    2. They come blank unless you want to pay for the face up. So you can get his head now for free except for shipping. Worth it right? That way if you don't know which skin color you want, you can see one in person before deciding.

    3. Oh, wow, I'm glad these guys are also Idol size. I have a feeling John and Mr. Martin will need to share a body for some time...... Impldoll has to be the most generous bjd company ever!

    4. oh definitely worth it in my opinion. i've always been drawn to john but not enough to pay the full price for him. this is a great opportunity to step outside the conventional sculpt zone and experience a vampire sculpt.
      i guess they wouldn't allow you to get both heads then right <.<

      i just emailed them about john!

      they also have one of the most incredible customer services. i mean, it's what makes me recommend them to everyone!!!!!

    5. oh definitely love this company <3
      John was on my wishlist since his release but I have no exact plans for him .... well I´m going to order him. Problem is the skin colour.... I want him in pink skin but Malik is in real skin.


      I also got my vikings era pattern book yesterday and looking forward to start sewing. But first another trip to the hospital and than christmas

    6. Congratulations on your upcoming John. Coincidently, we had these two cuties arrive today, and they're a pretty good comparison between real (little one), pink (big girl's body) and white (her head) skin.

    7. I want them all... Not really but I tend to like sooooo many sculpts that I am not sure at what point I say no more. I love the Deborah and John in all reality. Does anyone have a close up of Deborahs face? I will be moding her fangs out and I am wondering how big of a deal it will be.

    8. i hear you!!! i've been going a bit doll crazy lately... i've purchased 3 heads (3 from dollshe which means i'm officially broke!!!! i appreciate impldoll's sensible prices X___X and have lots of respect for dollshe but GAAAAHHHH) in the past month and it can't continue......but i dont want to miss this deal!!!!! i am still waiting to hear back from them! i bet they're super busy with emails now though...there will be lots of people wanting to take part.

      some Terra spam :) she's out of character again... casual and comfy. the Black Panther is Guen belongs to B Blink K on Flickr. i didn't really see her as a cat person...but she loves animals in general :D

    9. I need to get some clothes for my Dorisy.
      But I am so poor right now because of Christmas shopping...Lol.
      Ughhh!
       
    10. phew...after waiting for a while. My Martin FB event head just arrived in the mail. I tried him on all the large bodies I had, Idealian, EID, and Evol. The neck is too small for either Idealian or EID, but he is a PERFECT fit on the Evol body so I plan to get him a Evol body.
       
    11. Wow! Could we have pictures?
      Martin normally is on a Idol body, isn't he?
       
    12. I second that! I'd love to see Martin on an evol body!

    13. Size wise, he looks excellent to me! Thanks for sharing!
       
    14. @yuan_mdx , it does work brilliantly!
      Can the head move on the neck or does it stay stiff?
      I have a Karena head and though the neck size of the Twigling body is the same as the neck size of the star body, the Karena head cannot move and looks too small when it is on the chunkier Twigling body.
      I was very surprised to see how small the Karena head was, compared to the Chad head as well.

    15. @BlitheFool - no problem.
      @Lilla - I have no problem twisting the head around full circle. He can look up and down, all without gapping and actually holds any head pose I put him in.
       
    16. This is very good news! :dance

      @yuan_mdx , thanks!
       
    17. congrats on Martin @yuan_mdx !!! he dose look great size wise on the Evol

      has everyone else been waiting a while to hear back form Impldoll regarding the latest heads? i haven't heard back from them in a few days :/ i know they're busy, but just wondering how everyone else has been doing with the emails
       
    18. I got a respond after I paid but nothing after that mail
       
    19. They are having two parallel events right now...I really hope it won't be too much for them (though I did not place my order, as I really do not like this event doll).
       
    20. At the last event it was much the same - they seemed like they tried to take all the orders in a swift manner and then focus on making the dolls. As far as I know all of them did come up in an acceptable time frame (even for ones like me who didn't order the usual resin colors)

      I'm so in love with the Martin head I got in the previous FB event, and am glad to order more from Impldoll in the future! I'm already saving up for a Tony, but am also considering Alma! I love the company faceup B too. The only problem is to decide between the Star and the Idol body!

      In the best case scenario I'd love to have both to shell siblings, but... my wallet may disagree. Besides, one of them is already shelled (she'd be moving in to Alma, and the other sister would get the Elfdoll Hazy...)
       
    21. Yeah...that is pretty much what happened to me as well. I emailed them with all my info. They send paypal email. You pay. And then they scamper off to cast the heads. Nothing else happens until they announce something on their FB (like the heads are ready to be shipped out so please check mail, that kind of thing).
       
