As usuall, the doll kits are purchased through a lottery system, only the chosen people will be able to buy the doll kits. And to join the lottery, you need a japanese contact information and have to know how to speak japanese as they required. This restrict lottery system made Unoa dolls one of the most exclusive BJD, but still they are really popular because of the quality and reputation.

Here's the pictures released by the company  of the new dolls

 

Zest

Xyle

 

As shown from the photos, not only there are two types of body (zest and xyle have different shoulder in the 1st picture), the new body also have some improvements on mobility.

The faceplates are changable, and you can move the eyes with a built-in device in the doll head, just like other Unoa dolls.

These detailed and exquisite body designs made Unoa dolls one of the best.

However if you are not living in Japan and don't know any friend who's in Japan, it is really hard to get one.

 

How to get an U-noa doll?

You can buy them on Noppin； http://noppin.ocnk.net/   but normaly the doll kits are all sold out and you can only buy the faceplates and some other accessaries. Sometimes there will be auctions on Yahoo Japan, and you will need to find an agency to help you bid in the auction. Many people do it through Noppin http://www.noppin.com/, but there are always many other ways. Luckily, you may also find people selling their old dolls on doll forums like DOA, http://www.denofangels.com/. As for Ebay, the chances to find them is small, and even if you find some they are usually over priced too much. But recently I find someone selling the very limited 1/3 scale edition, Unoa Zero on ebay. I was so surprised that I can find it there....http://www.ebay.com/itm/Latea-Marion-Unoa-Zero-Araki-Gentaro-Alchemic-Labo-Super-Dollfie-/281010511139?pt=US_Dolls_Bears_Toys&hash=item416d881d23   It's very expensive but for a reason. Check it out if insterested, cuz it's hard to see them around....
