      I think it's mostly the positioning and lack of highlights. The primary highlights in the top left (from our perspective) are positioned very high up and can get easily covered by the eyelids if viewed/photographed from above. That will leave one or both eyes look dark in those areas, giving a very gloomy look. (This is also something that likes to happen with Iori's default eyes.) The Melty eyes also don't have any proper highlights in the lower half of the eye. (In the above photo, the highlight at the bottom right is just a reflection of my ceiling light.) If the primary highlights get covered, and you don't have any extra catchlights (lights that reflect in the eyes) set up for your photo, the eyes will look kinda "dead". The fact that the eyes are very dark, by itself, is probably not the main issue. But the resulting lack of vibrant color in the eyes may also contribute to the eyes feeling a bit more dull.   That's a cute design and the primary highlight seems to be positioned low enough so it won't get covered easily. I don't think I've ever had doll eyes where I thought: "Oh, they're too bright!", but if your eye maker takes requests, you might as well try customizing them.   I personally find the Volks type I (and to a lesser extend type N) fairly serviceable in sumire. - And it looks like your Lydia is indeed on the type I?

      I had the same insert in my order from Volks Japan today too and I usually dont get any freebies like this from them.

      No, this was a few months ago, and I still have not heard anything about that.

      Our Volks order arrived today and the first thing we found was a beautiful foldout flier for 2B and Kaine. Kaine looks amazing and hopefully they will appear in the Volks stores this weekend. If anyone is unfamiliar with her then there are lots of hilarious YouTubes. I love the one where she eats some wild berries with no apparent adverse effects. Then her male companion eats some and falls over and is violently ill. Also she has a potty mouth. I don't know if she's the same in the Japanese version. The English voice over artists really went to town on this game.

      Thanks - I took this ages ago. It uses the doll sized studio lights we found on Amazon. They have different coloured gel filters. We should get them out again now the evenings are getting darker. As for TV watching tonight it's Towa, Shin Sato, Fumika and Hana's turn. Although they're rummaging around in the new Volks arrivals rather than watching much TV. 8 new pairs of shoes has got them all very excited.
