IMPLDOLL Young 46cm Mini Discussion.

Good luck on your order as well! I hope it comes fast for us both.

 

Awesome! Did you get her with the default face up? I can't wait to see her!

I have to say ImplDoll never really interested me until I saw Adela. My heart melted at her sweet, adorable face. I love her ears. Her horn is cute, but I don't like sculpting that it is coming out of. It looks like she has...well, a lady part on her forehead Perhaps a wig with bangs would help. She is on my wishlist regardless.

 

I didnt, I plan on doing her face-up myself. Mostly because I have plans for her being dark red or dark purple accented. Personally, I like the horn tho. If you look at the boy (Devin) with a similar horn I think its actually suppose to fit upside down. Her face is gorgeous though. The most stunning sculpt I've seen so far (and I'm already looking for my next doll). So I will post an box opening when she comes and link it here if you want to see.

 

It's been over 3 weeks since my boy arrived, so it's about time I started posting some pictures I've taken up till now for those of you hoping to see some Sam spam!

Here's the first my of dear deer boy, who's still nameless:


Baakay: I've found the magnets for his horns will work, even with a wig and wig cap, though they're somewhat weak.
I stuck the bigger ones (to the inside) of his headcap with a piece of tape, and used 2 of the small magnets on top of eachother for each of the horns.
Tomorrow I want to try sticking the bigger ones under the wig cap instead, but the horns did manage to stay on for the last 2 weeks this way too.

Hope to post more of him here and his box opening in the coming days.

 

I had the same, which is something I have with most dolls at first. That's why I like to take some pictures before (as well as during) giving face-ups and experiment a little to try and find what I like and "see" in a sculpt.


Shortly after he got here, I exprimented with light a bit, and that's when I knew I could capture what I personally love about him.
I'm often amazed by how different dolls look in pictures compared to what you see in real life, like instead of losing dimensions you actually gain whole new ones.

 

Lovely Sam spam...I'm still anxiously awaiting my crew of dolls..can't wait to receive them all and start working on face-ups and clothing. I have a name (I think) for my Greta and possible my Trista, still searching for the boys (Sam and Teno).

 

Well my Sam is definitely a keeper at this point He's gotten a wee bit ignored in the influx of resin (my Hound arrived in the meantime, as did a surprise birthday gift, a Batchix Lagoon!) but when I was trying wigs on him I discovered a squirrelly old orangey-brown furwig from years ago. I've always loved the wig but didn't find anyone to look good in it... when I put it on him it was ALL OVER. I did decide to deepsix the front tuft though. Not really convinced about that.

Now to give him a face-and-hoof-up!

 

Thanks Kitty Blue! Gosh I can understand how excited and anxious you must be with all of them coming pretty soon, and with the prospect of so much fun work ahead of you!

Some more explorational Sam-spam from before his face-up. I’ve started on that and now need to finish the final part and start on his body and hooves next.


Bakaay: How great that you and Sam are getting along!
The wig thing sounds pretty familiar here too: I had a dollmore wig that I liked but thought I’d never be able to use, because on all my other dolls it looked like it had too many layers on top. But with the shape of Sam’s head I think it just looks nearly perfect for what I had in mind for him.
Hope you’ll post pictures of your boy when you’re ready to!

 

Your sam is extremely handsome. I wasn't fond of him until I saw these pictures and here I am trying to convince myself I don't need another doll. Well I don't mind that being in vain as much as my budget does.

 

Hello Wolfboy!

I like your Sam very much. Could I ask you some questions about him?
Is your Sam in pink skin or in real skin? Could you show some photos of your Sam in day light or in bright light? How mobile (flexible) are joints of Sam's back legs?

 

Thanks Kaleai and Gael!
My Sam is in pink skin. I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow and post his boxopening pictures so you can see a bit more of him in daylight conditions.

His hind legs are mobile enough for me. I'm o.k. with the amount of mobility in the joint in the hooves. There's a bit less in the 'knee' joint at the moment, but if I wire it, I'm sure that one will hold certain poses better (poses in which his leg is held up straight to the back without touching the floor), but it's not the most crucial joint for me. I still have to check up on 'natural' deer/horse poses a bit to see what kind of movement would be possible in a real animal.

The thigh joint (the one going into the body) is fine, and he can even stand on his hind legs unaided.

One other thing that really impressed me is that there isn't even a smidge of seam to be found on his entire body!
The resin is super smooth, which I've found many people like, personally however I prefer a little tooth to resin, but some extra MSC will help with that.

 

I'm looking forward to see new pictures of Sam. I was pleasantly surprised by you saying that his hind legs, especially the knees joints, are mobile enough. And if you don't mind, could you take some photos of his hind legs in different poses?

 

Long long ago I promised pics of Sam and never got around it.
Today I finally was able to start his blushing... and then the sealer run out XD
He's looking okay thought (still needs 1-3 more layers for the effect I wanna, but...). Oh and the wig is a temporary one ;P

Nice to see other go for a Sam a well >3<
I really like the pic Wolfboy took
That's pink skin? Totally didn't expect that, but I guess it's the lamp lights effect :3

 

Has anyone seen/ does anyone own impldolls newer 46 cm dolls? I have just come accross Adela and I love her!

http://www.impldoll.com/goods.php?id=578

here's a link to her on their site

 

She's a cutie isn't she? She was released early September. At least one person in this thread has ordered her but I don't think she's been shipped out to anyone yet. I definitely plan on getting her too. I had kind of written Impldoll off as a company with sculpts I don't care for until I saw Adela; it was love at first sight

 

More Sam Spam...yay! lol... yep I'm am anxiously awaiting. I still have a way to go they said 8-12 weeks from DDE. Which at the moment is ok since I've been so busy with other stuff lately that my poor dolls have been neglected. I think when I get a free moment or maybe during break at work I'll start sketching out some clothing ideas for all of them.

 

Snowy, I wonder if your Sam in tan skin?

I like Sam more and more with each time I see him. And I'm thinking of going for him.

 

@Gael: Yes, my Sam is in light tan I knew I had to have him the moment I saw him XD I was surprised by the difference of him without the FU when I first unwrapped him, but I totally wouldn't switch him out for any of the other heads XD

I'm hoping to get my colors and sealer soonish (preferably this weekend, but I don't think it will be THAT fast ^^°) Also he really needs to get 'his' wig :3


Hoping to finish my mods on Trista soon (turning him from a deer into a horse )

 

May I ask if there are any owner pictures of Adela now? I'm eager to see pictures of her. =)

 

Just received my Trista and Sam today...and uh well wow they are waaaayy shorter than I expected, I was going by the measurements on their site that says 44/46cm and they are only a mere 39cm tall! So yea I'm not so certain about my 2. On the plus side the resin color combinations are gorgeous. Trista has a dark tan body and normal upper human body and Sam is grey deer body upper white..I may attempt blushing etc just to see, but I'm not certain they are going to fit into the rest of my crew and the characters I had for them. Time will tell.
