Welcome to Minor Miracles, the
Fanlisting for Artima, Alchemic Laboratory and Gentaro Araki's beautiful,
poseable, childlike creations, U-noa Quluts.
Last Updated: May 7th, 2008.
Fanlisting? What's that?
A
fanlisting is an online collective of those who enjoy a particular "something."
It's a gathering; a place for fans of a particular movie, show, actor, actress,
group, idea, etc. It's an online appreciation society, if you will, for the
like-minded and for those who want to express their appreciation through
combined support. This U-noa fanlisting is a part of the best place on the Net
for fans of anything and everything: The Fanlistings
Ok, then ... what are U-noa
Quluts?
Somewhat similar to but uniquely different than Volks Super Dollfie, U-noa (pronounced
"you-know-uh" Quluts are modern Asian resin composed ball-jointed
dolls produced by Artima, hand-painted by artist Gentaro Araki (Araki also
paints Volks Aika and Seina Unoss dolls) and distributed by Alchemic Laboratory in
Japan. Smaller than Super Dollfie at 43 cm (17"), U-noa Quluts are available in
two versions, Lusis or Sist, and have a variety of optional parts, including
expressive hands, high-heeled feet, a larger breast piece, closed-eye heads and
cat ears and tail. Like Volks dolls, U-noa can be customized with an extensive
variety of wigs and eyes, and Quluts also feature a unique mechanism that allows
left-to-right eye movement at the flick of a switch, making the need for opening
the doll's head for facial posing entirely unnecessary.
Wow! How do I get a U-noa or
two of my own?
At the present time U-noa
Quluts are very hard to come by, as they are only readily available in Japan.
Purchasing services like Masamichi Kuge's Crescent Shop in Japan
and Frank's Doll
& Hobby Shop in Deland, Florida, however, are currently trying their
best to make U-noa purchase easier and more accessible for those outside of
Japan. In fact, Mr. Kuge was recently able to convince Alchemiclabo to
accept orders during the U-noa dolls' second release this month, and hopefully
future releases will be made even more accessible!
