Sideshow Collectibles teased the upcoming Hell Priestess Cenobite earlier this month, but the artwork doesn't compare to seeing the actual premium format figure in person. Making its debut on the Comic-Con show floor, the Hell Priestess must be seen up close to be truly appreciated.
I had reservations about this latest Cenobite creation after seeing the initial teaser art, but the pose, base, and full figure design easily won me over. This figure is not just a female copy of Pinhead, with its pierced hands, skinned legs, and an exposed back being nice added touches that make the Hell Priestess a clever mix of the skinned versions of Uncle Frank / Julia and our favorite pin-headed Cenobite.
The base and pose also continue Sideshow's push to make their premium format figures a centerpiece in your home. In this case, the Hell Priestess is floating out of Lemarchand's box, with the figure and box doing a balancing act that puts this piece in a class of its own.
There's no word on a price, but I'd guess we'll see it in available for pre-order in the $400 - $500 range. We'll keep Daily Dead readers posted on pre-order plans and new announcements, as his is said to be the first of multiple Clive Barker-inspired figures from Sideshow Collectibles.
