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 was expecting a six month turnaround as that seems to be the "norm" for these dolls in my experience. I did message Jay last week and he said it would be late July, and I ordered in December, so that's closer to the 7-8month mark which is what others in the waiting room thread have been getting as well. It seems there is also a backlog of faceups, so if you got yours blank it may be faster, but otherwise I wouldn't be surprised if it's later than Sept if you ordered in March, unfortunately.
       
    2. @Onkani Jay told me the same about Sienna, problems with the production line. Well, she did arrive in the end, and she is worth the long wait. But I can understand your frustration well. I had hoped he had sorted out the problem by now.
       
    3. I can relate your feeling. I didn’t place any order recently because of the waiting time, which goes worst with the delayed shipping due to pandemic. My recent orders took from 6 to 8 months to be complete which made me very nervous. (Im not accusing anyone just found this quite long compare with my other orders from different companies) I love S.Laura and was having money ready to pay, but hesitate when i was told that my Matias will only be ready in August. :( Their dolls are amazing and I know my Matias and Jude (which I placed in April) will worth waiting. Well, This will give me an opportunity to reconsider my collection. :sweat
       
    4. My Matias is still awaiting face-up so I know it will be a while on him but it gave me the opportunity to request changes to his face-up so it's all good.

    6. My wallet is crying, loudly.
       
    7. I don't know I feel about green...I'll have to see pictures. But the new body sounds interesting!
       
    8. Green? Omg ... I am SO doomed!
       
    9. Im so curious about new body. Interesting how it will look.
      I still dont find time, or is my lazines not let me work on Jarrad clothes.
       
    10. Dang...and I just purchased S. Laura yesterday. Wouldn't it have been interesting to offer the green tone with a mermaid sculpt?
      And OMG Elf NAOMI??? I have a Naomi and she's stunning!

    11. If that “slim and toned” body has more muscles than the Iplehouse Hid girls, I’m doomed…

    12. Elf Lobelia AND Sarah are both going to be available! :pout: I am sooo screwed. My wallet can't take this! :shudder
       
    13. And a new scuplt! Agnes. So curious to see what she will look like.
      I think I'm pretty safe, unless the new body really appeals to me (which it very well might), but if it is offered seperately then that might be my go to. That and the weapons.

      If Juliet was being released as an elf in 45 I might be tempted....but my wallet also needs a break. So hoping that nothing is too tempting this time around.
       
    14. MSD Juliet is a long long dream of mine, but damn I don't know how much wallet can handle it, unless I sell someone...

      Thanks for support, guys, I already reconciled with my doom and I know that Jenice is worth of waiting. She has a sculpt I wanted for so so long...

      A question about hybrids: which bodies apart from their own go well with 61 girls? I know that Feeple65 is nice, and I've heard Iplehouse SID too - which one? New or old? Any info will be appreciated!
       
    15. Yes, so curious about those new MSD/SD Limited Elves in special misty gray. :aeyepop: I wonder what the difference will be to the fog gray resin. And I also wonder if my wallet will cry. Probably.. :XD:

      Edit: Wait, wasn't it "MIsty Green" before and not "Misty Gray" or did I dream that...? Bit confused now.
       
    16. Well then you are lucky this time around and she is only being released as an SD. Which is also my savings as I loooooove her as an MSD elf!!!!!
       
    17. @Amadiel I have heard that it is a grey that has green and blue undertones. I had initially felt that it would be a minty type of pastel green...but now I'm not sure. Can't wait to see what it looks like! I was also initially feeling that I might be able to avoid a purchase, but having thought about it now for a couple days, a beautiful MSD elf in a fantasy colour....gah! It is unfortunate that I haven't been able to limit myself to just one size of doll.....

    18. SJ confirmed on instagram the new colour is going to be gray with green and blue hues, so sort of both!

      I am safe this summer since I wanted an elf Juliet in SD size in warm ivory, but they are only doing her in the special fantasy colour. The new body may be nice, but I don't exactly need more floating bodies without a suitable head as I have a cabinet full of headless bodies already. :XD:

    19. @cyranstar it was so hard for me not to push the buy button on S.Laura. I didn't think a mermaid would tempt me. But I kept looking at her picture and I love her haughty look. Did you get her with the face-up or will you pursue a different artist or perhaps yourself? Please post when you eventually get her! I am hoping that she will be re-released at some point in the future. Maybe during a summer special sale in a fantasy colour! (if SartoriaJ keeps up with this trend!)
       
    20. @vauhtikatti it would be my dream to have more floating bodies than heads!
