IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

Yep! I remember your 3 Ziv situation! I’m so glad they got the right colour on the end. 18 days isn’t terrible either—I’m shipping a doll to someone in China, and I paid just so much money for 6 day shipping with insurance, so I knew o couldn’t justify using ups for a couple of paint chips.

 

Not sure i've shared Cordelia here!

She's an Impldoll Zona with a faceup by pistachidoll on IG!
No body yet as i think i'll be making her a gorgeous bust to sit on and display my eyes that i create.
She's my first impldoll and they're so gorgeous, didn't realise how small their heads were though!

 

Quick question for any Star owners, would I be better off sticking to the 64cm body or paying extra for the MGB body? I love the idea of the shoulder shrug and the extra mobility, but is it a pain in ass in practice for like dressing and making look nice?

 

I constantly regret not getting the MGB body to be honest. Most of Impl's recent pics on Instagram are featuring MGB and it looks good to me in terms of aesthetics. I don't care much about the shoulder joint, but the neck and the extra hip joint add so much to posing.
Hope this helps you anyhow, let's see if there will be any comments from MGB owners.

 

I am very excited about the neck joint too tbh since the character I'm shelling loves to slouch. Your unboxing pics of your Sicily helped me decide that I really wanted that sculpt so thank you for them!

 

You're very welcome! I'm glad that I could help, and that there might be one more Sicily out there. She's my favorite sculpt ever

 

I admit, my plans are a different energy than your Sicily but I'm excited for her!

 

That's great, she can be super versatile. I'd love to see how your plans turn out. Kudos on your sculpt choice again haha
My Sicily is saying hi

 

Hello! I love the color choice of her clothes too, soft pink is a great color. I will make sure I post her lots dw

 

Thanks! Cool, see you around then

 

Hey all, I know there's a heap of past threads of impldoll discussions, but I'm looking for specific information and the DoA search function isn't the greatest...

Anyone have an Impldoll (female) star head on a body that's 60cm or shorter? I'm planning on shelling an OC but I have 2 problems with the Impldoll Star body: The first being that the body is way too curvy in the chest and hips for my OC. And the second is that I would *ideally* want her to be shorter.

I saw the great pics of the Candice head on the Dollshe body. I'm not particularly a fan of that body and I'd like to see if anyone else has put an Impldoll head on any other bodies? Thanks!

I have Delia on a Spiritdoll Proud body, she's very willowy compared to my muscle girl

 

That’s just a little too tall for me, but that’s a lovely body! Thanks for sharing!

 

I have an azelea head the shared a supia body, the original willowy small one, and I think she looked really good on it, I can try to see if I have old photos but all my dolls are packed up right now. That said I think the supia body worked so well because even though it is small it does have shoulders lol I’m not sure how other bodies would work in that scale, that said the idol heads are small and I think could fit on many bodies.

 

Wow, she's gorgeous!! Definitely going to take a look at this sculpt.

 

I also asked them if I could order a different outfit and they said yes so hopefully I will be able to soon order a Sicily with Eudora's outfit

 

I'm going to chime in to suggest that the issue is less head size (because Impl's recent sculpts are trending towards pinheaded) but the massive neck hole. I've got a Sicily head, her neck hole is all the way to her jawline and a very stretchy 7in wig fits just fine.
Personal hot take, big SD sized dolls should not have minifee-sized heads

 

Aaah I was looking at one of the Supia bodies! They’re gorgeous and I saw that the neck size is roughly the same measurement as Impldoll’s. The one thing I was worried about was the scale but it sounds like it was a good match! Thanks for the info! If you do happen to find a pic I’d love to see it

 

As someone who mostly has 1/4 dolls and one 72cm boy, it’s funny to me how it seems like the bigger dolls get after 60-65cm, the smaller their heads become? Like so many properly 1/3 dolls I’ve seen and have owned in the past have had HUGE heads, like 8/9 and even 9/10. But my 72cm boy has a 7/8 head and could very honestly look proportionate on a body that’s 10-15cm shorter.

I have found there are a handful of shorter bodies that have the same neck measurements (Doll Family H’s 58cm body is one I have in mind) but the question is if the hole in the head will match up with the neck. Questions, questions…
