Welcome Home Queen Ursa :: Impldoll Moira in dark tan

Jun 14, 2025

    1. I ordered the Impldoll Moira on the new 63cm slim muscle bod with medium chest in dark tan back on April 8th, 2025 from Alice's Collections, and she shipped about exactly on the 2 month mark, arriving on June 12th, 2025.

      She's meant to be a reshell for one of my other dolls, and wow, does she suit the character way better than my previous doll!!

      But without further ado, onto the box opening pictures!

      [​IMG]
      First thing first, the box plus the things I'm gonna put on her (the shoes I wasn't sure which ones would fit better)

      [​IMG]
      Tried to reveal the company box within the box, but my cat had other ideas (paying the cat tax right away!)...

      [​IMG]
      Finally got the cat into the shipping box so I could get the doll box out

      [​IMG]
      Removed the outside cover and the white foam covering to reveal a few extras I ordered as I qualified for the event back then, the boots are for another doll.

      [​IMG]
      I did order her with an extra set of hands, and high heeled feet, but the ballet feet were a surprise! Here I was already vibrating with anticipation seeing the beautiful dark tan of the extra parts...

      [​IMG]
      First look at the face and torso! I got her on the new 63cm Slim Muscle body

      [​IMG]
      This picture is more accurate to her actual color, it's a very dark and rich color! A bit of a purple tinged dark brown, with amazingly no seamlines or sanding marks!

      [​IMG]
      She stands! Her ankles are a bit slippery, so getting her to stand was a challenge. I will suede them though and that will fix that issue easily enough. But gods is she pretty already.

      [​IMG]
      And dressed and wigged!! I am so glad she fits into the Iplehouse SID dress I had the old shell dressed in. It truly fits her like a glove. For shoes I gave her the white and black ones, the purple ones were too stretched by her previous shell...

      [​IMG]
      She didn't come with eyes, so I gave her a spare 12mm pair I had made a month ago. I will make her some other eyes in the same color, but with human pupils.

      [​IMG]
      And here she is painted! Working on such dark resin is always a fun challenge, and I really love how she looks now. Her old shell was an Iplehouse Camilla in peach gold, but she was just simply way too pale colored. I did keep her though and will try and get a pic of the two later.

      Thanks for looking!

    2. Ooh she's pretty!! What sealant did you use for her faceup? I've heard MSC doesn't do well on darker colors like this, but her faceup looks gorgeous!

    3. Thank you so much!! And I used MSC UV Cut Matt! I did quite a few layers, but there isn't much difference between the sealed head and unsealed head cap.

      [​IMG]
      See what I mean? Honestly, I think if I got a can of semi-gloss from MSC and sprayed a very light layer of it it would lift the ghosting that there is. It doesn't bother me though since she's got a wig anyway!

    4. She's really beautiful and I love her face-up. I just reshelled a character myself, one Impldoll to another, shorter one.

    5. Impldoll's dark tan is truly such a beautiful, rich color. I was amazed when I saw it for the first time, too. She looks amazing! I especially love the inner corner eyeliner on her faceup.

    6. Wow, what an absolutely stunning doll! Congrats and you did such a good job with the faceup too!!
      Looking forward to seeing more photos sometime!

    7. Ohhh, how gorgeous! I love her outfit, and you did a fantastic job on the faceup! That skin color is perfection.

    8. Thank you! I've reshelled several dolls over the years too. Which doll did you go from and to which one?
      Thank you! Impldoll just updated their dark tan recently, I think it's darker than it used to be. She might even be darker than my Loongsoul Black Dragon in french brown!
      Thank you so much!! I will share her more for sure! She's currently my desk buddy, haha
      Thank you! I'm over the moon with her!!

    9. The character was a Davina in Normal Pink. The reshelling happened entirely by accident, at a meet. I had purchased the new model body in realskin for a Butterfly Swallowtail head I had. I brought her to the meet to show a friend the body. Said friend had an Impldoll Jerry in realskin she just wasn't happy with. Quite honestly, the head looked ridiculous on the 70 cm body, the face was way too small and had a girly faceup. I suddenly had an idea and put it on the model body. Voila! The scale was better. I had to file back the huge neck flange, silicone the head and make some minor adjustments to the faceup, but she turned out wonderful! A better size for the character and a color I liked better.

    12. Moira is my favorite Impldoll sculpt and she looks GORGEOUS with the newer darker resin. I'm glad you were able to find a new doll that suited your character so beautifully.

    13. Thank you so much! Moira is such a gorgeous sculpt, I’m glad I sprung for her after all to reshell my character! The dark tan is to die for
       
    14. fantastic

    15. Oh, Iza, she's gorgeous ! :love Impldoll's dark tan is such a beautiful color and she's got a lovely sculpt <3 The slim muscle body looks really great, too. Since it's been a while that you've had her now, what do you think of the body, other than the slippery ankles?

    16. Thank you! I’m so glad I got her after all, especially because this sculpt looks great in Impldoll’s dark tan.
      The body is good I’d say! I sueded her ankles, so now she stands solid and her arms have a really good range of motion. She can sit back on her legs with her knees bent, but she’s at an angle due to the shorter length of her knee peanuts, so some posability was scarified for aesthetics, but it’s all good. I do enjoy how easy it is to change he hands and feet, they both got the easy-change system feature. The color is still just as rich as when she arrived in the summer.
      Is there anything specific you’d like for me to check? I can compare the body to others in my collection if you want, just let me know!

    18. Woahh this is such a gorgeous doll! Her painting, outfit, hair, everything is flawless. I have to look into this dollmaker now bc she is probably the most beautiful doll I've seen since getting back into the hobby.

    19. Thank you! I’m so happy I went for her after all, she suits the OC perfectly
      Thank you!! Impldoll has been on fire lately! I originally passed over this doll when the body was released and shown I with a paler skin tone with the head, but then I saw an owner picture oh her in dark tan and I was hooked. So I ended up ordering her to reshell from a different doll of mine. I’m currently waiting on an Impldoll Sini (also in dark tan) on the new 1/3 plump body (I have the 1/4 version already at home) and I’m excited as she’s ready to ship!

      if you’d like to see more pics of my Moira just let me know! I did a gorgeous photo shoot of her in the summer in a bamboo garden.

    20. I'd absolutely love to see more pics, she is so beautiful! Summertime in a bamboo garden sounds so lovely.

      When I first got into this hobby there weren't many (if any??) darker skin dolls available so seeing her now makes me so happy! I'd also love to know where her hair is from (if it isn't custom made ofc).

      I'm just blown away by how pretty she is overall just woahh Impldoll has my attention now.

    21. Here's the link to my flickr album to the photos!

      Yeah, I was really excited by how dark Impldoll's dark tan is! I do have a few other dolls in tan from other companies, but my Moira is the darkest. She's even darker than my Loongsoul Black Dragon in french brown (a very dark tan).

      I need to take more pics of her. I've made her new eyes that have round pupils, which makes her look perfect.

      [​IMG]
      She is just such a breath taking model!

      Edit: The wig is from ZaZou Custom Dolls on Etsy, it's in the Smart Doll size of 8.5in. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ZaZouCustomDolls?ref=shop_sugg_market&section_id=21314989
