Chibi Unoa discussion part 3

Jun 15, 2012

    1. How do the dots work with the eyemech? Does it help? Because right now I'm ready to toss mine out of the car window and run over it a few times. Nothing I do makes her have straight eyes....

      I suppose I could just take it out and add it to the penis box. But then what would I complain about?


      Skittles is supercute! And what a great use for that FP!

    2. Add it to the....

      *spittake*ROFL.
       
    3. Come to think of it, the dots are for the eyemech that comes with Unoas, not Chibis - the unoa eyemech has an upright metal rod through each eye, and the bottom end of the rod rests in the dot or dimple in order for the eyes to swivel around the rod.

      Neither style of eyemech work particularly well, as far as I have found, but then I don't tend to make much use of them in my Unoa or my Chibis.

    4. I keep my B-el's stiffie inside his head. He's a dickhead. ;)


      I finally got my Narsha clothes from Dollmore. The jeans are just a touch short, but otherwise fit well. The shoes I have are tall enough to mask the shortness of the pants.
      I got a couple of sweaters, and they fit well though the sleeves are a touch long - not a big deal as they are sweaters and expected to be long in the arm, plus they scrunch up just fine.
      I also got a short sleeved hoodie, and that was snug to get on, but looks great on! A really good fit.
      We've switched to a grey fur wig, and think he may be either an Amos or an Andy. Still no faceup.

      Hopefully I'll get photos soon...ish. :sweat
       
    5. XD

      Well that makes more sense. I never even looked at my B-el's eye mech...I just tossed it in with the penises.
      Is that what the extra wire is for? Oh wait, I got that with Lilin too....

      Omg. Now I want more penises to stick in all my dolls' heads!

      It's good to know the clothes fit...my Lilin is the girliest of girls and won't wear pants ever, but you never know when I might get the urge to make her a boy. If I manage to get the other chest piece. Still there might be something at DM I could add to my never-ending wishlist for my girl....

      I don't have photos of mine either - her wonky eyes keep the cameras away.
       
    6. Hmm... perhaps some Chibis have the old Unoa eyemech and some have the one my girls have - perhaps we need some eyemech photos for comparison purposes.....

    7. I don't think any of my Chibis came with a different style of eye-mech from my older Unoas -- but I had one of the first-produced Chibis (my other two are secondhand, but one was from the first pre-order and I don't know when the second was made), so if AL changed it to a newer model, they may have done it in later production.

      I never use it, though, so it's possible I overlooked it -- they seem pretty different, though.

      Here's an older pic of Belle and Stella, just because they're adorable:

    8. I bought fabrics today to make my Chibi Roron some clothes! It'll still be a while before I get hands on her though, so I guess I'll have to use measurements and keep things loose until I can fit them properly to her.

      Do any of you sew for your Chibis? I need measurements I can't seem to find on the Wiki. I'll give you folks a list, but its kind of a long list... Sorry!

    10. OH WOW [MENTION=9171]aernath[/MENTION] you're a lovely person! Thank you!

      Maybe we should be adding this to the Wiki? I'm not sure how.
      It'd be cool to have a big database of sewing measurements like this for a lot of dolls...
       
    11. Ashbet, which faceplates are those on your Chibis..?

      And guys, I can't find a comparison pic of a Unoa Chibi and an Iplehouse KID side by side, does anyone here have one..? Thanks so much in advance.
       
    12. Belle (white hair) is a Roron Chill with a face-up by Viridian-House, Stella (brown hair) is a Lilin Default with a face-up by Gentaro Araki :)

      No KIDs here -- would a JID be helpful?

      -- A <3
       

    13. Evelien, I posted a comparison pic on the Iplehouse KID thread.
       
    14. They are indeed

      Hey work well.


