Iplehouse Discussion (YID, nYID, SID, EID, HID) Part 13

@Olga Borontova Thanks

@Quiet and Insane Thanks!! and from what I know there's no significal difference between light and dark brown (for now I guess), but Leonard in this darker skintone is definitely amazing.

 

@Khlovera Thanks❣️ Yes, they are glow peach gold.
Love your photo of Maxx & Moon

 

No, even the comparison photos on Iplehouse's site show minimal difference, but it doesn't really matter. He's extremely handsome and I'm super happy with how he's working out for me so far, so that's excellent for me!

 

Did anyone else notice that there are sculpts suddenly missing from Doll Choice?? I went to look at placing an order for an SID Man, and Alberto was missing! I was finally ready!

I am just in shock because Iplehouse usually is good about announcing what is being discontinued, like how they just posted about no longer offering hand blushing.

I hope maybe they are just limiting sculpt availability during the Winter Event for some reason. I do have an inquiry in, but right now my spirit is crushed.

 

I wonder if something happened to his casting mold? I'm not seeing anyone else missing though they have Dane listed twice so one of him might be meant to be Dean? Someone should poke the Q&A board about the missing head and the double of one.

 

@Miss_Pygmalion - A few of us were just talking about this in the WR thread, yeah. Not amused that they didn't give us any warning or explanation so far. And perhaps the oddest fact is that they removed Bella and Elle, even though they're currently available through the Limited section.

 

I do have an ask in about Alberto, specifically.

I also seem to recall that until recently, you could mix and match a bit more in DC?? Like, you could get SID men on EID lady bodies, for example. Because I had previously put out inquiries in other places about a possible joint order if someone wanted a body, and the SID man head had several body options.

 

Well... I got a reply.

"Hello,

We thank you for loving our dolls so much. We hope we could fix the mold tool and keep making some dolls, but it's too hard to keep the old mold tools in our manufacture team since there is no many orders.

Thank you.
Iplehouse"

Sounds like they decided to retire some molds without any notice. My heart is broken.

 

Damn, I'd hope to get him one day myself too.

 

That's such a really bad news to us...We don't even have time to do a last chance order...
It's weird as we can still order Claude as sid man but couldn't have him available via DC with EID,HID woman body anymore, that's strange...
And...Barahan is gone

 

I do understand that silicone molds do deteriorate over time... but this still feels a bit out of character for Iplehouse. They've been very good about announcing things like this in the past.
Even if they did it without an opportunity to order at the last minute, a Notice would have been nice.

"It is with great regret we must tell you that some of our molds are no longer usable. We are removing the following sculpts from our site immediately. We are sorry, it can no longer be ordered."

Something to that effect. While sad, at least it wouldn't have blindsided us when we went to look for them and found them gone.

 

Hello all! Has anyone ordered an Ebony skin doll during the holiday event? I wanted to as it states it’s available but there’s no drop down option for Ebony.
I’m confused!

 

by the way.. do they stop making FID size anymore?

 

I still don't understand the logic of having Doll Choice in HID female size and yet no HID female sculpts are offered? The Limited Versions are rarely offered...so what about all the other times? You are not able to get a HID female in say LB resin?

And if you wanted a HID female as an EID or SID...nope...not offered.

The HID men are still offered in DC....So it just isn't logical.

While I'm here...a recent photo of an older sculpt.

So. . . Dane is tempting me. . . . I need help T__T. I am SO gonna go over budget on this.

 

I own two different Danes so I am clearly not the one to help stop you.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen lol. Also, why does he make such a good werewolf? Like I'm pretty sure there's a couple other people who have werewolf characters they shelled with him. Mine's gonna be one too . . which is why I need to get both the fantasy head and the regular head. . this is why I'm going over budget.

 

He makes a lot of good fantasy things, for that matter. My "Warrrior Dane" I made into a PC of mine from VtM Gideon, he's a jazz singer and a vampire. Mean while my fantasy/vampire Dane I made into a Fairy Prince I named Roxest.

I am sure I shared this pic of Gid's and Roxest before, but here it is again
(Gideon is the one with black hair.)

 

They're both so freaking beautiful. I think he's got a good bone structure for non-human even without the fantasy head going on. How do you like the Model body?

 

I agree about the bone structure thing, like I feel even mouth shut Gideon still could have fangs based on jaw and lip shapes. /shrug

To be honest I love the new SID model boys and girls, I never want to go back to the other bodies again. The model ones have spoiled me. Now I do still love all my YIDs, EIDs, so forth and so on, but when it comes to getting new IH dolls it's new models from now on all the way. If you check my dolls I own list here all my SIDs, save for my first one are on the model bods.
As much as I adore EID Ron and want one, in truth I will never get a second EID male. It's not about size, but posing issues for that body style. Same for the old SID males. YIDs if the right new mold comes out I might buy, but otherwise sticking to SID models or pass as a rule for IH. (Kinda helps me keep the wallet from crying, kinda)
