Ugly sculpt of what I intended as a one-shot character.

You created a visually incredible character, JB. Naturally, later creators haven't let her go. I'm expecting to see a Lego minifigure one day.

The face they’ve given it looks somewhat like Vanessa Kirby, who has expressed interest in playing Malice in an upcoming “Fantastic Four” movie.

People are complaining it doesn’t expose enough.

Hasbro's Marvel Legends are generally not well done either looks wise or articulation wise. Their only saving grace IMHO is that they're cheap in comparison to the vastly superior offerings coming out of Japan and China and Hasbro will do characters that none of the import companies will do. I only have a few of them in my collection because no one else is doing something like the George Perez version of the Manwolf / Stargod character.

Wellll, in this case, this could be a valid complaint - see the Action Figures thread. They could be complaining about the red midriff.

For the record (since I’m the one that posted in that thread), I’m not complaining about wanting more skin. I’m just amused that the solution was to slap red paint on what was sculpted as a bare belly.

I don’t recall any such “censorship” of previous figures. Red Sonja, for instance. Or the slave girl version of Princess Leia.

BTW - The current FF run had a variant of Malice show up a few months ago.  She was from another Earth where Sue Storm used her powers full out to protect herself in a battle.  And then she woke up from the dream.  And discovered she had killed an entire city full of people all around her.
