Figures
Eight original series of Pinky:St figures have been released between 2003 and 2009. Each series consists of two or three figures with different head and clothes designs, and each figure is assigned a name and code number. For example, the first release was Yoshiko, code number PK001. Series 2 had a set of accessories and two complete figures. A second set of accessories was announced, but its release has been in limbo for over two years. Some series have been re-issued as repaint versions with different colored clothes and hair, and in some cases alternate hairstyles.
In addition to the original releases, there are also many Pinky:St figures designed by BabySue in collaboration with other Japanese artists. Some of these are based on manga and anime series like Air Gear, Fruits Basket, Gunslinger Girl, Haruhi Suzumiya, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Sakura Wars, Shakugan no Shana, Kobato, and Tenjho Tenge. A number of figures have been based on video games including King of Fighters, Mahoroba Stories, Monster Hunter, Space Invaders, Street Fighter, Tsukihime, and Wild Arms. In South Korea, Pinky:St figures of Avata Star Sue are made.
Other collaborations include artist and designer Range Murata, Sanrio with My Melody and Kuromi, the Post Pet e-mail software and the Japanese fashion brands Mono Comme Ca and Super Lovers. Collaboration with the Choro-Q line of toy cars has resulted in two Pinky-sized Rabbit Scooters and a Messerschmitt car.

Famous quotes containing the word figures:
“She, while her lover pants upon her breast,
Can mark the figures on an Indian chest.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
