Unoa Rowan Discussion

Ah, they are beautiful! And Prim is like a big Ange ~ @Minda do you know how Rowan's chest, hand, and feet measurements compare to Zero? Also, any sign of heel feet?

 

Thanks, @Minda ! So what are the main differences between Zero and Rowan (other than the faceplates)?

 

Ah, she sounds wonderful! Everything I wasn't super crazy about in Zero sounds like it's been tinkered with. I look forward to seeing more photos! Hope she'll be released in Fairy Skin eventually~

 

She's lovely -- a return to the Unoss aesthetic in a lot of ways, with her generous hips and thighs (but not the ginormous Unoss feet, which is probably a good thing).

 

They are beautiful, loving the mixture of Unoss and Zero in them. I hope I will get Metia in paradise skin one day!

 

So uh, I've started keeping my eye out for outfits that would look good on these girls...>.< @Minda do you have any information on what common sizes these girls' measurements are similar to? I'd imagine they are closer to Fairyland's Feeple60 than, say, Volks SD10. I think Zero can share clothes with Soom's Super Gem, but it sounds like Rowan is more petite up top. FYI, I personally am only interested in dresses, so pants fit isn't really an issue for me.

 

Wow! I was just day dreaming about a new version of zeros or unoss the other day. Dreams do come true! I hope they'll eventually have some B-grade ones available, I wouldn't mind putting together another Unoa kit myself. I was thinking of getting an Elder brother kit, but these girls are bigger and better for me..

 

Haha, that's fine too! It'll be awhile, so I'll have to start saving up, but I'm excited to start seeing these girls.

 

Awww, Unoss was one of my first dolly-loves, and 6-7 years ago they were so hard to find and expensive. So I got a Sist, which I still have and love.
Metia is like that Unoss I always wanted, I love those sturdy legs so much!!! Lets see how my funds are in March ^_^

 

Ooh! What a delight seeing the new girl with your Unoss! When I saw them on Instagram, I had to do a double take. It’s like Araki is giving us a renewed Unoss and it’s wonderful!

 

Metia's lovely! Do you also have a sample Prim faceplate, @Minda ?

 

She’s beautiful

Most bjd are from Asia but i feel not too many look Asian i like that she looks Japanese but not really realistic like iplehouse

I think metia is very cool and interesting because she has a nice poker face but prim have that “I’m pretty i know” face which is also nice. I really like the subtle blue blushing on her face makes her more alive for me

I want to ask why is only selling b grade or you will also sell a grade? I tried google but i still I’m not understanding. Is b grade the naked doll and a grade full set?

 

@Minda thank you for your reply and for the updates

I love it when the dealer is excited about the dolls like the hobby people it is not common

B grades make sense now it sounds bad but in the context you said it seems it is just labeled like that so we can buy them without the contract conflicts haha

I like her eyes better than her older sister unoss it give her a stoic look

 

I'm assuming this isn't Noppin, since they've acknowledged that international ordering has been taken over by UnoAlchemy. It is unfortunate you have to use the "B-grade" label, since it seems to cause (understandable) trepidation in new Unoa fans. Still, so much better than having to go through a complicated shopping service or worse, not being able to get them at all. The difficulty of acquiring them combined with the rise of MNF seemed to be the death knell of the Unoa's popularity for quite a few years. Good to see them slowly making a resurgence!

 

Oh, yes, she is perfect. Prim, is it? Just when I thought my collection was full.

 

wow, my unoa-dreams come true ! Found some measurements on flickr

Unoa Quluts Rowan Metia / Prim
1/3 Doll Height : 57cm
Bust Size : 23cm
Waist Size : 16.5cm
Hip Size : 27cm
Wig Size : 8-9in
Eye Size : 16mm
Feet Length : 7.5cm／2,9in

 

These girls are exciting news! I only hope the cost won't be prohibitive. I remember my early Lusis and Sist cost a fortune.

The measurements appear very similar to FairyLand's FeePle60 Moe body. Not exact, but close enough they might be able to share clothes.

 

Oh this brings back fond memories when I had a Unoss, if the price is not too high I will consider getting one of these lovelies.

