davidd's A Doll A Day 2018

24 July – "And I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!"

The initial idea was for a plain photo illustrating the minor differences (green eyes on the left, brown eyes on the right, and outfit color) between two version of the same Pinky Street figure, PK003 and PK003B Tamae. But the girls got adventurous, and decided to elore the abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town....

I've never seen a Pinky Street in real life, are they totally fixed figures, or do their heads move?

The concept behind Pinky Street figures was "mix-and-match." Most Pinky figures disassemble into the following basic parts: head, upper body, legs, skirt, hair-front, and hair-back. They often include small accessories, like the bow tie seen here, or purses and handbags (not pictured).

The pieces from every Pinky Street release are interchangeable with every other Pinky Street figure, allowing outfits, hairstyles, and accessories to be swapped in a nearly endless variety of ways.

The last three or four "series" of releases, from Series 9 through Series 11 (starting with PK025), were molded of a lower grade vinyl and the size of the figures was slightly smaller, so the compatibility of the pieces is not always consistent with older figures. But all the figures up through Series 8 (PK024) have seamlessly swappable parts and accessories.

The figures stand about 10cm (4 inches) tall.
