Anyone ever used the anipike?

The roughly mid-90's and earlier (generally pre-Toonami, pre-anime boom) era of anime & manga fandom: early cons, clubs, tape trading, Nth Generation VHS fansubs, old magazines & fanzines, fandubs, ancient merchandise, rec.arts.anime, and more!

Kiss dolls! I still have some from the Kisskae page from way back burned onto disc!

You are proof that I am in good company. I was a BIG fan of Kiss Kae. I remember a Kiss content maker called the Scarecrow and I was into his Kiss Kae puzzles. I hope his stuff is still out there. I always wanted to make my own Kiss Kae puzzles. I still want to do that some time in the future. I am going to have some fun with Kiss dolls this week. I am on vacation until Monday. I got some chores that will be completed by early afternoon today and the rest of the week will be mine. We can talk Kiss this week!

omgggg I used to be obsessed with those things! I used to have some on disc somewhere, too, but I'm pretty sure I lost it when I moved. Bummer.

When I find mine, I'd be happy to share them, I have a ton!

Thank's Ryoran! I hope you can find those files. I misplaced my KISS files; and I had some really good dolls too!

I came across it not too long ago, so I know it's somewhere in my spindle of discs. Haha!

Oh wow. Kiss dolls! I remember those! For many of them, you could keep grabbing the undies until they finally could be removed. My friends and myself got lots of giggles over that. IIRC, didn't they have an animated version of KISS that came out?

I remember some of them having blinking eyes, and music at times. When I find the files I'm going to put them up for everyone to download, it's so nostalgic~

It's the end of an era, folks....Anipike finally went offline: http://animenostalgia.tumblr.com/post/1 ... -shy-of-20

Poor Trixie Turnpike has to find a new job now. :cry:
