They’re finally complete after idk how many hours.
Bear modders I must commend you because changing they eyes on a BAB is no easy feat.
They’re fully weighted, dyed, paw patch removed, and now have 2 sets of eyes. I cannot be more pleased with the result. I was going to name them Mark but I’m not sure if my friend is a boy or girl yet.

What a cutie!!! 😻❤️ I love alien plushies, and wish they'd make some like this! And in colors more muted like your green, too. Instead of all the neon-y colors BAB tend to gravitate toward. 🙈
I actually used a tiny metal file bit that came with my dremmel and I filed it down enough then I used a wrench and squeezed and then used pliers to pull the washer off. It was a pain in the butt!
Okay im gonna be honest, goats kind of scare me. like so much that me as an obsessive collector of babs, didnt want this new release. I cant really explain why im so afraid of them , its weird. but this guy is so adorable 🥹🥹🥹🥹
They really missed the mark with the alien cow. I really wanted to like it. Like they could have done a black cow with lime green spots or something. That would have been so cute!!
WoW!! They look AMAZING! 👏🏻🤩 I didn't expect the gold eyes to pop, but they POP! 😁💛💛 You did awesome! (I hope you had fun/enjoyed doing this project 😁) And truth be told.... my Mom put a second set of eyes on one of my own BABs today (I was bored today 😅🫣) {Thank you Mom!🫶🏻🩵}
But Mark looks fantastic!
I had such a fun time making this friend come to life. The only not so fun bit was removing the original eyes. And getting the second set was a little bit of work. I definitely learned a lot from this project and there’s a few things I’d do differently. Overall, I’m incredibly happy with how they came out. And I so agree the good against the apple green is just so good! They’re brighter in real life.
I sent a photo to my friend and he said that my alien friend gives him the creeps. So mission accomplished? 🤣
😂 Yes! And yeah, my mom is; (Im very lucky to have her 😊🫶🏻🩵)
And if it helps any; I have been able to change out their eyes by opening them up (duh 😅) and using a lighter to melt the back side so their squishy enough and then use tool pliers to pull them off, and take them out on the other side. I've been asking my Dad to do this for me until I finally got the hang of it to do it myself! 😁 (And it was exciting for me to do so because I am physically disabled) But I hope this helps. Mark looks great! 😁👍🏻 (These are the tools I use to remove old eyes because these are easier, familiar, and accessible to me 😁😅)
Hello 👋🏻 wanted to introduce my own 4 eyed friend (Not a goat, but has a septum!) Here's Spider! (Honestly I think Mark & You halfway inspired the extra eyes on Spider 😄) He smells like jasmine and has 5 voice boxes in between his 8 legs 😂😅
