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 releases 4th Dollshe DO Bermann - Hwa-rang

Jun 21, 2006


    1. Kim Ki Young (AKA Mr. Dollshe) probably actually owns the molds. I am guessing that anu owns the rights to the mold at least through the run of dolls she has planned.

      I keep hoping that maybe Mr. Dollshe could take the mold and make some sort of a change to it, say do a somewhat different body, and bring it out as a different boy but with that Bermann face we love so much. Sigh, that would be wonderful.
       
    2. It makes no sense to me that the people who are supposed to be the ones to have the option to purchase this doll were not contacted, even perhaps before pictures hit the site! To keep these folks in the dark, after telling the world that he would only be available to the priority list, seems an odd way to go about this. My hubby thinks it's a marketing thing, which I've heard from other people as well - an opportunity to create a "buzz" and to have the conflict bring more attention to the product. I don't necessarily buy that, because my dealings with Anu make me believe she doesn't think that way. So unless other folks are pulling the marketing strings, then I don't think it's that. But I do feel that it's not nice to keep people languishing over whether or not they will be having the "option" to buy, or not. That communication should have happened by now. But with Bermann, I've come to expect chaos, tension, anxiety, frustration, hair pulling, forehead-to-keyboard bashing, and general hysteria and misery! At least until his majesty arrives on the lucky doorsteps. So...let's hope that Tensiya sends out - what, 11 messages, right? - today, and puts people out of their misery. And congratulations in advance to those who secure their boy - he really is beautiful...
       
    3. I totally agree that they should let us know just as rapidly as possible.I am quite sure that all 11 are spoken for, so it's just a matter of informing the winners.

      I sure hope we find out today, the not knowing is stressful, for all of us.
       
    4. Has anybody heard anything yet?
       
    5. nope...my guess is that all 31 people want him and they don't know what to do.
      Does ayone have a copy of the priority list that they posted on their website when the last release...that will give us an idea of the order of priority....who's on top of the list may get the doll.

    6. :? There is a picture of Bermann and Afgahn on the site, well I think it looks like him, nice but I still like the SA Huskey at Dollmore.
       
    7. I am sure all 31 want him. The mail made it sound like the order was based on where everyone was last time, who paid first then, and also who pays first now.

      So it looks like the order isn't currently set yet as no one has been given payment info yet. Kind of confusing for sure.
       
    8. Yeah I think is based on who placed the order and paid first last time but nope about who pays first now; because they are not releasing any info about that. We agreed to buy dolls and we don't even know their prices...ja, ja, ~crazy~

      Geri
       
    9. Yeah no kidding. Clearly when it comes to Bermann, we don't even care about the price, LOL.
       
    10. I just got an email from Momo, saying I won him. ^^
      It says they'll mail later about payment, or make a place on the site to do so. *faints*
       
    11. I just got my e-mail saying that I am not getting him....I am so frustrated and sad...this is not right; they want me to settle for the Afghan doll....she is not a Berman…
      I don’t thing I can explain what I am feeling right now.
      I don’t even understand because I remember being pretty close to the top at the priority list that they posted on their website last time.
      I am so upset right now…


      Geri
       
    12. Well only the first 11 people can get him...so there must be 11 people that mailed Anu faster.
      But there are still Bermanns to get after this one ^_^
       
    13. .....i got him... *_* i am.. reeling.. from shock....
       
    14. Congrats to eveyone that got him...

    15. Then there's really no point in this priority list at all!!
      PonyGery was so high up on the priority list that she was actually on the wait list for Heimdal if anyone had cancelled!! So technically she should have been the first person to have a chance to get him.
      I agree, that is completely not fair at all and it's not really a priority list in the end but just another 'wait by your computer and whoever clicks their mouse fastest wins'
      I'm very dissapointed in how they did this. And to ask you to settle for Afghan. To be treated like that twice...I can't even imagine. I am so sorry.
       
    16. I am feeling horible...
      I remember being really close to the top of the list...

      Geri
       
    17. I didn't get him either. If it's a question of connection speed, I KNOW why I didn't get him. -__-

      HOW is this more fair than a lottery, again?
       
    18. Well it is more fair for the rest of the people that didn't make it onto the priority list.

      If you want to give up...then do so, but don't blame Anu.
      She tries to keep the rest happy as well...mail her with angry words and you will destroy the happiness for the other people as well on the next release...including myself.

      Yep I'm going for a Do Bermann as well...

      Just my $0.02

    19. well, those who did not get him but was on the piority, think of it, Anu could have not made this piority thing at all and you'll need to refresh the page like a mad man/woman too.

      At least you only competed against 31 people. Think of how many more people you might be competing with and thus your chance will be even lower than it was.

      And congrats those who got this gorgeous boy ^_^
