Here is the website http://www.epflies.com/catalog.html
I ended up having to buy 1200 eyes but the price was good

Yep those are doll eyes repackaged into his packaging. I buy them in bulk from Darice. Only problem to get them where I do you need an 05 number.

Those eyes are doll's eyes - the post is for the spring washer behind the dolls melon...

I buy mine from Schrock's International - I'll have to post the toll free number tonight, last I knew they didn't have a web-site, only a catalog - like $1.99 per 100 for the 12mm eyes, less for the 9mm & I think they go up to 18mm. Also have plastic animal (cat's) eyes.

Here's a trick for y'all if you don't like the factory available colors:

Cut off the back-post using a pair of wire cutters and sand off the backing color by laying a sheet of sand paper on a flat surface, lay the eye backing side down on the paper and (using light pressure) push the eye across the sand paper to remove the backing color completely. Repaint the backs as desired.
