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. I think I might also. I don't know about the faceup, but I have a pretty good picture of what I want mine to look like, and what are the odds that an exact one would pop up? Plus, I think it will be a month or two before they actually SHIP them, so I guess the sooner you order one, the quicker you'll have him.

    2. I'm definitely looking forward to the next preorder. However, unless this particular release really calls to me, I probably will wait to see what the future Bermanns look like. I'd love to have a Bermann, but at that price, I want it to have a faceup, costume, etc., that I really love.

    3. Ooooh, well, the last time I saw a Bermann before the Tensiya dolls, they went for around $700 naked, on a Korean site. Then you add shipping.....

      I think you may find the newer Bermanns more pricy than the first two. I am totally in awe of the Shinsengumi Bermann....only 8 of those were made. That outfit is a very detailed one. (I hope Anu makes clothing for this guy that you can buy apart from the doll..)

      That one outfit," Truth," Anu made and sold on J!Y was over $800 in the final bid......

    4. I'm not too worried about the price. I saved up plenty of money and I'm resisting buying anything else and doing a pretty good job of it too. Instead of buying new books, I'm going to reread some of the favorite ones I have, to make sure that, if I don't have enough, the reason won't be because I spent it all. ^^;

      I know it's so unlikely, but I'm still hoping that Anu shows off pictures of all, or most, of the new Bermanns before releasing them. *crosses fingers*

    5. Dear sweet Miss Sha, I believe you are the type of owner Anu is making her wonderful dolls for.

      Yeah, I really hope we get a group photo of the boys before they are off. I loved the one of the shoes. ^^
       
      #85 oriscany, Mar 23, 2005
    6. The super-worried, super-hopeful, super-obsessive type of owner? *grin* Thank you for the compliment. ^^;

      I hadn't thought of a group photo, but that would be really cute. Like a big family picture before all the brothers go their separate ways. ^^;

    7. Just a quick question for the experts...

      I just checked out tensiya.com and on the doberman's complite teaser pic it says "SA" on Bermann's name tag....
      wasn't the coming preorder period supposed to be for the first original type Bermann??????? :?

    8. I think that the teaser pic that you're looking at is actually the nametag that got included with the first set of SA Bermanns.

      If you click on the picture, you'll get a little message board. This is Anu's comment: about Bermann's name tag. Choicest ordermaden, for preventing missing your kids. please keep this tag at bermann's neck when you go out with him. # Front side printing : Serial number of doll # Back side printing : your or doll's name and phone number.

      Four more days!

    9. The Nanme tags on the site Tensiya.com are for the 1st preordering Bermanns.
      no.01~22th.SA Bermann dolls.

      Every Bermann dolls will have too. :D (private name tags)

      and, Every limited dolls in TensiYa will have special service pags, including
      Cerfitication, 1-st aid packet, delux cushion(you will be surprised. amazing:D) by limited version,
      precious wooden box,and more. everything will be your pride.
      (I will announce to you after all shipping),

      Besides there are very many new, and amazing things in our Bermann dolls.

      I wanted to keep in time of shipping date
      but there are some trouble, I've found so for the confirmation and verification, It takes sevral days more.
      but I can promise that I will support the best quality doll in the world.
      and at least, every dolls will be departured to you 'in next week'. without doubt.


      About the price, I'm very agony too. because the Dollar US has fallen down so much.
      It was about 1200~1300won per one dollar when I started to BM project,
      but now it is only 870~930won per one dollar.; maybe nobody can feel very seriously about that. but..in korean. it is quite big trouble to export;

      anyhow, I'm doing myself to reduce the price as it possible.
      I know that I can earn more money if I use another way as like the Yahoo auction too..
      but...'Earn Big Money' by selling doll is not my wish. I want to avoid.

      Keep the small site,make a deep impresssion, make a differnce, make a special karma.
      than my dolls make a biggest happy in the world.
      It is my dream. (somebody can laugh to me ^^;;;;)

      anyhow, Thank you so much for long waiting....
      I was very surprised to you that the my message remained at the 1st page in this board
      still now;;; (;;;;my god..Thank you.T-T;)

    10. Oh Anu,
      Your post makes me teary......
      I am a big believer in doll karma, and feel sure that there will be a special Bermann waiting just for me, after reading your post.

    11. Anu,
      Your love for the dolls and your love for creating gorgeous costumes are one of the many reasons we have love for you! I think everyone will be patient knowing that there is some troubles and it will take just a little longer. We like beautiful dolls not rushed dolls that are not ready.
      Thank you for letting us know.

    13. Anu is so unique, I put a tribute to her on my website a few months ago. I'm glad to wait however long it takes for perfection. How often does it occur in our lives? :daisy

      Here's my feeble thanks to Anu and Tensiya:

    14. Anu, you're too good to us. :D you and your talents are a blessing to this hobby, and it makes my heart skip a beat to even think about owning one of your wonderful creations. :chibi with that said... I can't wait to see what you've come up with next, squeee!
       
      #94 cherryghost, Mar 25, 2005
    15. Wow. *_* Just in case I didn't want Bermann more than any other doll ever, already? Well, that just did it. I feel all warm and fuzzy. I know what I'm saving my money for! If there could ever be a doll that was beautiful both inside and out... *swoons*
       
      #95 EvaFriedel, Mar 25, 2005
    16. Dear Anu, I'm just so touched and impressed by how you do business and by your site and by everything you create. I really hope that you are successful and are creating for a long time!

      Maybe you should make the price reflect the dollar difference though so that you don't loose too much...! It's only fair that we should have to pay what it costs!

      Anyway, even though I could not order a Bermann, I'm having so much fun watching the "countdown" on your website with the images of production. I'm already a big fan of your site and product even though I don't have one!

    19. Anyone have any word on the next set? Last time, we had pictures a few days in advance and there's nothing out yet and it's tomorrow. *fretfret!*
       
      #99 Miss Sha, Mar 28, 2005
    20. My guess is Anu is waiting to finalize the first order (confirmations, shipping etc.) before she begins the next order. She's about a week late according to an email I recently received from her.
