    1. @Reinameron - Your Zak is wonderful. What body are you using for him?
       
    2. Thank you for planning to do this, I'm very interested to see the comparison. Personally I love love love the body. The curves are killer and the arm shape is gentle with a nice flow. But none of the heads are taking my interest yet so wondering about hybrids.

    3. Here is Yu!

      Limited YU

      She is pretty, but has no appeal for me. My wallet is grateful ^^

    4. I wasnt feeling her blank pictures, because of the glass eyes, but when made up; I love her :love she looks much better with darker eyes. If Im getting her, ill definitely be switching out the eyes for mako soul or one of those realistic looking oval glass eyes which name escapes me.

      I love the wig and the binyeo, specially love that amazing sword (Im really set on painting it to look like Jade, it just seems more ethereal that way) but Im going to wait for a faceup I really like before deciding; I loved Serena's D makeup which was introduced much later so Ill wait for a different makeup for her, hopefully a softer expression similar to the look of Serena D type

      Not usually keen on warrior outfits, I prefer the royal style, but I like that her warrior outfit does look like something a warrior would wear and not some chain mail bikini with big metal shoulder pads as the only armor lol.

      Theres also new hands
      Holding Hands (W)

      @Datsuki Im glad it will be helpful to someone! Ill do it as soon as they arrive. Im also really eager to dress up the body and actually try new heels on them; I love that their foot measurement is similar to the general foot of SD dolls, no more hunting shoes only to have them not fit. Most of my other dolls are barefoot under their dresses because finding shoes for them that looks nice and let them stand in it, is very difficult!

    5. Oooh I love her! :D The outfit in particular is super cool.
       
    6. Yu is lovely - I'm getting major Mulan vibes off her - but I'm really trying to avoid getting any more sd sized dolls if I can help it (and the faceup doesn't really fit the character I was thinking of shelling her as anyway), so I'm probably going to wait on this one and see if they release her and Zakary in mini somewhere down the line.

    7. @Reinameron - Your Zakary is superb. Curious - What body are you using for him?

      Thank you, @GreenTreeSlug, for the helpful comparison info on SJ's new vs old color resins.
      Thanks also for the link to the new hand sculpts, which look great.

      I think Yu is exquisite, and I love the costumes, sword, and wig too. All in all, a very appealing new doll and concept.

    8. Oh wow, I really like Yu and her outfit a lot! Wow, I may have to see if I can work this one out. I like the holding hands better, they do not look quite so 'spidery'.
       
    9. I bought her Asian outfit and binyeo already. No whole doll money now. I had to buy a laptop this week.
       
    10. I really like Yu! I’m trying not to buy any dolls right now though. But boy is she gorgeous!

    11. That´s a beautiful face up. I wish the artist had made that much effort when painting my Yvonne MSD head :/
       
    12. Got a shipping notice on my body! Anyone else yet?

    13. Congrats Sianserais, You're the first I've heard say something.


      Sharing my Hermes/ Mercury aka Zak ( Zeus Annals Keeper).

      No roman sheets for him. LOL

    14. @Bren - I'm liking the idea of Mercury in black leather. ^_^ Very nice!

      @Reinameron - Just realized I never said anything about your Zakary! Excellent photos, and very handsome!

    15. Does anyone know the end of the sale period for the current Zakary head? I can't find it anywhere.
       
    16. I know it's very soon because I got an email. Found it Feb. 16.

    17. Thank you! Where did you find it?

      At least I have a few days to think!
       
    18. I found it on the Facebook group.
       
    19. @Sianserais,

      Thank you. I also like him in Leather. His lover tho likes him in the old fashion short toga robe. She likes seeing his legs.:3nodding: :lol:

    21. Thought I was safe from Yu because I didn't like her initial faceup, so of course they released type B and C makeup that I'm absolutely in love with...
       
    22. I know. The latest faceup is gorgeous and very Korean style. Sigh. Still not the direction I'm going with body shape though.
       
    23. You'd think I'd know it by now, being in the hobby so long, but I was surprised by how different Yu looks with the alternative make-ups. The B type is really appealing to me. I'm excited to see some owner pics if anyone decides to get her.
       
