique eye mechanism...

I do have some 26mm ones that will work with JM & PIB dolls though.

Yeah I was gonna get a JM 130 but I changed my mind.

I might just use it on a 3rd TPE head then.

I see you stripped off all the original makeup. Can't wait to see the new makeover. Glad you're happy with the head.

Thanks for posting!

I just received a shipment from Mannequinfan. To say it was professionally packed is like saying the Patriots are pretty good. These eyes were packed better than the dolls themselves. I am blown away at how professionally these parts are wrapped.

As you can see, he sent 2 sets of eyeballs (one BLACK!

), 4 iris colors, 2 sets closing eyelids, and an iris removal magnet. The extra screws are to adjust the eyeball height if needed. You can adjust these eyes WITHOUT REMOVAL. And they are EASY MOVE eyes as well. They have to be the best eyes available for a TPE doll. Maybe any doll. The features are outstanding.

I already had an iris magnet, but mine was way too strong. The iris would jump out of the eye from a 1/2" away, and may be how a couple of tiny eyeball magnets got dislodged. This one pulls the iris out about the time you make contact. It's perfect, and even has a handy extension handle. I've been pretty busy lately, and just got back from Allottapalooza. I can see a lot of way cool uses for these. More pics coming soon.
