Impldoll Box Opening (sans Bernice)

My Bernice order from September came today!!! Only… without Bernice! ROFL! My gosh, my luck really is epic. I can’t but giggle at this point already. These BJD purchases, they really do find the most imaginative ways to go south. When I was waiting for this parcel I was already envisioning all the things that might possibly go wrong, like Bernice coming with the Idol body instead of the Star one I ordered her with, or the Baby gift doll having a wrong gender body or the bust size being wrong for Bernice… but yeah no, none of the above. I did not foresee that her head would not be there at all. Bernice was the full doll in my order - the main thing - and then I had the extras: Vanessa head and Tank head. Everything else was meticulously there, even down to a couple of gifts and heel feet and what not, but no Bernice! LOL!

Oh well, I did not let that ruin my day. I just mailed Impldoll then and asked what happened. They promised to check on it tomorrow, resend and not to worry. I do believe they will make good. They always have before as well.

Anyways, on to the box opening. Can’t really call this Bernice’s box opening… but we’ll just call is an Impldoll box opening. So here’s the box:

There were two gift outfits in Baby 1/6 size. The pink one is a full one, I think Pinky’s default one and the other one has a hood and a vest, a bit fantasy style both.

The Impldoll certificates and all the resin: Impldoll new Star girl body with small bust in pink (missing the Bernice head), Vanessa head in pink, Tank head in white, Aiden in pink, heel feet for Star body and human leg parts for Baby body.

And here’s Vanessa head now then instead of Bernice on the Star body. Vanessa will be sharing it with my Azalea head and that MIA Bernice head. I think Vanessa look pretty lovely with the Star body proportions, even though she’s meant for the Idol sized body. Her head is VERY small and I prefer the shorter body for her. I had rather low expectations for this Star body, but turns out I really quite like it. I was worried the arms would look like wrestler’s huge manly ones, but I’m ok with them. The hands seem a bit large next to Vanessa’s super small head. I will probably change those for Dollmore model hands or Iple YID ones. I like the small chest part a lot. It looks very relaxed and the bust size it just the way I like it: small. The body's not as cumbersome to pose as I was fearing, in fact it handles really quite nicely: free rotation in the arms, good head tilt, mid torso joint works well, sits well. Legs fight you some with cross stringing in the crotch, but not as badly as I was expecting them to. I still wish the legs would have the open string slots in the front.

Vanessa head profile and more of another angle:

Here's then Vanessa with Baby Aiden. Baby Aiden had very kicky arms, but I immediately wired them and they’re perfect now. He stands ok, a bit wobbly, but mid torso joint functions so well, that it’s still relatively easy to balance him still. He has an adorable look and tons of detail in that super small head of his. This is one of my smallest 1/6 BJDs for sure.

Some comparisons with my Impldoll Idol Chad:

All in all, regardless of Impldoll failure to include Bernice's head in the parcel, I'm very pleased with what I got today. Impldoll was quick about producing this order, it was shipped 2,5 months from the order date 16th of Sept, but this was a 2 month half and half layaway and it was only paid it in full on 16th of Oct. All the goodies were great quality, nothing broken or scratched this time. Now if only Impldoll found that Bernice's head...
