Ahhhhh. Classic Andy Kubert face. I do agree this rather sinister looking face would have looked much better for this figure than the cutesy face but TBH before he refined his art style I think pretty much every female face he was drawing at the time pretty much looked exactly the same.

As far as her body. Yes very nice. I come from a time and place where it made very much sense to me that these females who wore skin tight spandex would naturally seem to want to maintain a nice figure so really it's never been much of an issue to me. Certainly not as much as it is with some people today. This is a magnificent body mold. And even though they have a tendency to overuse it I'm just glad it doesn't have spaghetti thighs, wobbly knees and freaky heels. Just look at it next to the Bloodstorm figure with the outdated chicken legs. And they can do a lot with paint that wouldnt necessarily require sculpted detail. As I think it was Marc Silvestri that once said "Drawing Super Heroes is just drawing lines on a naked body." This is that and this is beautiful. This figure lends to what I've been saying about the recent Rogue figure. Had they just used this model and painted certain details on it and used the added collar and forearm pieces it would have given the visual of her wearing a coat and retained most of the torso articulation. This here is a prime example of a minimistical approach on how to do a nice figure.

case in point this is her in the poster I have on my wall, she looks way more evil and I would have liked it far more if they used a facial expression like this. more a hateful grimace.

She does look very angry in that art. They should have done the figure with this type of expression.

I have to agree; Lilith is also my favorite figure in the wave, and the only one I'm considering purchasing. I don't buy many Marvel Legends figures any more, but I do have the Ghost Rider with Hell Cycle pre-ordered, and I was excited to see Lilith announced because she would go great with the Dan Ketch era Ghost Rider.

Having a poster of Lilith is pretty awesome. I have to say, though; the artists back in the day were always trying to draw the female characters to be as gorgeous as possible, with tiny waists, large chests, and pretty faces, even the demonic ones like Lilith. looking back through some of the 90s Ghost Rider art, I feel that she was always drawn to be very attractive, rather than hideous and creepy.

Yes indeed comic artists generally are always trying to draw women as "gorgeous" as possible, it's just comics, it's always exaggerated Indeed.

But yes she is rather attractive in physique, but she generally had a much more sinister face in the comics, this face seems a bit too cutesy/happy, sure it's a malevolent grin, but still doesn't to me personal really capture her correctly.

This is my favourite figure in this wave, Soley because it's a character I love, and Have wanted forever, and I never thought we'd get her, is she perfect? absolutely not, but it's a lilith figure and that's what matters, she is done pretty well for what it is, but she's pretty standard issue, but they did give her some love with hair, but the painted on fishnet is pretty blah, and the kinda too pretty/cute face is not really the character, she should have looked creepier but I'm totally cool with letting that slide because we got a Lilith! I just can't go on enough about how happy I am when Hasbro gives us deep cuts like this, and a villain for Ghost Rider, like finally, I mean in the end I don't know how much better they could have done this, so I won't compain.

I love this character so much I have a poster of her in my house, LOL.

I just love scary goth ladies who wear purple and black and do demonic stuff.

No really interest in this figure. If they had done Outcast, then I would have been interested