    22. @Uminari :/ i sent them all the information and they said they received it but they haven't sent me an invoice or anything :( yet. i dont know if they work on the weekends. i'm also not sure if i should email them again :/

      @Ipledreamer 2 events? you mean with the jozo doll and the heads? or is there one i've missed?
      i'm quite curious to try out a faceup on John.... just because of the mouth.

      @yuan_mdx they havn't charged my paypal yet...so i dont know whats happening :/

      @ronnie92 yes i'm quite fond of the quality of the dolls they offer. and i like the direction the sculpts are heading as well :)!
       
    23. Most of the places are closed on the weekends. If you have not got your invoice yet, you'll probably get it on Monday.
       
    24. i really hope so :) i could be disappointed to miss out on the john head!
       
    25. @MaryamDN: I mean the current Christmas event. And they are having their Facebook head right now.
      By the way - wasn't there shortly also a anniversary event? At which you could get tiny dolls to choose from for the last time? I think this is quite a lot...but they will handle it, I am sure.
       
    26. they seem to have done very well so far. i bought by Bernice during the last even that included one on their little dolls and i got Giden. they arrived about 2.5 months after the order which i think is very reasonable. i remember my Marcus also came with in around 2.5 - 3months and he was both limited and came with an event doll Kuka.
      i'm very impressed with their time management
      .
       
    27. Really digging that evol body for martin. Cant wait to get his body XD.
      Was tempted to get debora as well but her ears threw me off. Same with my friend XD. Plus I really dont need another flouting head for my hubby to scold me for XD
       
    28. New doll on Impl's website! NICOLAS! Not a fan of his face but I love his outfit especially the coat ^^
       
    29. Same. Deborah would be nice, but I can't be bothered with the modding that would ensue. Thankfully I don't have any floating heads (any more), though! The head is much more easy to display when you have at least somesort of a holder for it. Personally I can never get the heads to sit "straight", so had to get quite creative with the Martin I got from the previous event...

      Nicolas does look kind of interesting! He definitely has a lof of character. I'm not into the optional chest part, but they seem to offer the doll without it too... hmm... this one might have to be added to the "perhaps some day"-list..-
       
    30. ooh Nicolas is exciting. definitely not a fan of the chest piece either @ronnie92, but i'm totally into this realistic look. i LOVE the lips! <.< think they'll sell just his head?
       
    31. I have to agree that Nicolas have something and with some modding on his eyebrows I can imagine him in my crew. But well First I'm saving money for Azaela, Plaice and a body for John.
       
    32. that would be my only issue with him too. i don't really like the prominent frown....but the rest of him is quite handsome.
       
    33. The eyebrows definitely limit the characters that would suit the doll. I kind of like the grumpy face though. It also looks like the lips would be textured, which is nice. I wonder if the supermodel line is limited.... because if it is, I may have to reshuffle my doll plans a bit to get a shot with a plain white Nicholas.
       
    34. the lips are textured indeed ^_________^ that's why i love them so much!
      i find myself going back to the picture frequently <.< i can't tell if i like him enough to get the head or not!
      i did just pay for John though.....so i if want to get Nicolas's head, i should decide before they send john. decisions decisions!!!
       
    35. They said on the Facebook page that the head is $80
       
    36. <.< .....oh.....>.> well....i need that! DARN IT!!!!!!!!!!



      update...
      -_____- i caved in and ordered his head....^____^ my new year resolution failed before the new year even began!!!!someone introduce me to a psychologist please! i believe i need therapy for my addiction!

    37. We're a bunch of enablers, we should probably look into group therapy.
       
    38. HAHHHAAA! that's pretty true!! <.< i always wondered if DoA should have a a section called BJD-holics anonymous....then again, that would be almost all members -____-
       
    39. The new year hasn't started yet, so you haven't failed at anything! Just getting in your last hurrahs. ;)

    40. that is also a good point...^______^ you guys are just helping me justify my madness!!! to be honest the more i think about Nicolas, the more he grows on me.....i'm ridiculously excited about him and i'm almost positive he'll steal the spot light from John coming in the same box...hopefully :P

      by the way everyone! Impldoll just joined Instagram! (am i allowed to say that here!?) i love that they did!!! i hope they keep up with it.
       
    41. I really would like to see a pic of Nicolas blank...he seems very tempting.
       
    42. Me, too! The only reason for me (well next to no money) for not trying him are those eyebrows. But maybe they only apear that deep because the blushed the hell out of it. They should upload pictures of the blank head for every mold...
       
