SartoriaJ Mini Part II

I have an Ella, and I love her faceup in particular. I agree, her face is peaceful and almost introspective, like she's got some deep inner thoughts that I'm really curious about.

If you ever decide to buy her, I hope you love her straight out of the box, like I did upon first seeing her! I'm still waiting on some components and clothes to arrive before I take her out of the box and take photos. Mine is going to be a redhead like their version of her (hopefully that exact wig will come back into stock and stick around long enough for me to buy one!).

 

Yes honestly, it would be impossible for me to leave a doll in her box even without having all her customisations, that would too tempting

 

@MB Lilac - Love your Matias! And his outfit...and his owl is wonderful too.

My Edward, Evander...

I can finally post here now that I've finished the faceup for my SartoriaJ Demian. I ordered him on the old 51Ath bod before it was discontinued, in Rosewater. I wasn't sure the color would work for the character (a little too pale for my liking), but thankfully it turned out fine!

@AntarelNefertili Omg, he looks simply amazing!! Absolutely adore the face up!

 

He is so beautiful!!! I love how you’ve styled him and done his face up!!!

 

Is it just me or does the new Dorothy look very similar to Emma?

 

She is a bit similar! I'm glad I ordered Emma though, I like her better - but I'm sure others will like Dorothy!

Now I'm wondering if they will have a Seconds sale, like last year, of extra, limited in stock dolls. I thought it was June last year, but it was actually Halloween - but I wonder if it might be whenever they have extra dolls? On the other hand, maybe they won't do it again. I was sort of hoping they would, as the thought of not having to wait for a doll to ship would be amazing - but on the other hand, I've spent too much on dolls lately! Still, if they do it later in the year, that's time to save up, I guess?

 

Wow! How uniquely beautiful Yu is!!! I congratulate you on her arrival in your extended family!!!

 

Thanks! She's a firm favourite!

 

Yeah! Sartoriaj definitly has a type when it comes to ladies. Dorothy, Emma, Joey, Constance, Camille look like they are related, in my opinion. I like more unique sculpts from them like Vittoria and Lobelia more, they are lovely and have so much character

 

My favourite is my Jenice. Which I guess is also a similar look, I definitely have a type! Full lips and half closed eyes and I want it every time!

 

Many thanks @Ashemanu and @morganatron -- he's the fashion mini version of my 75cm Granado Noah, so they have almost identical styles.

If one wants to shell out interrelated ladies, SJ's girls would be a very good candidate imo. While I adore their sculpts, it won't hurt to have some variety. I quite miss Sienna honestly, but I couldn't afford her during the discontinuation.

 

Have I missed something? I just went onto the SartoriaJ Website to browse the 1/4 dolls and they only have 10 standard dolls now. Melissa is missing, and Sarah. Possibly more? Is this normal do they just quietly discontinue them?

I did want to get Laura with the cinderella face up so fingers crossed she doesn't dissappear!

 

Unless I'm mistaken I think they used to have 14 standard dolls. Perhaps that was a bit much for them? But still odd that they were discontinued without notice. Glad I got Melissa when I did!!

This might be an unpopular opinion but I feel like the discontinued ones are the best and the ones that remain I'm mostly meh about except for Laura. Not that I don't like the others but just not enough to buy.

 

Same! I wonder if it's something psychological that we want what we can't have
But for reals, I love available sculpts, but some of the ones that were discontinued I love more and would buy. And there is even less sculpts in msd and some choices I can't understand, like why, for example, Paul is in sd and msd, and Mathias sd only(who, in my very subjective opinion not only one of the best sculpts from sartoriaj, but like ever, while Paul is just a good sculpt).

 

I ended up getting my human Jude very suddenly when they announced his discontinuation. I'd planned on getting him because he's my favourite of their sculpts - although I agree with Fyrwenn that Matias is also absolutely beautiful - and I didn't want to miss him.

I would genuinely love to know what's going on behind the scenes and why the choices on who stays vs who goes and why who is in which size are being made. Not in a particularly critical way, I'm just really curious

 

@Fyrwenn possibly psychological cause I could have bought every one of the original girls, Naomi, Vittora (I know that's spelt wrong ), Yu (luckily found her 2nd hand.) But I always thought Naomi was super popular, like everyone always loved Naomi.

@Crissaegrim yes I would too! Like just genuinely interested. I'm assuming it's based on sales, so it would be interesting to know which sculpts sell the most. Or maybe it's based on time, like each standard sculp is available for a year or something? If I knew then I could plan who to buy next
