IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

So on Impl's own website they're saying they can ship a full blank 75cm boy within a month (if you place the order through them). I'm torn. I want to upgrade my TGB into the new body. I would love to use the new blank head for something. But I don't trust my luck not to be screwed. The last time I ordered a full doll from them, I went through a dealer and did a layaway and everything worked fine.

 

I would agree with not trusting your luck honestly!! That and those of us who’ve been waiting will probably have our waits extended even if impldoll miraculously manages this 1 month turnaround.

 

At this point I expect my head to be a masterpiece with a face up that is kind of a doll version of mona lisa if a body just takes one month head must be taking even less, so what else they have been doing for the whole year+, if not creating an absolute perfection...

They said the head will be shipped this month, so we will find out soon(or not lol).

 

My full doll was shipped within a month. I order September 6 and she was shipped October 19. God willing I’m hoping to get her next week. So I think right now everybody has a different experience. I order through them

 

Well, it looks like impldoll has responded to the issues with custom colours. They just posted this statement on IG saying that they’re no longer accepting custom colours, dark tan orders, or custom faceups.

It’s probably for the best that it went this way. After my experience getting a custom colour I would not recommend their service to anyone else. I just hope, if they’ve messed up my second custom colour they’re willing to do right by me and redo it, because they’re shipping without showing it to me, which is a red flag.

I do hope this solves some of their issues for them, but I don’t think it’s tremendously likely I’ll be ordering from them again!

 

Yeah, this was something I would suggest those still waiting don't accept.
They refused to show me the hands (one pair wasn't painted) and shipped her with flat feet strung instead of heeled (as was requested and accepted by them) to avoid acknowledging the issues with the heel legs. I can get particularly stubborn, and I know some may battle with that, but refuse to accept the order if they wont show it to you - easier for them to fix the issue whilst the order is still with them than to promise you a freebie/replacement they have no financial obligation to actually deliver.

All in all I hope them no longer taking custom orders/'special skin' orders means those waiting for so long can get their items instead of them prioritizing this alleged 1 month turn around on the newest item (because of course they're still focusing on new orders, even after the post on IG/FB...).

 

I’m seconding that hope that they aren’t still deprioritizing people who’ve already ordered and paid to chase new orders. Realistically though, they have to be prioritizing orders for their 75cm body over existing orders—you don’t go from a 6 month wait to a 1 month wait without a serious amount of crunching. I highly suspect that if they make good on their promises for the 75cm boy it’s at the cost of their existing customers.

 

Yeah I'm definitely waiting until later to order him I just want the body anyways, I don't need the event stuff.

 

Impldoll shipped my order They pulled through and made good on their promise to ship in october. I'll post pics once I have it

 

I’m so EXCITED! I got my beautiful baby girl Kamara today and she is PERFECT! She even came with a few extras besides the high heel feet I was not expecting. The color is gorgeous and her face even without any face up is so gorgeous. I did snap some very quick pictures because I couldn’t resist and open her in the car. UnfortunatelyI won’t be able to actually take her out of the box properly until later tonight and as soon as I do I will share some better pictures with you all.

impldoll absolutely impressed me with the quality of their doll and their super fast shipping and production time. Again I’m only speaking of my own experience nobody else

A quick picture. I named her Minerva

 

For inspiration, my Kamara (on a Supia Doll body).

My Minerva. She is so gorgeous She has green eyes but the lighting on my room is to dark so they don’t show unless I used the flash but then everything is to bright LOL Here is the link of my box opening thread https://denofangels.com/threads/minerva-is-home-impldoll-kamara.883999/

 

She's beautiful. I love her style and the scale of her body and head are really nice.

 

I would love a Kamara - yours is gorgeous! Congratulations!

 

My Madeline on 68cm body has shipped!

 

My girl is out getting her face up. She will have a drag Queen style face up

 

She’s here!
Kathy P on Instagram: "Impldoll Madeline (now Jae Mi) arrived today. It seems like a long time since I got a whole doll. She is a fabulous poser. And she’s tall. She already chose her boyfriend Won Seok. Thank you so much @impldoll"


And other company heads on the 68cm body.
Kathy P on Instagram: "I tried on a bunch of heads on the @Impldoll 68cm girl body today. Fan doll Liu won today’s lottery so that she could tempt her long time lover, Cha Eun Woo."

 

Oooh she looks great! I need to still do my devotion doll hybrid idea so ty for motivating me to get working on the floating head situation

 

Impldoll Vilma has arrived! I ordered the Impldoll 1/3 or 62 cm body in early April 2024 (during the promo period); she arrived Friday, November 29, 2024. She is in Impldoll's peach gold resin, which I suspect contributed significantly to the delay. The head was a free gift; I also received a gift pair of hands.
Two notes: (1) my phone camera was glitchy. It does not like Impldoll's peach gold resin. (2) 3D-printed resin Smartdoll heads were printed from freely available files from the Smart Doll/Culture Japan website and are for my personal use only (waiting to be painted).
The one and only decent picture of Impldoll peach gold resin my phone camera took:

Everything else under the fold (spoiler).

Spoiler: Impldoll peach gold vs Iplehouse peach gold

I have no idea what is going on with my phone camera. Bizarre.

Mari was on the Iplehouse nYID body. Impldoll's peach gold resin is more yellow; Iplehouse is more pink.

Iplehouse YID-G clothing fits perfectly. The broad shoulders would also work well with SartoriaJ 61 APH/64 MTN tops.
