IMPL dolls Star, Model and Idol Discussion thread 15

I don’t think I’ve ever posted my second Impldoll girl here. This is my Alma, named Tritonia. She’s based on the character I played in a game called Anima:Beyond Fantasy. Wasn’t fond of the game and it didn’t end well, but I was very attached to my character.

 

@Shawir She is beautiful! And I love her dress!

 

She's gorgeous!

 

Beautiful girl, @Shawir. I love her outfit.

I received a shipping notice for my Bianca and Davina heads ordered during the Thanksgiving sale on Jan. 25th. Forgot to post, forgot about it entirely, in fact--since shipping is so chaotic right now I'd made my mind not to think about incoming packages. Finally checked the tracking this morning and... yep not much to see there. Will update on arrival.

 

I just got my new-to-me Impldoll Iris, but the previous owner did not include the s hooks for the feet and can't find them. Could someone tell me the size s hook I need for her feet? Better yet - can anyone point me to a source for the hooks? (I'm not happy, I've been waiting so long for her and now can't put her back together.)

 

@Violet Kidd There are some sellers on Etsy who have them, I don't know how long it will take for them to get here though. In the meantime, a workaround is to tie the foot onto the elastic with a loop of 1/8" ribbon.

 

My Ransom head came in a few days ago. I really liked his nose and mouth, but his chin was a little to prominent for my taste so today I took out my Dremel and some sanding pads and narrowed it. The head has a huge neckhole for a head that's more in line in size for a typical 70cm doll. It's going to make finding a body more uh, interesting.

 

@Cloudedmind Congratulations on getting him! That's a shame to hear about the huge neckhole though (@Girrl encountered the same with Sicily), who knows if it's the trend with the newer Impl sculpts. How is his head circumference, by the way? Is it 23cm as his ACBJD listing advertised?

 

@AntarelNefertili I measure about 22.5cm so not that much off from AC's listed measurements.

 

Wow my Marlon head with faceup and eyes has shipped. This is the fastest order ever! I ordered it on January 17th. Is this typical wait time?? Once it’s here I have to decide the gender and body.

 

My Davina head got here today. The tracking site has said New York Customs on Monday, guess no one scanned it after that. It's a pretty head, but I am very disappointed. The site lists head measurement as 21 cm, and I would have been fine with that, but I've measured her four times and keep coming up with 19.5 (and that's with shrink wrap still on). I'm assuming my Sicily will be the same. Heck, my BBB Sprite comes in at 17! This is indeed tiny for a 63.5 cm. body. I've got a 21 cm. Souldoll Shiva G head on a 60 cm. BBB body and she looks proportional. I've done the same with a 22 cm. Asleep Eidolon head. I will probably put her on Sicily's body when it gets here, because Sicily is supposed to be smaller, but I can't say I'm happy. Although kudos to Impl for getting her here so fast.

 

My heads from the end of November event just arrived, no shipping notice before hand though. I've set them to off-gas in a separate room because WHOOOOO they smell very strongly!! (Remember friends, scent is particulate; if stuff is off-gassing, put it somewhere with good ventilation that YOU and pets do not have to be in, until it stops reeking.) They must have made these in a bit of a rush and sent them out very... "fresh".

 

congrats! Which heads did you get?

 

Oh thanks! I got Filraen and Acorn. I might not keep the Acorn, since Filraen turned out to be what I want for this character. The other head was sort of a just in case insurance.

 

Awesome that one of the two ended up being just what you're looking for!

BJDivas just told me last night that my custom tan Impl Model body is finally there! I paid the shipping invoice, so I guess soon I'll be finding out if the body matches my tan Angelsdoll head like it was meant to, or if I have the same problem many of you seem to have had, with colors that were disappointingly pale...

 

Yeah my peach/real skin order is just... NS. Fortunately I've done dyeing and blushing to match before and that's all easier to match a head to a good tan body than vice versa.

 

Exactly-- if the body is super pale compared to the head, I'm stuck with dyeing a whole body (doable, but tough to get even and requires maintenance) or blushing the head paler to match (which kind of ruins the whole point of having gotten the head in tan to begin with!)

Of course I may be borrowing trouble, and I won't know what I'm actually dealing with until it arrives, but this order has been so unbelievably frustrating and full of problems and mishaps and has dragged on so long already, and it's a bummer to think that I might go thru all that and pay the extra for a custom color and still not get what I actually asked for...

 

Me again. Ok I lucked out on getting a Argodoll body here on DoA and it works really nicely with my Impldoll head, however I believe the body is normal yellow. So question is does anyone have the normal pink Argodoll and a Impldoll to check resin colors? Thanks in advance.

 

le sigh, color troubles. I ordered this dude a ringdoll body and I need to see if they'd let me get it in whatever their tan is. hopefully they havent cast it yet.

 

Talked to Divas last week about Tony and Sicily and they talked to Impl, who only sent them the tracking for the Davina head, so they're asking again. I'd really like some news on them.
