IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

@Iron_Dog He looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing him!

 

Ooooh, I love his face, his jawline, if he's a boy?? Yummy!

 

Flickr refuses to act right for me, please excuse the links.

It’s literally perfect! Proportions are beautiful with no neck gaps and full range of motion.

 

@Holiday That is great hybriding, and I love Candice's face so I'm excited to see her complete.

 

Soooo now that Doll North is fully over I can share His Royal Punkiness here. I made the whole outfit by hand, except for the boots, wig and eyes. And guitar. Amps.

As do I! Big plans coming.

 

Awww yeahhhh another Candice! I love her so much, and am totally excited to see how you end up customizing her.

 

She looks beautiful and the skin tone should be easy to match

 

I'm tempted to sell my Delia. She's getting no love right now.

 

I feel you. I'm on the fence about my Davina-not a fan of the shrug, or her tiny head. But I'll give it a bit more time-she's only had two faceups and it usually takes me four to get a doll where I want it. She needs better eyes as well.

 

I decided it's better to splurge on a faceup before I try to sell her. She'd be a hard sell anyway, no one likes that size of lady. But I'm now excited to face her up to something more glamorous.

 

...except for the people in this thread, maybe?

 

I wonder how to restyle her so she's appealing again. I like the idea of tailoring more clothes

 

Oooo new thread! I've discovered that some "gym wear" style clothes (think stretchy sleeveless tops and baggy pants) for 70cm men can be worn by these big curvy gals. I recently got some from ACBJD for an Angell-Studio boy body (no special measurements needed) and they ended up fitting my newer MGB as well.

On a side note, I have to admit that my short-shoulder MGB (that needed to get modded to fix her perma-shrug) still doesn't appeal to me as much as the original wide-shoulder one (I still love that to pieces). :/ It's not so bad that I'm going to up and sell it, but adunno. She's a hybrid, and I'm kind of thinking of swapping out her head for another sculpt that may fit the proportions better.

 

I'm curious to see some of the gymwear on the bodies now. I don't have any gals who need gym clothes but I do have that big ol' beefcake who needs something to share with his harem.
I broke my sewing machine but was planning to do a bunch of sewing for my boys. They need fall/winter wear and I'm so excited to try sewing more. Dante's outfit turned out pretty great.

 

@A Wee Tiefling Here ya go:


Training Wear by Yela Gatchalian-David, on Flickr

Black knee-length pants: Pants, BJD Outfits - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls, BJD Accessories - Alice's Collections

Both were for the default 70cm size. The red sash was just repurposed from a preexisting outfit I've made. The pants kind of emphasize the pear shape of the MGB if you don't align her thigh joints properly, but it still looks fine imo.

 

Damn I love that look. It's so classy.

 

Hi~Halloween Limited Doll Sewall released.^^I hope you like him

 

Does anyone have a current IMPL tan doll? I'm trying to replace a body and I was hoping to find one affordably.

 

Wow it's so nice to see Malachite finally in his near-complete form!

The new dolls are looking so good I'm really excited and trying not to spend more.

 

does anyone own a lanny? i'd love to see some pictures of his sculp either blank or at least not with the promo face up

 

I haven't even received my first doll and I've already decided on my second and maybe third...!

Second will be Glenn - I love his smirk so much! Now the only problem is deciding whether to get him in pink or real skin. If Impldoll hadn't changed up their real skin the choice would have been simple. The old one is too yellow/dark for me.

I also worry that if I order him in the real skin and then they suddenly go back to the old darker real skin. Which I definitely don't want...

Sorry for rambling a bit. I've just been thinking about this so much lately and needed to share. I also haven't doll any friends or relatives yet about this hobby, so I have no one else to talk to about these problems.

 

@Enchiridion You'll have to be our first

@Brynja YISSSS, Glenn is so much fun! I follow a great Glenn on insta, he makes me so happy when they post pics.

 

I had to get a Sewall head! Can't wait to receive him!

 

does anyone have pictures of the impl's company face-ups? I'm soooo tempted to buy Eudora but I can't decide if I want to try doing their face-up myself

 

Might not be much help, but here's 2022 Tan (left) and Brown (right).

Spoiler

(link just in case)

Not the best pic, but here's Dabria in Brown with the default faceup. She's from this year. ^^


(link just in case)

 

thank you so much! she's beautiful!

 

I forgot how orange the tan was. Brown is too pale. Curse tan for being such a fickle resin to match!

 

I'm also going to mention that when LoongSoul used to offer tan as a standard option, the stability was really impressive. There was an unfortunate orange tan blip between 2 of my tan dolls that perfectly match, but the matching ones are about 4 years apart.

