About Steve Varner    
Working as a Sculptor at Mattel in the 1970’s was a rare experience. I had the pleasure of working for and with some extremely talented Sculptors and in a great environment. Although I had worked in the Motion Picture and TV industry for several years as a sculptor previously and was experienced with figurative and portrait work at Mattel I learned to sculpt dolls from several of the greatest doll sculptors ever assembled in one place. My company today is enriched by my experience at Mattel since not only do we sculpt action figures ( the original TMNT) Portraits and cartoon characters but we pride ourselves on sculpting premier Dolls( Liv Doll Spinmaster) which sets us apart as a company with a wide scope of talent

Bleeding Edge Introduces Manga Character Princess Ai Doll(TM)- Unique Fashion Dolls and Action Figures to be at American International Toy Fair, Feb. 20-23, 2005    
Bleeding Edge Inc.™ announces the launch of a line of fashion dolls and action figures based on the Manga character Princess Ai™. The gothic doll and toy maker will be at the American International Toy Fair where the Princess Ai™ line can be viewed and pre-ordered.

Torrance, CA (PRWEB) February 21, 2005 -- Bleeding Edge Inc.™ announced today the launch of a spectacular new Princess Ai™ toy line with 3, 7” action figures and 3, 12” fashion dolls based on the TOKYOPOP™ Manga book featuring the character.

The action figures and fashion dolls are based on the character of Princess Ai™ from the manga book “A Diva Torn from Chaos, A Savior Doomed to Love.” The result of a collaboration between alternative-rock goddess Courtney Love and D.J. Milky, the TOKYOPOP manga book features some of the most cutting-edge manga art in Japan, including character designs by famed manga-ka Yazawa Ai.

“Princess Ai™ is a great project for Bleeding Edge,” said Steve Varner, President of Bleeding Edge Inc.™ “The female heroine of the story is such an awesome character, and since we specialize in sculpting female figures extremely well she was an excellent fit for us. I knew we had to make the Princess Ai™ when my 12-year-old daughter Michelle – who is an avid fan of manga – absolutely insisted I create the action figures and dolls after seeing my first Princess Ai™ creation.”

The story of Princess Ai™ takes the reader on an amazing journey with a mysterious young woman searching for her identity in this world and beyond. A stranger in Tokyo, Ai struggles to come up with a solution for her homeland’s troubles, to understand her own abilities, and to avoid assassins from Ai-Land. Her special talent for music ends up turning her into a superstar, making hiding from her enemies more difficult but also leading her to unexpected discoveries that could be the solution to all of her problems.

The “A Diva Torn from Chaos, A Savior Doomed to Love” book is printed in the authentic Japanese right-to-left formatused for Manga, comic books named by the Japanese term that for “entertaining visual.” The Princess Ai™ action figures and dolls by Bleeding Edge Inc.™ are a true manifestation of the Manga world, ideal for all who enjoy collecting beautifully crafted action figures and fashion dolls.

The entire Princess Ai™ line will be available for viewing and advance ordering (with release scheduled for summer of 2005) at the American International Toy Fair, the largest toy trade show in the Western Hemisphere. The event annually brings together more than 1,500 industry leaders from around the world. Taking place in New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from February 20-23, 2005, the event will open at 9:00 a.m. each day. Bleeding Edge™ and the Princess Ai™ fashion dolls and action figures will be at booth #1246. More information about the Toy Fair is available at www.toy-tia.org/AITF.
