Blue-Eyed Legolas actually kind of creeps me out...and yet I still want him.

Yeah, that now has me thinking about Jesse from Breaking Bad. On the show, he's been described as having really blue eyes but his pops are all solid black.

Part of the appeal for me was how strange they look with the eyes, almost alien like, or like they have been frozen in place like that. I'd be ok if they were normal looking too, but I have no issues with how any of them look as far as the eyes go. :D

It's my favorite part about the POP!'s. It's the trademark and if the eyes weren't solid black I would find them to not be unique and they'd come across as just a regular toy.

Personally pops with all red eyes scare me haha, reminds me of albino mice for some reason. So yes, my Flashpoint Bathman is a little creepy to me, he's lucky he's part of my batman collection.

Goofy's eyes are the worst of all pops, the eyelids were a mistake and the wrong color.

Well, I don't know exactly how, or when, this happened... but the black eyes don't bother me anymore. At all.

It was probably a gradual transition starting with the sunglasses wearing and the masked no-eyes ones like Halo, then to the eyes with pupils like GoT white walker, then to the white eyes like Ghost Rider, then to the round black eyes that were ok, like on the SW tusken raider. But somewhere around the Gammorean Guard and Chewbacca, I made the transition.

And now, well, they all look great.

I am so in trouble... :( lol

I think the black eyes are what give Pops so much of their unique charm!

However, certain exceptions (like the Hot Topic-exclusive Cordelia from American Horror Story with the white eyes) also work really well.

I guess it's kind of subjective, but for the most part, I couldn't be happier with their eyes. :)

The black eyes are fine to me, they give off a nice highlight in the light that adds to their cute-ness. Ones with white eyes are weird, since you can't see any sort of highlight, giving the feeling of empty-ness. That works fine for Walking Dead Walkers for example, since they are dead, etc... it doesn't work for some like GOOFY, who just looks off with the white eyes. Could have made him look a bit better by altering the face to make black eyes work... oh well. What's done is done

I like the black eyes. I think it adds a bit of whimsy to the Pops.
