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.

TENSIYA DOLLSHE BERMANN Mr. Fogg, L'etranger & Manu discussion thread.

Oct 2, 2006

    1. congrats to all that got them. I see that a few did :) lucky!
       
    2. I really hope you are right, Sabriell that HwaRang is normal skin with Bermann hands. because until now, I was convinced he is WS
       
    3. Well even if he is WS, normal skin Bermanns are just as pale as BW CP dolls only more pinkish...but it would make sense if Mr Fogg was WS...cause he IS British, and they aren't really known for their tanned skin *lol*

      But both HwaRang and Mr Fogg have Bermann hands...that was what you wanted to know right XD
       
    4. *remembers posh spice* FTW. XD

      It would make sense though, that perhaps they release only two sets of Bermann for both white (and tanned skin for that matter). Mr. Fogg and Heimdall would account for the two WS releases. I certainly hope Hwarang is normal skin too, though. ^^
       
    5. XD XD XD :aheartbea :aheartbea
       
    6. OK, I just saw the closeup pics of the 3 Bermanns,and GAH!!!!! Thank GOd!! In a way I'm glad I don't have the money,or a credit card,cuz MANU is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!! OMG!!! Well, i can be content to drool over the ones who acquired this hottie!The other were just as lovely,but Manu...damn.
       
    7. Grats to all the winners! :celebrate
       
    8. I must admitt I was enrapted for Mr. Fogg's beauty... but my heart will be with Heimdal, I think. The Norse mithology implied really caught me... oh well, both are so alike. Arn't they? like north european cousins...
       
    9. Well, sorry, but HwaRang is white skin and it looks like he too will have Hound hands. I and a few others have just had long conversations about this with Momo and Anu and, at one point, Mr. Dollshe. There seems to be some kind of misunderstanding or communication problem, but the hands they kept referring to as Hwarang's were clearly v1 Hound hands, just like Heimdall's. Not v2 Hound hands, though, which are one piece hands (v1= two pieces, like the *real* Bermann hands, but different shape).
      I guess we'll know for sure when Hwarang comes in a couple of weeks.

      And I just came by to say CONGRATS to all you lucky winners, and to tell all the others to please not lose hope! Who knows, one day... here are so many people with multiple Bermanns, so it's not so out-of-this-world at all that one will come your way^^

      Well, in the end we will have been waiting for Hwarang Yooshin for close to 4 months minimum... I wonder how long your waiting period will be!^^
       
    10. Okay chill even if he is WS or NS has Bermann hands or Hound hands...it's Bermann so people will love him
       
    11. So does this mean that our dear Mr. Fogg will also come with V1 Hound hands?

      Well, what is the difference between Bermann hands and V1 Hound hands, anyway?
       
    12. A lot they have different hands look at the info pages on Tensiya ^_^
       
    13. I think that one is being compared to V2 Hound x_X.

      Though, after close inspection, it seems to me that Mr. Fogg has Bermann hands (and so does Hwarang). I noticed cause Mr. Fogg had stubbier fingernails. I like the Hound hands though, they are actually more aesthetically pleasing. ^_^

      Also... Heimdall and Mr. Fogg both have the same exact face-up (no difference, not even the colour) as I have just realised.
       
    14. What a great question!

      I know the fingers and how they are positioned are different.


      These are Hound hands.

      The bigger hands on the left are Bermann hands.

      You can see Trent's hands pretty well in these too.

      I think they are just bent in a different way. I am NOT SURE if the Hound hands are separated at the "wrist" like the Bermann is. But maybe someone that has a Hound can tell us.

      Sorry for the pic spam. I can always remove if someone thinks I should. Easier to show pictures than explain. The Hound pictures were from tensiya.
       
    15. The first Hound hands had the same loose wrist part but now it's one piece, Bermann and Hound hands are way different.
      Hound hands are bigger and the fingers are larger/longer and more together than Bermann's
       
    16. Hound hands are more esthetically pleasing than the Bermann hands because of the thumb sculpt. Bermann's is really too proportionately short.

      :)
       
    17. Yeah, after an observation Heimdall's and Fogg's faceup are the same.
      But Fogg's has more slanted and thinner eyebrows. Also, the difference on the eye colour does create a diff expression.

      But yeah I'm so in luv with Fogg's hairstyle actually XD He looks sharper that way ;) He's the first Bermann that has a short hair, which I like ;) I don't really like the other Bermann coz all of them have long hair XD
       
    18. hmm manu :D :D

      ah well congrats ppl... :D
       
    19. Uber congratulations to Mercy, Musesick, HouseofIsis, Nanyalin, and TheBeautifulDoll for winning the dolls of their dreams!!! Any other winners out there?

      Even though I said a while back that I'd decided to back down from my quest for a second Bermann, well... after seeing these new ones--and the TANNED ones especially--I caved and decided to give it another shot. Actually, when I got the first instructional email I thought I had already missed the deadline by three hours, LOL! But I sent my emails anyway, only to get a reply saying I was too EARLY! DOH! :doh So I calmed down and after figuring out the time difference, and even setting my computer to Korean time, I mentally prepared for the *real* thing. I'll admit it... yeah, I tried for all three, with my preference in order from Manu, L'entranger, and lastly Mr. Fogg, just to increase my chances of at least getting one. I'd decided that if I miracously ended up with more than one (snowball's chance in hell) I would re-sell the one I liked least at the original price. Then, at the magical hour, I made the mistake of waiting 5 seconds before hitting "send"... fearful that somehow Anu's computer might not have exactly the same time and my emails might arrive too early. :doh Then I went to bed, feeling fairly upbeat that I actually might win one. Needless to say... I didn't win either. :...(

      So that's my sob story... got it off my chest now... live and learn... life goes one... count your blessings... yadda, yadda, yadda. :roll:
       
    20. *sheepishly* We're bringing home L'Etranger in the hopes that he can fulfill a character we've been trying to place for a year and a half. I'm scared by this kind of unexpected luck, I never would've thought we'd get a Bermann for him.
