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

Jul 18, 2019

    1. Grats to your Sarah, she is a beautiful mold! Mine is one of my favorites :) As for the eye size, it´s a matter of personal preference, I think. For me 8/3 works best, it looks more natural. If you look at the picture of my misty gray Agnes a few posts above, she wears 8/3,5 eyes (from SartoriaJ). But I would have chosen 8/3 if they had been available.

    2. I got the Matias and Jenice outfits in the mail! Plus the Matias armor! Omg the Matias set is my favorite of the two for sure! The Jenice set makes me sad...not the set itself, but I told myself I wouldn't buy it without the corset bust, so I messaged SartoriaJ and they let me add it to my order, but but....the color doesn't match my doll! Apparently the amber beige color is very different now than 2 years ago. I love the new color, but is it very different than my doll :(

      But not to focus on the bad, look how smokin my Dominic looks !
      Nessa Gal on Instagram: "New doll stuff day! I just received the #sartoriaj Matias full set outfit and armor in the mail today! Geralt looks totally amazing in it! He will definitely need a dark wig of his own, and im thinking of making his eyes dark as well. The first two pictures are my glamour shots, the rest are on my kitchen table where I opened the boxes! The armor actually came in a completely separate box from the clothes which was unexpected. I'm glad they did though because the clothes box arrived totally smooshed. Everything is fine thou, no damage. Very happy with my purchase! #sartoriajelfdominic #bjdmsd #bjd #bjdelf #bjdrpg #bjdarmor #sartoriajmatias"

    3. @skyealloway I knew that their peach cream had changed, but no idea that their amber beige had as well. Anyway you could post pictures of their differences? I'm sorry that the corset bust doesn't match. But I do understand. I got a MTN body coming in PC that I'm not sure if it will match the doll I intended it for. Makes me wonder if they changed their formula once again.

      @Bren this is taken at my kitchen table with my home lights, I can take another photo in natural light if anyone is interested.
      some folks on instagram are encouraging me to try dyeing it. I may try airbrushing it since i feel more comfortable with that, but i'm not sure how well it would hold over time. I think first i'll go ahead and put it on her with some clothes to see if I really think its worth the effort to try and color correct.

    5. Wow, @skyealloway it almost looks to me like you got a sonoran beige corset bust instead of amber beige. Did you send the pictures to SJ to confirm they have changed the amber beige resin formula? That looks like a huge change to me, and just looking at it the corset really does look like sonoran beige to me instead of amber beige.

      wow. That is a huge difference. perhaps JinCincy could be right and you got the wrong color sent?

      NOt sure tho, since they indeed changed the PC and they look different now.


      L to R
      that's my SD PC Elf Naomi, and my SD PC Demian.

      no way the color would ever match...

      When I asked Jay about the color difference, since I was worried about the new MTN body matching who it was intended, and he told me that the MSD would be the color of Demain. FYI. All my previous PC ones ordered has more the color of elf Naomi. (about 4 or 5 of them) So Demian took me by surprise.

      I would ask SJ tho about the AB as well. It looks like they have changed their formula if that is indeed Amber Beige that you got on your corset bust

    7. i guess ya'll are right, i'll ask SartoriaJ for clarification.

      In the meantime, I have a Sonaran Beige doll (from the exact same August 2021 order as my amber beige doll) and this bust piece is not either color

    8. Wow...that is a big difference in resin tone! :aeyepop:
       
    9. @skyealloway

      :aeyepop: oh yeah. You are right. NOT even close. Dang, they must have changed their formula. That sucks tho.
       
    10. Does anyone have both warm ivory and peach cream dolls they can put side by side?
      I haven’t found any good pictures of them together and I am finding hard to figure out which colour would be best for the character I’m thinking of shelling.
       
    11. @Kaname Kimura I have those and will make later pictures for you :-)

    13. Both are wonderful examples of SJ grays, the Mist and the Fog. Great pictures.
       
    14. What gorgeous photos on this page - @JinCIncy @luluna @Patrice S !!
      Beautiful guys and gals!!! The gray resin certainly does photograph well!

      Amazing (and terrible) about the resin color changes @skyealloway
      I cannot see how those pieces could be called the same color…. I’m so sorry.
      I hope that you’re able to figure out something to work.
       
    15. My Peach Cream MSD MTN body arrived and it was to replace the APH body of my MDS PC Naomi.

      I'll let the picture speak for itself and why that won't be possible now.....

      @skyealloway
      Were you able to get an answer from SJ about a formula change on the AB? From what I can see, it would be more prudent to get all the extra parts together and not expect for skin shades to match later on, unfortunately. I'm also disappointed.

    16. Bren, I'm so sorry! And I think I'm on the same boat :doh

      I, too, ordered a Mintonette body for my MSD Naomi in Peach Cream. I was elated when I received the mail this morning about my body being shipped after 8+ months, but now I don't know what to think :sigh

      Does anybody know if SartoriaJ put any notice about changing the resin tone? I think it's kinda crappy to do this without warning. At the very least, when they started taking orders for Mintonette bodies-only, they should've foreseen that most people were ordering them to use them with their already owned heads in the previous Peach Cream, so they could've at least tried to match those to the old resin tone.

      What makes things worse for me is that they don't sell heads only, so I don't even have the option of buying a single head in the new tone to at least cut my losses with this body.

      I can only say that this is extremely disappointing, I love their dolls, but if this is how they do business now, off they go to the same category as Dollshe :|

      (Sorry for the rant, I'm just extremely upset about waiting for so long for this body, and it will probably don't match and I won't be able to use it:doh)
