'''Pinky:St''', also written '''Pinky Street''', are plastic ([[Polyethylene Terephthalate]]) figures [[designed]] by BabySue and manufactured by the Japanese company Vance Project. Currently 7 series of regular Pinky Street dolls totaling 19 in number (an 8th is stated for release in December, 2008) and one accessory kit have been released (the fate of a second kit has been in limbo for over 2 years), as well as repaints, accessory stickers, markers (for making custom Pinkies), and a series of DVD's and [[comic books]]. Repaints are re-issued releases of the original series dolls, with different colored [[clothes]] and/or different colored [[hair]] (as well as alternate hairstyles for the original re-paints of PK001-PK005). Repaints are differentiated from the original-color releases by sequential lettering (e.g., the first repaint for the first [[doll]] is referred to as 1A, the second repaint as 1B, etc.) The figures are compatible with 1:18 [[Scale (ratio)|scale]] [[dollhouses]], [[furniture]], [[vehicles]] and other accessories. |

Figures[edit]
Eleven original series of Pinky:st. figures have been released between 2003 and 2010. Each series consists of two or three figures with different head and clothes designs, and each figure is assigned a name and code number. For example, the first release was Yoshiko, code number PK001. Series 2 had a set of accessories and two complete figures. A second set of accessories was announced, but its release has been in limbo for over two years. Some series have been reissued as repaint versions with different colored clothes and hair, and in some cases alternate hairstyles.
In addition to the original releases, there are also many Pinky:st. figures designed by BabySue in collaboration with other Japanese artists. Some of these are based on manga and anime series like Air Gear, Fruits Basket, Gunslinger Girl, Haruhi Suzumiya, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Sakura Wars, Shakugan no Shana, Kobato, and Tenjho Tenge. A number of figures have been based on video games including King of Fighters, Mahoroba Stories, Monster Hunter, Space Invaders, Street Fighter, Tsukihime, and Wild Arms. In South Korea, Pinky:st. figures of Avata Star Sue are made.
Other collaborations include artist and designer Range Murata, Sanrio with My Melody and Kuromi, the Post Pet e-mail software and the Japanese fashion brands Mono Comme Ca and Super Lovers. Collaboration with the Choro-Q line of toy cars has resulted in two Pinky-sized Rabbit Scooters and a Messerschmitt car.[1]
