Are Tibby's eye Crooked?

Baby Talk

Whaa! I finally inserted these eyes and I think Tibby’s eyes are deformed… He left eye looks a lot smaller and lower… eh.

What do you think? I was thinking of having her look off the side so it’s not too noticeable…

I think they look good - somewhere I read that when you photograph the doll, make sure the lights hit the eye in the same place, then you will know they are placed correctly – I would love to see her look to the side & agree that it might be less noticeable. Shyann has the same issues with the placement of the eyes…one always looks larger than the other.

I had a heck of a time getting Tibby’s eyes right. I think the sockets aren’t the same size and are not shaped the same.

Absolutely! All the big toddlers have this problem…it was the most defined on Tessa…

Thanks for the responses, I thought I was going CrZaY! I’ve been messing with these eyes for a couple weeks now…

After googling I agree, it is the kit. The pupils are looking in the same direction, not much else I can do about eye shape. I will just chip off all the super glue I got all over her eyes and next time I will have Tibby looking off to the side…lol.

I continuing to hope BB will come out with a new standing toddler

ME TOO!!! I have been buying biggie kid kits from other dealers, and those girls by Natali Blick have incredible detail to their feet and hands, but they are sitters; they do sit and pose gorgeously, though. I have still been importing kits from Germany (Gerlinde Feser) and have one or two BB biggies to work on, but I am sooooooo ready for a new kid on the block!!

BB, did ya’ hear us in between our sobs?

I really like Schick! I make a Tatiana head with Chun Mei limbs, she looked really good. Regina Swialkowski has some really cute standing toddlers, but the kits’ vinyls are hard as a rock, lol. Either way I always fret at paying $100 plus on a kit, unless it’s a custom.

I would LOVE a smaller standing toddler. I would jump at the chance to make a standing Cookie sized doll, a chubby legged one year old who just learned to walk… or maybe just produce the legs and we can buy them in the parts section. I saw someone selling old secondhand 24" standing Secrist legs on ebay; I bid on them but they went for $30-40 a set.
