Alchemic Labo Unoa Discussion Part 8

Hello I'm looking to get some help here and am getting a bit confused with that many links!!!

May i know if sist (normal face?) sculpt is still available for ordering and where is the site?? The site is rather confusing

 

You can place an order through Alchemic Labo 少女／unoa girl 42cm/顔 face parts｜錬金術工房WEBSHOP and it seems Sist is available. If you live outside Japan, you need a proxy (they're partnered(?) with tenso.com so I'd recommend that one).

 

Alchemiclabo is having a time sale tomorrow (though I'm afraid only the sending fee is free within Japan)! However, they made a shopping tutorial in English.

There are 3 pictures but I only linked the first one.
I hope it helps.

 

heeeeeyyyyy anyone out there have Lusis boys?
I know that used to be a thing way back, and I always wanted one, and I did up all my Lusis FPs but never really got him up off the ground. I'd love some inspiration. I think I made mine too girly, like maybe i need to heavy up the brows and lose some of the pink.....

EDIT lol I was just looking at all his FPs and all but one is already chipped. So he’s stuck “singing” until I can redo the faces. But now I can start over with a new vision for the character I guess

 

No Lusis boy, just an L-bi boy here. But he is a bit pink... Heheh.

 

(if this is in the wrong place please let me know)
I was wondering if anyone has bought from the Japanese alchemic labo store recently? It says on the site that they've cancelled a lot of overseas shipping, so I'm not sure if it's possible to buy directly from them or would I have to go through a proxy?

Along those lines, does anyone know if the international shop will open again? I've read it's on a hiatus because of COVID and not totally closed, but the situation has stabilized quite a bit since then and I haven't seen any news about it. So if anyone has heard something I'd love to know!

 

Bump~

 

Subscribing to thread~ I am also curious about this about this. I spotted some kits for sale on Y!J. I've always wanted a Unoa Lusis and was wondering if they make them any more? Are they still releasing kits to Japanese customers?

 

I know they have stuff listed on the store, it looks like it's mostly random parts though

 

Hello,

I bought a Unoa Chibi directly from Alchemic Labo last year and it went well. I had to use a proxy to get it shipped to me which was a little confusing but overall a positive experience. I made a mistake when I ordered and someone from Alchemic Labo reached out to me via email to help me fix it. They were very nice. They also sent along a gift face plate.

Directions are here: For Overseas Customers｜錬金術工房WEBSHOP

I used Tenso.

You can also shop on mandarake. They seem to get Unoa regularly. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Alchemic Labo sends newly made dolls to them.

I'm not sure about Unoa Alchemy reopening if that's the international store you're thinking of.

If you have Instagram, Alchemic Labo is pretty active on there and posts when new releases are coming.

I hope this helps at least a little bit!

 

Wow thank you that's super helpful! you answered all my questions, I was a bit confused because on the site they say they're not shipping overseas but then still have the info for buying from overseas lol I'll definitely keep my eye on madarake from now on

 

Hmm so I accidently asked this in the wrong unoa mini thread, lol, but it's been awhile since I've seen a tan unoa kit come up on Gentaro Araki's e-shop, so I was wondering, does anyone remember the rough price range of a tan unoa lusis/sist kit? ^^; I don't recall and I want to make sure I passively save up enough for one, in case I see one come up on his store anytime soon... especially since I am sure the Tenso proxy fees will add onto that, too.

 

I have my first Unoa and two faceplates on their way to me, I'm so excited! I've wanted one way back since I first got into the hobby in 2005/6 and it's so exciting to fulfill a dream like this. But I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for accessories/aftermarket parts that would make the Bullied/O-face less... overt, lol. The full doll is the Bullied plate on the 1.5 boy body, and I got a Sist default and Oyasumi FP additionally. The faceup on the Bullied plate is absolutely gorgeous, but the combination of the mouth and how the eyebrows were painted has me thinking I'm going to have some difficulty making it look like a "regular" expression, whether that's a yawn or singing a tune, etc. Has anyone had any luck with magnetic accessories, or even maybe temporary adhesive additive parts attached with eye putty (or something similar)? For now I'm thinking I'll just get a few MSD-sized facemasks from DDE and cover it entirely, but I'd like to have options. Thanks!!

 

Hi everyone! ^^ sorry if i'm missing the answer but what is the way to modify the original headback or neck on minifee body?
I have just received the minifee body and was sure that it will fit Unoa's head. But it doesn't
Then I realised that most of the hybrids I've seen were with Buff or other custom headbacks. What is the best way to put Unoa's original headback on minifee active body?
Thanks!

 

The only way I know is to switch the mnf neck connector to a hook and use a buff dolls neck connector on it.

 

Hey all! I wasn't able to find a fairy skin large bust option on the website - anyone aware of how often Alchemic Labo throws those up for purchase? Or if they even do?
Also...do we have any idea if Unoalchemy will ever pop back up?

 

A very good question! Nowadays, Alchemiclabo doesn't seem to be too active. However, they do open a big sale once a year, especially if there's a doll event / market. I guess that would be your only chance. Unfortunately, it is quite random...
You can try Mandarake too, however, I'm not sure if they have specific parts.

 

Dang! Okay well I'll keep an eye out on their website to wait for an event, and check out Mandarake too - I did get my girl from there and the purchasing process was SOO easy so hopefully some parts will pop up soon! Thank you

 

I've found both my Unoas (a Chibi Lilin and a B-El who's almost here) through secondhand sites! The Lilin came from Mandarake and the B-El is coming from Dollyteria. (And Dollyteria was super helpful with a mix-up i thought i had made, too!)

However... does anyone have a complete set of measurements for B-El or L-Bi? I've got their height, chest-waist-hip, the head and eyes, and the foot length. I've got some time to get started on a shirt tomorrow, but he's not here yet and I'm going to have a tough time getting started on it without arm length and hand//wrist circumference. Can anyone help out?

Thanks in advance!

 

@noblescientist I just took these, I hope they can help a bit.

Shoulder to wrist: 12.5 cm
Wrist circumference: 4.8cm
Right hand circumference: 6.3 cm
Left Hand circumference: 7 cm

Unsure of the accuracy on the last two, I used the widest point with the tip of the thumb. ^^;

Also, congrats!
