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. I just wrote Jay and they will send my package in the first week of September when I'm back from vacation. I can relax now. :)

      Oh my God, you're right, it only shows Margot and Ayla. I was looking forward to the Mermaid the most and was excited to see her today, what a bummer.

    2. Edmund is handsome, and I love his expression, but I already have my IH Leonard for the character I'd want him for. (Which is a bit amusing, given the shared theme.) That detailed faceup still makes him tempting, though.

    3. :loveSJ website has photos of the new 65ath woman body! :love

    4. Thank you for the heads-up! It’s definitely not as buff as I was hoping for—very reminiscent of the iplehouse HID girls, and the new impldoll slim muscle body.

    5. welcome!

      Over on IG, they posted a mini video of Margot's upper arm tattoo.

    6. I agree. I think it looks great, it just isn't all that different to their other offerings, particularly if she's clothed.

    7. It’s absolutely an incredibly similar silhouette to the MTN and APH bodies! Which saves my wallet some, so I guess I can’t complain.

      If you want really muscular 1/3 girls, the options are basically the nobility doll (horrible posing), impldoll old star muscle body, and Miracledoll 68cm before you get into 75+ cm girls, which I don’t mind, but they sure are a size all their own. I’d really like a muscle body that’s like a scaled down version of the DevotionDoll 75F but that was never going to be the body SartoriaJ gave us!

    8. I'm usually neutral towards male sculpts, but I just love the pirate men's styling and rugged good looks! :love
      I'd be absolutely hard-pressed if I wasn't in this hobby just to shell OCs lol

      Same. Wishing to get one similar--70 cm or under. I get why SJ couldn't have created a sculpt too different because their clothes still need to fit the body, and creating a new size category is just unrealistic for their workload.

      I'd still consider the 65 ATH an SJ upgrade for me at least. I've always loved the taller and more broad-shouldered body of the 64 MTN compared to their other female bodies, but I've always found her limbs to look too spindly.

      A lot of female doll bodies that I've seen, place all their aesthetics on torsos and curves alone. Maybe some of us want to see arms and legs variance too! Like give me arm definition or some meatyness; give me thicker calves! The 59 DPN is so nicely balanced in that regards; its why that one's my favourite.

      But why SJ are you showcasing your new 65 ATH in such dark photos? How am I supposed to properly assess it??? :huh?: Edit: Wait, I see the new body comparison in the Main Gallery.

    10. I love the new pirate lady! Not getting her, but I really hope some others here do, I wanna see more pics of her :love

    11. She's so cool and just my type! :D

      There's an intensity about her features and faceup we haven't seen from SJ's female dolls in a while. And the outfit? Chef's kiss. I'm afraid if I don't get her, it may be a very long time until we get another badass lady again (and the 65 ATH regular price is the most expensive of the female bodies thus far until we see the mermaid).

      I can't wait to see Ayla and Marina next. It seems Ayla will be offered in cocoa brown if her hand tattoo is any indication, nice! :)

    12. I swore the captain will be mine, now I am just waiting for Ayla. It´s her or Margot :D After all, pirate needs a girl! After that I will be broke and never buy a doll again! (never will probably last three months or so :lol:)

    13. Yeah with what many of you are saying! I wasn't expecting to like Margot much, not really needing a lady pirate, but her features are truly striking! I'll be holding off on any decisions till we see Ayla and Marina, but I didn't expect to have to possibly choose!!

    14. I was thinking the same thing! Wait to see all the ladies before, we push that "enter" button.;)

    15. Same here. Loving Margo's personality, and the artistic tattoo! The new body might not be groundbreaking, but it would be very useful for at least a couple of my OCs, so... but definitely still waiting to see what the other two ladies look like first!

    16. I love all the Pirates so far! :...( So it's going to be lots of pondering as to what I can dare get...:abambi:

    17. Slams hands on table. Ayla. Is. Beautiful. :D
      More love to cocoa brown, she looks so good in that tone !!

      Why don't I have the money to just buy the entire Pirate Collection already??? :...( All of the gays deserve to sail together.

    18. @sageyufi Yeah, I would like a pirate treasure too atm! :apirate: Margot or Ayla - that´s a hard one :aeyepop: I think it will be Ayla... for some reason she appeals to me more, even if she definitely is NO Tia Dalma :...(

    19. Wow. So, my second thought about Ayla (after how lovely she is) was, "huh, I think she reminds me of another sculpt?" But none of the ones I was bringing to mind made any sense, so I kind of shrugged it off. I just went back to look at her and it hit me - she makes me think of an older sibling to Tania and Tatiana. And my next thought was, "Oh, no...." :lol: There's a reason I have two Tatianas.
      If SJ wants to release her in a purple or blue-gray color someday, that'd be even better. :evilplot:

    20. Ayla is my favourite so far but I just can't buy another doll! It's a shame I can't buy just the outfit. :( I love the aesthetic of this theme though.
