SartoriaJ Mini

Thanks so much Kaname Kimura!

JinCincy, Thanks! He is Opal Beige, as I couldn't quite stretch to Sonoran Beige. Opal Beige is a creamy smooth "normal" I'd say. The SJ resin is lovely, isn't it. I need to do comparison pics with FID and RaccoonDoll soon. He has the regular Jarrad51 faceup, which I'm really pleased with, apart from his original eyelash situation. I had some other fine lashes in my eyes stash, so cut them down a bit and he has eyelashes again now - with half the amount of glue his original lashes used! I wonder if he had a trainee do his original ones?

Thanks Ashemanu! I intended for him to be the meaner character in my story, but he actually seems to have a more gentle persona. Hopefully some clothes and a different wig will change all that

 

@LilyAndRuby Congrats on your Jarrod's arrival! He's wonderful.

 

Thanks @LilyAndRuby ! I have a Joshua on order in the Opal Beige color, so glad to see an owner pic of it in person! I look forward to seeing more of your guy.

 

Was sent an email notice this morning saying that SJ will be opening up their MSDs for order starting February 1st, and every even month afterwards.

 

Yes, I guess SJ is going to do the same thing Iple is doing with their FID's.
Still playing with my new guy trying to a wig I "Love" on him. This one is pretty good. It's Monique "Red".

@JinCIncy The wig looks good on him! Too bad the Monique company is retiring, their wigs accompanied me through my whole collector career - these were the wigs that almost always fit!

 

Thanks! Monique has always been my go to too. I have been stocking up on some of my favorite styles. I'm really going to miss Monique!

 

Ooooooo my Gosh , they put Elf ears on Msd Jude..... I am in so much trouble....

 

MB Lilac, Yes that's amazing news isn't it! I can't wait to see what you might create if you get one of the girls to go with your beautiful Jude.

JinCincy I agree, I thought that. The choice will now be great, with SJ opening their orders at the same times as the FIDs.
Your Jude sure is handsome and I love his shirt. His hair looks great.

Ashemanu, I agree about the Monique wigs, they have always been my go-to ones for silkiness and fit, and the lovely highlighted colours especially in the longer ones.

Skyealloway, Aaargh! He looks so great! I am totally out of dolly funds, completely and utterly, so will have to hope someone manages to get him so we can see pictures??

 

@LilyAndRuby - I'm thinking about getting Naomi. I noticed there's an option to choose a Custom faceup. I wonder if that means we can choose one of the faceups they offer on the SD version of Naomi, since she has one I really like.

 

MB Lilac, yes it does indeed! You can choose any of their faceups as a custom option I believe. I am getting Naomi too with her faceup toned down a bit, like one of the SD versions. I wanted her from when I first saw her but I didn't want her makeup to be as dark as the default 45cm option. You just need to message them in Q&A to check they are ok with your choice.

 

I'm curious, for the girls I see options to buy "middle heel" feet and "high heel" feet. But when I look at the shoe options, I see a few specifically labeled for the middle heel but none specifically labeled for the high heel. The high heel feet look very high arched. Which pair of shoes do y'all suppose fits the high heel feet?

 

I am very tempted by these dolls, now did this person used to work for Iplehouse? I LOVE the clothes, they are wonderful for my FIDM Rex.

 

They have just released their MSD Elf Jude, he is so handsome!!

 

He definitely has the Legolas-vibe ^^

 

Oh my gosh so true @Ashemanu and what's funny about that is my husband said oh he's legolas even before they had him posted with his outfit, just based off the head with faceup!

As a girl who saw the premier of return of the king dressed as legolas.....who owned the official legolas barbie....who hung the posted of legolas in her home for many many years....

Pretty sure I'm pushing 'buy'

But I also have questions. What wig is that? What shoes go with that outfit? The wig type doesn't seem to be listed in the description anywhere, and none of the pictures show any shoes at all.

Also, sonora beige?? Dang it now I need to research if I prefer sonora beige or amber beige...

 

I sure wish they would list all accessories used in their promo pics too @skyealloway ! I was really hoping we would get boots in 51cm like they released with their 71cm Elf Jude.

 

If I didn't need a roof over my head and food on the table, I'd just sign my monthly income over to SartoriaJ NOW.. Have you seen Lobelia Elf???? OM goodness

 

Elf Lobelia is luckily not my jam. I don't know what face I wanted but I guess this wasn't it. I really like that wig and the earrings though. Given how nice elf jude's outfit is, I'm a bit disappointed in the girls version. Perhaps I secretly hoped the girls outfit should resemble tauriel from the Hobbit since Jude's reminds me of Legolas. Why no pants??

Ive been buying way too much recently anyway so this is for the best actually. She's a beautiful doll for sure but just not what I envision

 

I was thinking the "dress" needed to be a bit longer too................or they needed to call it a top instead of a dress and add pants. I do like the red dress though.
