1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

Sep 2, 2022

    1. It seems it also has the MGB's thigh joints? (Best thigh joints in my crew, BTW). While I love how the chest was sculpted a lot more naturally than before, I am still at two minds about the shrugging shoulders. There's a reason why I had the perma-shrug on my newer MGB fixed by a modder, haha.

    2. I don't have one but I'm turned off by the shrugging shoulders aesthetic. I also find the thigh mobility far more useful than the bicep joint (which I hate) and I'm a bit bummed that they changed the Model body to remove the thigh joint, went single jointed knees and kept the bicep joint.
       
    3. that's. . . a huge step backward :horror: I hate the bicep joint, it's so fugly! If they wanted more mobility in that area the 2 part (4 part?) elbow joint that LoongSoul has on their newest big boy body (probably on other bodies as well, but I just have the 73cm boy) gives great additional mobility without the freaky broken arm look

    4. Yeah, it was a surprise when I got Malachite to find those changes as Impl never said boo about the changes anywhere that I'm aware of. Kulfi has the old body with the thigh joints and double knees as does the 2nd Ziv (wrong colour again; I gave him to a friend for her b'day). Malachite was received about 5 months after the 2nd Ziv for timing context purposes.

      I mean, Malachite stands very solidly and to be fair, I don't use the thigh joint very much (including with other companies that also have a thigh joint) but it is handy to have in certain situations. The bicep joint? Utterly useless with the possible exception of one of Mkhai's arms but he is also a Miguel the Demon Hunter and has a bunch of horns/bone spurs in that area so it makes a tiny bit of sense for him for that specific arm.
       
    5. I also hate the bicep joint. Always fighting with it. What happens if itโ€™s fused with glue? No arms across the body?
       
    6. I don't know. I haven't been brave enough to try doing that.
       
    7. Me either. I suppose I could play with it to seeโ€ฆ
       
    8. Iโ€™ve been waiting for someone with experience to inspire me.
       
    9. Is it just me or did Impl do away with a lot more than their classic sculpts? I'm peeved about Aurora but I no longer want or need the character she was shelling.
       
    10. [​IMG] My Darlene with her recently re-done faceup and some more in-scale piercings. I need to get her a guitar at some point.

    11. What did you use for her piercings, I have been searching for something similar myself.
       
    12. I used nail art beads from Amazon. I got a box with various sizes in gold and silver.

    13. I can see better now, I got a bunch of tiny ones off Amazon too thanks :)

    14. So my crew underwent major changes, with bodies being moved around to accommodate heads both new and old. My old MGB (that is still admittedly the best-posing female body in the crew) got reassigned to another character, who uses an Iplehouse Grace as a headsculpt.

    15. Man I 100% want Imara so bad and the new body and hands are *chef's kiss* so if you see me in the waiting room again, that's why

    16. The heel legs! The hand options! :love
      The current promotion, if you order from Impldoll directly, is:
      Purchase the new body, and get the Imara head and all four sets of hands free. That's a full 62 cm doll, plus 3 sets of optional hands, for $280. For a 62 cm BJD, that is a bargain.
      The promotion runs through the second week of July, and applies if you order from Impldoll directly. In the comments of their latest IG post, they said that they offer layaway.

    17. The hands are gorgeous! I like the body except for the shrug thing and the very prominent nipples. She looks a bit too much like Sicily for me, but it is tempting. It's a very good deal.

    19. I've never ordered directly from Impdoll before but I'm sorely tempted. How easy is it to order from them?

    20. Legit I just did it, I copy pasted the form in the head event post here, filled it out, put my requests for the order, and they did it super fast. They used PayPal and sent me an invoice for payment.
