IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

Aww thank you guys ,he had a face up yesterday,his outfit and proper wig I just ordered so hopefully I can show him off soon.
And yes will definitely get him jointed hands!,want him to be able to hold hands with his future husband,Loki(yes I ship them)

 

Hello!! I have an Impldoll Joshua, and while I love his head...I definitely don't love his Idol body. It's just so big and bulky and not him (those shoulders man, those shoulders). I'm considering my options for hybriding his head onto something more slim.

I know Impldoll seems to have changed their resins recently. I got him about the middle of last year (he was ordered December of 2021). Do any of the lovely people here know of any decent resin matches for the current Impldoll Normal Pink resin? It doesn't have to be perfect, as at this point liking the body he's on is more important to me. I think once I know what companies to look out for, I can then go through their body options and see if I can find any that I like.

In the same vein, anyone that's hybrided a male Idol head onto a smaller body, which ones avoid the dreaded bobblehead? I am looking for slimmer, as I said, but this is my first time even contemplating hybriding so I don't know what kinda shoulder width I should be looking for. Shorter is fine, I'd just like to know how short would be too short lol.

 

to avoid bobblehead - measure from the tip of the chin up to where the hairline would be, multiply by 2. This gives you the shoulder width that particular head/face needs to look proportional. That's all I've got, no idea about the resin matching

 

update on my Thranduil,I gave him a face up and hand sewn a robe for him.
He doesn't have pants yet or the right wig,fingers crossed they arrive soon.
Here is a photo of him:

Oooooo thank you! That should help with at least part of my search 8D

 

@Brytewolf I can't speak to this hybrid (yet) but I have one DFA body and one MYOU body I can attempt to hybrid. I'm currently playing musical bodies for my boys in tan because I HATE the Spiritdoll Proud body as much as it's possible to hate anything, and I'm getting sick of sewing for the Idol body too (bubble heads and butts galore)

 

That would be most appreciated, thank you! Any idea of how the Idol heads look on other shoulder widths would be stellar. I must also make a note to avoid the Spiritdoll Proud body myself then lol.

 

Hi everyone!

I haven’t been apart of a group discussion in many years but I wanted to pop in to share I ordered a Lanny head in grey skin with a custom face up.

I asked Impldoll for references of their new face up work on the “newer” Idol male heads in grey and they said no one has ordered one yet.

I sent them a picture of the Idealian Hyperon-Tempest Artist version and they said they would replicate it as best as possible. I also requested to not have his teeth painted and to just fill it in black.

I’m very curious to see how Lanny looks in such a different look. They said it should ship in July!

Happy to share a picture when he arrives if anyone has wondered what the new models might look like in grey and what they do with a custom face up request.

 

So I am not done playing musical heads with the females of the doll crew, moving sculpts around, reassigning characters and the like. The headsculpt is actually my modded 2016/7 Fantasia Doll Vivian (the erstwhile Warpaint-Adhara), which I repainted to now be her daughter.

Technically speaking, she has been a hybrid with Impldoll from the very beginning, but this time I gave her my custom-color MGB with the short shoulders. Because her head is on the petite side, she actually benefited from the shortened shoulders. That bod sorta disappointed me from day 1 (engineering issues, wrong color, etc.), but now I'm finally beginning to like it.

What do people think about the new 62cm girl body preview on IG? I like what I see.
Impldoll on Instagram: "The New 62cm female body is currently in production. There are still some details that need to be completed. #impldoll #bjd #bjddoll #bjdphoto #bjdphotography #bjdmakeup #bjdfaceup #dollmakeup #dollfaceup #dollpainting #fashiondolls #impldollbody #balljointeddoll #doll #dolls"

I’m hoping there’s a new boy body some day too. I have a head that needs a muscle body but I need a lighter weight guy these days.

 

I am hoping and praying that they adapt this to the MGB body and the 68 cm body. It is stunning!

 

Between those high shoulders and whatever her spine is doing... this one's not for me.

 

Yeah those shoulders are high. But then most models look like this. ruunwayss on Instagram: "Brittany Noon walks The Runway for Lanquan_Smith Spring 2019 . . #modeling #modellife #makeupartist #metgala #model #moda #instafashion #icon #instagram #brittanynoon #spring #streetstyle #show #style #amazing #legend #collection #viralpost #vanlife #viral #viralvideos #video #lifestyle #producer #beauty #beautiful #fashionweek #foryou #fy #fw19"

I asked about neck size and shoulder width. The neck is 9.2cm and the shoulders are 15cm.

 

I really like the way they sculpted her chest (esp compared to the chest on my current muscle girl)!

 

I've been following the comments. Impldoll is promising to do multiple heights, multiple bust sizes, and MGB shoulder joints. The first body should be available for sale next month.
If they do this - all of my big girls are going to have Impldoll bodies, I swear.
Let me start saving up my money now.

 

Update number 2!
Impldoll is saying yes to the MGB shoulder joints - but they didn't say which size.
They plan to offer the 62 cm body, plus a 63 cm and a 68 cm body with small, medium, and large busts.

 

Update number 3: Last call for Aurora, War of Future! I asked Impdoll on Instagram about getting a blank face sculpt photo of Aurora, and they said that they are going to stop selling her soon.
If you want this gorgeous sculpt, this is your last chance.

 

Is there a resource showing posing with MGB shoulder joints?

 

Oops found this.
