I have an 11cm obtisu with the parabox petie fairy head myself, and I am having similar troubles getting the eyes to fit, though i'm too scared to cut the vinyl, haha!
Thank you! I did not do Ismene's faceup, she was my very first Obitsu, already customized when I bougth her
The hair drier is really your best friend with these dolls, all sizes
(I had massive problems with K's new eyes, as these are 10cm and cannot be "parted" from their back part. For that head, I would buy 8mm in the future.
Amaya's eyes e.g. can be taken apart, these worked wonderfully, but the head is bigger on the inside. Granted, they were more expensive. One should shop quality...).
For the petite fairy, I found it best to take the back part off the eye (if possible). Work with long straight tweezer, always careful not to stab through either your fingers or the doll head >_< For any other head, one could always try eyes one size smaller, but the petite fairy already is on 6mm... warm the head before trying to wrestle the eyes in, and if you have an exacto knife, very VERY carefully cut small slits in the eye pockets (NEVER all the way down!), start small, you can always cut more, but never less. (However, one customizer cut the eye pockets out nearly completely and put the eyes with putty, but personally I would not be brave enough for that, on that smale scale. I would probably losee fingers. ^^" And the head might tear.)
Now you know why my litte Nieves, the petite fairy head, will probably never ever get new eyes
