UNON / U-noa Zero / Unoa 0 : Latea & Marion Discussion v. 2

Oct 1, 2008

    1. Sailor_Orbit yes during the weekends they seem to be more responsive
      to urgent cases that demand immediate attention like bidding etc,
      but they will reply to you really soon with your answer or quote, hang in there,^__^

      either way [C-S] participation deadline is May 25th so
      there is plenty of time for them to take things slowly at the moment,lol..
       
    2. Thanks a lot!!! n66x
      Your reply made me sooo relieve! Let's hope that HJ don't produce the limit amount of items! (They should cause the C-S said quantities has no limit)
      Really, many many thanks!

      Will you get another Unoa too, n66x?? LOL
       
    3. ohhh there are no limitations,none that I know of, H-J are taking these preoders now and will start producing and molding the parts till they produce enough to meet the number of all the orders submitted, the shipping date they have publicly announced for now is around September BUT...Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they took a few more months to produce enough parts if the preorder quantity proves to be more than what they had initially thought they would handle..also each client's order will be shipped in different batches and different dates just as the productivity will move further along into the final stages..
       
    4. oooo i hope my order comes in early enough that i can get it in the september batch. i am really excited to build her up and blush her. still need to figure out the character design though, her face up would need a bit of thinking. but the body is kind of easier to do since it's straight forward.
       
    5. I thought I'd give a tip to all the impatient u-noa Zero lovers
      who don't mind not owning the extra optional faceplates or the used condition,
      since these dolls are currently in preorder status a lot of people are trying to sell their older 1rst version kit via Y!JA and in prices that start very friendly since the new kit price set a certain lower price limit (since 1rst version don't include the additional parts),
      visit here often.
       
    6. i ended up buying unoa zero via YJ...couldn't wait until september
       
    7. LOL ^^ And knowing it will not be there in September is an incentive as well. Maybe go for the sleeping faceplates?
       
    8. Congrats to Sailer_orbit for your girl!! Please share her pics soon she's arrive!!!
       
    9. thank you :) sure will. i have some characters in mind but it's going to be a lot of work removing seamlines and blushing and doing face ups. err need to figure out how to do that with full time job.
       
    10. congrats Sailor_Orbit! Hope you'll receive her soon and we'll get to see her~!^__^

      I just submitted my participation for the optional parts!^o^
      I only went for the elf ears/unicorn/horns/wig and sleeping faceplates sets,
      I was considering buying the set of shoes but then my friend told me
      they looked a little tasteless in those colors which i thought so too,
      so I decided to go against buying them,lol..
      I really needed them in white thought you guys buying
      the new kit are so lucky, 4 faceplates+white shoes,lol...
       
    11. oh man i just need those red heels and it would be perfect for this character i have in mind. but they're pretty pricey with the commission price.
       
    12. I wonder if you can dye those heels that you've already got?

      Some of the model collector can turn those resins/plastics into metallic like shiny with acrylic paint. Maybe some acrylic paint and coat with MSC, or spray, I don't know what to call in english, it's like a spray paint.
       
    13. I got the short heels because I like the pink and blue, but not the mintgreen, so I am spraypainting it white ^^
       
    14. I think Krylon for Plastics paint would probably work. It's supposed to bind with the plastic so it won't chip off.
       
    15. ohh that sounds like a cheaper alternative
       
    16. just wanted to notice that I have a last unoa Freak #2 for sale for 50$ ^^ with all unon/unoa light coupon ^^
       
    17. oh, I am in such a dilemma!
      I wanted a zero for absolutely ever, and she has been one of my dream dolls! and now they even optional sleeping face plates!!

      But the money are such a nightmare! especially with the crescent fees!
      What would a person in Japan need to do to get one from HJ?
       
    18. they'd need to buy U-noa Freak#2 MOOK/Magazine (amazon.co.jp link)
      and fill in and send the coupons and payment for you,

      Crescent-shop is just an option,
      you can always commission another deputy services that asks for a much smaller fee,(like 5-10%)
      We mention Crescent-shop cause they have very good reputation and a fast customer service,
      ,insurance, plus previous experience with such orders and handling of BJD kits with care,
       
    19. I have the Unoa Freak 2 coupon and am not going to use it, so if someone wants it, send me a pm.
      My Zero Latea is the love of my life, and I would love to pick up another one, but can't afford it, so I'll just stay happy with this one lovely girl...

