16mm Eyes

Elevate the presence of your stop-motion characters with our 16mm Realistic Acrylic Eyes. In animation, the eyes are the primary tool for communicating emotion. These premium eyes provide the reflective qualities necessary to elevate your work.

While smaller eyes are great the 16mm scale can add cuteness for smaller character and anatomic proportions to larger-scale puppets. These eyes provide a bold, expressive gaze that translates perfectly to the big screen.

Why Choose Our 16mm Animation Eyes?

• Vivid Detail & Clarity: Crafted from high-density acrylic, these eyes offer a glass-like finish that won't dull or scratch easily during the rigors of a long shoot.

• Color Palette: Choose from four natural tones: Brown, Blue, Green, or Grey.

• Scale: At 16mm, these are ideally sized for larger puppet heads, specialized sculptures, and custom doll artistry.

• Compatibility: Works well with Chroma Clay, plasticine, or epoxy putties like Milliput.

Technical Tip: Achieving Smooth Eye-Lines

Our acrylic eyes are manufactured with a traditional rear mounting stem. For the precision requirements of stop-motion, we recommend snipping this stem off. Once removed, the sphere can be seated into a socket, allowing you to animate subtle eye-line shifts. Just as you'll discover in this blog post.

Looking for a different scale? We also supply these realistic eyes in 12mm and 14mm diameters to ensure your entire character lineup is consistent.
