Alchemic Labo Unoa Discussion Part 8

Just ordered an unassembled Lusis off of Mandarake! Hopefully I’ll be back on here in a week or two with pictures of her!

 

So I got a doll leaves body for my fresh skin unoa faces, but they're really yellow compared to doll leaves. I was wondering whether unoa is just more on the yellow side normally, or if I should try deyellowing them? I'm considering just getting fairy skin instead and blushing them to match

 

unoas tend to be more on the yellow side

 

Ah, thought that might be the case. Thanks so much, I'll just look into getting fairy skin

 

I don't know if you got a response, but from their posts in the Unoa Freaks Facebook group (since the question comes up every once in a while), yes they are on an indefinite hiatus, so it really is up in the air as to whether they will return to it. I hope so, but in lieu of an official post either way it's easy to see people being confused about it. It is tricky to order from their Japnese site but with Tenso I've done it before.
For photo tax, here's my chibi girl: https://www.instagram.com/p/CER62OSpeoz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link I was glad to find her on Dollyteria for a great price with a bunch of extra faceplates but I'm still looking for more chibi ones.

 

My tan L-Bi arrived yesterday I will get some pictures of him soon. I'm already thinking of a new boy in paradise skin as the colour is just so delicious

 

Finally put my Theo together (curly ginger hair). She's Jaimes sister!








Theo came with a couple of Lusis plates originally and I send those out for face-up as well because... Why not. But I kinda love the result and will probably have to get my hands on another Paradise Skin body.

 

I have an un-opened unoa faceplate with a thin layer of resin where the eye holes are. I have seen tutorials for removing the layer many years ago, but can't seem to find it again Would anybody be able to help?

 

It’s a bit scary the first time but as long as you have a tiny enough tool it should be easy to remove them. The resin there is so thin that it is very easy to just cut through, and to make sure you don’t leave it uneven you can use the finest of sandpaper and sand a bit on whatever edges might be left (if there are any). I don’t know of any video myself.

 

Thank you, Antika!

 

Hello, can anyone tell me the neck circumference for an Sist/Lusis? I have found the rest for the body but neck measurements are missing

 

After years of putting a b-el on my wishlist, and putting him off for other dolls, I just purchased an un assembled b-el on Mandarake. I was just looking at bjds in general and there he was still sealed in plastic bags, and his price was really good so I just couldn’t resist. Still can’t believe I have one coming.

 

I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of a paradise skin L-bi. I've never had one and I really want to see the tan in person. Hopefully, he'll work as my cute cat boy

@Antika - I love the lingerie you have for your girls? May I ask where you got it at?

 

Congrats! The paradise tan is not that dark imo, but it’s pretty. Hope you like it!

I ordered the lingerie from a girl on a Swedish bjd discord group. She doesn’t have a shop that I know of.

 

My boy arrived today! So awesome to finally, in person, open the doll box and see a Unoa in the flesh. I love the red velvet that covers the box interior! It makes me feel like I’ve gotten something really special (which I did). Sorry for all the gushing, I’m just so impressed. Now the joy of sanding, and I really do like sanding, as it’s relaxing. I will be wet sanding to keep the dust minimal. Wet, sore hands ahead!

 

Congrats! I do love their red velvet boxes. THere's something about the Unoas. Have fun!

 

@Rosslyn thank you! I hope you are feeling better! I’ve missed you, and am happy to see you posting.

 

aw thank you!

 

I finished sanding my boy. The seams weren’t very bad to begin with, so it was easy. Next step is stringing, which I don’t like. The instructions make it look easy, and aI hope so.

 

Just ordered some paradise face plates (mostly sist) secondhand, and I am so excited to start putting together a doll I’ve wanted for a very long time! Hopefully I can find some paradise elf ears but I will be color matching everything to fairyland tan the best I can, so if I end up with another color it’s not a big deal.

Hoping to order a buff headback sometime soon... I’m not sure when I’ll be getting the minifee body, though. Tan isn’t offered right now anyways so it’s not going to be immediate unless I find one secondhand I guess, lol. But it’s nice to have her finally started!
