My personal favourite Vecna art is his 4e one with the spectral eye and hand

This new version has got a mesmerizing mixture of macabre and elegant. This Vecna could kick-ass Pinhead and the rest of cenobites.
* Paizo did a fabulous version of the kytons/chain demons. If I imagine Book of Vile Darkness with a litle touch by Clive Barker I can't avoid the chains from Pathfinder.
* We shouldn't be too surprised by there is a new adventure linked to Vecna causing troubles again, and a retcon of the D&D multiverse to explain the transition from 5.0. to 5.5.

Gaming is fun, and fun is for everyone
There is a lot of concept art being shown off here... it's entirely possible this was all made for the statue, but it's interesting they put so much effort into it, especially considering it is an entirely new design. It could very much be something related to a new book. The last piece here ESPECIALLY looks like something from a book, it's practically a book's cover. That said, could be box art for this statue.

I mean, mayhe it has to do with the movie, or a video game property. Vecna is a pretty key piece of OG IP for Wizards.

This is really interesting. I already knew all of this about Vecna, but hearing them talk about it kind of re-contextualizes all of it for me.
Yeah, it's interesting how they're not using "Phylactery" in this video. They're almost definitely changing that term to "Receptacle", IMO.
I definitely would love to see an adventure book revolving around Vecna. Especially if it discusses how there are multiple versions of him in the Multiverse. Maybe he existed in the First World, and that's why so many different versions of him exist?

I mean, once you establish Platonic World of Ideals "echoes" for some characters, it's hard not to spread that speculation a bit further. The idea also allows a path to allow for all the different versions of characters running around in 10 million home games...

And it could have something to do with those Obelisks that he has scattered everywhere (most prominently featured in Rime of the Frostmaiden, but also present in Curse of Strahd, Tomb of Annihilation, Storm King's Thunder, and a few others).
