Eyes For Display? - Michael Price - 11-03-2009
What are your favorite sources for prop eyes? I've been looking at <a href=\"http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Van Dykes</a> Taxidermy, but is there a better/preferred source?Once I get a supplier nailed down, I'll just need to make up my mind on color. Robert Englund's eyes are a blueish-gray, and it shows in some Nightmare promo pictures, but in the films aren't his eyes more of a deep red color?

If im not mistaken the only time his eyes were that red color was for the close up in Part 2. His eyes were the natural color otherwise (green/blue/grey)Here is a screen shot from part 1, its kind of hard to see on here but if you save the picture and zoom in you can see the green/blue/grey<img src=\"http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/JackCapersTheVillain/FREDDYHATP24.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />I got some really good eyes for my BF, I believe they are "Masterpiece Soft Glass Eyes" I got them from ebay so I dont know exactly what the name of the color is.<img src=\"http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/JackCapersTheVillain/DSC09771.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

As mentioned, www.glasseyes.com probably make the best human eyes, but they <i>are</i> expensive.For my own Freddy bust I used acrylic eyes - most are pretty awful, with big, obvious lines painted on them, but I've found these to be pretty good (sold by 3551davidw on eBay):<img src=\"http://i12.ebayimg.com/03/i/001/3b/75/1882_12.JPG\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />I used the Lt. Violet (LV) for Freddy:<img src=\"http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/msbillen/Freddy1-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
