Jezebel Black & White Blood Splattered Variant is found at the Bristol International Comic Festival by MY Daughter....

Who could have guessed that all that time on the Forbidden Planet International table (the guy pictured sold it to us) at the top of the hall sat an unopened Black & White Bloody variant of Jezebel? Not the toy dealers that's for sure! Me (PLMK) my Wife and my Daughter (Janey) entered late on Sunday around 2 PM and headed straight for the www.scifiwarehouse.com tables Living Dead Dolls, Janey had only discovered them yesterday and was already hooked after we had bought a set of the 5 mini dolls. Today we had returned to buy a larger one. They had the normal coloured kind and one sealed BW variant. I pointed out that there might be a rare one inside, my Wife walked away "mumbling" something like "waste" & "money" so I quickly paid up with my credit card.

Janey opened it a few minutes later, "cool" she said "it's got Blood on it". And there it was,a Jezebel Blood Splattered Black & White Variant one of one in the set of 5 variant Dolls in the whole world! Together with a mail away certificate that hints of further treasure from Mezco.