      My Chibi girls, Elsabeth and Madicken, went into work with me yesterday:

    15. LOVE their outfits! What fun summer clothes!
       
    16. Thanks, the outfits are from Boneka - my favourite manufacturer of dolls clothes.

      Teddy
       
    17. ARGH! Looks like Noppin's Unoa annex is closing, and now the only North American Unoa distributor will be a distributor of "B-grade" (imperfect) Unoa dolls! T_T And just when I was hoping to get a Chibi too... now I need to pay more for a worse-quality doll, especially with the horrible CAD-USD rate!

      I guess it's a good thing I'll be living in Japan for 4 months next year... might have to grab myself a Chibi then.
       
    18. Hey KittyFields! Will you be living in a major city in Japan? You might be able to go to a doll event and get one in person!
       
    19. Sadly I'm way off in Akita. But I'm hoping to travel when school finishes in August. I definitely plan to attend Wonderfest, which is a major toy festival. Where are Unoas normally sold in Japan?
       
    20. Unoas are usually sold at doll events such as doll show (tokyo) and dollsmyth (osaka), this is the only way to purchase one in person. Then there are order periods in their webshop, but they can be sporadic and a little tricky to get a hold of, even when living in Japan. At least you'll have access to yahoo auctions and other places too!
       
    21. Where did you see that the Noppin annex is closing?

      <3!
       
    22. I went to their website, that was the page that came up....so sad *sniffs* I was so hoping for a parts sale too!
       
    23. I wonder how long it will be before Unoalchemy is able to sell parts. I ordered a Chibi Roron, but she only comes with the default plate and hands.
       
    24. Don't know, but I did read somewhere that they do plan to sell option parts eventually.

      In the FAQ, they did have this:
      So.... whenever, I guess.
       
    25. Any word on whether doa considers them a verified dealer of legit Unoa? @DaggerChan ? Just making a guess you might know
       
    26. [​IMG]

      I modded my Lilin sleeping face and did her faceup :)

    27. [MENTION=36166]cian[/MENTION] she looks so gorgeous :D

      I'll have to do a goodbye shoot with Hiltja coming next week, her body will be with nezumitoo for the coming months to get some clothes done... will be weird without her little face grinning at me though xD
       
    28. I'm sure that AL will make an announcement soon regarding Unoalchemy being their new dealer. I was kind of sad to see the Annex closing.

      cian: I love her mod and faceup.

      Gosh, I haven't posted a photo of Cari in...forever?

      [​IMG]
       
    29. [MENTION=39311]Rosslyn[/MENTION] we're still waiting for everything to finalize between AL, Noppin and us. AL said they would make the announcement soon!
       
    30. Can, nice job! She looks great!
      CathyM, Cari looks so sweet! With a touch of mischief. ;)
       
    31. Thank you for the lovely comments! CathyM > she's really cute! Love her furwig :)
       
    32. Does anyone have a link to galleries or pics of the chibi unoa faceplates with the names attached to each one? UnoAlchemy just has a bunch of pictures and then a list off to one side. I can't tell which one is what. Or whom. And they are very small pictures.
       
    33. I can't help you with better photos, but Unoafreaks on tumblr lists the Lilin and Roron faceplates according to the photos.

      Lilin plates (top left to right, then bottom left to right):
      Lilin default
      Lilin dozing
      Lilin prim/proper
      Lilin wink
      Lilin naughty/roar
      (Lilin prim/proper in a different wig)

      Roron Plates (top left to right, then bottom left to right):
      Roron default
      Roron dozing
      Roron prim/proper
      Roron wink
      Roron pout (‘punsuka’ is onomatopeia for the sound you make when you’re angry..)
      Roron prim/proper in a different wig
       
    34. Today i can you show my little Bijoú =)
      I finished her face-up ^^

      [​IMG]

      Hope you like her ^^
       
    35. [MENTION=69502]vanori[/MENTION] oh shit she's adorable :D (and I just realized I've never added you on flickr for whatever reason, shame on me!)
       