    43. Hey guys.
      So I got a LUTS SD Head and I was kind of wanting to use an Impldoll body for it (Since, let's face it, Impldoll is way more affordable than other SD bodies) and I was wondering what size body would be best. Especially keeping in mind that I want the neck to fit.

      Does anyone have any suggestions or LUTS/Impldoll hybrids?
       
    44. I asked Impldoll and Nicholas doesn't seem to be limited... whew. That means I can save up for Tony first, them either Nicholas or a female doll... or a poseable direwolf. Either way, saving up first.
       
    45. That's the loophole I've used... Which is how I've acquired the questionable habit of ordering at last a couple dolls in the last week of December:lol:

    46. Waah, I just can't stop looking at Nicolas. He looks so interesting and different. I am afraid he will find a way to sneek into my Avengers group...and into my heart.
      Ah, anyways, you can never have enough big, strong men in your house?
       
      • x 1
    47. Oh dear, Impldoll just sent me a pic of his blank head. Honestly, I am sold. I need him.

      And I asked them whether I am allowed to post his pic in a forum.
       
      • x 1
    48. I agree with uminari and Ipledreamer, Blank head pictures should be shown for every doll, also side view profiles. Front face only or slightly turned just does not give you the full picture. It would be great if ImplDoll would do this for us!
       
    49. X____X definitely not the Idol...i own one Luts winter event head...dismal. can't find a body in my lot so he has to go. wtv body you get will have to be less than 12cm at the neck i'm guessing.
      so you're getting him???? YAYA!!! :p i was hoping more people would get him so i would get to see more owner's pictures!!! can you show us the blank head too!?


      i'm afraid i will always find a loophole!!!! i have been better though, trying to only get heads now instead of bodies. it limits taking group photos but at least i'm not as badly in debt :/

      i saw that question! i'm really happy he's not limited as well! even tough i already went ahead and purchased him. he's such a cool sculpt!!! ^____^ dire wolf you say!!!! my Terra misses her friend quite a bit :(
      either way, you're smart...save first than buy... <.< unlike some of us...buy on credit card...then pay! X___X
       
    50. I am sorry, I seem not be able to post the blank head pic (I have asked Impldoll if I am allowed to, and they were okay with it). I have it only as a PDF. Can anybody help me? If not, please PM me so that I can email you the pic (I need your email-address). Or you could also ask Impldoll, they will send you the pic (if they are clever, they could post this on their website).

      And regarding getting him...I tried to talk myself out of him, but overnight he became a fully fleshed out character and integrated himself into my Avengers team. Grrr...bad guy.

      But it will be a while, as the two Idol bodies for Thor and Captain America have to come first.

    51. Aghhh that Nicholas... goddammit, I wasn't supposed to get any non-main-party dolls...
      I'll need to find a way to incorporate him in to the existing characters somehow.

      Then again, I seem to be accumulating a secundary crew of curious critters anyway, so it hardly seems like that desicion is keeping anyways. Dammit.
       
    52. Mind you, they always find ways to sneak in...I know by now there is simply no real control.
       
    53. O.O i knew he had potential!! I'm glad i ordered him too!!! very excited!

      thanks for the picture!!! he is very handsome ^______^ no regrets!
      and...yes i agree...no control....only a few days after ordering Nicolas Souldoll Oscal has caught my eyes!!! i'm trying very hard to resist and ask if they will sell just the head! he's a big one though with a neck girth of 15 cm...i might be able to talk myself out of it >.>

      well......if it makes you feel better, 99.9% of the time i buy the doll i like and then decide which character he will be...if any at all...sometimes they just end up developing their own character as they sit and watch me in my studio!
       
    54. Yep. I think I'll wait until the DC Cyril I ordered gets here and then see if I could make Nicholas their brother, or uncle or father... or something. A lot of it's going to get down to the faceup though. I usually have a rough idea where any new doll would fit (if they're related to someone, or are someone's friend and so on), but the specifics are formed only when I get the doll with me and see how they work.
       
    55. he does look like an older figure. i have been thinking quite a bit about where to fit him..... i honestly have no clue. to be honest i have only seen two heads that i have been able to see a character in right from the start. Iplehouse Rex, and Dollshe Grant.....which begs the question why i bought David before Grant <.< ? the honest truth is i have had no time to actually work on my own dolls. i need a break X___X which i refuse to take

    56. Another question: How does the 2-part Idol body work? I am particularly interested in the chest joint (which is the only real difference, I suppose?). I imagine Nicolas to be some kind of renaissance guy, so I want to look really good with bare chest.
       
    57. I like the bags under his eyes!
