Hades, my impldoll Chad in custom grey!

Apr 18, 2015

    1. Having been stalking impldoll for the past one year, I finally caved in an made an order for one of their newly introduced idol boys, Chad! I immediately fell in love with the special head once I saw the promo photos and knew I had to get my hands on him. He was to be my first fanatasy themed doll, and I never felt so compeled to get a fantasy one till I saw him. And I have to say he's worth every single penny now that he has arrived and dare I say he's the handsomest doll I've ever come across! Those manly features of his even blank are just too striking for me and I can't help but stare at him all day long.

      I ordered him in a custom grey color which I know many have been interested to see him in. I particulary asked them to produce him in dollshe's titanium grey colour. When he arrived though, he wasn't as dark a grey as I expected him to be, but the more I looked at him, the more perfect the shade of grey he arrived in seemed to me. So no regrets here! A shoutout to those who want to get a custom color matching body from impldoll though, I would recommend sending them a headcap or a sample piece of the color that you want so that you won't be disappointed :)

      I ordered him during an event and instead of picking a 1/4 doll for free which the event was entitled to, I picked out the 1/6 Ives which is also a sculpt that was very much needed in my family and I'm truely happy I went ahead with the order! Enough blabbering and on to the photos ahead! Enjoyyyyy!!

      The first box opening of the year!

      Oh am I in love with the box! I believe all idol bodies/sculpts at least will be shipped in a box now instead of a carrier bag. And I believe I'm the first one to have received an impldoll order in a box.

      Very nicely arranged foam box of goodies!

      I especially love the poster and the emblem on his COA card!

      And under all that goodies, is Hades! With little Hoglet (impldoll ives) tucked in a lil corner there. I'm not sure if they placed his arms in such a way but his arms ended up tucked underneath his torso.

      And here's hoglet all freed from his airbag! I ordered him in real skin, and he's such an exquisite poser! Being my first yosd, I'm very impressed by his size and how well he can hold his poses. I found it really funny that he has a weenie though as I thought most yosds would be genderless :wiggle

      Hades! He came in perfect condition except for a few staining on his hands and thigh. Nothing that can't be fixed with a magic eraser of course. But just look at this magnificent hunk of resin.

      A closeup of the magnificent details on his face. Isn't he just gorgeous!?

      By this time, my camera battery died so that was about the end of the photoshoot haha. Note to self: Always charge the damn camera.
      I do not have any clothes for him yet, but I plan on getting him the new sculpt, Tank's clothes for him
      I then decided to try on the eyes that I got for him, which turned out to be too small for the eye wells but the color at least fits him well!

      Taken with my handy dandy hp. The eyes somehow is giving him a slightly softer look than I expected though, so I need to scourge for alternatives soon!

      Thanks for reading through and I hope you find him as glorious as I do! I have many huge plans for him and the little one and can't wait to see them completed :dance
       
    2. Oooh, he looks fantastic in the grey skin. I agree those eyes give him a thoughtful expression rather than a fierce one. Maybe red would be better, or cold blue?
      I think impldoll must have been fed up of the number of broken doll parts because of sending with the carrier case, but I'm glad I have one of those as it makes transporting dolls much easier. This box looks much sturdier though. Congratulations on your new imps - can't wait to see them both finished
       
    3. Wow, he looks amazing! Congratulations!. Are you doing his faceup or are you sending him to someone else?
       
    4. Haha, impldoll did in fact quote that they're using boxes now to prevent fingers from breaking easily. And yea I am on a search for more appropriate eyes for him. Thanks!
       
    5. I will be sending him to someone else hehe. Thanks!
       
    6. Wow! Chad is an incredible sculpt, and the grey really does look perfect. Congrats on getting him!
       
    7. Wooow he's awesome!! Congrats :3
       
    8. Congratulations! He looks great blank and the color is amazing. He is perfect!
       
    9. He's absolutely gorgeous!! I agree with [MENTION=34299]Ishtar[/MENTION] if you want him more fierce red would be my first choice. Maybe something with a black base for the eye?
      I can't wait to see what becomes of him <3
       
    10. He's incredible. Congrats! Your pictures are great. Thanks for sharing them. I have him on layaway from DDE and can't wait to get him. I was going to get him outright, but while going through the event gifts I found another one I wanted to buy, so did layaway to save a bit on shipping rather than place another order in a month or so. Looking at your pics makes me wish I'd gone ahead and just got him. He's really beautiful. I also ordered him in grey. I had a hard time deciding on the color, I like tan too, but looking at your pics I think grey was a good choice. I ordered mine with scar body and was thinking a solid color for the eyes.

      I look forward to see what you do with both. They look like they pose well.
       
    11. Congrats! He is so gorgeous!
       
    12. Oh... WOW! He is amazing! He don't need no stinking faceup! *L* Seriously, he's more gorgeous that I expected. And he looks perfectly balanced on that body! Which makes me believe he will not work on the DZ body I had planned and I may have to just have a full doll of him. Crud. But I did want an Idol boy, so--

      Dang, he is just... dang! And yeah, weird that the eyes would soften him so, but I agree with you. Maybe odd-sized eyes such as 13mm, more white and less iris. He's very realistic looking! Amazing shade of gray. So it's not standard but custom?
       
    13. Thanks! Yes he is perfectly gorgeous!

      Thank you!
      Thank you! I 100% agree!
      Thankies!
       
