Sartoria J Design Group - Part 2

Are you having long manufacturing times with Sartoriaj? I've been getting most of my dolls in less than 4 months over the last year. (My Matthias order from 11/20 shipped last week.) One outlier has taken 8 months.

 

Then you have been lucky. Most of use have seen from 6 - 10 months.

But,

the end result have been totally worth it.

 

@Bren - Matias may have been release big only once...I was thinking there was some event later that included his closed mouth sculpt in the drop down menu...but I may be dreaming.

I agree it's unfortunate that Jude is no more...he was a versatile sculpt and I always looked forward to seeing new faceups on him.

Having sculpts so LIMITED. is sort of bad because many people who do their own faceups often buy a sculpt after they've seen some owner's photos. So, it benefits a sculpt to be out there a while...to allow customers to receive it and time for people to customize blanks they buy after seeing more of it.

And nice to see your Demian again!

@Ardent - Your Elf Lobelia is gorgeous! Amazing the Adrian faceup looks so great on her...I never would have made that combination.

And shipping times are getting closer to 8 months...for me.

 

@Ardent I love seeing your Lobelia. I would never have thought to use Adrian’s makeup. It looks phenomenal.
@Bren I think I waited 8 months for my three Mintonettes, the last of which is supposedly on her way. I have two in hand. Yikes. I hadn’t really thought about how long this is taking now.

 

Woohoo everyone! Behold my OOAK Angela, misty grey skin, dressed in something I had on hand. She'll get a custom outfit asap.

 

@Frillseeker,

She is a real beauty. Love her in that color and what a fun summer outfit.

 

@Frillseeker - Congratulations! Your Angela is very pretty! I also love the little shorts she is wearing.

 

Oh I mean I like knowing who a doll is before buying them, or at least a rough approximation, the athletic body is a lovely body imo. Beautiful Demian though

 

I totally lost track here ... so many beautiful dolls! Matias, Demian, Lobelia, Angela - love seeing their pictures! Thanks for showing them, this thread is often so quiet for long periods ^^

As for the new dolls - I would love Laura, I really like that mold. But I am so totally out of room for big dolls so I hope there will be a few MSDs too!

 

I'm glad to be seeing owner pictures of the gray elves from summer...but that tells you the wait time right there, that was July I think and we're now in March. Still, they are beautiful dolls.

I'm really hoping they open "standard dolls" for SD soon, and not just MSD, I've been waiting on a chance to buy Silvia for a long time now (not that it's a guarantee she'd be one on offer....)

 

@Ardent it just seemed to me that the wait time was getting longer, that's all. If I had my way it'd only take a month to get the dolls.

These Misty Gray elves are gorgeous. @Frillseeker, your Angela is beautifully done, congrats! I also love @Bren's Demian. That guy is beautiful.

 

De-lurking in this thread to chime in that I'm also still waiting on a Misty Gray Elf Naomi I ordered in August~ About 7-8 months so far? Long Wait, but will be worth it! I'm so excited to see the misty gray releases!

Hello! I'm really interested in carob brown skin. This will be my first Sartoriaj doll. I also asked same question and he said 3-4 months without make up. I've posted his message!

If you order SD size Carob Brown doll now, it will take about 3~4 months without make up.

And if you add make up it will take additional one more months.

For reference, SD size dolls takes about 4~7 months now.

In case of elves, it took more time than other human dolls and we are sending them out in about 7~8 months.

But in case of other dolls, we are sending them sooner in about 3~4 months.


In case of MSD dolls, it takes about 7 months but we are trying to reduce the time period to 5 months.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I will get back to you soon.

It's funny that they call this series "The Fifth Season". About the same time they released pictures of the dolls that would run under that banner, I was searching for books to read, and a series came up called 'The Broken Earth", and the first book of the series is called 'The Fifth Season'. It sounded interesting to me and I haven't downloaded it yet, but the premise of the story seems to coincide with the aesthetic of these dolls. So I'm quietly wondering if these dolls are potentially inspired/based on this trilogy.....

 

Thanks @Haven_Of_Dolls336 and @oriscany for Demian. It took me a little while to find his looks. I'm quite pleased how he turned out.

My SD Elf Naomi also arrived with the new MTN Body and I just love it. It's my favorite body of SJ for the girls.

 

@Bren she is beautiful i still waiting my MTN bell size bust Vittoria where I ordered her in November :-) but I ordered her on layaway si next month is last payment and on my order is writing before shipment.
I cant wait to see this body in real.
That blue wig really fits

 

Thank you. I thought of her as a red head, but none of the wigs would fit and I found this one and it seems to work for her.

This body has the bell bust. It seems more natural looking to me than the Aphrodite one that I have.
I like it better.

Yep. This is the body that I really like the best. Very sleek looking.



You will see a bit of a difference in their Peach Cream Fomula. Both her and Demian is PC, but it's really different.
Demian is more peachy pink like than Naomi, she's more yellowish. He came first and she's my latest one that arrived.

 

@Bren I like this body on picture, but I love curvy aphrodite body as well.
Wow, skin colour is so different and it's really visible.

 

Thank you for posting this, good to hear his expectations.

I received Elf Adrian with makeup in 3 months, Elf Juliet with makeup in 4 months, Elf Jude with makeup in 8 months (quite the difference!) and Matthias is shipped and should arrive just before the 4 month mark.

I wonder if certain skin colors are faster than the others? Maybe the most popular skin color in a given order period gets made and shipped first?
