MannequinFan, you used to sell a package of pupils (set of

which I bought few years back for one of your first eyes set. I really like these. Are those pupils compatible with the new 32mm eye system? If not, can we order more pupils when passing the order (the kit come with 4).

Thanks Swan for letting me know about this!

Apparently there was an issue with the USPS calculated shipping and the PayPal function in the Ecwid shopping cart.
I've switched back to the old flat rate shipping method until they fix the issue. This also may have been causing issues with paying without a PayPal account, so hopefully it will all get ironed out here shortly.

Hi Babel, how old is your eye set?
The iris I make now is 13mm diameter. Before July 2018 the iris size was 14mm.

EDIT: I found your iris order back in May 2018. Looks like Grim did those and they are probably the 14mm.
Unfortunately I don't do the 14mm anymore. All EME sets after July 2018 have been for 13mm iris so those will not fit the new EME sets. Yes, you can add add more 4 color iris sets to your order, I usually have some listed each month, although limited because it takes a lot of time to make them.

Hi MannequinFan,

very happy that you are still around. Your products rocks. So yeah I would be interested into a new set with 8 pupils. Should I sent it to you by PM (since the website just accept 4) or you want me to do it another way?

Have a great weekend and enjoy your timeoff. To this day I still enjoy the eyes you made for me 5 years ago

Alright, everything is all fixed with the shopping cart thanks to the excellent customer service at Ecwid.
All the PayPal buttons are working including the pay later and pay with credit card if you don't have a PayPal account...

For those that are wanting to start an online store I can't recommend Ecwid highly enough. Support is fantastic.
It's completely free for 5 items or less, and the Venture plan (100 items) is very affordable.

Alright folks, the February sale is finally underway. I needed to make some changes to the EME order pages before I could start the sale today so it started a little late.

After doing some research it seems that many doll makers are using the typical 32-33mm half round eyes with cotton backing in their silicone doll heads as well as TPE heads, so to be more clear on what's available, I've broken the EME types down into the 5 basic configurations that I've encountered so far...

I've also added a drop down to select your doll head brand with all the TDF verified manufacturers listed. If you have a brand not listed, or are not sure, just pick not sure. If you know the brand and it's listed, please select as this will help me create a knowledge base of eye types by manufacturer.

There's also selections for doll head material and the eye type used in your doll. If your doll uses the type 4 movable eyes (i.e. SM, Starpery), you'll need to remove an eye and verify the dimensions as there are a few different sizes of this eye unit being used. I am aware of the sizes used by some manufacturers but it never hurts to check to make sure.

Yeah. I'm finding now it's not as simple as just having one type for TPE dolls and one for silicone dolls.
Folks just need to check the eyes in their dolls before ordering since there's so many different types & sizes being used now, especially for silicone dolls.
