Make doll eyes "cry"?
Make doll eyes "cry"?
I tried by filling a doll's eye sockets with water. It was partially successful, but with so many clever and inventive people around here, I think someone could have a better idea.
So - does anyone have a good idea on how to make a doll's eyes shed realistic enough tears?
Also, what would be a good waterproof filling for a doll's eyes provided that the cotton which is usually placed inside by vendors is removed?

Any other purpose is taking realism to a whole new level
Replacing the eyes with different types is as simple as looking at the options provided by MannequinFan or the work arounds by others

If you're set on those crying peepers, perhaps some high-viscosity silicone oil would get the tear effect and be waterproof. Or tiny micro-tubing filled with liquid - poke the ends out the eye holes for that dripping action. Ooh, use colored oil for blood tears! Now we're cooking with gas!Male Stroker
But personally, I'd leave the poor doll alone before you give some kid nightmares! Maybe try building Rube Goldberg machines or making cute paper automata instead? Or if you must make the toys cry, how about soap tears or glycerin for the theater kids?
Just some ideas! Let that creativity flow - towards the light side of the force if you can!