    24. Just playing with Zak a bit

    25. I am glad I waited, because I really love the new Yu faceups, it makes her look very feminine and soft <3 I will be placing my order on Valentines because Im corny like that and its a present to myself lol.... :chibi

      Just a heads up:

      There will be a head only sale coming up on 12 february, and the resin match is to Iplehouse (these are the older cast heads). They will be limited in numbers, up to three each according to the email. So if anyone wanted a head only, this is the chance to get them. I really like the faceup on Yvonne, not sure if these will be sold as blanks or with faceups but I imagine there will be a mixture of both since its older stock and ready to ship

    31. Really? That's 3am Feb 13th in Korea! And the exact time of a Dr. appt for DH. Sniff....
       
    32. The heads are up now! I got the one I wanted!
       
    33. They are all sold out now.

      So they didn't even wait till the time they said they would go on sale? :| Or I just got the time wrong.

      Congratulations to those who snagged one.
       
    34. I think it should have Feb 11th when using GMT. They were up 24 hours earlier. There re only five that have been sold so far.
       
    35. @nancy_schroeder_ca - Oh I see where they are...now....I got confused. LOL (Not hard for me to do.) :doh
       
    36. I...might have just panic-ordered a blank Yvonne head. Because it was only $100. And how often do Sartoria/Iplehouse-style heads come up for sale?

      Hopefully she works for the big buff sd lady character I've been planning for.
       
    37. I saw that too (it was a fantastic deal!)I think it was cheaper due to the reddish color, but I think with enough blushing to lighten it, it could work!

    38. I mean, I was planning on putting her on the Impldoll 64 muscle body, so I probably would have had to blush her anyway. :sweat Or get Impl to color match it, but I think I'd rather just blush.
       
    39. I've been looking to get Yvonne for a while now! I'm so glad they did this sale, I really wanted her as a head <3
       
    40. Yvonne arrived on Monday, but as usual, it took me a bit to get photos ready. ...And then some of them refuse to show anyway. :roll:

    41. What is the best way to contact or get a reply from them ?
      I posted on the layaway board with an order a few days ago .
      I see a reply under my post but it looks like it is for someone else, ie I clicked on it and it says wrong private post password.
      I emailed them with no reply, perhaps it goes to spam lol
      I hope it all works out as I am looking fwd to my first head from them :)
       
    42. They respond well in Instagram. You might also post another message on their site.
       
    43. @Sianserais she beautiful! Are you happy with her? What faceup did you get? Is that the new tan colour? The dress is fabulous (darn...missed out on that one...). Can't wait to get mine!!!!!
       
    44. Thanks Nancy, I’ll give it another try :)
       
    45. @Sianserais She looks lovely. That is the old Amber Beige? The skintone goes perfectly with the dress. And I really like her face up!
       
    46. @Bren - Thanks! The dress really is lovely. I'm glad I went ahead and got it.

      @Bluenocs - I think I answered at least some of that in the box-opening, but it's the faceup from the MSD-sized "bounty-hunter" version of Yvonne, and it is the new version of amber-beige, yes. I can't say I'm in love with the body, but I think it will be fine once I can get around to sueding it, and maybe tightening the main cord a bit? We'll see. I hope you'll be pleased with yours!

      @Ashemanu - Thank you! The new girl is supposed to be in the new amber-beige. The decapitated head is in the old amber-beige that somehow turned out to be too pink to match IH. I don't know if an in-between hue is what they intended, but it's a very nice color anyway!
       
    47. YAY I connected with them and this will be my very first SJ head hehe

    48. @Sianserais I went and peeked at your box opening. Yes, thank you for answering my questions twice! ;) Right now the biggest thing I'm concerned about is the size of that box. Oh my. Not sure where I'm going to put that....

      I have the pink Marie Antoinette gown to put Yvonne in. I bought it thinking I would be putting my original Yvonne head on an IH body. I'm really hoping it'll fit the new body. As much as I like the idea of a curvy girl, in hand is always different than internet pictures.

    50. @Maggiep Those two look great.

      Do you think that wig (Zak is wearing) would have enough stretch to fit a EID head?
       
    51. @Bren I will try it later and tell you.
       
    52. @Mahgiep,

      Thank you. I so would appreciate it. It's perfect for my Ashram Character.
       
    53. It fits but the sides are high although it kisses the tops of the ears and the wig will mostly cover the sides. I sent you a convo.
