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. I really hope 7-8 months will not be their standard waiting time now.
       
    2. I love her "thou art beneath me" expression. I am so screwed if the summer resin color is blue... I have a DnD character that she would be great for.
       
    3. Laura is lovely as a human. The mermaid pictures make me cringe though - they look like a mix of porn star + crime scene photos.
       
    4. The human Laura reminds me a lot of Iplehouse's Bella. A young Bella, maybe, since she's got that innocent look. :)
       
    5. I really prefer human Laura, mostly because sculpts with tongues sticking out have never been my thing (I feel I would get tired of it pretty fast).

      I do appreciate that they offer the option of getting both heads, though.
       
    6. Agree, human Laura is lovely. Mermaid Laura's styling looks a little to much like Ariel for my personal taste. I would be interested to see a great face up artists interpretation and push the scales etc.
       
    7. I was trying to figure out why she looked familiar! She also looks like a celebrity but I can't think of who haha
       
    8. This my Yvonne and she is on an Iplehouse SID new body which is a perfect fit. Her ears were modded into elf ears with face-up by Angeltoast. She is the older, larger, version of the head.

    9. Oh what a gorgeous faceup and I love the eyes and the wig

    10. She looks amazing! Love the freckles

    11. Wow, she's gorgeous! I love how the colour of her eyes just pops against the dark eye make up. :D

    12. Of course I become interested in Jarrad now after he was discontinued, grrrr! Feel like the universe once again wanted to tell me to drop that project after I already tried it years ago :lol:
      And he didn't seem to be popular enough to pop up regularly secondhand, my luck.

      Still very sad that to this day Sartoria doesn't have a non-orange brown. Matias would have been absolutely perfect in something closer to the Iplehouse light brown tan :pout:
      But I just can't deal with the orange.

    13. Laura is really pretty, but I'm mildly annoyed with how she's being marketed. What do mermaids, or the story of the Little Mermaid (Disney or otherwise) have to do with Tarot? I feel like everything about her is a stretch. (Totally agree that the faceup could have been more dramatic.)
       
    14. I'm not overly well versed on tarot, but I do know that "the Star" is a water sign and that could be the connection. Typically, the card depicts a maiden (usually nude) pouring water from a vessel. A literal translation of that would be pretty basic; I'm sure that's why we got the glamorous mermaid. I think it's a clever thing to do: satisfy the theme AND give the collectors something they've been vocal about, namely more fantasy sculpts. The offering of a second head is just icing on the (fish)cake (sorry, couldn't resist!!) :XD:

    15. Ok! Yeah. I can see it from that perspective. I didn't know Tarot had elements.

      ROFL. Fishcake. Yass.

    16. @Mahgiep He looks amazing. Jay said they will re-release him as MSD, but that was before the Tarot-line. I really hope they do!

    17. Hello everyone! A Jenice waiting person here. I dont know about production time before, I got the doll in March (in split but I'm hosting it so feel responsible for the whole doll) and I was realy dissapointed: Jay told me the problem with priduction time was singular (with Vittoria as I remmemer) and we would get our doll in July - beggining of August. I left a question on Q&A board and asked if the doll will be shipped on time, and Jay told me our Jenice will be sent only on the mid September! Agh... She did offer a refund if I dont want to wait, but I want Jenice so much - she has an ideal sculpt for me.

      Any way just came here to rant :(