 

Based on the 1/4 Unoas being in the Fairyland price range, I'm going to put my guess on $600-800 for Rowan. Will she be coming with additional faceplates?

 

Right, I wasn't suggesting AL is intending to compete with FL or other companies price-wise, just that their pricing schemes have seemed similar.

 

Unoas do have something special about them that is hard to pin on one thing. There isn't and hasn't really been another super similar soft-girl/soft-boy aesthetic out there. Especially nowadays with everything so super slim and model-esque or beefed out and swole.

 

I’m going to be getting a commercial sample of a Rowan girl from Alchemic Labo this weekend so expect a lot of photos!! ✨ there’s an event in Osaka on sunday and they’ll bring her then!

 

They're gorgeous! I really like their body proportions. The bodies of the Zeroes are slightly too skinny/leggy for my tastes, so I really like how these girls look. And I can't decide which face I like better...

I hope they'll be available in the paradise skin tone, eventually.

 

These new girls are absolutely beautiful! I'm particularly keen on Metia, but I don't know that I can swing her for a while yet--I have my Twigling Elbe on layaway for now, but would be curious to see if we can buy faceplates! I've always dreamed of a Unoss, and I love my stubborn little Sist plate [despite lacking a faceup, she has a ton of personality]. Is there any chance we'll get to see blank photos soon?

 

just wondering, are the knees still single jointed?

 

Single knees yep! She’s basically a big 1/4 unoa

What hosting setvices are reliable now? I have some pics of a Metia I painted on my tumblr but I want to post in the thread too!

 

@DaggerChan - Flickr works.

 

Will you be able to use the zero faceplates with the rowan head backs? Just curious to see what hybrids would work

 

Oh her body is so CUTE!! Oh no...I was hoping I would be able to pass on it, but it's so close to my beloved Unoss. UGH!! When will we have a price announcement for these ladies?

 

Awesome comparison pics! I really like how you can see a little bit of the different sculpts in her, and her body really does look like a refined and updated Unoss or bigger 1.5 girl.

I'm conflicted on whether to try for the first release or wait for the paradise skin...

 

I was conflicted too, but then im like.... one of each sounds good~ xD

 

You... make a completely valid point that I had not previously considered.

 

I hope many people buy a Rowan from the first batch so that AL gets good sales and the likelihood of getting them in tan may rise! *3*

 

My wallet is ready, bring on the new girls!
Prim is perfect for me, very like my Lusis but this lovely size and shape to be friends with our Unoss, Ariadoll Narvy and VOLKS Kun.
I'm really excited to order! Good to know about the ears, horns, shoes too, maybe I can have a chance at those accessories for her.
The new bust is EVERYTHING!
I bet it would look nice on a Zero girl too.
I know there are 3rd party head backs for Zero so those plates could be hybrid onto another body, I'm wondering if it will be possible for these too. I've always threatened to knock Narvy's head off to steal her body...

 

@mimimontoya Unoalchemy said in Facebook that the faceplates are compatible with Zero, so I think the Buff headbacks should work! There may be some small modding needed though, as there was a small fitting issue with Latea faceplate at one point.

 

Thank you! I'm never adverse to extra faceplates, it's one of the most charming parts of loving Unoa...even if poor Narvy might not be thinking so at this point!
It will be interesting to compare the bodies! I love the full dolls intact but I'm keen on some types of hybrids in addition too.

 

I absolutely love this body ! It has everything I loved about the Unoa Zero's, minus what I liked less (too tall and boobs to big for my tastes, and I tend to prefer the look of single jointed knees).
Now I need to find a job so I can afford one OTL

 

...or Fairy skin @Minda could this be a possibility?

 

Could the excitement get any more intense? Welp, it just did! I’m so enamored of this girl, she feels like a kind of missing link in my collection somehow. Familiar but really fresh and lovely all at once.

 

I am rather relieved that her price is so far out of my budget for now. My small Unoa Sist has taken a larger place in my story and may need a reshelling [and Metia would be perfect, particularly with the decadent plate!!], but fortunately for me, this can't happen for a while yet.

Best of luck to anyone entering the preorder!! Any idea if/when we may have an order for faceplates and such?
