A17 head has arrived!

Thanks, I tried with these eyes and others to remove the glue with my fingernails and it's not working.

@alexchangander my A17 was the exact same way.

The eyes were somewhat bugged and couldn’t be positioned.

Unfortunately, most people considers them a loss after this because super glue is acrylic plastic when cured, and the eyes are acrylic as well.

So anything that attacks the glue (ie: Acetone) will attack the eye.

This is what I did to clean off the eyes that were easily as bad as yours:

1: Running them under hot water to help soften the glue, I scraped off as much of the glue as possible with my thumbnail.

2: Using the wife’s nail polish remover (Acetone), I carefully removed the remainder of the glue.

This will attack the eye itself so you have to be quick and use the remover sparingly.

3: Then I used some plastic polish to restore the clarity of the eye itself.

White toothpaste would probably work.

I in fact used some Cerama Brite ceramic stove top cleaner.

(I was in the kitchen doing this)

These were the eyes in my A-17 that are in the pictures on this site.

@Fantastic Plastic Great method, as always. I'm personally gonna let these go to the great doll yard in the sky, but your description will save some owners from buying new ones.
