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.

SartoriaJ Mini Part II

Aug 19, 2023

    1. Oh that’s very exciting news! Looking forward to it too!
       
    2. They'll probably be released with whatever doll(s) they offer this month.
       
    3. My Elf Edgar arrived yesterday! He is sonoran beige, with David50 body. I special requested that his faceup be the Iron Mask Edgar faceup, and I love it so much! His smirk is fantastic. I had completely forgotten that I also ordered painted hands, which are wonderful.

      Overall I really love the new David50 body too. It poses really well. Like, amazingly well. His elbow and shoulder joints hold at lots of different intervals without fiddling, he stands with feet at different placements with ease.

      My first impression was that he seemed stocky, wider than my other men. But it's not too much. I took the time to compare him to my other guys, next to some of my gals, try on some of the SartoriaJ clothes, some random wigs, and I love him with everything. It's like, he's the doll I've been waiting for all this time, almost completely perfect. If I had one complaint, it's that this body doesn't offer different hand poses. I really like having a hand in a 'holding' sort of pose for interacting with props.

    4. I ordered Elliot on the David body, and after seeing the comparison photos, I'm starting to wish I hadn't. But it's been three months, so too late to change the order. I had based my decision on trying the David body by comparing body measurements with my other guys, and they suggested it was very close to the IH Muscle body. So I went for it.

      But I'm not sure about those huge bulbous shoulders, and I just hope his hands aren't even bigger than the ATH ones.

      Anyways, here's hoping his body looks okay in person once he arrives.

    5. My congratulations a sweet guy with a beautiful face! <3 The hair styling could show more of the lovely beautiful ears ^_^
       
    6. @skyealloway - Congratulations on your super wonderful Edgar! :love I also LOVE the David body...best of all the male SJ bodies IMO. I love your guy's smirk. The Iron Mask faceup is so well done.

      I do agree about wishing there were more hand options. :thumbup
       
    7. Elves! I don't have any SJ dolls myself but I do like seeing everybody's elves from them. A buddy of mine has one and is curious about the posing ability of David and/or Daphne compared to other sculpts; any plans to take comparison photos between the elves? I know that the old 51 athletic body being very prettily sculpted but a bit of a brick posing-wise has been a pain point with her.

    8. @skyealloway Your Edgar is so handsome! He looks even better in your photos than SJ's promos tbh, makes me wish I could have purchased my own because I'm in love with that smirk of his !!
       
    9. @skyealloway He is so handsome!!! And thanks so much for posting the comparison photos, it’s so interesting to see!!!
       
    10. @sageyufi you know what, I think you are right. I went back and looked at the promo photos and I do like my Edgar a bit better! Perhaps it's because the original Iron Mask S Edgar was only in 1/3 size, perhaps they simplified the faceup when I requested it for 1/4 size. Either way I'm super happy I got him :)

    12. @skyealloway - Also love your guy's handsome face, and it's nice to hear about the improvement in posing! Congrats! Not sure the aesthetics of the body are for me, though.
       
    13. @MB Lilac I love this photo, it's like a still from a movie
       
    14. Thank you. I had hoped to take more 'moody' photos like this, but most days it was bright sunshine, which just wasn't going to do. I took photos then as well, but the ones in the fog were my favourites....
