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. Bear in mind that the head I have is a prototype Impl sent me that isn't even released yet. He doesn't even have an official name from Impl (there's just a model/project number carved in his head) so the size of his head may not be indicative of the general size of their heads.

    2. Oh cool! I will be curious what the release will eventually be if it ever gets released.

    3. I think he's beautiful but I'm obviously biased. I think Impl said they might release him in 2023 but that's not a firm date at all. I was extremely surprised that they sent it to me.

    4. That's too bad, I've been interested in seeing some different images of her and what she could look like in different styles.

    5. Sorry for the onslaught of questions but do you think 70cm clothing would fit the MGB body? I was really concerned about things fitting correctly and it happens that most of the clothing I like are boys clothing on Alice Collections... I bought a hoodie and leather shorts so I guess I will soon find out :eusa_pray

    6. She’s a big girl, so probably! I don’t have the MGB, but I have the muscular Star body right now, and she fits a lot of 70cm boy clothes.

    7. From what I've been able to see on pictures, the 1/3 heads don't see to come with ears already pierced, unless I'm mistaken. Does anyone here has experience piercing them, especially regarding the thickness of the ears and fragility? Or if you'd advise to not to it and go with alternative options for earrings?

    8. Depends really on the type of clothes, but I'm linking one of my earlier posts to show what ACBJD 70cm clothes I verified could work on the MGB: https://denofangels.com/posts/13067234/

    9. I bought these two items specifically:
      Boy Outfits, BJD Outfits - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls, BJD Accessories - Alice's Collections shorts
      Boy Shirts, BJD Outfits - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls, BJD Accessories - Alice's Collections hoodie, I think I'm more worried if anything about the shorts...

    10. does impledoll have set sales during the year or do they just randomly happen? if they are set can someone tell me when they happen?

    11. I haven't been following Impldoll's sales events lately, but the one's that's relatively consistent is their Anniv event, around late October. Not sure if they have Christmas, New Year, or Chinese New Year events.

      I originally posted this in the T&D subforum, but I thought it might also be useful here because the bodies are from Impldoll. The head on the left, on the short-shoulder Starwoman MGB, is a T&D Xiao Bei (Age of 21 version, meant for the 75cm range). Surprisingly good fit and mobility (also good proportions, IMO).

      On flat feet, the T&D/Impldoll hybrid stands at 66cm. But if you smack on the heeled feet, add some sueding, and put on killer heels like the one my IH Scarlet hybrid is wearing on the right, you could reach a height of 71cm.

    12. Yes, I did not expect it to work, either. Mind you, the T&D head was meant for a LoongSoul body I have. But if others want to try out a male T&D head + female Impldoll body hybrid, the MGB is now verified as a possible option. :D

    13. I don't usually feel the desire to post blank terrible cell phone pics, (though I love seeing others’) but I thought I would share my Davina since she officially has her own body.


      [​IMG]

      This was my Christmas present to myself. Suitably for this angel character, it's from the defunct (?) Magical Angel/XMdolls, same model as the one my Supia girl uses but with large bust. My friend had a similar hybrid and upgraded her Supia girl to their Ballerina 60cm model some time ago, so this had been sitting in a closet for ~2 years. The body is probably a decade old at this point, but aside from a faint cigarette smell that I hope will go away with elastic replacement and sealant removal, it is in good shape. Though I dislike the look of the chonky knee joints on this body, I love how it poses as a whole, so I am happy to have another one. She is in need of some work, but it's still hard to believe this pretty doll cost me less than $150 all in.

      Davina's head mod was finished last summer. Her head is actually smaller on this body than it looks in my bad photo--was trying not to emphasize her giant bosom by keeping a higher angle. :XD: She has a slight gap at the neck-- great mobility-- I'm super pleased. She's ready for a resin match and faceup, but there's no good place to spray sealant here until April, so this post and some tinkering with wig designs will have to satiate my excitement. I just love her expression. She seems wise and kind and just a little mischievous. Looking forward to seeing what else comes out as I do her faceup and make her more suitable eyes.

      The silk robe she is wearing was originally made some years ago for a 70cm male doll, but I plan to alter it and the rest of the outfit to fit her. The angel-inspired fantasy character design doesn't fit with any of my other dolls, (and I hope this won't lead to an urge to shell her husband) but I plan to keep her faceup fairly simple and have her work as an extra in my modern photostories when not in her full regalia.

      That's one floating head floating no longer!

    14. After about 6 months, she (sculpt: Mona) came in!

      [​IMG]

      Sorry for the terrible cell phone pic (as well as the delay in posting, I got her last month). She was bought to be a character doll of Adelle from Bravely Default 2, and I was fortunate to find a wig that is close-ish to Adelle's hair (needs some trimming). The problem is that her head is smaller than I thought, but luckily I bought the wig in two sizes to be on the safe side.

      I need to make clothes for her, and that will definitely be an adventure because it's been a hot minute since I have sewn anything, so she's just chilling naked in my closet with the other dolls while she waits for clothes. Impl doll shipped her half strung (I had to string her legs and her head on), which was definitely a challenge because the elastic was super tight, so her head is a little stiff, but the rest of her joints seem fine.

    15. @Havra Your Davina really suits the body! And I love her outfit-it looks great as it is to me!
      @light the light Congrats on your Mona! Impl sure does string them tightly!

    17. My Sewall from their Halloween promotion arrived (pretty fast - just two months!) He's a beautiful sculpt, will need some sanding in the inner eyes but is very detailed and otherwise I am very pleased.
