Pinky Street Pinky:St - What Is It?

Pinky Street figures are all the rave in Japan! A cross between anime-style and female Tokyo fashion trends, they are 5 inch collectible figurines that come with fully interchangeable parts: bangs, hair, head, torso, legs, hats, purses, animals, backpacks etc.

These figures are issued out by Vance Project and Baby Sue, and so far there are 4 sets of 3 figures. Repaints of the first two sets have been released as well with repaints of #8-10 coming out in December. Two of these sets are accessory sets with no head. There's also a set with weapons, stand and magic wands.

Pinky Street has recently released cosplay figures as well. A Captain Animate figure, Asuka and Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Arcueid from Shingetsutan Tsukihime have been released. There has also been talk of a Blue haired figure being released.

In April, the 'rmPinky' set will be released. There have been three special box collectible Pinkies to date: Pinky Street #1 Special Box, Pinky Street Perfect Playing Guide Book with figure, and Pinky Street in Town Vol. 1.

 

Doesn't the fourth attachment look like some Bleach fan took it??

anyways if anyone would like to see most of the figure images, I can scrounge some up.

 

haha.. you could have asked Actually the five Pinkys you see running around this site (so far) only 2 have their original hair (that is Arcueid's and Yasuko's #4 & #7) and probably all of them are wearing outfits they didn't come with.

Yours, FR, is a bit special haha.. it's Asuka's hair without the pigtails and Rei's face. Rei's face is very cute and gets covered by most of her bangs. I have to admit.. the first Eva cos set I got, Asuka was missing a pigtail. I was so mad I just bought another set for way cheaper then the first. Ebay is my friend.

Ok, so I'll scrounge up some images then. So you can all see which bodies come with which Pinkys then.

 

I've been getting mine off ebay. but there is also http://www.hlj.com/ www.otaku.com http://www.tokyocentral.com/ and http://www.collectorsnetusa.com/ just google 'Pinky Street'. I'll get future ones from hlj, hlj is good for new Pinkys and ones that are coming out soon, but when I got interested in them, the slightly older ones were sold out. I got a few from collectors net usa, tokyocentral and one from otaku.com off ebay.

 

You know, there's quite a few cheap knock-offs out there. I wouldn't be surprised. Where are these stores?

 

Hey, welcome! Are you talking about the first picture, '22.jpg' in the first post? I've never seen that pinky The apron in the image isn't really hers. It's the apron for the Captain Animate Pinky figure. If yours is black, then I don't think it's a rip-off. But I haven't heard much about her. I'm now seeing auctions for it on ebay.

 

Thanks for the link, I think she's in the cos category with the brunette Captain animate.

I live in Canada, and I've been getting Pinkys off ebay and www.hlj.com, on the back of the packages, they show you a few things you can do with the Pinky figures. I'm a bit confused what you mean by 'what is required' err if I recall correctly my 001 Pinky says ''Find your One' or something. That just means get other Pinkys and change them around take off their bangs, hair, change the hair around, take clothes from other Pinkys to find the perfect Pinky for you. You can have fun with just one, but if you get more, you can have more fun. Right now you have the blue haired Tencho Ramika : http://www.sarkywench.com/japan/kawaii/dolls/pinky/pinkycos/

If you get a brunette for your next Pinky, it may look a bit weird to have brown bangs and blue hair in the back, but hey it's been done ^___^ I'd say the most annoying hair to customize is Rei's from Eva. those white things don't come off. So, it's hard for another Pinky to have blue hair and not look like Rei.

oh. The Pinky in my banner is a combo of two Pinkys. I took the face of a special box Pinky, and stole Pinky 001's hair and clothes. Voilà.

These are my fave Pinkys among the ones I have. But they aren't sold that way. They come from me having bought: 2 special box versions, Pinky 001, Pinky 10, Pinky 12, Pinky 004 and the suitcase from Pinky 008.

 

I went to another forum, I forget which one, but most of the users were from Malaysia area, and could easily get knock-offs to do those kinds of things. I have a book (it's in Japanese though) showing how you can do that, they use some form of putty and paint to create hair and new clothes, but looking at the creations, the paint job isn't the same at all.

If you are planning to do that, I'd suggest finding some knockoffs, because I've never seen a fan create a Pinky from scratch, they use existing clothes and faces and carve etc. I could be wrong though, but it's easier that way.
