U-Stella Releases Lumia VRChat Avatar Update v1.5.9, Final Build Due End Of 2026
U-Stella Group Holdings released update v1.5.9 for its VRChat original 3D avatar Lumia on October 27, 2026.
Reporting from 1 source: PANORA.
Why it matters
The patch that ends Lumia's update cycle is already dated: v2.0.0 is planned to add full facial tracking, 2P color, makeup textures, a hugging gimmick, and petting sounds, so the avatar's supported feature set is being closed out on a fixed schedule rather than an open roadmap.

The patch adds desktop support for the avatar's candy feature, so it now works in environments without a VR device, and fixes a bug that displayed the avatar preview too small. The update follows a run of changes since June 2026 that added a flight mode, a tag feature, and hair emission, plus fixes to appearance saving and syncing and menu display adjustments. The candy feature arrived in v1.5.6 on July 10, 2026, got a sync fix in v1.5.7, and was enhanced in v1.5.8 on August 11, 2026. U-Stella lists v1.5.9 as the first public update since v1.5.1; the intervening version numbers and dates are used for internal development management. The final update, v2.0.0, is scheduled for around the end of 2026. Lumia sells for 7,777 yen, tax included, and has been on sale since Monday, December 15, 2025.
The version log behind v1.5.9 runs back to early June 2026. v1.5.3 on June 10 added flight mode, an NPV UI see-through feature, and the tag feature, along with hair emission and an idle motion change option. It also made hair and chest PhysBones touchable, added icons to some menus, cut consumed parameters to improve sync delay, and fixed a bug where the user did not return from transparent mode as seen by another person.
Later patches were smaller:
- v1.5.4, June 20: fixed accessories sometimes not attaching in the correct position, and set hair emission to ON by default.
- v1.5.5, June 24: fixed an issue caused by the bone structure.
- v1.5.6, July 10: renamed the tag feature's "Focus Mode" to "Eating," added candy, and added PhysBone settings.
- v1.5.7, July 11: fixed a candy syncing bug.
- v1.5.8, August 11: enhanced the candy feature.
The final v2.0.0 build also plans a product banner, a sample video, and a dynamic PV. U-Stella Group Holdings is based in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, with Aloha Harada as representative member. The company has been advertising Lumia with a poster in FUJIYAMA, a VRChat gathering place for Japanese speakers run by Chihaya of FUJIYAMA PROJECTS, and added a pop-up noting that a sample avatar can be tried on before purchase.