    36. [MENTION=47546]Roterwolkenvogel[/MENTION]: Thanks dear ^^ ( oh i never added you on flickr too X___X )

      Juju wanted to show off her new toy. I can't remember if I shared her in the bunny 9 dress, but here she is again if I did. I've got some tights coming in the mail from the bunny 9 line, I'm hoping they will stretch enough to fit her hips.

    38. @mlefever: Juju is really cute ^^ I love her big big smile x3 I think she can get a collector.. we all start with one doll xDD


      Sorry for the Bijou spam, but i think she found her own style ^//^ She´s a Mori-Vampire xD

    39. Oh that's awesome! Thank you!

      guysguysguys guess wut.
      MY CHIBI UNOA IS HERE! Ahhhhhh ! *flail* She arrived late on Saturday and I just have to go to the post office on Monday and get her!!

      I can't to start working on her! I did start making her wig, and I've chosen some fabric for her outfit but I really need to nail down my designs for her clothes.
       
    40. Yaaaaaay!

      Teddy
       
    41. YAY! :dance :cheer
      Have fun! Take photos! ^__^
       
    42. Pictuuuuures, please!!! ^_^
       
    43. Ooh, I just noticed that Alchemic Labo has a bunch of Chibi face plates in stock and it seems you can order them through Noppin's shopping service. For anyone browsing on the Alchemic Labo website for face plates, if you have a Fresh Skin Unoa go for the plates with the pink sidebar in their pictures. The purple sidebar is fairy skin.
       
    44. Thanks everyone! I might not have time to take pics until tonight, but I got some lovely gifts in the box! I now have the sleeping face and the "polite/prim" face, and the clasped hands! EE! Now all I need is a roar face, the fist hands, and the open flat hands. She also came with a lovely little pair of pink shoes. Wig and acrylic eyes seem to be included.

      So far the only B Grade flaws I can see are a very few teeny dust flecks in the resin, and none of those are in the faceplates.
       
    45. Thought I'd share my boy!
      He doesn't have a name and he was kind of a super impulse buy!
      Hes a lilin on the roron body.

      A other picture of Bijoú ^^

      [​IMG]
       
    47. [MENTION=69502]vanori[/MENTION] thank you!
      Your Bijoú is stunning! I love her faceup!
      Rather new to this thread, so i may have missed them, but any more chibi unoa boys out there?
       
    48. [MENTION=12723]mangalover[/MENTION] the chibi Roron's come with a certain optional part that you can glue permanently to the body and make it a boy 8) I haven't seen many, but there are some around and about.
       
    49. Yes, the po. When we got Cari it took us a bit to figure out what Po meant. We then about died laughing. Seriously.

      I keep it in my drawer with the misc resin bits. And I still laugh.
       
    50. [MENTION=47222]KittyFields[/MENTION] - could you link me, please? I deleted my link back when they were going to be closed, and now I can't find it again. :(

      [MENTION=12723]mangalover[/MENTION] - Cute boy! Looks like he's ready to go out and get dirty!
      My Ronron is a boy, but still faceupless, so no new photos yet.
      [MENTION=69502]vanori[/MENTION] - Your girl is cute - nice faceup you did!
       
    51. [MENTION=9171]aernath[/MENTION] Thank you! I actually gave him some bumps and scrapes and tiny bandaids on his knees.
      And yay! Please share once he has a faceup!
       
    52. Yay for fabulous freckly Chibi boys and girls!!

      Teddy
       
    53. A other picture i take from Bijoú =)

      Please show you´re Chibis ^^ I would love to see more of them ^^

    55. I just put a doll on layaway, but after hes paid off i think I'm going to start hunting for other hand parts/face plates.
      I love the little fist hands! [MENTION=63389]mlefever[/MENTION] Juju is so cute and spunky looking! I love her!

      Heres a picture of my boy (still no name!!) from when we went on a little adventure.
      Quite the wild child, running around with no shoes on!

      No new pictures from me for a while though, I just packed up Hiltja's body to go to nezumitoo for the next few months... on the plus side that means proper clothes for her xD Also got her a MNF Risse axe cause a dwarf needs an axe ;)
