IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

Impldoll posted a video on their Facebook showing off how well the new body poses.

 

@TokyoLynn any chance of a link? Especially for those of us who do not Book the Face?

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil Here you go. Impldoll

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil Oh shoot sorry. I spaced on the link.

@Cloudedmind That's for picking up my slack there.

 

Thank you both!

Wow. I am super impressed, and any guilt I felt about ordering her is gone.

Can not wait for the 68 cm version.

 

@TokyoLynn No problem!

@MaleficentMrsofEvil I have to pass on the 63cm version, but I'm also looking forward to the 68cm version.

 

Ooh the ankles and knees look nice, I really should upgrade my MGB body to it.

 

I loved the way the body poses too...I haven't yet ordered but I really want to!

 

I posted in this thread earlier asking some questions about hybrids, I figure I should share my results!

I put a Sicily head on a Fanff_11 Model 60 body since I wanted a 60 cm girl for my OC. Both the head & the body are meant to be a match for Volks normal resin, but they're maybe only about an 85-95 percent match to each other lol. I didn't bother doing any resin matching on the head, but the difference is almost imperceptible in real life. She's also got Dikadoll jointed hands which adds yet another resin color to the mix





The head fits really well! I suede all my doll's necks so I didn't really experiment with the mobility without hot glue sueding, but there's barely any gapping, mostly at the back where it's hidden behind the hair. I love her small head, she really feels like a tall adult when standing next to my MSDs who have the same 7/8 head size.

Eyes are very temporary, I do eventually want to make some realistic 10mm eyes for her myself. (Anyone have a rec for 10mm eye molds?) But otherwise I'm extremely happy with how she came out as she's my first OC I shelled as a BJD! So happy to have an Impldoll back in my collection.

 

She looks super pretty and I just got back my Sicily that I'll post later, she looks so different from all the others I've seen and she has me wrapped around her tiny fingers. I'm surprised you want to do 10mm eyes since my Sicily has gapping even on her 14mm eyes...

 

@Mainframe110 - were you asking about Dikadoll/Impldoll hybrids? @Haven_Of_Dolls336 had asked, and I posted a head swap here.

 

Awh thank you! I'd love to see your Sicily, it's such a versatile sculpt On the eye size, the eyes I have in her right now are 12mm and the actual eye fits the eyewell fairly well. (I don't actually have any 10mm eyes on me to try out the size.) I hope to get a range of eye mold sizes between 10mm & 16mm so I'll definitely have room for experimentation!

I honestly can't remember what I was asking about, it was I think over 6 months ago at that point. But I appreciate the link! After this recent success I see myself doing more hybrids in the future so I'll hoard all the info I can get my hands on

 

She is super pretty, thanks for sharing! Her faceup is so cute. I love how versatile Sicily can be, yours looks very different from mine And the proportions of Fanff body combo are spot on. Good job

Edit: I have 14mm and 12mm eyes for her, and I prefer 14mm, as 12mm already has some gapping.

 

I did some photos on the MGB body and man the neck joint is low-key super helpful even if it hurts my whole body to restring that darn body, featuring her very very much in love boyfriend.

 

How/where did you get the elf ears? :O

 

I modded them myself! Just using regular ol white miliput. It was my first mod ever and the results could have been better (I'm no sculptor by any means) but they're mostly covered by her hair so it all works out.

 

They look so good! My character also has elf ears (well, fairy ears I guess) but I'm too afraid to mod her ears...

 

Not to get too off topic but this video by Lomi's Playground is what helped me start and get thru the process, everything is broken down into easy to understand stages and made the mod seem less daunting:

 

I'll check it out, thank you so much!

To get ON topic, I have a Mona and I love her but I am contemplating getting a new head. I don't see that as an option on the website, can I email them?

 

I emailed Impldoll directly to get my Sicily head, it was was a very smooth and quick purchase! Seems like they had absolutely no issue with me just wanting a head. They just asked to confirm the sculpt/resin color & my shipping address and then they sent me a paypal invoice. The email I messaged was the one listed on their instagram I think? It's [email protected] I don't know about normal impldoll wait times but it only took a month between payment and having the head arrive :0
