Sartoria J Design Group - Part 3

I really like 'prisoner' Edgar but I don't think it's in the cards right now. I am holding out for their winter stuff (they always pull out the big guns then!)

EDIT: @Wittyilynamed It is so true about trying to budget/buy smart. It's very hard!

 

@ryuunohime So true! Basically half my collection is from their winter sales, as I got Vittoria and Eleanor 2? years ago (I'm losing track of time, maybe 3 haha) and Freya, Malena and Philip this last year in the winter sale. Obviously a dangerous time for me

 

Yes, it's nice to know who all will be released during a theme or special sales period.

And I just read that you can get both Edgar heads with one body...just to tempt us more!

I was good this year until the summer sales. (And I didn't get anything last winter for the first time in a while.)

 

I adore Edgar! And I hate SartoriaJ ... every time I lean back, smirk to myself and say "that was the last one" they release another one I fall in love with. Very very tempted right now!

 

Also have to say I really like regular Edgar and his outfit, and appreciate the option to get both heads! They won't work for any of the characters I still want shells for, though. Still tempting. As if I didn't just have to talk myself out of getting Malena a second time...

 

I really like smirky/smug Edgar! like @Ashemanu and @Sianserais ...I have recently ordered from SJ and really shouldn't get any more just yet....dang it. But I am so tempted too...especially since you can get both heads.

 

I feel like this year Sartoriaj has really been on fire haha, maybe its just because they've released a lot of 1/3 dolls and I only purchase SD. But this year has been a tough one to resist all their releases for sure.

 

(sad to say) but, well said. You are right, "impulsivity" I bet is what keeps SJ in business. I do have to say though, "Maya" was a limited that when teased with the blank head, I thought WOW! Then when they put the makeup, I bet I was 1st in line to order her. She is still one of my faves.

That Edgar sure is "cats pajamas" but, I'm not a collector of the "men" I enjoy the ladies MANY colorful and detailed outfits too much, (my dolls are on display) to have a "man" in the house. Though I did buy one (Iple Drake) and had him almost a year and enjoyed him while he was here but.....the ladies said it's time for him to leave Now that I've experienced having a "male" doll, I will not go down that road again, so I'm safe from the impulses of buying Edgar.

 

(LOL) when you go to bed at night, in your prayers, ask to have more will power & self control over the resin addiction.

 

Realized I'd never showed off this outfit! My Eleanor, who is a knight, is rocking it. I just need the Milady de Winter set to come in so she can pose with her lady, my Vittoria haha.

 

It is such a detailed outfit. I love how well it fits your doll. I love all the small details. The hat is amazing.

 

@Anita2006 Yes it's one of my favorite outfits now for sure! Only thing that sucks is that it's all made from thin pleather, so it likely won't hold up long-term. I've had some of my dolls and outfits 10+ years so I hang onto these things for a long time haha.

 

@Wittyilynamed - Wow...that outfit is wonderfully detailed...so beautiful and it looks great on your girl!

 

@Wittyilynamed That outfit looks beautiful! But I guess it was no fun to get her into it And you are unfortunately correct about the material. After 10 years you can forget it ... reason I don´t buy outfits made of this material anymore. But as long as it holds, it´s stunning!

 

@Ashemanu Yes I don't know why I was surprised it was pleather, of course it wouldn't be made out of real leather! But it's still surprising there are no better alternatives in the year 2024.

And yes getting the pants on her made me think of them having to sew Olivia Newton-John into her leather pants for Grease haha. Lots of doll jiggling going on

 

Your lady is looking awesome in that outfit
LOL! You're right about ONJ and her Grease pants
I wonder how many of us remember her in that movie (giggles)

 

Is anyone excited for the 59 body? I love my big-hipped girls but I also love variety!

 

I am! I am wondering if any of my younger looking Iple girl heads would look good on it too. It is nice to have body variety!

 

I am too! I love the idea of a shorter body!

 

The teen Claire sculpt/faceup is adorable too.
