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 3

Jun 26, 2023

    1. Yeah I know they do I just thought it couldn't be something that obvious :XD:. I thought they'd just have loads of eyes rolling around :sweat
       
    2. Jay told me small Evelyn needs 10mm eyes with 3mm iris. Ok, that is small.
       
    3. QUICK!!!! go to the SJ site, they are offering all the circus dolls in MSD size!!!
       
    4. Well SJ has now offered the circus dolls in the smaller MSD size.

    5. Have you noticed that Evelyn´s wig is now offered, made by Amadiz? Normally I would rejoice, but when I remember that I waited for Amadiz wigs from etsy or their website often almost a year that doesn´t exactly fill me with confidence.

    6. * Yells like head is going tto explode. *
      :sigh I'm going to try my best to not think about this for a while.
       
    7. I had such eyes made by Ashuradark. Really good quality - clear and detailed. I might still have one pair at home.
       
    8. I'm not sure about their qiality either...

    9. *deep breaths*

      I don't need MSDs, I don't collect MSDs, my wallet has suffered enough.

      (they're so pretty though :love)

    10. Yeah, I have ordered from Amadiz several times with their ready to ship stuff and it's relatively quick. BUT I'll just say I think the quality of their wigs has severely decreased in the last few years. The wigs I ordered from earlier this year barely have any wefts glued on the head cap, if the hair isn't placed exactly right you can see the huge gaps between the wefts.

      But maybe the maker has hired some help and turned things around, not speaking ill just warning anyone thinking about it.

    11. Sartoriaj should have enough of my money this year, but man is Evelyn tempting me! She's even got the same name as one of my nieces haha
       
    12. I was considering ordering the wig but this is giving pause. I don't mind spending a lot on wigs as long as the quality is there. I'd rather not take a risk on a $150 wig. I've found someone that makes excellent quality alpaca wigs for the minis but I'd like something a bit different as nearly all my girls have alpaca wigs.

    13. I can DM you some pictures if you'd like; obviously I can only speak to the wigs I've received and my own experience. I want to be clear I don't think Amadiz is terrible or no one should order from them, I just don't think their pricing matches their quality anymore.

      I have about 6 wigs from them, for context, purchased intermittently over 5 years.
       
    14. Yes, that would be helpful thanks!

    17. Sooo Jay confirmed that my girl will be shipped out in the end of Septermber. I asked to have her ears pierced and Sartoria kindly agreed.

      TBH I regret of not getting Evelyn. I know the more time will pass the more I will regret it. *sigh* oh well I still have Jenice in my wishlist.

    18. Wow I love Edgar, and the Louis fit is fire! Jay needs to slow down this year haha, I need a break! 3 years ago I had 2 dolls and I'm now at 11, 8 of those being Sartoriaj :lol:

    19. Oh....Edgar with a smirk/raised eyebrow is getting my, attention :wiggle:love but, then I also like the soft Edgar too (what's a woman to do?):aeyepop::drool buy them! :lol:
      I wonder how many dolls they will be offering in this series. Hmmm......I'd like to see "all" before I make a decision.

    20. @susieagent99 Yes I love both versions! I just purchased Agnes though, so I really, truly need to slow down on dolls this year. (If I do purchase him everyone pretend I was good! :lol:) I think I'm gonna just have to hope Jay re-releases him at some point. I will need everyone who does get him to send tons of pictures!

      And yes while I understand the marketing strategy of collectibles, and keeping people buying with limited releases and small sales periods to encourage impulsivity, I don't love it. Makes smart purchasing as a buyer very hard. Such is the life of a BJD collector! haha
