ImplDoll; Imp Child 43cm Discussion

Wow, I just discovered this thread! I have a xiaowei head (ws) that I put on a modded Resin Soul Lan (40cm) body. The fit is great, and the color difference is somewhat noticeable, but it works with the white wig.

Here is Kazuma. I did the face up myself (need more practice, but it'll do for now).


Humm, so finding shoes for Impldoll is as difficult as Resin Soul. That's why I haven't found any yet!

 

I have a Xiaowei too!
She's "real skin", and I don't know yet whether I prefer her human or fox head.



(She's wearing the human one at the moment because I arsed up the faceup on the fox head...)

I've found that 12mm eyes are way too small, but 14mm with domed irises are also sitting too far back from her eye lids (14mm in the picture). I might have to do an addition mod to the inside of her eyes, as Impldoll has already bevelled them.

Also, I've been sewing clothing for her myself, and couldn't find any patterns for her, so I drafted a sloper pattern - If anyone is interested, I can scan and post it.

 

Witchylana -Your xiaowei is very beautiful. I really like her wig -braids! You can still see some of the fox in the human head -just different ears and lips.

I bought mine second hand and he only came with the tail -the claw hands would have been really nice, lol. The head was very yellowed so I had to do a deep cleaning to get it back to white.

 

woo hoo xiaowei spam! i can't wait until i have a little money to fix up my xiaowei boy, then i'll get to post here ^^

 

I just got a used Yolanda! I am now looking for information on her clothes size and shoes she is currently naked and needs new eyes and new eye putty any information would be wonderful I am very new to this type of doll! She is my first!

 

Hello and Welcome to the thread! Are you new to BJD's or to this sized doll?

Child Impldolls are on the skinny side. I'm not sure about other owners, but I enjoy buying clothes from Alice's Collections. They have outfits that if you give them your doll's measurements, they can make the clothes to size without any extra cost.

Shoes are a little harder to find to fit. Their feet are a little small. Try to look for shoes that dont go any more than 5.5 to 6.0cm cuz then it will be too big. And you will probably have to use socks to keep them on better too. I've bought my boy shoes from AC as well. Sometimes its the right length but may be too wide...

I like to use silicon ear plugs as eye putty. Easy to replace and not very expensive. You may or may not know this but dont ever use polymer clay as putty. It will melt doll eyes out of the doll's head and possibly eat at the resin. Bad bad bad!

Another thing I do and have done is use basic wide rubberbands and wrapped them a couple of times around the doll's head, placing it on part of the forehead and at the base of the neck. Its a quick replacement when you dont have a silicon wig cap to help hold the wig on the head. You can use sticky velcro too, but I always fear a reaction between the glue and the resin.

Anyway, hope I helped you a little! Please share pictures of your new girl!

 

just fixed my xiaowei boy's wrist joint, put a lot of hot glue in there and now he has way more motion than he had before. i'm also painting his face the more i do with him the more i like him! when i finish his face i'll post it here.

@Witchylana, your girl is gorgeous! the wig and face-up combo are so cute together!

 

here's my cutie! he really needs a name and i botched his face-up when i went eyebrow crazy but i like hims a lot more now that he's painted and i've found a stand-in wig while i decided more about him.

 

love the pictures of the Xaowei's!

 

He looks awesome, Congrats! I love the colors around his eyes and his wig. I'm too chicken to try doing face-ups on my own

 

@JediSpiceGissia, thanks you should give face-ups a try one day, they aren't that scary and for me it really helps me bond with the doll.

 

queen_margaret_anne -Your xaowei's face up is very nice! I really like the colors you used, they make him so different than what I've seen before. Very bright and attractive.

 

Hi everyone - I've been wanting Xaiowei for ages now but I'd really love to see her head (human) blank ... I've searched the forum but not had any luck so I figured I'd just ask in here, since everyone seems to be doing their own faceups maybe I'll get lucky and someone would have taken a pic before they started
I'm thinking of getting an extra body - I have a little story for the fox head seperately

 

I hope to soon. I have been looking at information on how to do it properly. One of the good things is that if you do mess it up, you can start over

Haven't really posted in a while and I think I may have a new girlfriend for my Impldoll boy. He's really girl-crazy, so being a teenager he has a new "true love' every couple of weeks, LOL! She is a Fairyland Minifee Juri 2008 model.


A new friendship? by JediSpiceGissia, on Flickr

 

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the correct thread for this, please direct me if I'm not.^_^ But I'd like to ask some help telling which skin color my bodies/body parts are:



(Please click here for bigger view.)

No. 1 is a Real Skin body I got from impldoll around February. At least, I thought it was Real Skin because they made a mistake and sent a Pink Skin left forearm with it. The forearm was a closer match to the head I was trying to hybridize so I got a Pink Skin body (No. 2) around March. There was again some problem with the forearms and impldoll offered to send me replacements if I pay for shipping. Since it wasn't anything big, I decided to let it pass (shipping was going to be $22.@_@)

Well, I want to move my head into an Impl-Youth body now so I asked impldoll if I can take them up on their offer. They sent me a Pink Skin arm (No. 3) and Real Skin arm (No.4). I was...shocked to say the least about the difference in colors. I don't think my Pink Skin body has yellowed, but the Pink Skin arm they sent is definitely pinkier. And the Real Skin arm definitely doesn't match my Real Skin body. Or what I thought was Real Skin anyway."orz

Do Impldoll colors differ from batch to batch? They didn't change their Real Skin recently, did they? I really want to sell both bodies to get the Impl-Youth body, but I don't know what skin colors to mark them, and whether they have yellowed or not."orz Any and all help would be very much appreciated!

Edit: I just checked the Impldoll resin matching thread and it says "The newer WS is less translucent, and juuust a hair pinker." Could No.1 be actually White Skin? It's more yellow-tinted than pink though, honestly. And now I'm worried if my Pink Skin body is actually White Skin.orz I don't know any other impldoll owners to compare with so I'd really appreciate any help.

 

Oh, thank you very much for the comparsion pics. And I'm sorry for the late reply, my summer was very hectic.

Anyway, I would like to send you a photo of my beloved "posh totty" Flavian. Hope you'll like this different style of Eddy. (He will get a light auburn mohair wig soon.)

 

I finally got around to fixing Xiaowei's gappy (human) eyes - I've posted a tut here
FrozenRose - I had to wipe her face first, so the photos are of her blank.

Also - I have to say nice things about Impldolls customer care - Xiaowei fell off my desk a couple of months ago (totally my fault - don't stand your doll then leave the room, especially if you have cats) and broke two fingers completely off.
Impldoll offered me free replacement hands (I just had to pay for postage)
YAY!

 

Do you have some current pics of your doll? Would love to see!

I do love Impldoll They are who I got my very 1st BJD doll from and I still love him so so much. I was interested in them because of the good prices and I had heard very good things about them. I was not disappointed at all! Still hoping to add more of their models to my collection!

 

He's lovely, Please post more

 

My boys are finally back from their face-up trip! They came out so great! I was so excited to get them home! Sadly, Corn doesn't have eyes yet, so I won't be able to take pictures of him until he does! So, I took some of Lev!
