Eye World: Chew's Yellow eye dish

[Cirrusx3]

Looking to replicate based on this off the shelf item at your local plastics store. Getting a prosthetic glass eye should be easy enough.

Anyone want to Post/create/add the graphics?

Thats really cool, my eyes are always drawn to that in that scene and have always wondered if it came from a genuine product.
Maybe you could try a Chinese printing firm, local not Chna, and they could do some adhesive lables.

I remember seing those years ago, but not in many years. Like Fred I have been looking for a source as well for a long time now. Great find. Now we just need to get some eyes to go with it.

I used to see these containers all the time when I was a kid. They were sold as basic storage containers. Being styrene, they broke pretty easy so im guessing the more flexible plastic solutions replaced them.

Last December, while visiting NYC in Tribecca, I ran across a store called Plastic world. They had them in all sizes and colors. Then, a light bulb went off, being that this is a general plastics store, the chances of them being everywhere are great. As it turns out, I was right. My local plastic store called Tapp Plastics had them online to order. I went to the store to confirm the colors and sizes. Mine is the biggest they make in that color and looks to be 100% accurate. You may say, oh, but the color is off, right? Well, when you get one, put it in the freezer for a spell then remove it to room temperature. The frost gives it that slightly opaque, brighter color. Pretty cool little prop actually!!
Lastly, a Chinese friend translated the main symbol as "forever". I wonder if Ridley was messing with us here too

Cool find. I always think of that scene when I go to the Container Store and see one of those on the shelves. Now you just need a sheep's eye from the butcher and you're good to go
