One of the most exciting things to have happened to Pinky:st world, is the Pinky:st game for Nintendo DS! Many of us will be buying, not only the game, but also the console! (I know I am!). Impatient to see what's it about? Read on,
Khursten will tell you exactly what to expect - and see for yourself just how cute this game is, because there are screenshots too!

This year's Winter WonderFest was a bit of a poor even for Pinky:st fans. However, the coming up GOFA exibition will sell limited Pinky:st figure, replicas of the Pinky stuffed animals and other merchandise. The figure seems to be a repaint of Kokoro.

It seems that a CG animation featuring Pinky:st figures is in the works. It will be a 10 minute DVD, and it will come with one of 2 figures, available sometime in summer 2006.

Just like Ringo, Agito is sold with the limited version of AirGear manga vol. 13. But unlike Ringo, Agito is a boy! There are subtle differences between this figure and the Pinky:st figures we're all used to. His arms are thicker and he has a flat chest. ^^

You may have noticed our new look - the site is not quite finished, but we're hoping to get it done soon.

They plague all admins, but we were lucky not to have lost any data! We've successfully migrated from the unstable phpBB to SMF, and we got extra functionality!

We've been gossiping about this release ever since Ringo Pinky:st was released, because on her box, a small clue was left by the makers of Pinky:st, and it foretold that Agito will be next. This was quite suprising news, as Agito is a boy, and Baby Sue always maintained that there will never be Pinky:st boys. Well, whatever the reason, Agito is being released on March 17th.

We worked very hard to replace the standard "skin" with something that's more "Pinky". It doesn't look exactly like our "old" forum, because it's been updated and hopefully made even easier to browse.
This year Wonderfest is taking place on February19. Baby Sue as usual made an appearance there, sadly, Vance Project were missing, so no limited edition Pinky:st figures or merchandise were sold.
