Eye Variants in Figures

[Hopper]

Been looking at the eyes recently.

I have identified three types.
I believe the differences between them are large enough that they can legitimately be called variants. Obviously the eyes are applied as a transfer (that must be the most tedious job, ever), so it's the actual transfer that is the variant.

They are:
1) Thin
2) Thick
3) Staring

as far as I can tell:

Series 1 eyes are all Thin
Series 2 Wave 1 are a mixture of Thin and Thick (possible chronological differences? perhaps.)
Series 2 Wave 2 are all Staring

The Thin and Thick eyes are the same, but the width of the lines are Thin and Thick respectively. The staring eyes of the Second Wave are very characteristic, the eyeball and upper line is very distinct. It goes with the hard plastic as an identifier.

This may create havoc for people such as myself! I am still exploring the implications of this, and whether it may be tweaked a little, but such as it is...

Thoughts people?

Here's a comparison of Thin and Thick eyes

I think you're right on this, just not sure that Series 2 Wave 1 are a mixture, perhaps more that Series 2 Wave 1.2 types more likely to be avant garde thick version. But stock issues come into play here, at least before harder plastic arrives. Interesting to factor in the harder plastic as you mention, seals the issue for staring types perhaps? Not sure I ever owned any of them though!