It kills me how light Impl's Brown has gotten, it almost looks like their old Real Skin

 

I suppose I could just blush to match. Curse tan for being so tricky! I was hoping a company with colour matching and a strong tan game would be the answer. Looks like I'll have to wait.

 

I’m going this route when I start what I’m affectionately calling my Colour Hell Order. It’s just bodies to match all my unmatchable heads (light blue, dark blue, obsidian and possibly teal?)

How long did it take for your swatches to reach impldoll? I’m not worried about them going missing, as much as I’m hoping to know when to write them off as missing and send more, because CanPost has been brutal lately.

 

Yep! I remember your 3 Ziv situation! I’m so glad they got the right colour on the end. 18 days isn’t terrible either—I’m shipping a doll to someone in China, and I paid just so much money for 6 day shipping with insurance, so I knew o couldn’t justify using ups for a couple of paint chips.

 

Not sure i've shared Cordelia here!

She's an Impldoll Zona with a faceup by pistachidoll on IG!
No body yet as i think i'll be making her a gorgeous bust to sit on and display my eyes that i create.
She's my first impldoll and they're so gorgeous, didn't realise how small their heads were though!

 

Quick question for any Star owners, would I be better off sticking to the 64cm body or paying extra for the MGB body? I love the idea of the shoulder shrug and the extra mobility, but is it a pain in ass in practice for like dressing and making look nice?

 

I constantly regret not getting the MGB body to be honest. Most of Impl's recent pics on Instagram are featuring MGB and it looks good to me in terms of aesthetics. I don't care much about the shoulder joint, but the neck and the extra hip joint add so much to posing.
Hope this helps you anyhow, let's see if there will be any comments from MGB owners.

 

I am very excited about the neck joint too tbh since the character I'm shelling loves to slouch. Your unboxing pics of your Sicily helped me decide that I really wanted that sculpt so thank you for them!

 

You're very welcome! I'm glad that I could help, and that there might be one more Sicily out there. She's my favorite sculpt ever

 

I admit, my plans are a different energy than your Sicily but I'm excited for her!

 

That's great, she can be super versatile. I'd love to see how your plans turn out. Kudos on your sculpt choice again haha
My Sicily is saying hi

 

Hello! I love the color choice of her clothes too, soft pink is a great color. I will make sure I post her lots dw

 

Thanks! Cool, see you around then

 

Hey all, I know there's a heap of past threads of impldoll discussions, but I'm looking for specific information and the DoA search function isn't the greatest...

Anyone have an Impldoll (female) star head on a body that's 60cm or shorter? I'm planning on shelling an OC but I have 2 problems with the Impldoll Star body: The first being that the body is way too curvy in the chest and hips for my OC. And the second is that I would *ideally* want her to be shorter.

I saw the great pics of the Candice head on the Dollshe body. I'm not particularly a fan of that body and I'd like to see if anyone else has put an Impldoll head on any other bodies? Thanks!

 

@Mainframe110
I have Delia on a Spiritdoll Proud body, she's very willowy compared to my muscle girl

 

That’s just a little too tall for me, but that’s a lovely body! Thanks for sharing!

 

I have an azelea head the shared a supia body, the original willowy small one, and I think she looked really good on it, I can try to see if I have old photos but all my dolls are packed up right now. That said I think the supia body worked so well because even though it is small it does have shoulders lol I’m not sure how other bodies would work in that scale, that said the idol heads are small and I think could fit on many bodies.

 

Wow, she's gorgeous!! Definitely going to take a look at this sculpt.

 

I also asked them if I could order a different outfit and they said yes so hopefully I will be able to soon order a Sicily with Eudora's outfit

 

I'm going to chime in to suggest that the issue is less head size (because Impl's recent sculpts are trending towards pinheaded) but the massive neck hole. I've got a Sicily head, her neck hole is all the way to her jawline and a very stretchy 7in wig fits just fine.
Personal hot take, big SD sized dolls should not have minifee-sized heads

 

Aaah I was looking at one of the Supia bodies! They’re gorgeous and I saw that the neck size is roughly the same measurement as Impldoll’s. The one thing I was worried about was the scale but it sounds like it was a good match! Thanks for the info! If you do happen to find a pic I’d love to see it

 

As someone who mostly has 1/4 dolls and one 72cm boy, it’s funny to me how it seems like the bigger dolls get after 60-65cm, the smaller their heads become? Like so many properly 1/3 dolls I’ve seen and have owned in the past have had HUGE heads, like 8/9 and even 9/10. But my 72cm boy has a 7/8 head and could very honestly look proportionate on a body that’s 10-15cm shorter.

I have found there are a handful of shorter bodies that have the same neck measurements (Doll Family H’s 58cm body is one I have in mind) but the question is if the hole in the head will match up with the neck. Questions, questions…
