IMPL dolls Star, Model and Idol Discussion thread 15

Yep, they've given me an address to send an actual sample to. I need to go get one but that'll need to wait until Monday as today is grocery day, it's a 2km round trip (walking) and it's currently warmed up to -20C with the windchill. Brrrrrrr. The walk to the paint store is another 2km round trip in the opposite direction from the grocery store and I'm not into walking 4km in those temps today if I don't absolutely need to.

 

I'm so glad they are going to help you out @Iron_Dog , my faith in them was waining yet we've all been through a seriously bad 2 years. I'm kind of holding my breath and waiting for a new normal to get a foot hold!

@thedarkeststar13 wow, I love your take on Azalia. She looks like a different sculpt with those gorgeous lips! Your other girl is equally gorgeous

 

It has been a pretty rough 2 years for everybody. They're doing everything they can to get this right for me.

 

Oh my, what is her exact head circumference, if I may ask? Even though I'm no stranger to small SD/65cm heads, I still struggle putting 7-8in wigs on their noggins (they're an annoying in-betweener size), so Sicily easy taking that wig size is saying something. It makes me wonder if her lightbulb-headedness is as pronounced as my DF-H boy -- supposedly at 23cm, but with such small features that one of Granado's newer, larger heads (a little less than 23cm, but realistically proportioned) is actually bigger. I can imagine how annoying it must be to have such an enormous neck hole, too. Another doll of mine has a relatively meh side profile because the neck hole is visible from that view.

Also, looks like Impldoll is still on a roll with their paler-than-expected colors, eh? That's good that they're willing to fix the problem, but looks like sending color samples is the way to go if you don't want to end up with wash-outs. Until their Brown remains just a teeny touch above normal, I wouldn't be too keen on dropping dough for the darker colors.

 

Oh man, their brown is down the drain now? I'm bummed. Even if I send a color sample, I'm worried I will still get the wrong colors, and the colors I want are for the heads I got from them previously, so their own colors I'm just bummed about all this uncertainty and that my last body didn't fit my RS Plaice at all. I don't want to move forward with any other head due to this anxiety

 

They have a new colour mixer so I'd def say send a sample to them to make sure you get what you need. I'm going to be sending out my sample today. I'm sending a paint chip/swatch (SW 6746 153-C5 Julep; for those curious) that I got from my local Sherwin Williams paint store. Of course I'll post the results of that here.

 

Yah, I will When I get so far, thanks @Iron_Dog

 

Hey there been a while. I'm still on the hunt for a good body for my Narissa head. Is there a comparison thread of different bodies with a impldoll 64 or 70cm. I'm looking for something that is 65cm or shorter? The ones on my list are DF-H63cm, T&D 65cm, Soom Super Gem or Dika 65cm. If anyone has their Impdoll head on a different body that is 65cm or shorter I'd love to see them or if you can point me in the right direction of some good comparison photos. If you have any other suggestions please feel free to comment...though I've already tried April Story and it was a no. Thank in advance.

 

@Kitty Blue I have an Azalea on an older Doll Family A body-- it's about 62cm. There's a pic on the page before this one in this thread.

 

Are you looking for comparisons of the T&D 60cm or 65cm? I have another girl with the T&D 65cm, and I could swap bodies between my Bernice and that girl to get some comparison photos if you need them. Just let me know if this is the body you're looking for info on or not.

 

@Kitty Blue You can see photos of Impldoll Alma on the DF-H 63 cm body in the body review that I posted, linked here, hope this helps!

 

It was the 65cm but someone on FB posted a photo for me and yea that one is definitely out. Thanks though

 

Thank you so much she is gorgeous which skin tone is the Impldoll head it seems like it matches nicely

 

Guys. Could you help me, please. Some of you bought just a head from Impl.

How much did you pay for it? Were You quoted the head price + postage? Or was postage included in the price? I want to know their regular prices, not the ones they have during special events.

I do know it would be easier to ask them directly. But I don't want to bother them during New Year.

Thank you in advance.

 

@Swampruler I was told it would be 100 USD for the Ransom head I bought, and then after I gave them my address I was given the shipping price.

 

Thank You. I was wondering, if it would be cheaper to order directly or from taobao using a shopping agent.

 

The head is white resin that I heavily blushed to match the DF-H tan body. I also have a head in Impl real skin resin made in 2021 but it is much paler than the DF-H tan!

 

Cool I'll store that away for the future if I want to get any more SD dolls I really like the DF-H tan I'm sure the tanned color from Impldoll might be too dark but blushing Real skin might work. Thanks!

 

Has anyone put Nicolas (or Eclipse) on a Star body instead of Idol? I’ll probably shoot Impl a query about this on Facebook the next time I remember to log into that hellsite but figured I’d ask since he’s a fairly popular sculpt that many people have tried out different things with.

 

You could always try asking them on Instagram instead~ I've asked questions before and they've responded pretty well~
