Veronica!

Veronica at Bleeding Edge is such a sweetie. She's called me twice from California to talk about my order, and everything has arrived in perfect condition. I'd recommend ordering straight from the company, even if you're an overseas collector. Their customer service is amazing.

Thank you BEGOTHS!

You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for my honourable mention in the Drawing Blood contest. I am so happy! Now I can get the regular Serpentina, the last regular doll that I needed. Yay!

A brief introduction...

I have been collecting these Bleeding Edge beauties for just over a year now. It all started with a fancy dress shop in the nearby city that also stocked some collector figures. My eye wasn't caught by the morbid looking Living Dead Dolls or the grotesque Spawn series, but to one solitary beauty in the midst of all these horrors.

Her name is Raven Dragonfire, and so she became the first of what was to become a rather substantial gathering...
