Hellraiser and Hell Priestess from Sideshow
@universe63 submitted:
Just in time for Halloween, Sideshow Collectables presents the Hellraiser Hell Priestess…
I know it’s not armor but I HAD to Bingo it. I wasn’t sure how to call the garter/stocking leather boot-ish things that don’t actually go all the way down the leg. I also debated on the Skin tight square and the “How does it attach” (mostly due to those aforementioned stocking things) Given it’s Hellraiser, “Sharp Ornamental edges…” was kind of a given.
It’s kind of amazing that even the 90s comic was more committed to genuine “in your face” body horror and some originality that gave Clive Barker’s Cenobites their charm… this one looks like they decided that what horror fans really want is Lady Death cosplaying as Pinhead with a tiny bit of body horror hidden away on her back.
So it doesn’t scare anyone who wants to fap to it.

Half mark on thigh highs… because while they’re her sock/stockings they’re made of leather so they basically have all of the hazards of being boots. Nothing like the male equivalent is well, none of the guys got sexy costumes.
It is worth noting that there was an issue with this skin that Blizzard has since addressed, one so big it made gaming news headlines:
The tweak? Well people were upset that Witch Mercy still kept her traditional tagline of “Heroes never die!” instead of antagonist Witch Mercy’s tagline of “My servants never die!”
Because yeah we didn’t mention that, the reason she got this novelty skin is because she’s an enemy in the new Halloween game mode… she’s not really part of the story or anything, but she’s an enemy.
Thank goodness they fixed that up!

These are only a few of the armor designs for the MMORPG BLESS Online. As you can see, quality varies wildly between designs. It’s worth noting that these are all from the “Heavy Armor” category, so designers obviously thought they gave similar protection to the wearer. There are much worse ones that can all be seen here. I’m sad to see these cool, creative, protective designs side by side with boring objectifying bikini armor. At least they all have decent helmets.
The part I find most striking is that the bikini armor outfits look so uninspired from the front due to the use of “windows” to show off flesh.
Especially when juxtaposed with the more practical designs it really does look like they did a bunch of regular designs then had Creepy Marketing Guy come along and red line it where he wanted to put bits on display.
Sadly, it seems that this was not limited to the fronts of the outfits:
