snowfern Posted December 3, 2014 Hi all, I am looking forward my first SD-sized doll, and was initially set on Rise Kujikawa, but after seeing Kizuna in person and knowing I might be able to purchase her at AFA this Friday, wondered if any of you have tried "regular" eyes on either Mirai or Kizuna? I understand that sculpts with smaller/natural eye socket sizes and shapes would wear regular eyes better, but perhaps being new to anime style dolls, any photos would be helpful and much appreciated!

Cauldroness Posted December 3, 2014 By regular, do you mean glass or urethane eyes, instead of the typical "animetic" eye? I don't think they'd work at all in Mirai. When I was trying new eyes in her, the eyes that worked best were ones with a tall, narrow iris -- the rounder the iris, the more cross-eyed she looks imho. Glass and urethane eyes are normally perfectly round irises. You'd either end up with an iris so large it took up her entire eye, a medium-sized iris that made her look very cross-eyed, or a small-sized iris that made her "see forever" in a blank-eyed stare.

snowfern Posted December 3, 2014 Ah yes Cauldroness, glass/urethane vs the animetic eyes ...as you can tell I'm new to these terms, DDs are a whole new world to me, even though I have plenty of friends who own them, personally, have only owned MSD sized resin dolls! Yeah, I agree wholly with the points you have brought up, was just curious to see how much different these dolls can look/be customized, I like the default eyes anyway I will still get Kizuna if it isn't sold out by my turn in the queue, and look forward to posting here again ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
