IMPL dolls Star, Model and Idol Discussion thread 15

I ffinally finished my layaway. Now I just have to ait for the dolls to actually be made.

 

@Meowjima refresh my memory, what did you get? I'm sure they've started already

 

Azalea in dark tan, and an Aurora head in grey.

 

Ah, lovely, @Meowjima , I have a Lydia in grey and added elf ears too her so she cann be my Night elf. I still need to make her costume though and I absolutely love my Azalea!! I hope you'll share pictures!

 

@Meowjima Ooooo, Azalea is such a cute sculpt. I can't wait to see pics.

 

Well, I bought a Filraen on a SGB off the market place. I'm hoping the body will end up matching Plaice, but if not, Filraen gets to keep it I guess, LOL. So I'll have my first non-FGB to see what it's like??

 

Speaking of the SGB, does anyone know what the upper arm circumference is? On the TGB, it is around 13.5cm.

 

@Silver_Unicorn297 I think??? they are the same size arms as FGB, and if that's the case, I get about 12cm upper arm at widest point.

 

@IngieBee Thank you so much! Yes, I believe that the arms are exactly the same as the FGB. 12cm is still pretty buff...

I'm just still debating if I really want to hybrid the TGB chest onto the SGB body to get the super buff upper torso, so this helps a lot. The TGB shoulders are the same width as the SGB, but the bigger arms might make the Granado head I'll be using look smaller via illusion. If that ends up being the case, I'll just stick with the SGB body without hybriding. The broader shoulders should still give me the look I want.

 

Well, taking the circumference, the difference in diameter should be 4.3 vs 3.8 so 0.5cm difference. Actually, that's quite significant, I'm shocked, LOL, TGB must really be buff

Also, I just watched this video and it was really informative:

 

@IngieBee oo I love comparison videos, thank you for sharing!

 

@IngieBee Damn, that video makes me want to spring for body blushing for Massi. Not that he'll be nude often...well he would be if I continue to not find clothes in his size.

 

@IngieBee @A Wee Tiefling

That's what the body blushing looks like? Realistic body hair? Impldoll continues to impress me if that's the case.

 

@IngieBee Thank you for the video! I was actually just looking at it. From those angles, the arms looks to be so similar... but you have a point about the arm diameter. Maybe I can just get the TGB and sand his butt down XD I sanded my Beast Chad's resin hair down so he can wear wigs, so this mod should be easy.

From what I understand, the Iplehouse EID clothing fits the SGB and FGB, but you need to go for the bigger superhero size for the TGB body. Comparing measurements helps, as does asking the seller. (Clover Singing has been super helpful there).

Soom ID75 has similar measurements, but I think the butt is way smaller, even compared to the FGB and SGB. The feet are much smaller, so you'll need bigger shoes.

 

Yah, the shoes got me, I bought some once, I think they were SD17 or something, and they were too small. However, they did fit my Impl Star boy body, so it was fine. Dylan has a nice shoe collection, LOL But my Eclipse has EID pants from SartoriaJ on, and they fit perfectly

 

Wow @IngieBee thanks so much for the video! I bought my body secondhand and the seller never knew which model or body it was. Going through the body parts with the video I have identified it finally as a TGB body. It’s still different because it is a color matched doll (I had to change the head to match it) but now I can finally follow discussions about clothes, etc. here knowing which body I own!

 

@Meowjima Oh that's not Impl's blushing, that's the owner! I imagine Impl's blushing is a bit more tame and less manly.

@Silver_Unicorn297 Finding shoes has been the bane of my life! I only have the one Idol man but he's a divo who demands clothes and shoes I simply can't afford. I've put EID clothes on Massi and he's a FGB. The pants are a bit loose but the shirts are delightfully snug. I also managed to find one oversized sweater from Alice Collections that fit him - barely. Butt sanding is the new summer body challenge all the Idols do it.

 

Shoes... Bane of my dolling life, too. So many of my boys are barefoot because of failed purchases or simply not having the style they'd wear readily available in their size (only 2 of my guys wear modern shoes).

 

Awesome, I'm afraid it's still hard to find clothes for these big boys although I had some luck at acbjd with ordering custom size (I gave them as complete a measurement list, including pictures of exactly where I measured) and some not so successful, so it's hard The not so successful was a shirt that was too tight and not finished (they didn't make the button holes), so I assume it was rushed? Everything else fit well though. So far they haven't charged me extra and there are a lot of outfits that can be custom ordered

FYI these are the boots I got that fit. You need to get the "big" pair. Despite being 11.5 on the inside, they look great and fit securely because they are boots. With that in mind and knowing their feet are 9.5 cm long, I am pretty sure these will fit because their measuring system shoes interior dimensions:

Patent "leather" dress shoes
black brown or white buckle shoes for 70cm dolls
These buckle and tie shoes for 70cm dolls
and these buckle shoes for 70cm dolls

I got these and these but they were too small for the Idol doll, yet they fit the Star doll They're only 9.0 interior dimension and the idol feet are 9.5. Star boys are about 8 x 3 and these boots slip on easily, but not too lose

So if the inner length says 9.5 by 3.5 they "should" be a perfect fit. You probably can't use thick socks though and if any socks, it'd have to be stocking thin :P Boots are sized really large at 11.5 still fit well, because the foot is held in place well in the boots and the size doesn't make them look like bozo the clown at all as our boys are big. So all the big boots will work well IMHO.

Now I'm basing the fit on my experience with my Iplehouse FID boys who have the same size foot measurement as their shoes that were sized via interior measurements. But I believe I got my shoes for them off ebay or etsy. The company gave interior measurements too, which is what I went off of. They are a snug fit, like I said above, I'd have to get them super thin socks or have them wear no socks (I'm lazy and doubt I'd get socks for them...ever, LOL.)

Anyways, I plan on getting some of these shoes for my idol, and then we'll all know for sure if they fit! I just need to save up a bit :P

 

Thanks @IngieBee for all the information!

I have been using EID size clothes and shoes so far since I have a model EID and I have been successful. Look forward to hearing more in the future.
