SartoriaJ Mini

Oh, they're all up and I love them all. Why do the elf ears make them even cooler.

 

I have a layaway question for those of you who have used it. When your have paid for your doll, do they ship them out or do they wait to cast the doll(s) until they are fully paid? I may need one or two elves...

 

I asked that before and I was told that they start work on the dolls as soon as you place the order. I assume you have to finish your layaway before they'll actually ship the dolls but having a layaway won't extend the amount of time it takes for your dolls to be cast.

I had a three month long layaway for my discontinuation sale Jude but I can't comment on whether the layaway actually impacted production time because his production time was exceptionally long anyway.

 

I would have to agree with @Crissaegrim . I use layaway alot; usually 4 months is what I need. All my dolls have come after or way after my layaway has finished. But I would think that they would start producing the dolls as soon as the order period is over (I would think the caster would want to work on one sculpt at a time? Maybe...maybe not?), but not ship the doll until the layaway has concluded.....

 

Mines was finished and ready to be shipped even before I paid layaway. Sartoriaj wrote email for me that I can pay now what left or they can ship doll and I can pay my last payment as I need to pay. I paid straight away my last payment. But its nice that they said that doll could be shipped before last payment.

 

Thank you, I wouldn't think they would send it before it was paid off

That's what I was thinking, they would want to produce them all at the same time. Just wondering if it would extend the waiting period beyond the layaway time. I have ordered from them before, but not on layaway.

This is good to know in case I can pay it off early. Thank you !

 

I just saw a news about elves sales period. Oh my god, charming Jude stolen my heart a year ago and now I have a chance to get him. What am I suppose to do? I already have another layaway

 

I feel you. I have a Jude and I'm wondering if I want another one.

Which reminds me, I need to ask about which faceup is which. The pictures and the faceup selection letters don't match up (pictures are D, E, H and I. Selection letters are A-D)

 

Just one more photo of my Mini-Matias. I can't believe how similar to the big version he is. Truly magnificent kudos to the artists involved! Out of all my Maxi/Mini versions this is by far the most alike of the bunch.

@luluna your Mishka is beautiful
I love your photos. I wish I could make so good photos, but I think is experience and practice.
I need to start to use my dslr camera more

 

So handsome and drool worthy @luluna

and to my surprise, my holiday event head arrived today

I'm still working on her looks, but so far this is what I got.

SJ does a great job at downsizing their sculpts.

 

@Bren She looks amazing! Which sculpt is she - I am not recognizing it right now. I love the eyebrows, so expressive!

 

She is a shruken down Silvia. I don't believe I have seen any of her, big or small.

 

@Anita2006 - Thanks so very much. I've had many many years of photography...so just keep at it. Todays cameras make taking good photos so much easier than the ones in the past where you had to do all the settings manually...and know what to do.

@Bren - Thanks! Your Silvia is stunning! I don't think I've seen owner photos of her big or small. She is lovely!

 

Question: when the dolls are shipped out, do they email you to let you know or is it a surprise and it just shows up, like certain companies do, lol!!! My December order still says pending, but I keep checking in case they don't send shipping notices! I would have expected it to be a bit longer but it seems some other people are getting their December orders?

 

Usually I get an email letting me know when the orders have shipped, but for some reason lately it's been hit and miss. Sometimes I would get the email after the order had arrived. Reason why I was surprised with her arrival.



Thanks @luluna

 

Ah, thanks for letting me know! Looks like I’ll be continuing to check my order status regularly on the site then. Oh, I do hope she ships soon!

 

I ordered Matais on the last day of December, and Jay says he's done and ready to ship. Yay, for shorter waits!

 

Mine gets his face up atm and should be ready to ship in the next days. From the posts here I get the feeling that Matias was really popular during his order period

 

My order just updated to Queued for Shipment!!!! So I guess not long know until she ships? So excited!!!
