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.

Dollshe Bermann FAQ

Oct 4, 2006

Page 1 of 4
    1. It's in the first stages of being put together. There is a lot of information, of course, on Anu's Tensiya site. I did want to start a site that explained the background on the dolls, some of the measurements, and the history of this doll.

      If anyone has any constructive feedback that would help improve the FAQ, please let me know. I plan on slowly adding to this.

      Hope it helps!

    2. Maybe you should also add the relationship between Bermann and Hound (brothers) and Christy's comparisons and such? What about Christy's stringing tutorial too?

      I like how it's coming along!

    3. Very cool!

      I'd think a list of the Tensiya releases & their names would be nice, too, as a quick reference - I know that the information is easy to find elsewhere, but it would be cool to include it in a FAQ page. And at some point I'd love to see more information about the Korean Bermanns. For instance, I keep hearing that there are tanned Bermanns in Korea, but have never located an owner photo or details of how they were issued. I'm very interested in things like that.

      Bookmarked the FAQ, can't wait to see what else you do with it! Thanks!

    4. Thanks ladies!

      I will ask Christy about it!

      Actually, I think newer shots that are not using up DoA bandwidth would be great. Maybe I can get Christy to take some Hound Shots and Pictures of Vinnie for Bermann 77 comparison... and then we can have Bermann Tensiya companrison as well.

      Keep the suggestions coming!

      I wonder why I didn't get a notification? Boo. :|

    5. There are many pix of these Korean Bermanns on the Cyworld 'For Bermann' group. I can ask owners if I have permission to use them. It may take a while though, what with translation issues etc. O_o

    6. I don't know if this is very important or not but I do see it come up a lot is the situation with the hands, ie: which Tensiya Bermann has Hound hands or Bermann hands, etc.

      Just a thought.
       
      #6 SDink, Oct 6, 2006
    7. I think that's a great idea, Cheryl! I think as the Bermann's ship, I will try to get that info!
       
      #7 Mercy, Oct 6, 2006
    8. Mercy, if you can get www.anustyle.com to not crash, she's got new info there that is rather interesting, and would make it very easy to compare hands.

    9. That would be cool, Christy! I was just hoping for a few representative links to owner websites or something, if anyone had any (I have just one), but photos used with permission would be even better.

      Neat.

    11. What were their releases like in Korea? The same as here, or were they al released at the same time? And how many of the Korean released Bermanns are tan?

      Also, I asked in the other thread if there was any chance the next SA Bermann will be tan and people said there was a big chance..anyone else who feels like this? :D

      (...can you tell I've fallen for tan Bermann? ^^;; I even have a name already..+_______+ stupid me XD)

    12. Here are some hand shots:

      I believe so far(from observing pix) the only Bermann to have Hound hands is the Heimdal and the 2 tan releases.

    14. A nice add in would have to be Websites of Owners around the world. I know not all Bermann owners have Websites but there's got to be a few

    15. I added what I had! Thanks! :)

      I just added a bunch of stuff to the FAQ. If people can take a look, I would greatly appreciate it!

      Thanks Christy for all the info!
       
      #15 Mercy, Oct 7, 2006
    16. Thanks for taking time out of your schedule Mercy and doing this, it is very informative!
       
      #16 SDink, Oct 7, 2006

    17. No problem! Just trying to give back to the doll community where I can. :)
       
      #17 Mercy, Oct 7, 2006
    18. So is the Luis Doberman a Bermann set or a completely new Dollshe boy?
       
      #18 Selurnis, Oct 7, 2006
    19. He'll be the last set of the DO Bermanns. :)
       
      #19 Fyredancer, Oct 7, 2006
    20. And they are ALL mine!

      :doh Just kidding. :sweat

      Really. ;)

      They are supposed to be REALLY special to which is why they were pulled out of the numbering situation. I just updated the FAQ again.

      Thanks LOADS to Christy.
