Goo Goo Eyes

I've have a few Goo Goos and they changed the eyes at one point, but I don't know which one came first - I suspect the eye using the big headed brad was first.

Here are a few closeups of the eyes. I took some apart awhile ago to refinish them and don't have the parts with me. I can take a picture of the removed eye if you want, but I remember the eyes being almost completely round with a hole drilled thru with a counterbore for the brad head.

The first 2 pictures show the eye with the recessed brad head (black pupil).

Goo Goo Eyes part 2

Here are 2 pictures of the other Goo Goo eyes - solid plastic. I haven't taken any apart to refinish that have these eyes so I don't know what is below the wood. The eye diameter is 1cm.

The big Goo Goos and the Husky Dudes that I sanded down didn't have any weights in them.

I have a goo goo with one of the eyes missing. It's a pretty deep drilled hole. I will take a picture when I get a chance.
