Pinky Collaboration: ピンキーQ (Pinky Choro Q)

Pinky Collaboration: ピンキーQ　(Pinky Choro-Q) is a series of collaboration between Vance and Takara-Tomy. Basically the Pinkies are still themselves (not dressed up to look like other characters). Instead they are released with a Choro-Q toy.

ピンキーQ　「ピンキーwithラビットスクーター」 (Pinky with Rabbit Scooter)
The first release of this series is ピンキーQ　「ピンキーwithラビットスクーター」, or Pinky with Rabbit Scooter, released on 31 May 2006.

Pinky is represented by Yoshiko, and this time she her mouth is slightly opened (new face mould). I personally think she looks like she is making a monkey face.

She has brown eyes and dark brown hair. The hair style is the original Yoshiko hairstyle. Her outfit is a yellow t-shirt with red oval logo with a word written "rabbit" and a rabbit drawing both in white. She wears grey trousers and brown shoes (with dark brown trimming), that make me think it could be a suede leather shoes. Classy and sporty. In her box, she is in a sitting position, but hiding behind her, there is an extra leg which you can replace so she looked like sitting on the scooter with one leg extended out for balance. Very nice design.

Her hand is articulated front to back and she wear a brown mittens. She also comes with an orange scarf, the first for official Pinkies, and it is casted as if it is blown by wind. Quite nice actually.

Other accessories are a yellow tinged goggles and a blue/white helmet with yellow trimming.

The Choro-Q is a white/sky-blue scooter, which come with extra accessories to change the colour to white/grey scooter (side plates & handlebar replacement). There is one plastic part of the Choro-Q (black colour) which you can attach at the bottom of the scooter, so it can balance and you can pull back and release to launch it forward.

This is one package which box you probably do not want to throw away, as it can double up as a play mat, albeit very small size. One side is pavement, and another side is a street, with speed limit of 30 (miles/h or km/h I am not sure, but that is quite slow actually).

Overall, this is one of my favorite Pinky piece.

ピンキーQ　「ピンキー with ラビットスクーター ver.2」 (Pinky with Rabbit Scooter ver.2)
The second release of this series is ピンキーQ　「ピンキー with ラビットスクーター ver.2」 or (Pinky with Rabbit Scooter), on 30 September 2006, is basically a repaint version of the first release.

All parts are totally the same. They just come in different colour.
Yoshiko's hair is brown, and her eyes are grey. The scarf is blue, her t-shirt is red and the logo on the t-shirt is white. She wear a navy blue trousers, and light grey shoe, with white trimming. The goggle is blue tinted, and the helmet is cream/white with dark brown trimming. Her hand is articulated front to back and she wear a white mittens.

The Choro-Q is the same design, white/greenish-grey coloured, with very subtle colour change accessories. The alternative handlebar is white (original is greenish-grey), and the side plate is still white but the button is black and there is a silver rabbit logo on it.

Again, the packaging can double up as a small play mat. One side is pavement, and another side is a road, with zebra crossing, and traffic light drawn.

With this release, I seriously believe Vance has a bit of a problem with the combo of style. Either that or it is a very cunning ploy of making otaku to buy both version.

The helmet for example will look a lot better for the Pinky of original version, and the Rabbit Scooter of ver.2 also look more suitable for the original version. Overall that combo makes a classy Yoshiko with Rabbit Scooter.

Then the helmet of original version together with the Pinky of ver.2 and the Rabbit Scooter of the original version looks very nicely together, making a sporty Yoshiko with Rabbit Scooter.
