I'm in agreement on the Spider-Woman costume, both in comics and in action figure form.

The old costume, while iconic and classic, also carries a definite 'created in the 70s' aesthetic that kills its appeal to me. I don't know how to explain it beyond that, because there's a lot of costumes from that era that are arguably 'timeless,' but something about Jessica's outfit just hasn't aged as well as the rest. The updated look, while sharing some similar aesthetic choices with other modern costume updates (such as the Batgirl of Burnside costume, which has been pointed out ad nauseam), feels sleek, comfortable, and unencumbered, which is definitely a plus in a superhero design, and is still easy to recognize, with the mask-like sunglasses design and the emblem boldly emblazoned on the front. She looks like she's a hands-on crime fighter, rather than the older costume, which emphasized a more hands-off feel.

And as an action figure, it just feels better than the previous one. I never actually bought the Thanos-wave Jessica Drew, because on top of me not liking the costume, the figure just didn't make itself a standout. Like lordbest said, it was another bodypaint-looking spandex bodystocking. And while I have a love for those, I need more variety for my superheroes, and this design helps set her apart, what with having more individual new pieces and a very nice paint job, with a very impressive face sculpt. And she doesn't come with those wonky oversized hands! (they're my one complaint about the A-Force Lady Loki figure, too)

Also, the new Jessica looks great next to Riders Widow and Onslaught Mockingbird.
