Pinky: St (or Pinky Street) by Vance Project of Japan was a miniature figure line that appeared in 2003 in Japan and ceased production around 2009. A few special issue figures were released up until 2011. The figures stand 10cm (4 inches) tall and feature interchangeable mix-and-match parts. They became extremely popular for a while, particularly in Asia, and especially among young adults. Then, as is so often the case with "fads," the popularity faded rather rapidly.
I found an interesting recent blog post at the Confessions of a Doll Collector's Daughter web site that provides a fairly accurate summary of Pinky: St:

Pinky Street figures are what initially lured me in to the toy & doll photography hobby.
The now-gone Pinky-Street.com forum was the first online forum in which I became seriously involved.
They are so cute <3 That article was interesting.
They seem to me to be the forerunners of nendoroid, cu-poche, cosbaby. I have some of these newer lines and I can see the similarities (anime tv characters, swappable hair, clothes, etc)