    14. I'm not really a fan of the black base eyes actually. I was thinking of getting eyes with a smaller iris with a large white base that would fit the eye wells. But I would take your idea into consideration. Thank you!
       
    15. Yay another grey Chad owner! My Chad is in a custom grey colour though. Yours is in the standard grey colour right? I really would like to do a comparison with the standard grey colour and see how much darker my Hades is, haha. Which event gift did you get?
       
    16. Yes! I was thinking of getting some eyes from eyeco as they have 13mm ones with more white in it. And yes he is a custom grey colour. The half body shot of him is how he actually looks like in natural lighting. But his shade of grey is actually a very good shade to play around with during editing, when I take photos.
      I don't think the DZ body would look proportionate with his head, because his head is rather large, what with the ears and carved hair. But you could always test it out and let us know how your hybrid goes :)
      And he really is perfect already without a faceup but I'm gonna give it a shot to see how he would look like with a faceup.
       
    17. Ooooh!! His sculpt looked gorgeous! And the resin colour is nice too. Congrats!
       
    18. It's so great to see owner pictures of this sculpt! I fell a little for him when I saw him on the impldoll site, and I must say seeing your gorgeous guy makes him all the more tempting xD

      Congratulations, he's amazing! <3
       
    19. Congratulations! What an amazingly detailed head. I'm so impressed with Impldoll's sculptor lately. They've been turning out so many realistic, gorgeous sculpts! And I love the shade of gray you got him in.
       
    20. What a Hunk! :D I would save up for one, but he looks HUGE!! Haha! Big congrats on the arrival of your two new resin buddies!
       

    21. Thanks! Yay for Chad!

      Yes you should get him! Get him before he gets sold out!

      Thanks! Finally decided that the shade he came in is the perfect shade of grey I could ask for :) Can't wait to see some of the newer sculpts that they will be releasing soon!
       
    22. I love his size actually! I've only gotten attached to the big boys so far which is why my resin family only consists of boys from 60-72cm. And a special edition would by my event gift, Hoglet who is the only yosd in the family.
      Try out having the big hunks in your resin family some day ;)
       
    23. That head sculpt detail makes me breathes. I love the amount of head detail. And you also got that funny smiling Yosd. He's adorable. I can't wait to see what kind of photos you'll make of him :)
       
    24. Yay! You should get him someday too! Thank you!
       
    25. That would be nice, but I have to just leave it to others to own him and admire the doll that way XD I've myself got too many other doll plans already :sweat
       
    26. What a gorgeous grey color! congratuations :3
      It's really great to more of that sculpt, it's uncommon so I really hope I'll be seeing more pictures of him someday.
       
    27. Ooooh. He's quite something! I really like him in grey. Those eyes look nice as well- even with a gap!
       
    28. I think I'm the first one to have received Chad so maybe thats why he is still uncommon for now. But I forsee an army of Chad box openings soon ^^
       
    29. Aww thank you! To be brutally honest, I am very much addicted to him right now and I can't even bring myself to ship his head out for a faceup when I am supposed to :B
       
    30. He's gorgeous! I can't wait to see him w/ a face-up. The skin tone really brings out his eyes :D
       
    31. wow! so cool! actually seeing an owner photo makes me can't wait to get my chad.
       
    32. Yes, I ordered the standard grey. I imagine mine will be a bit different than yours. I'm new to the hobby and it didn't even occur to me to think about asking for a custom color on this guy. I've heard about people doing that, like you, but wouldn't even know what to ask for unless it's a complete different color. I have such a hard time reading resin colors online. I'm actually embarrassed over how long I agonize about resin color before ordering. ha

      I chose Moon in white for my event gift. I just thought her face was really sweet. I also ordered Adela in white. I didn't get any kind of face up or body blushing on any of the dolls.
       
    33. Yes it does! I hope to get him a more fitted but similar color of eyes soon ^^
       
    34. Nice!! Which resin color did you get him in?
       
    35. Aww thats alright! Everyone goes through that phase when they're just starting out! But at least you made a huge order with impldoll already! So congrats on that! Be sure to spam pics of your kids when they arrive!
      Moon is a lovely sculpt so great choice there! ^^
       
    36. Wow! Look at all the fine detail! Thank you for sharing with us. I'm glad they changed to the box.
       
    37. Thank you! The box sure is a more sturdier option to switch to :)
       
    38. Congratulation! He is gorgeous! He have so sexy body :love I think I like sculpt of impldoll ^^
       
    39. He's amazing! I think this box opening is probably better marketing for the sculpt than Impldoll's actual pics, haha.
       
    40. Wow, what an interesting sculpt! Its really cool how they like sculpted hair on him. Such a stunning guy!
       
    41. YES! Jump aboard the impldoll craze! Their sculpts are getting much better recently, and their prices are SO reasonable :)
      Haha! I guess you can call me an avid fan of impldoll, but your comment honestly made me grin in happiness ;)
      He's really unique isn't he!? So in love with him :B
       
    42. uv resistant tan
       
    43. Woooo he is amazing! Congrats!
       
    44. He looks amazing!:D
       
    45. I love his beard! congrats!
       
    46. Sharosudo, please post your box opening too!! I really wanna see that color!
       
    47. Thank you all! Just sent him out for a faceup and will be posting photos of his revamped look once he arrives :)
