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. SartoriaJ Elf Edgar by Skyealloway, on Flickr
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.
My congratulations a sweet guy with a beautiful face! The hair styling could show more of the lovely beautiful ears ^_^
@skyealloway - Congratulations on your super wonderful Edgar! 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.
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.
@Cryptid I agree, the older body is such a pain, I can never get it to do what I want. This new one is great! I went ahead and took some posing photos, Nessa Gal on Instagram: ""but how does he pose?" Great! Lol I don't own any doll underwear in this size, so he borrowed Jorin the dwarfs kilt.... And it sort of looks like underwear haha. But the posing. No standing on one foot or doing squats. But he can cross his legs standing and sitting, bring his knees up, hold a pose with one knee slightly bent, and hold his arms just about anyway you put them! I really really like my new guy Rand. #sartoriajmsd #sartoriajdavidbody #sartoriaj #sartoriajedgar #bjd #bjdelf #bjdmsd #bjdrpg #sartoriajelfedgar" If there is a specific pose of comparison, just let me know! @luluna yay! Thank you! I'm glad you like the David body too. @JL_The_Lion yes I know, I'll probably have to make him a custom wig...alas...such is the way with elves lol.
@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 !!
@skyealloway He is so handsome!!! And thanks so much for posting the comparison photos, it’s so interesting to see!!!
@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
@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.
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....
SartoriaJ released a newsletter today with sneak peaks of dolls and outfits, the event starts on Oct.17. So excited.
Will there be MSD sized dolls as well? There probably will, I just wished there would be more MSD sized outfits available.
