Alchemic Labo Unoa Discussion Part 5

[Invie]

Thank you!

Ah Unoa heads and faces are much smaller than standard MSDs like the ones from Volks. Generally next to other MSDs they can look pin headed. Their head circumference is 16.5cm (6.5inches) vs 18.5 (7.3inches) MnF head (older sculpts) or volks which are almost 8 inches around. I know all this because I'm trying to figure out some sculpts to fit my 6 androids. Two or three will be unoa sculpts, with one MnF Kyle and one Dollmore Judith. That's what I've figured out so far but it might change in the future if they Unoa's don't look right with the others or vice versa.

For wigs I was told it's usually 6-7.
But on most sites it's usually 6-6.5 ot 7-8.
Do you usually opt for the 6-6.5 or 7-8? Is it really a big difference?

Thanks again XD;

[hello_sunshine]

unoa's usually wear 6-7 or 6-6.5 I believe 7-8 would fit them loosely unless you have something to hold the wig in place like Velcro.

[Invie]

I use leekeworld size D on my girl but her official wig is on preorder. The D size is labelled as 6~6.5 inches but can stretch to fit 7 inch heads as well.

EDIT:It's a huge difference. I don't think a 7-8 wig would stay on at all unless velcroed/etc because the unoa head isn't even 7 inches.

I can jump in here!

6-6.5 for SURE, and also, 12mm eyes sometimes can look a little large! But using a low dome and placing them just so gets them to fit just right. But 10mm makes your doll look more mature if that is the look you are going for. My girl wears ED12mm flat backs and they are juuuuust right.

Unoas are so much smaller then I think they are!

[Roterwolkenvogel]

My Unoas all wear 10mm eyes and 6-6.5/6.7 inch wigs.

[hane]

Mine also have 10mm and wig 6-7
The same as my narae and pipos po11

[aishiteru]

10 mn wow O.o! Me 12-14 mm ! !!!

I wrote this in the Unoa-discussion pt 4 regarding unoas and eyes.... (I'm not quoting to avoid killing the pictures):

dambuster01, I definitely recommend low-dome in almost every occasion for doll eyes. In my experience the high dome is only in the way for placing the eyes and doesn't add anything in the way of looks.

As for 12 mm eyes, yes, the eye itself needs to to be 12 mm to cover her eye well. The question is, what size iris do you want? Do you want the large, innocent look, or the smaller, realistic look?

This is a 6 mm iris:


This is a 5.5 mm iris, and as it happens a pair of CiG eyes with low dome...

[hane]

Just for a try I've put Yuuki's 12mm eyes, normal dome

[.quantum.dot.]

hane, your girl is exceptionally pretty! These eyes suit her imho.

[nihil]

Hane, your Yuuki is really pretty girl, I love her!

I have a little question about Unoa Chibi body.
Is it true that the arms and hands from Unoa Sist/Lusis fit to Unoa Chibi body?
I like the overall chibi body, but I don't like those chubby arms and fingers...

[candy kitten]

please forgive me because it has probably been asked a bigillion times but what body is best for a lusis...I
have looked at all the comparison links to bodies and my head is a bit muzzy now....I narrowed it down to 2
which is the minifee body and the souldoll kid body....any advice would be great

[aishiteru]

Queen Quiet, she is really amazing sist :3

[hane]

Thanks girls, I changed her eyes back to her own Those are lovely but to dark right now for her

[hello_sunshine]

The marketplace hasn't had anything nice lately as far as Unoa clothes go...

can anyone give me some suggestions or links to some good places please?

I haven't bought my girl anything for months

[hane]

I recommend FoxyBrowny

[Quiet Queen]

Ooo! Of course I have oogled wimukt's stuff on Etsy, but on the FoxBrowny's site it's a much larger selection! How nice!!

Does anyone happen to know if Dikadoll's jointed hands resin color would match a Unoa Normal skin tone? Or which skintone from DD would be closest to it?

Thanks in advance ^^

[Invie]

I own various pieces from Dikadoll (heads, hands, and dolls) in White, Pure White and apparently two different shades of Normal Yellow.

Pure White - blindingly paper white
White - Very pretty pinky white.
Normal Yellow 1 - quite yellow. Similar to volks pure normal
Normal Yellow 2 - More yellow than unoa but could be blushed to match.

I believe the Normal Pink is quite pink while unoa resin is more of a middle-ground peach. your best bet would be to get either NP or NY and blush to match. I have no idea what the yellowing situation on dika resin is but my year old White MSD is still as white as when she came to me but she stays in the dark most of the time. You could try yellowing a NP or White set of hands to match the Unoa.
