IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

So the Ransom I ordered as part of the Thanksgiving even is already here! He's GORGEOUS and actually more masculine than I thought (in a very good way). He just looks so friendly! I love his cleft chin and his lips are to die for. Album

 

@Thymeseer He's so cheerful looking and I love his ears!

 

The only things keeping me from not getting a Ransom is that I don't have a character for him and I'm running out of space to store boxes. Otherwise I would absolutely get him 'cause he's so gorgeous!

 

he's perfect! @Thymeseer

 

He has a swell cleft in his chin! Damn, if I'd seen him in tan, I'd be in danger

 

I see a lot of heads posted but not a lot of bodies. Are the imple bodies not good posers? Is there a recent body comparison thread?

 

@Subzerolover I have four male bodies (72cm version 1 and 3, two different old 60cm) and two female bodies (both the 65cm, one muscular and one not). I really like them, and think the posing is great with some caveats (they're very heavy, come strung really tight, etc.). I just don't want too many of my dolls to have the same bodies; I like variety.

Did you have any specific questions/comparisons you want to see?

 

@Thymeseer I want to know how well they hold poses. The dollshe I got does not satisfy my pose-need. Which body holds poses the best?

 

They're equally good at posing in the arms, a little suedeing at the shoulders really does wonders. The elbow peanut in the big boy's arms have to be engaged by pulling it out a bit; for me it's a two-handed job. But they do stay put. The bicep swivel I'm ambivalent about. It's ugly out of clothes, but my guys have covered arms.

The legs is the big difference for me. Version 1 legs make me want to YELL. There's no front string channels (they're hidden on the side), so to get him to sit I have to twist the top thigh section around to actually GET to a channel so the string has a place to slide down so he can sit. I'm planning on cutting front channels in with my Dremel. That should fix the issue.

My version 3 body is a lot stiffer in slouching/torso in general. I think it can be fixed with restringing, but I haven't gotten the string yet. He can sit with ease however. Both stand well, and easily. But they're VERY heavy. My chunkiest, weightiest boys. Solid.

I do have to say is they're not going to be as good of posers as Dollshe. They just are too heavy. So they might not be the guys for you.

 

Flat out best all around posing would be my big LoongSoul dolls. To be fair, I haven't really handled my big DollShe dude enough to properly compare him to the LS boys, but straight out of the box the LS boys have been better/easier than any other doll I've handled.
I have a muscular body Idol girl and her pose-ability is pretty good - better than my 65cm DollZone girls, not as good as my LoongSoul and Twigling girls, as good as, maybe slightly better than, my older Soom girls (the old 65cm girl body from way back in the day). The Fairyland F65 isn't included on my posing list because the engineering on that body is absolute crap - she can't even sit upright on her own.
My Impl girl arrived very tightly strung, but it doesn't really bother me. I'll eventually restring her with thicker elastic which will improve ROM and ability to hold poses, but am in no real hurry to do so

 

@Subzerolover I have two Impl bodies, the model male v1 and the...TGB 72cm body. They're both decent posers, I do find the bigger body very heavy. I can get him into stable poses easily but he would be difficult to manipulate if you struggle with mobility in your hands. I removed his channel stopper in the torso and it helped with his tension a lot. I agree with Thymeseer, they look nice in clothing and they sit and lounge great. I also find the feet are too small for the weight, so you will definitely need to stabilize him when standing, but that can be easily replaced with bigger feet.

 

I wish I could help with the question but I don't want to play too much with my doll unless she's got clothes on, and she's meant to be a character doll and I haven't made her any clothes... so she's sitting in my closet naked. But like someone mentioned, they're strung very tight and are heavy, so take that as you will.

 

Hello, I have a question if anybody can help me.
I plan to get and Irvin head and hybrid it with a different body, to join my crew of big boys, who mostly are Loongsoul. But Loongsoul is known for how pinheaded are the recent ones, so I was wondering if anyone has some Impldoll and Loongsoul at hand to show how they look together?
Many thanks is someone can help!

 

I did it,I ordered Ransom!
This was my first time using paypal and first time ordering outside the EU(I'm aware with the tax I have to pay extra).
Now the waiting time begins....

 

My heads came!!!!

zona is smaller than expected, which is actually perfect!

This is her on a dollmore glamour eve body—idk how getting that much smaller worked on her, but somehow, she looks perfect

 

She looks lovely! That faceup is really pretty, is that the company one?

 

could anyone that owns a eudora be kind enough to to measure her head for me and tell me if 14mm or 12mm eyes work better?
according to acbjd eudoras head is 21cm and wears 14mm eyes but i find a lot of the time official sizes either aren't correct or at least not what looks the best

P.S @Chameleon your zona is absolutely precious omg

 

It’s a company one!! I linked one of their Instagram posts and went “are you able to do a faceup like this one again?” And they did her almost identical to the photo, but she has this slight shimmer to her! I’m so impressed.

Thank you!!

I also have a blank Eudora and she’s in 14mm eyes with a 5 mm Iris, but you could easily do 12 or even 10mm probably!!
