29 January – Pinky Street PC2007 "Sakura Wars" Sakura Shinguji

[neon_jellyfish]

A lady and her ammo... She looks dangerous!

[werepuppy]

She looks like she's plotting the best course of action here. Very cool.

[Alliecat]

Ooo, what an interesting Pinky! I like her outfit.
...and, an interesting setting

I don’t think the doll is the only one dreaming of sunnier climes.

Ha. You ain't kiddin'.

[Elfy]

The Pinky’s have the best facial eressions.

The Pinky’s have the best facial eressions.

Keep repeating, we don’t need another collection, we don’t need another collection

They are so cool though.

30 January – Pinky Street "Moesephine"

Moesephine is an example of the mix-and-match feature of Pinky Street figures. The face is from PK004 "Moé," while the hair, jacket, skirt, legs, and goggles are from a number of other releases.
Moesephine is based on a character created by Pinky-Street forum member "Blur" for a long-running photo-story on that forum called The Ever-Evolving Photo Story Game. I remember purchasing a number of different Pinky figures that I did not yet have in order to replicate Blur's character to add a sense of continuity to the multi-author story.
Those were fun times at the height of Pinky Street popularity, from around 2005 until 2009 or so, after which activity on the forum began a fairly sudden decline. By 2012 there were fewer than half a dozen active members, down from sometimes hundreds of new posts and comments per day at the peak.

Oh, and... stripey socks!

[neon_jellyfish]

The Fellowship of the Striped Socks is getting bigger and bigger! Moesephine is a cutie!

[werepuppy]

Moesephine is a really coolname. And yay, more striped socks!

[Alliecat]

The multi-player story sounds fun. I wonder how hard it would be to do with Pullips...? Probably a lot more complicated.
Moesephine is cute.

The multi-player story sounds fun. I wonder how hard it would be to do with Pullips...? Probably a lot more complicated.

As I was typing the caption, I began wondering if such a story-game would be popular on this forum. Probably not, as photo-stories in general seem to be much less common than in the past.

Continuity, as such, was not a requirement for the game. It started with one person posting a panel or a few panels with either word balloons or a caption that started the story. Then, on a first-come, first served basis, somebody else would post the next installment to the story, taking the storyline and plot wherever they wanted. It was much like the "Pullip Train" topic here on The Dolly Market Forum, only with brief story snippets that more or less followed one another instead of photos with one or more elements in common.

[Elfy]

The stripy socks phenomenon may take over the forum.

31 January – Pinky Street "Gunslinger Girl" Henrietta

Pinky Street Henrietta was a limited release figure based on a 2002 manga (and 2003 anime) series.

[neon_jellyfish]

She looks so stylish as she's about to slaughter what I imagine is a gang of dishonorable rogues... I love the dramatic lighting!

[werepuppy]

She looks really cool, deadly and dangerous.

I've heard of Gunslinger Girl, not actually read it though.
