What is Pinky:st?
Information on what they are, where to buy, and how many are there.
What are they?: "The impossible to hate facial-expression and fashion-minded styles; Consecutively SOLD OUT on each new release; Kawaii mini-figure craze! -Pinky:st.-" Pinky:st (created by VANCE PROJECT) are cute, interchangeable, 4inch dolls that you can mix and match to create your own "personal" doll! Each doll comes with two sets of outfits that are interchangable with every other Pinky:st doll. Ranging from 680YEN to 1,600YEN (usually $6-$20US), it's not uncommon to see Pinky:st collectors with well over 10 (or more) dolls!
Where to buy them?: The most cheapest place to buy Pinky:st dolls is at Hobby Link Japan (where you can also preorder unreleased versions at)! But another reliable place to purchase them is at AkibaOtaku. If you wish to find more options, please visit the Pinky:st board's thread on where to buy Pinky:st dolls.
How many are there?: As of this writing (September 14th, 2004) there are a total of 22 retail Pinky:st dolls. Retail meaning, 22 of them can easily be bought through stores. There are also about 4 special Pinky:st dolls that were only available at conventions/special events in Japan. Some of these special ones (such as the one based on the game "Tsukihime") will be later sold as retail. A very graphical listing of all the current Pinky:st dolls can be found here.