    20. Your unoa zero is so cute, I love her face up which seems to be so precious! ^3^
      I have send my coupon, now I wait to pay for mine :D
      the waiting period until september must be soooo long! ^^'
       
    21. If I wanted to buy clothes by SADOL for a Zero should I take the size SD9 or SD13 ? or another one ?
      Thanks in advance.
       
    22. I thought Zero was similar to SD13 with size.. But can't say for sure since I don't own one, YET *hohoho*
       
    23. I'd assume her torso would be longer as well as her arms. I only know SD17 jeans from 4D fit her. SD16 female in Volks would be the closest.
       
    24. The Volks SD13 body is thicker, and shorter, from the bust down. Zero has a smaller waist and hip and a longer torso. The bust is not the same as an SD13 proportionately, but the bust measurement shakes out pretty close. It's a difference in proportion and length of torso that makes the fit much different than an SD13 (which I consider meaning a Volks SD13).
       
    25. Silly me, I MENT to say SD16 ^^; She'd never fit SD13 properly I know that much, but I've seen Unon in some SD16 clothes. Sorry~
       
    26. Here's my Erica (Marion) In SD16 Fleur de Blance

      And shoes from this set also make a great fit -as they are open pumps)
       
    27. zababee, I love the photos, the second one is stunning! I forgot my Unon has a SD16 dress too, it fits wonderfully in the torso area!

    28. can someone give me the link to all the option parts like eyes etc? i can't find it in alchemic labo. I received my unoa zeros, need to get a chance to paint them
       
    29. oh yes i was looking for the first link. oh no wonder i couldn't find them initially.
       
    30. Thanks you all for your help with my question about the sadol clothes and the SD13 ! :)
      Sad I really liked the dresses Sadol proposed for SD9 & SD13 dolls...

      Amanohara & Zababee > Your girls are really beautiful !
       
    31. Sailor_orbit ...You already have your doll :D...How long was the turn-around from purchase to you?..thanks
       
    32. It took about 2 or 3 weeks to bid to receiving the package XD Yea I don't think I could wait THAT long to receive a doll. had it been layaway, sure but all up front, yea just to anxious to receive then. I have two of them, eventually when i do all the customization work I have to sell one of them. can't afford to keep two haha.
       
    33. May I ask a question about this pre-order here? ^^;

      First, I may ask my friend who live in Japan to receive the doll for me, and I think it is possible to send order sheet in Unoa Freak 2 magazine myself? (postal from oversea). After that my friend will handle about transfer in Japan and receive package when it's shipped. Or should I mail order sheet to my friend and ask her to send order sheet via mail in Japan instead?

      Second, am I correct about the price that it costs 99,800 yen + shipping in Japan 1,000 yen? (even I extra order optional parts).

      Thank you in advance :) So exciting about the pre-order :D
       
    34. P' ray! I don't know you're interested in Unoa too,lol. I'm one of the webboard ghost at ThaiBJD.

      Umm, I don't know if this'd help or not. The application form for Unoa has to be paid before send to HobbyJapan, according to my deputy. She said that the money has to be sent by mailing order and then send the receipt with the application form for Unoa to HobbyJapan. And you had to pay before 22May, but the application form can be sent within 31May.

      And second, she didn't ask me for shipping cost in Japan, instead she ask for 200 yen for postage (for the money mailing order).

      Hope this help naka!

      My deputy said that she visit a dollshow in Tokyo, she took me these shots.

    35. Oh, I remember you ka XD
      I see. Thank you a lot for information ja. I have some more questions but I'll note to you then X3
       
    36. yeah it's best to send the application card to your Helping hand that way they can read and follow all the rules mentioned there, you'd have to hurry but there's still enough time!^___^
       
    37. CoreDrill thank you so much for these shots!!!!!:D OMG I thought I could live without the sleeping face plates but OMG These shots have convinced me other wise!!!!:shudder... Those half closed eye face plates are just OMG... Everything I ever dreamed of:love.... Pardon my ignorance, but those are mods correct? I thought they were "Sleeping Head Plates" not "Dreaming":drool
      ~Anthony
       
    38. yes they are mods, they were made by the artists in the tutorials printed on the U-noa Freak#2 MOOK ,
      where they showcase how you can sand and open the sleeping eyes giving them a new original shape,
       
