1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Sartoria J Design Group - Part 2

Nov 22, 2020

    1. Final...for sure....
      And some of the sculpts were only offered...once. :huh?:
      And...we only have nine days...to gather up the funds to do whatever we want to do.*_*

    2. If we could buy just heads, Iโ€™d try and buy one, but Iโ€™m out of budget for a full doll :...(

      I guess Iโ€™m never going to own a Yu unless she pops out on the secondary market.

    4. Oof... I'm glad I may have at least another opportunity to get Jenice or Sarah. Really not in my budget right now.

      My plan is to upgrade my LS Emily (in my avatar). I feel like Jenice is stylistically closer to the Emily sculpt, but Sarah might be closer to the amount of aesthetic sass that I picture her character having. (Fingers crossed for a head sale. I would buy both... and probably extras, because I often find myself wanting to have multiple faceups on the same head.)
       
    5. I'm disappointed they won't sell the sculpts they are discontinuing as heads in this last ordering period. The Sartoriaj bodies are not my favorites but the facial sculpts are gorgeous and I would buy a bunch of them if they offered them as heads only in the discontinuation sale. :(

    6. The response I got, for what it's worth:

      "Unfortunately all the dolls are sold as full dolls with only one head.
      One of the main reasons we are discontinuing some of the dolls is because it is too hard to handle many sculpts.
      If we offer extra heads, discontinuing some of the molds won't make any differences and hope you can understand.

      Sorry for the short notice and next time, we will notice it sooner."
       
    7. I don't think Jay understood that we were thinking of this one time only as the discontinued face sculpt. I think it was interpreted as always selling heads. At least that's how I read it to be. Interesting.

    8. I'm wondering that myself. I thought I was pretty clear with the wording of my question, though.
      Has anyone else tried?

    9. I haven't yet. I was waiting to see what others that I know had asked came back to say. I didn't want to be asking the same thing others were. But now this got me thinking.

    10. I think it could help for multiple people to be asking as long as it's not the same person asking over and over again. I sent him an Etsy message with a more clarified question. He usually takes a few days to respond on Etsy so others may have a better method to reach him.
       
    11. Yes, I agree. At the moment they are close for the weekend.

    12. I got the same answer and had exactly the same feeling one the way they interpreted our request, okay, I'm a bored person so I will go and ask again, hoping they could understand what did we really wanted to :sweat

    13. Can anyone share pictures of their Sartoria dolls in different skin tones (especially the Warm Ivory and the Peach Cream) with dolls from other companies? I want to get a Yvonne and put her head onto a Limwha EOS girl body that I have, but because of the lack of information about skintones I don't know what color to select. And since they're only selling them as full dolls, not heads alone, I can't just take a gamble or get two heads and sell one off.

    14. The Warm Ivory is creamy white. I don't have a Peach Cream doll but I am wondering what it compares to also. What color is your Limhwa body?
       
    15. okay. I got the latest PG color from Iple body with an original Jude old PC color ( dark brown hair ) next to the lastest ELF Jude (blond) newer Peach cream color.

      I hope this helps.

      I don't have any new WI but I do have one pic with a Iplehouse RS Wendy and the original WI 71 ELF Jude if you are interested.

    16. Here is a Warm Ivory Yvonne (on the right) she is next to a mellowed NS Iplehouse Doria...both ladies are on newer NS Iplehouse HID bodies in this photo...

    17. So it looks like Warm Ivory is a decent match for Iplehouse NS. I have some Iple NS here, and that matches this EOS Girl body fairly well, so I guess that solves my problem, thank you!

    18. Does anyone have a Zeus body AND an ID72 ?
      Would love to see a pic for body size comparison

      Possibly, but I think Iple's White skin may be a better match for Sartoria's Warm Ivory. I don't have an unchanged Iple WS doll (my only WS had mellowed so I didn't want to use it for comparison), but I do have a pretty much unchanged Iple NS and Sartoria WI. Here's the Iple Normal Skin (Elf Grace). I'll post the Sartoria Warm Ivory in the next post. BTW, they were taken in the exact same lighting, same position on my floor, within a minute apart under indoor natural lighting.
       
    20. And here's Sartoria J's Warm Ivory (Serena).
      [​IMG]
      Her skin color has next to no color in it (like a sheet of white paper) while Iple's Normal Skin does have a light hint of pink.
