One of the things I love about soft puppets are the eyes. They're usually very comical. So I thought I'd try combining this charming soft puppet attribute with a hard figure. I purchased these wonderful big eyes and attached them to a Mikey/Donnie head I've been working on. I'll use Free Form Air to fill the gaps on the sides of the eyes. I'll also use the stuff to rim the top of the eyes. I plan to add raising eyebrows, too. Throw on a cute wig, and I think I'll have a very funny-lookin' character.