    39. Thanks for the reply n66x you're the best:fangirl:

      Wow, simply AMAZING!!!:love... I can not wait to get my Sleeping plates modded!!!!:love.... This means I may have to buy the Unoa Freak #2 book after all:doh
      ~Anthony
       
    40. Thank you so much for your information~! Right now I'm asking friend to read info for me XD So I could explain how it works to person that live in Japan (She's not into this hobby X3). Ah... this is so exciting XD
       
    41. The Beautiful Doll me too, !! I though I'd sell the sleeping head but after seeing this I'm not as sure as before.
      Yes they're mod. From sleeping face plates to dreaming. I saw somone scan some pages from UnoaFreak2, about modding the eyes! I'd upload the picture but this computer can't read from my thumbdrive, and I can't remember the link. Anyway when I go to univ. I can do that for you.^_^
       
    42. Thank you so much CoreDrill for your amazing offer:chibi.... And of course n66x for being always on the money!!!!!!:fangirl:

      I can not wait for my girls:XD:
      ~Anthony
       
    43. Oh, Thanks n66x! Yeah, I can't find those scans,sorry. Seems like I saw them but didn't save them.
      You're the best, n66x!
       
    44. My deputy sent the ordering form yesterday! Now, the rest is waiting. Whole 5++ months.
       
    45. Hello UnoaZero lover's,:fangirl:
      I need a push.
      I'm on the fence on weather or not to join the preorder.If I join; she will be my 2nd SD.(1st is SD16)..Will SD16 clothes and shoes fit a Zero?..How hard is it to find clothes for her?...Are the shoe in the kit the only shoes that will fit?...Thanks for your input :)
       
    46. mymy,

      You will totally not regret getting her. She is absolutely beautiful in person and I love her posing! :aheartbea Yes, she should fit in most SD16 clothing but unfortunately not their shoes. If you look through this thread a bit, you should find lots of helpful advice on where to find shoes and clothing.

      P.S. I sew anything on commission for these girls. ;)
       
    47. I just got a new dress for my Zero from ledolls.com, and it fits beautifully! It was very reasonably priced, and arrived in two days!

      [​IMG]
       
    48. Nice dress for a very beautiful girl ! :chocoheart
      Will keep the link of this company too....
       
    49. Ok, order is in and now I am poor but looking forward to getting my girl a twin so that I finally will be able to have both Marion and Latea out and about at the same time ^^

      Now for the wait, sigh, happy times!
       
    50. Those shoes!:D...where did you get them?..:)
       
    51. Well I ordered her:fangirl:..this the most I've ever paid for a ABJDl:sweat..now the wait begins;)
       
    52. I can happily say that I will be a future owner of a Unoa Zero Latea :D wah my dream doll!!!! I never thought I would get her, this preorder was like a dream come true :3
      I just paid and now I am really broke >__> But it will be worth it!!! Better start hunting for outfits and stuff :) I want to have everything ready by the time I get her (which should be just when my exams are over in the second semester and I graduate) ^___^ Best graduation present ever! :D Wah I am so excited!
       
    53. wally, the dress and shoes look great on her!

      I just paid for my optional horns/ear/wig parts and dozing faceplates. I asked for two quotes, the other included the cherry wig, but the difference was $50 and I didn't think it would be perfect for any of my dolls to spend that much on it.
       
    54. ebay! They are a bit snug, but can be slid on, with stockings, fairly easily. pm me, and I'll send you a link to the seller, or I'll look up their store and post it here in a bit. She can stand in them, but I wouldn't leave her standing without adult supervision!

      For those of you who have ordered a Zero, I have to tell you, this girl is the light of my life. New dolls come and go, but my Zero is beloved! I always go back to my Zero. There's just something about her. I paid a fortune in the second hand market for her, she is def my most expensive doll, and worth every penny. If you don't go gaga over yours, you can likely sell her in the second hand market and not lose money, so it's certainly worth snagging one up while you can.
      I was tempted to order another, and ordered Unoa Freak 2 so that I could, but the one I own is such a treasure, I decided against a new one. If you don't already own one, and want one, you have to give it a shot while you can!
       
    55. Person at Japan just sent my order to Hobby Japan on 19th May, but she didn't sent the receipt to me OTL
      So I wonder how to know Hobby Japan has received order and payment? Because the helper said they haven't sent any of confirmation yet through email or sms (if method is available). I'm just kind of worry ...
       
    56. Oh...well, me too.......OTL
      Well, I'm off to ask my deputy.
