Life on Pinky Street

Haruhi’s bunny suit is us awesome. Not only is it a huge leap from the “safe” outfits we often see on Pinky Street dolls, it also comes with complete accessories!

Apart from the suit, it comes with bunny ears, a black bow tie, white cuffs and a white fluffy tail. However, from experience, travelling with Pinky St means having to do away with the accessories, no matter how cute they are. Some Pinky accessories are just too small that when it falls of, they’re a pain to look for. Better safe than sorry!

However, I couldn’t resist bringing the bunny ears!

Pinkies who arrive just before a trip are lucky: they automatically get to go with me. After waiting several weeks for its arrival, of course I can’t help but to show them off!

Haruhi and Caine joined me and other members of the traditional and new media to explore the hidden gems of Tagaytay. We discovered the burgeoning communities of the south with Verdana and Ayala Community Innovation, learned about honey bees at the Ilog Maria Honey Bee Farm, had a filling authentic Vietnamese lunch at Bawai’s, indulged our sweet tooth at Chateau Hestia, marveled at the treasures inside Yoki’s House, had a late merienda at the T House and finally, a feast at the Kanin Club.

More about this tour coming soon on Justwandering.org.

After almost a month, my Haruhi Suzumiya finally made it to my house.

I really love how they made her into a Pinky Street doll. With her uniform and the oh so naughty bunny suit, Baby Sue and Vance Project made it clear that their dolls aren’t for little girls only!

Pinky St. has joined the fray and like countless other figure companies are releasing its version of the characters of the popular manga and anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Suzumiya Haruhi no Y?utsu).

First to be released of the four characters is the series’ main character, Haruhi Suzumiya. Wearing her school uniform, complete with her yellow hair ribbons and thumbs up pose, and an extra body wearing a bunny suit and a pair of bunny ears, Haruhi is sure to be a hit with fans of the comics and the show.

Hobby Link Japan is selling Haruhi Suzumiya and taking pre-orders for the other Pinkies to be released in the coming months. Each Haruhi Suzumiya Pinkies costs 1,600 yen, sans shipping.

The Pinky St version of the AirGear manga and anime character Ringo was and still is, one of the most sought after Pinky Street dolls by collectors.

Released in December 2005, Ringo is a special limited release, sold with the AirGear volume 12 manga. When Ringo was first released, she was priced at 1,905 Yen (approximately US$17) at HLJ.com. These days, however, a brand new Ringo at $40 is already considered very cheap.

Ringo Noyamano’s Wikipedia entry reads:

Ringo Noyamano (??? ?? Noyamano Ringo) looks like your everyday junior high school girl. However, she is actually the successor of the legendary Storm Riders team, Sleeping Forest . She is also the current Thorn King (Queen) of the eight ‘Kings’ in the AT world. Ringo is in love with Ikki but does not dare to tell him. She helps Kogarasumaru in times of trouble under the guise of Croissant Mask (Croissant Kamen). Ringo is a King Class AT user, wielding the techniques of Sonia Road; meaning she has superhuman agility at the price of suffering every blow she deals to her opponent.

As someone who hasn’t read the manga or watched the anime, that made absolutely no sense to me. I really should start reading more into the manga and anime tie-ups of my Pinkies lol

Ringo Noyamano Pinky

Ringo comes with her trademark glasses, with an extra pair of neon sunglasses. She also comes with an alternate top, a red sweatshirt with an apple emblem (ringo is the Japanese word for apple). Of course, Ringo wouldn’t be complete without her orange skates with two sets of tires.

Welcome home, Ringo

 
I found Ringo on eBay, being sold by a fellow Pinky-street.com forum member. She was already opened, but in excellent condition. For an already opened rare Pinky, she was pretty pricey, specially with the additional cost of shipping. But for Ringo (and her gorgeous hair, it was worth it). Besides, if I bought an unopened Ringo, I just know I won’t open her. I bought her in November 2007, and it took her almost four months to get here. She was worth the wait. Welcome home, Ringo!
