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.

    1. From the explanation on Tensiya, I am gathering that each person will be billed for shipping before the dolls' arrival as a seperate payment. Anu will probably notify you by email. Like Valentino isn't scheduled for shipment until March 25th or so. So around there the shipping bill would come.

      It also mentioned for paypal users that 15 pts could be credited to you that you can then use toward your shipping cost...so $15 off of whatever the shipping bill will be....I'm thinking $40 total for shipping...(that's usually around what a doll costs to ship from Asia in my experience), then of course minus the $15.

      The way it looks to be set up, the doll won't be shipped right away...like for Valentino (versions 22 - 33) the preorder for him was between 13 Feb. and 28 Feb...and then the scheduled shipping date will be 25 March.

      Original Bermann will show up for preorder starting March 28th but won't ship til 12 May. So there's definitely plenty of time for people to think about that one...and the next version and the next version... :o :wink: So it looks like Bermanns will be available all throughout the year on Tensiya -- I can't wait to see what these versions will look like...it's so exciting to look forward, to all through 2005!!

      Also, like Linda said...save a bit more than $880 considering shipping, but also in case some prices might be more. Anu says on the site that pricing may vary
      depending on their specifications, options and styles. So some could be more than $880...

      ...might want to prepare for that... :wink:

    2. ... ... .... ... **looks around furtively to make sure none of her dolls are nearby** ... ... **whispers** Qian and Talon will be angry, because they want me to focus on getting a body for them, but I think I'm going to see what the regular Bermanns (not the SA - he's gorgeous, but I really like the normal face even better) look like when they're released, and probably end up getting one. I think it's only fair - after all, I'm putting $$$$ into bodied for everyone else - why shouldn't I have a doll that's just for me, that I can name and make up a personality for and everything? What do you guys think? I'm nervous about the whole idea as it is...I need reassurance here, guys.

    3. I say go for it. Bodies for the others will be way more easily available later on than Bermann. I know I am(well planning to) and this is like the opportunity of a life time :D I really wanted that Shinsengumi version of him but like you I'd prefer his normal face. Only thing is that finding clothes for him is gonna be hell since he's taller than the other boys but it's worth it!

    4. ::does the dance of MONEHS!::

      I've got over a grand and more money coming before the regular Bermanns get released. I'm just crossing my fingers that we get to see ALL of the different versions of him first. I don't want to leap headfirst at the first one that gets released and later on see something that suits Jighad even better.

    5. Yeah that's how I feel. I'd like to wait until they're all released before making my decision but I guess that's not realistic :(

      I noticed under the Shinsengumi and Valentino there's a spot that says "secret". What's that all about?? :?
       
      #65 DollfieKaede, Mar 3, 2005
    6. I would like to say that they might since they released images of these first two at about the same time... but that's because they were made available for preorder at the same time. So it might not be the case since all of the others will be gradually released. ;O;
       
      #66 Miss Sha, Mar 4, 2005
    7. I get the impression they haven't even finished the designs for the others, so they probably won't be releasing pictures until they're available for preorder.

      **prays for a suit like Anu's Bermann has**

      Ah...to dream.

    8. I would like to get a Bermann, but I truly can't decide on which one to choose...

      What if I preorder one version and then I find that I like the next one better?

      What if I wait until the newer versions are released, just to find out I preferred an older one that sold out???

      Help!!!

    9. April...I met Christy's last year and I fell in LOVE/lust with Vincent. You'd TOTALLY love the Bermann. He remind me a LOT of Trent Reznor...I don't know why.

      I am waiting to see th enext releases...I will be buying one, but I am still on the wall about a sleeping eyes or open. It's ALL Christy's fault too! :|

      Love ya Christy! :D
       
      #69 Mercy, Mar 9, 2005
    10. You're right, he does look like Trent a bit!

      But you know who he reminds me of the most? Gah, I can't remember his name right now... he played in American History X and Terminator 3... err, was it 2? Wow, it's too early. Oy, it'll come to me!

      Edward Furlong! Yeah, hehe. xD
       
      #70 Miss Sha, Mar 9, 2005
    11. Man, you're right... he looks just like Edward Furlong. I can't believe I never noticed that before! :o

    12. *grin* It's the lips and the nose and the slightly squinty look! :33
       
      #72 Miss Sha, Mar 9, 2005
    13. That'd probably be about correct for the price to ship the doll in a cardboard box. These dolls will be in a wooden box. So the shipping will be a bit more than usual.....

    14. Any ideas on what Dobermans could mean for the next Bermann being released???
       
      #74 , Mar 12, 2005
    15. Well doberman is a dog, sooooo.....I've no clue.

      Maybe the hound of the Baskervilles...ie an English Lord or manor person?
       
      #75 , Mar 12, 2005
    16. Sorry...I was the guest asking the question about doberman. I don't know why my sign in name didn't show.

      Thanks Guest...I never thought of an English lord...great idea! I think that would make for a wonderful outfit.

    17. Just a week left until the next preorder, guys!

      Who's excited? xD *bounce*
       
      #77 Miss Sha, Mar 22, 2005
    18. meeee! :D I'm counting down the days. I check Anu's site multiple times a day (the picture of all the little shoes on it now? madd cute, guys.) I can't wait until we get pictures, omg, I'm definitely going to freak...
       
      #78 cherryghost, Mar 22, 2005
    19. I know, I'm going crazy. Hehe... I still can't decide if I'm going to jump ASAP on the first ones that come out, or try and wait to see if one I like better pops up. *fidgets*
       
      #79 Miss Sha, Mar 22, 2005
    20. that's what I'm torn about myself, but I think I'm just going to jump on this one... I mean, I plan on redoing the faceup and everything anyway, I just want a Bermann in my possession so freaking badly it's ridiculous. :wink: but... I'm not 100% on that yet either, argggg... :cry:
