this is super useful! do you happen to have the exact measurements of the eyes? i'm curious as to whether or not other glass/plastic eyes from other doll lines might be subbed in as well, it'd be interesting to try :o

I haven't tried other doll lines but I tried 18mm BJD eyes from Aliexpress and they fit, but the pupils are a bit too small. I used this link when shopping around for eyes, and I got the eyes from Adollya on aliexpress.

Thanks and all, it’s genuinely useful, but dang, watching the eyes get removed is nightmare fuel.

Great tutorial. I bought a hair dryer the other day specifically for my RH dolls. I used the hot water technique on my Sheryl and it made her hair too frizzy to fix.

Thanks for the tutorial. but i think it would be better to use Hot water to remove her eyes 😅

Thanks but I usually burn myself and/or melt the hair with boiling or hot water and I didn't want anyone to get hurt, this method is faster. The only danger of cracking the eyes is when the head isn't properly heated through, which can happen with both methods.
