I tried that first. They wanted $5 for one pair. Just thought that was to expensive. The ones i found at harveyshobbyhut.com look realistic but were like $8 for 50

You can buy eyes for $1.00 pr, if you want quality eyes, they start at about $3.50 for competetion grade, and professional eyes, $5.00 pr. They are priced according to size also. You pay for what you get. For most things, the cheap eyes are fine.

I like to carve mine, eyes are very expressive depending on how they are carved.
I mainly use a shallow gouge to cut the outline and a skew chisel to clean it out.
