1. The amount of eyelid that shows when Blythe’s eyes are open is determined by where the back of the lid rests on the “catch” built into the coupling inside her head.Here it is shown in its fully sprung-open position.
2. Here is the eye mechanism out of the head. The arrow points to the area that needs to be re-shaped to allow the eyelids to open farther.
3. carefully whittle out a tiny cube of plastic with a sharp X-acto knife in the area shown. Take off equal amounts from each side of the lid mechanism. it only takes about 1mm. put it back into the head without the eyeballs and pull the lids up with your finger to check until you are satisfied with the amount of lid satisfied.work in small increments. you can always remove a little more plastic, but putting it back is more difficult.
4. On the later EBL girls,you will find these posts inside the back of their head. these rods also serve to catch the eyelids and prevent them from opening all the way. To get these girls boggled, you will have to remove material from these posts where it is marked in the picture.
