Yeah, I find a LOT of off the shelves figures need work, part of the fun for me though, I love customizing! What you\'re gonna want to do, is go to a hobby store (Michales is great) and get some acrylic paints, looks like arctic white would look nice for the eyes, get any other colors you want to touch up, or just have some fun with! It\'s cheap paint, about a buck a bottle. Also, get some gloss acrylic based sealer too. When you paint, you\'ll want the eyes to be smooth as possible, so squeeze a little of the white paint in a small container (I like to use milk bottle lids) and add a little water, just a couple small drops, then mix it up with a brush. To apply it, take some open celled foam, and cut it into a smallish point, then dab it on lightly, and blow out the air bubbles. Let that set for a sec and do another coat or 2 until it looks good. If you slop anywhere else, you can just rub it off with your fingernail when it\'s dry! When the paint on the eyes is dry, add a thick coat of the sealer, it looks whitish when you alppy it, kinda like milk, but it dries clear!
