IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

oh I am lucky because I have normal pink telethesia and dragon guy I'll check how they match and post here. Thanks a lot

 

@Fyrwenn I get wigs everywhere! I think the long shiny ones are from Moonlight BJD a few years ago. I buy wigs from Chinese sellers on Etsy a lot. GuluUp and BeckystudioArt. Also Cloversinging and Alice’s Collection. Ancient ones from Legend Doll and Stacy’s Pink Ocean.

I had to restring Massimo because ever since I removed his channel stopper he's been very sinuous...almost too sinuous. Now I'm using the 3-string method and I think I'm going to do this for my Aurora also. Anything to stop me upgrading her body with something new...

 

Silly question but what do you mean by three string? I'm having a hard time picturing it for a body that isn't like luts' pegs of hell...

 

@Haven_Of_Dolls336, I would like to learn about this 3 string method also!

 

If it's 3 strings total - one for the arms, and one for each leg? Or if it's four strings total, one for the arms, one for each leg, and then a second, traditional long string? But that would assume that two sets of elastic cord will fit through the channel, and at that point, I'd rather grab some plant wire from the hardware store.

Editing to add (my original question): is there a chance of Impldoll redoing the MGB girl body? I love everything from the waist up.
Or do I have to stop being lazy and just resculpt those knees myself?
Yes, yes, I'm pretty sure I know what the answer is...

 

@Haven_Of_Dolls336 @Silabear
If it's the method I'm thinking of, then it's 1 string for arms and 2 for legs (one each). That's what I use.

Luts has a nice tutorial for it

Thank you!

 

@Haven_Of_Dolls336 Lupus Darkmoon's tutorial is the right one, I use two super strong shock cords - one for each leg - and a separate one for the arms. Before I did it, he had a channel stopper at the top of his pelvis to direct the string, but it made his torso very rigid. Now that the stopper is gone and each leg has its own leg, he has the right amount of torso movement while being steady on his legs.

@MaleficentMrsofEvil The MGB body is so new, they probably haven't had enough time to work out the kinks for an upgrade, and to change the molds and so on.

 

@Fyrwenn
For your incoming head, check out Doll Family, they're bodies are very nice for hybrids and they have a few more options in the slender 62-65 cm range. You can also try finding the OLD impldoll Star male bodies. I've got one and it's very slender compared to the TGB which is what Massimo is on.

 

True, I looked and found a body that would fit perfectly for that head. Thanks you for this idea There are many great slender doll bodies, I just need to find the best resin colour match at this point...

 

Also 2d doll has a nice 68cm boy body you could ask them to match T&D normal pink or dikadoll since they cast for 2d doll

 

Hello,

What’s the estimate waiting time from impldoll if you order a blank doll?

Thank you in advance for the help

 

On average, 3-4 months. They're really good at being fast and if you order something they happen to already have it's even faster.

 

In my experience, it depends upon who or what you're ordering. Impldoll used to be much faster, but the new bodies they've released (the 63 cm Model body, the 62 cm 1/3 body, and the 68 cm Idol body) have been extremely popular. My wait times are five to six months now. Custom colors will extend your wait at least another month or two.

I'm almost at month five for the 62 cm body. Le sigh - the downsides of popularity, I guess. Not that it matters. They are so worth the wait. And an extra month or two is not too terrible.

 

oh hmmm...that is good to know. I was hoping that if they release the muscle girl body this month or next month, that'd it'd be to me in time for the con in March, since i'd heard they had about a 3-4 month turn around, but with those wait times (and that she keeps getting pushed back) it sounds like that's probably pretty unlikely :/

 

I got my model body (the one that came out with Imara and had the wider shoulders) in like 3 months. But I placed order the day it came out so maybe that helped. I can't believe that was a year ago already...this year went so fast.

 

Thank you so much for the answers and information.

I decided to risk it and order the beautiful Kamara in the star model body with brown skin. God willing I hope I’m part of the lucky ones that get their dolls in the 3-4 month time frame.

Do you guys order from the site or a dealer?

I order from the site and when I added my address it didn’t give me an option to add my state. So I just put it along with the city. I hope they use my PayPal address instead

 

I ordered by messaging Impldoll on Facebook. Super easy. The person(s) running the Facebook side of things is pretty good at English.
