Whenever I do signings of my Winter Agent Juno books, I’ll be accompanied by this little cutie: a Pinky Street I cobbled together of Juno, herself! She’s rather fearsome for a little fashion lemming.
She’s compiled from the parts of at least five different Pinky Street dolls, plus an eyepatch I had to make myself out of felt. In the future I may try making a few more and using them in giveaways.
My friend Marcus came over to hang out. Apparently our version of “hanging out” means “creating the cast of a slice-of-life anime”.
We decided this would be an ensemble cast for the most part, and the show would be a series of vignettes involving high school students.
If anyone was gonna be the central cast, it would be these three: the friendly tomboy girl, the spoiled rich shoujou girl, and the eccentric president of the aviator club.
Supporting cast includes the butch lesbian friend with the deep voice, the “always cool under every circumstance” girl, and the mischievous goth chick who pretends she’s a vampire.
Here we have the weird art teacher and the stressed-out homeroom teacher, alongside the moe girl who cries a lot.
Opposite the central cast is their rivals: the sweet friend who is secretly a perv and has photographic dirt on everyone, the annoying sexually ambiguous shonen who thinks he’s better than everyone else, his pesky little sister, and his kind-hearted older sister who has a crush on the female gym teacher.
Coulda sworn I sold these or gave ’em away: King of Fighters, Pinky Street Edition.
Pinky Street figures normally look like this: adorable fashion gals whose heads, torsos, and legs can be swapped to make new characters. I’m a notorious sucker for cute shit, so I grabbed a few more since taking these photos.
The point of all this was to prep my toys for selling on ebay; here i am buying more instead!
I played with these a lot when I took these photos. Actually made quite a few configurations, but these were my favorites.

3: Friendly Ski Resort Clerk
4: Smarmy Salon Stylist
5: Slutty High School Girl
6: Cheerful Mall-Hopper
7: Depressed Aspiring Actress
8: Enthusiastic Art Student
9: Andy Wilcox (from my Daddy’s Girl comic)
10: Josie Wilcox (same comic)
11: Snooty Hipster
12: Sassy Tomboy
13: Perpetual Child

Assertive Tomboy with Bagel is my #1 though. I’ve made a couple variations of her below, with her new friend Moe Vampire-Chan.

I can’t remember where I found these. They’re small enough to fit in a Mighty Max playset; thought it was neat that they still got carded individually.
All but two of the Bandai FF7 figures made when the game first came out (missing Barrett and Red XIII, and as far as I know they never made Cid even though he was advertised).
Another item I thought I’d never own, ’til I spotted it at a local hobby shop. It was $110, and I bought it for $30 in cash and the rest in trade (traded a couple Evangelion vinyl figures that weren’t nearly as nice).
Like with all my toys, she’s not in mint condition: her earring broke off due to a stupid accident. She’s still purdy, though.
