These eyes are a lot smaller, I guess, but then the original's were
really big --- sort of "Village of the Damned"-esque. The wing spots
are bigger because otherwise they clash with the 'o's for eyes. And
Ali's right eye still looks funny if you look closely at it, but I
think it has close to the right shape from far away.
