how to remove a 98 furby’s eyes to replace eyelashes
** Please read the full tutorial before following it! DM me if you need help with anything**
this is how to take out a furby’s eyelids and eyes and replace their eyelashes. im pretty sure it’s the same or similar with furby babies, but I’ve only done it on my owl furby.
You’ll need to skin your furby and take off their shell, & there are lots of tutorials for that on YouTube or tumblr!
Once your furby’s shell is off, look at the back of their head. There should either be a screw visible or a piece of plastic covering it. You want to see the screw! If you don’t, put the batteries in your furby and take out the batteries when the screw is visible.
If your furby is nonworking, you can turn the same gear used for push starting until the plastic moves down.
This screw connects the black face frame to the “body” of the furby, and makes it possible to take out the eyes.
Next, you’ll need a thin object that can push out this rod. You could use a bobby pin, small screwdriver, paperclip, or anything else you have on hand.
Once you can grab the rod with your fingers, pull it out! It holds the eyes and eyelids in place. With babies, the eyes are separated, but adults are 1 piece.
Gently pull the black frame forward. Then, wriggle the eyes and eyelids out through the sides. This is Mildly difficult to do, and it takes some messing around with it to slide them out. Be careful and patient with this step!
You should now have the eyes & lids out and the furby is eyeless!
(don’t mind the paint and glue on the inside oof)
Now, you might still have eyelashes in the furby. You can pull them off pretty easily sometimes, but if they’re very stuck you can use an exacto knife to loosen the glue.
The ridge on the eyelid is where the original eyelashes are placed, which is helpful if you are putting the original eyelashes back.
You can use any plastic-safe glue to put the eyelashes back in place. Let it dry completely before assembling the furby again! You can also use store bought eyelashes and glue them the same way, but make sure to trim them to size.
