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

    1. Oh, no! I'm sorry.

    2. Oh no :( hopefully it'll arrive there soon and can be re-send quickly! It's always the expensive packages that cause the most troubles... :sigh

    3. Character descriptions are out at least! Very Pirates of the Caribbean :D Edmund screams Barbossa to me. Jack reminds me of Will. And if the sorceress would look like Tia Dalma, I would sell my soul to get her ;) But she will probably be a much sweeter mold! Mainly I am interested in the new muscle body for the girls.

    4. You know how SJ does things, 1 doll 1 week or 10 days, then another single doll for 1 week/10 days (sigh) oh how she likes to keep us guessing. Why not show us ALL the dolls at once? You know they have already been photographed, why keep us waiting?
      (as you can tell, I'm not the patient type when it comes to my hobby) sigh :sigh

    5. @susieagent99 Exactly what annoys the hell out of me. I am not getting younger, my patience runs out together with my life expectancy, so it won´t be my money that pays her bills if I decide to spend it elsewhere :cool:

    6. :wiggle;) I hear ya!
       
    7. I am so impatient that I already blew my money on another doll before they showed the pirates:sweatAt least I held until summer sale, that's an achievement! But another doll could have been gone before they showed pirates to compare and I couldn't risk it. It's hard buying in the market when everyone has limited releases and you have limited money...

    8. Oh no, I ordered the Isabelle outfit and I will be on vacation the last week of August. If they send it in the 3rd August week as they said they would it might arrive exactly when I'm not home. I guess I will write Jay and ask them to hold it off till September.

      I hope there wont be any *must have* outfits with the upcoming release, since I don't want to buy a full set doll at this point.
       
    9. Will your package arrive by Postal?
      Can you put your mail on "hold" while you are on vacation? If so, when it arrives at your local postal, they will hold the package until you come in to pick it up.

    10. I'm gutted that you can't buy just the pirate clothes alone. I love SJ's clothing and waited sooo long to be able to afford one doll so I could get various outfits. Now I have one ordered, I can't buy more clothes for her?! And pirates! I love pirate clothing.

      I do appreciate them trying to manage orders as well as expectations and appreciate the honesty, but it is a shame that those of us who can't afford to drop over £1000 for dolls+clothes+accessories+insane shipping prices+customs fees will miss out.

      At the very least I was hoping to buy some accessories which I can't make, vs clothing which I can I just might be too lazy to do so haha.

      On the plus side, if this timetable sticks for the Versailles dolls, I might get my doll in time for my birthday!

    11. Jay just made me cry ... I thought Captain Blackmoor would be the doll I like less, but omg, he is SO hot! And with everything on the Instagram picture that will easily be 1500$, probably much more ... woah. And still 4 other dolls to go ... :...(

    12. Agreed @Ashemanu , the Captain looks amazing! I keep telling myself no more big dolls, no more big dolls, no more big dolls..................he is definitely a huge temptation though!
       
    13. I just really want to see the new muscle body, so I know if I’m going to do something unadvisable or not. If it’s like the iple HID girl body, where the muscles are barely there, I’ll pass, but if it’s more defined than say, the new impldoll body that reminds me of a dancer, I might just be tempted….

    15. So now we have the two males - and where are the girls? I really did expect all dolls today, and not ANOTHER wait time for a week or whatever. I feel seriously disgruntled right now. This waiting game isn´t exciting or suspenseful anymore, it´s downright annoying. Why cannot all the dolls appear at one time and people can decide which they want? Now we have to wait again. Why? What´s the advantage, certainly none for the buyer. Sorry for the rant, but I feel led around by the nose right now. I really want to plan my finances, preferably without a stretch of nearly two months now. Ok, if I don´t like it, I can just walk away. But it´s a hobby I still love, and I was really excited for these dolls. Rant over.

    16. Same. I don't see the point in this. A lot of people will most likely want to see ALL of the dolls before they can decide which one to get. Now they'll have to wait until the end of the month. I was super looking forward to the girls but the additional wait time sucks :/

      Edit: I just noticed that the Mermaid is missing from the schedule they posted. I wonder when she will be up?

    17. I can’t find the schedule at all on their website… where are y’all seeing it (and when will I finally see Margot’s new body?)
       
    18. It's in the article that they posted in the "News"-section here on DOA. Right at the bottom of the article. Margot will be shown on August 14th.

    20. You're Welcome! ❤️ yeah, it's a bit weird that they didn't put it on their website and/or instagram!
