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. *rolls in* OMG that new body! :drool I can't wait for the 68cm version. I have a character who totally needs a body like that. My only real complaint is that I wish they'd given her arms a bit more mass and definition. It's got this great stomach and nice legs, but then the arms are kind of noodlely.

      Imara's very pretty, but I wonder if they'd let me get Eudora with this promotion.

    2. I think you could, considering they sold Sicily through it, the worst thing they can say is no thanks

    3. Hey can anyone here confirm on if Impldoll heads still range on the smaller side? Back when I had my Alma I remember her head wasn't huge. I just wanna know how it compares to a Ringdoll head.

    4. My Sicily head is pretty darn small, even compared to my Iplehouse girl. I'm not sure how it matches up to Ringdoll however.

    5. @Haven_Of_Dolls336 I'm hoping their newer sculpts are the same. I'm planning on ordering Imara to be the GF of my Ringdoll guy. I've had a hard time finding him a match that doesn't look bulbous next to him.

    6. I find Ringdoll heads to be pretty small. But I think they work fine with Impldoll.

    7. @Thymeseer Thank you so much! This helps me out greatly! :)
       
    8. My Sicily and Davina both measure 19 cm. The only Ringdoll I have in Sun Ce on the 5 body, and I just measured him at 22 cm. Don't know about the smaller Ringdolls.

    9. I have a Ringdoll Zhou Yu and his head is 20 cm so it should work out fine. :)

      Oh also made my order today! I ordered Imara along with her outfit, eyes, and heel legs. I picked Davina for my free event head and opted to pay extra to get her a face up. This is my first Impldoll in over 5 years.

    12. I haven't heard that personally but I can check Instagram again I guess
       
    13. I had heard they plan on making a 68cm version of the new 62cm female body but I'm not 100% certain.

    14. I would love that for a Kamara

    15. They are indeed! And they will offer the shoulder joints that the new Star MGB 65 cm body has, too. They said it would be a couple months yet.

    16. Welp I guess that means I'm not going to be super attached to my current MGB body

    17. I asked about the new boy body and got the following answer:
      “We will have the new male body soon.” Can’t wait to see…

    18. I buckled and ordered direct from Impldoll. I asked for all four sets of hands, the heel feet, and the heel legs, and apparently, they're throwing in the Imara head for free? I mean - not going to say no to a free head, even though the body is intended for my Impl Leona.
      They said that they plan to ship my doll in September, which is pretty fast in the BJD world, in my experience (the doll will be blank).
      Good thing I just got in a bunch of elastic. If the new body is strung anything like Lydia was, she's going to need a complete restring out of the box.
      I think the person who strings Impldolls does arm wrestling matches with the Dream Valley guy. :abambi:

    19. I feel like I'm wrestling whenever I restring my MGB body so I fear whomever strings them tbh. I should really sell that body within the next few months...:sigh

    20. I think the DV stringer is ever so slightly stronger than the Impl stringer. I could barely get the head onto my 3-arm DV body and I'm thinking I could probably sell tickets to the epic wrestling match that'll happen when I need to remove the head on my giraffe-taur body so he can be painted. It was hard to remove Malachite's head (Impl Ziv) but I never doubted it could be done (with much swearing to help the process along, of course).

      I ended up re-stringing the 3-arm body looser as he creaked alarmingly whenever I moved his joints and I was genuinely afraid I'd damage him. I'd tried the curled into a fetal position trick for a month and there was no loosening of his elastic. He did lose some of the ability to hold any position with his 3rd arm but I'll take that extremely minor concession over being afraid to move my doll for fear of damage any day.
