I actually don't remember how I found out about them... I think I was just randomly searching other things, and stumbled upon them, which then lead me to the Pinky-Street webpage, and then the forum, then I eventually signed up, and continue to let my obsession grow....

Two Years Ago, I found two bootlegs in a place selling fake stuff. Two months later, found a bootleg Hana and snagged her for 2 dollars. Then I got 3 more bootlegs and then I got Sacchin and bought 20 more.

searching for KOF Mai figure online and the KOF pinkies came up during the search. 

I found out about Pinky St when I bought a bootleg at Sweet Kitty the anime store and looked up Pinky St on the net, it was love at first site!

The first time I saw a Pinky was also on Bara-chan's DA page, and I wanted one of my own right away ^^. It's been a few years and I still haven't gotten one, but after Christmas I'll probably order one. Eventually, I wanna make one that looks like me! Probably won't get that done until this summer though, when my big sis is gonna give me a couple hundred bucks to buy them, kekeke... 

well.haha really? i go there all the time! i love sweet kitty!
i found out about them when my neighbor came home with two bootlegs and i immediatly fell in love
i saved all my money then bought a bunch of bootlegs then relized they were fake.. i've been collecting ever since.

i like the eva and tenjo tenge pinky..and then no stop from there..but mostly on cos pinky though 

I went to a convention with a friend and she was like; "omggg! Pinkies!" and bought a few. I thought they were cute so I bought one. about two years later (this year) I remembered them and I looked them up again and went on a pinky spree XD I dont really remember how I re-discovered them, though XD;

Originally found a picture of one on flickr(which I still don't really know much about). Thought someone had made the whole thing from scratch using clay or something(Eh-heh...) So I started making little things in hopes of making something like that. However, then at con there was a stand with a bunch of them. THEN I googled it to find out what they were. XD Hadn't a clue until after I bought 'em.
