Don't you just a love it when a wiki text gives you infos about a character, the accompanying photo
does not support? Nevermind that this pic looks like fanart, anyway...

Yeah, those eyes don’t look blue to me.

Though, I’m in one fandom where there’s a question over a character’s eye color because the mangaka has drawn them with various shades of brown and hazel. I fanwank it all away with contact lenses.

It would make sense for this chara, too, to wear lenses. I understand when this happens with actors and different lightning, quality or maybe forgetting to wear their lenses, but in manga/anime? *lol*

Though I don't really mind. It's just funny when it happens on a knowledge base.

Nein. Sie hat braune Augen. Mindestens in der Manga. ;) Sieh mal hier, hier, und hier an - nicht dunkelbraun, aber vielleict haselnussbraun?

Aber es ist ganz richtig, dass keine Version grüne Augen hat...

Dein Deutsch ist doch klasse! ^^

I had to check - the tiny figure I own has brown eyes. (Because I only remembered her blue-eyed *lol*). Maybe there's need for a contact lense theory, too... Is there a reason given for the colour change? I love black hair with blue eyes. *pouts*

The reason I heard is simply that when Robin first appeared in the anime, Oda hadn't done any coloured pics with her in them yet, and the anime team just went with blue for her eyes. Then the cover for volume 24 came out with light-brown eyes - evidently that's how Oda had pictured her all along?

Since I didn't see any anime episode until I was deep into Water 7, I always pictured her with light brown eyes as on that cover, so to me the anime eyes feel just a bit off and "wrong" for her, even though I agree that objectively they're quite pretty. I guess we're always tempted to feel whatever version we first encountered is the "right" one! :)

Oh, so the figure makers go with manga colours? Huh. That's interesting.

Hm. That's bad someone should have asked the artist beforehand. Or maybe they should have changed the eye colour later on...

I saw her first with blue eyes in the anime, actualy. I'd like the idea of an eye change blue when she was "evil" and with Crocodile, light brown after she met Luffy and turned into a friendlier woman. (She's still evil, when I think of the scene with Franky. *lol* What a welcome.) Not that it matters, I mostly read the mangas which are b/w anyway.

I guess it depends on the manufacturer - there are a lot of blue eyed dolls out there... but this one has brown eyes. It is a tiny 13cm sized doll licensed by Toei, I think.

However, the Strong World one by Megahouse has brown eyes, too.

The kid version and some others have blue eyes.
