This is going to be a quick post, since I already went super into detail in my previous post about changing plastic eyechips on Pullips. Click here to read the full article!
Instead of having to break the eyechips out of the eye mechanism’s sockets, you will have to cut them out with an exacto knife. I did not want to take any pictures of this process, since it was pretty gnarly looking. My recommendation would be, to cut directly into the middle of the rubber eyechips and to pull the pieces of rubber out of the sockets with your hands. In contrast to plastic eyechips, rubber eyechips are not reusable. The most delicate step is to make sure that no residue of the eyechips stays behind in the sockets, which you might need to again use your exacto knife for. It is important to be careful not to scratch the white plastic of the eye-mechanism in the process. The rest is pretty much a piece of cake!
I hope this short piece helped and thank you so much for reading!

Ahhhh!!! You are now a dolly eye surgeon!!!! Poppy looks amazing with her new eyechips. I still have a few MIO kits that I haven’t touched. Hopefully I can get to them soon as I am so inspired by your work!!!
Surgeon might be too much of a praise! 🙂 Thank you for liking Poppy’s new look, I was so afraif at first! >< I hope, you'll get to have fun with your MIO kits soon. I am still experimenting around, but it is such a nice pastime! <3
