IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

@Ardent those are excellent! thank you! i was wondering how Azalea might look on the Feeple 65

 

@Ardent : Thank you so much for these headswaps! Azalea looks WOW on that F65! Lovely seeing the Supia65. I have it on my wishlist, and good to see the Impl heads hybrid so nicely on it.

I can also confirm the Impl woman heads look rather nice on the 62 ballerina. ^_~ Just a teeny bit more room at the neck, but not really noticeable. I have Azalea, Alberta, Aurora, and Lydia. Aurora seems to have the larger neck hole of the four and I have intentions of hybriding her on an undecided male body, but I also think that the 65 would do perfect as a hybrid with that particular head!!

 

Beautiful photos @Ardent! I really admire Supia's bodies, and good to know that some heads could work as a hybrid for it.

Haven't really been posting much here because my restless self is seriously considering changing up my preexisting Impl hybrids (some of them may no longer be hybrid anymore, or other heads may be assigned to them). Call it a case of my doll preferences changing once more. But while Adhara is still on the Starwoman MGB, I can spam her somewhat:

I finally got my Sicily in the mail recently and love her, weird ankles and all, but I'm not exactly sure how the MGB body works restringing wise and I didn't see on here or on impldoll's website a restringing guide. If anyone has a specific method or knows how impldoll does it, I'd love to know.

 

Haven_Of_Dolls336 congrats! how long did you had to wait for your sicily? currently waiting for my Ransom to arrive

 

Sorry I only got to reply here now. I use two loops of strings for my MGBs. One loop for the arms+torso, and a longer one which run from the neck to the ankles. It's actually a very straightforward setup, none of the cross-pelvis stringing in some bodies that may cause posing problems.

 

I had to wait ~4 months give or take a little, I think exact dates are on the waiting list. I did order clothes from them so that may have affected things a little. Nothing too crazy but I may consider hybridizing heads from them since I personally find the thigh mobility a little weird to work with.

 

Thanks a lot, one other question, I got some wire as a gift with the MGB body, is there a spot you recommend it for? I was probably going to use it in the shoulder and neck joints but I wasn't sure if that's the most effective spot.

 

@Haven_Of_Dolls336 My MGB orders never had wire, so unfortunately I cannot help you with that. I sueded my own dolls, so they never needed the wire to pose.

 

That's fine don't worry

 

A quick pic of my new Darlene, Pyxie. She’s a shell of another of my game characters, this one from Hunter the Reckoning.

 

@Iron_Dog : Thanks for showing me your prototype head. (Sorry for my super late reply life suddenly got super hectic.) It is a very cool looking head. I really like the ears and chin shape. What scale is it? Other then finding a body do you have any plans for customization?

 

I just got an email from Alice Collections they send me my order:Ransom,blank!
I honestly didn't aspect this,3 months in total even though they told me it would take 4-6 months.
I'm so relieved now I just have to wait until it arrives at customs
I do have a question though I'm planning on buying a resinsoul yang as his boyfriend but I wonder what does a resinsoul on the bigger boy body(Not to be confused with the yi body) look like next to a 72 cm idol?I tried google,flickr and doa but alas no result found,thanks in advance.

 

@Shawir I love your Darlene, she's so colourful. Did you do the faceup yourself? Also, is that one of their brown skins or one of the tans? I'm hoping to get a dark skinned girl from them (to shell a Southeast Asian character) and I want to avoid the orangeyness of some tans.

@sylvesther I'm curious about this too! I wanted to replace my Spiritdoll Proud body with a Resinsoul body because I want something more in scale beside an Impldoll Idol. But so far everywhere I look seems to suggest it won't be proportionate.

Also, I regret and hate my Idolman choice of body. His bootay is too hard to sew for! (Is working on a top secret project and has had to take one too many measurements of Massimo's bootay as a result).

 

the secret is all in the back yoke of the pants, if you're trying to sew pants without a back yoke there's your problem right there

 

Thanks! I did paint her, though I already redid her faceup. No photos yet, though. She’s in the brown skin.

 

my ransom arrived yesterday! say hello to my future Thranduil:

Naamloos

 

As a Thranduil stan, that's an excellent choice of sculpt. Are you planning on getting jointed hands for him?

 

Seconded. I really want to see what you do with him!
