IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

that faaaace! If they offer this sculpt without the tentacles I might be in trouble

 

quick question how long is the waiting time now with impldoll?

 

That largely depends on if you order a face-up or not and if something weird doesn't happen like with a few sculpts recently. I think if hard pressed to give an estimate for my own order, I think like two months is a reasonable estimate. (Not including the wait-time for some clothes and other stuff I ordered through Alice) Otherwise, feel free to check in the impldoll waiting room too

 

In the waiting room here I see an august order that arrived in November, so yeah, about 2-3 months. I ordered a bunch of heads In November, and I’m expecting them to ship around late February/early March depending on how many other orders are around them, because I ordered during an event.

 

I ordered mine (Mona on Star body, fullset) on October 14th and she was ready to ship on December 10th. The only extra were a single pair of shoes + stand from Alice's. Pretty quick all things considered.

 

I ordered a full doll with a faceup and waited about 6 months.

 

thank you all for the quick responses!
I am planning to buy ransom,no face up.
I'm going to buy through alicecollections because I need a wig and one pair of eyes,2-3 months seems reasonable to me to.

 

I really like the new Star girl on Impldoll's website, she has really lovely eyes and I like her outfit a lot. If you're looking for a big eyed sculpt, I think this is a great option. Welcome to impldoll

 

She looks super sweet like that! And the attire is gorgeous. Does Impldoll sell the outfit separately?

 

I was going to ask and if not, advertise for a split. It should be possible given they let me buy Eudora's outfit with my Sicily, but you never know.

 

i'm going to be buying a lanny in the next month or so but i can't figure out what resin to get him in, i know white and normal pink will be to light and dark tan probably? to dark but i'm finding it hard to find recent comparisons between real, tan, dark tan, and brown, impl seem to be changing their resin all the time lol

 

If I remember correctly, real skin is more like an Iplehouse normal, so if you are concerned about him being too dark, tan may be the way to go. I highly recommend searching for each individually to see what rough approximations can be made across other resins. Even if you don't want to make a hybrid, it can help you picture what you're getting into.

 

@Haven_Of_Dolls336 comparisons to other resins might be useful though i can't find a lot of recent ones, maybe i need to search harder, from what i have seen impls recent tan seems to be very 2006 spray tan in a bottle orange which is defiantly not what i'm after but that might just be how it looks in photos i think brown skin may be my best bet for a natural tan skintone but it's hard to tell from photos if it has a slightly grey cast IRL or if it's just my monitor

 

I have a girl in their brown and it was disappointingly light for the character it was intended for (now she's quite different than originally intended), but it truly is a gorgeous color! It doesn't have a grey cast to my eye. blank, indoor light
done up
next to Ringdoll tan, more natural light

 

@Thymeseer oh thank you so so much for those pictures they help a lot! it defiantly must have just been a mix of the lighting in the photos i saw and my monitor that made the brown resin look a bit ashy cos yours look great absolutely could work for my lanny, your candice is beautiful btw the red and gold look so good on her

 

does anyone have a Eudora yet? I'm considering one eventually to go with my 'semi realistic 70cm' scale guys, but I'm not sure if I find the jaw too-too narrow.... beautiful eye shape though!

 

There are at least two unboxing threads:

I got my Mona two days ago (she's absolutely lovely, I need to post the unboxing pictures this weekend!) and I would like to know what size of elastic people are using for the Star body?

She was tightly strung as most impldolls seem to be so I took her apart and now I'm in a bit of a pickle. I put 4mm in her body & arms, and the body seems fine, albeit a bit floppy so I'm going to redo it. The arms, on the other hand, seem to be every so slightly too narrow for that size and I suspect that the elastic is getting stuck in the elbow, which makes the wrists floppy or hang a little. I did try 3mm but I think it's too small. It's my first bjd so I'm a bit clueless about what are my options there

 

I got shock cord for my bigguns, it made them less floppy. There is also an interesting way to know some of the double-jointed torso bodies with string just for the legs and then a separate string for the torso and head. Makes it sturdy.
