She’s been on my desk since then, and I couldn’t be happier with her. Thanks, BM.

Agreed. The third illustration from the Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire story arc is my preferred of the three looks. I’m hoping they give us that version because it would increase the likelihood of getting Vulcan in his kingly raiment, the Havok design from that story, along with a redrafted/modern Warpath and possibly a new green and yellow miniskirt wearing Rachel. Most may not be aware, but the first Polaris we got was from the same storyline.

As far as 2022’s best Marvel Legends:

Galactus (really top 1-10, but…)
Dr. Strange
60th Spidey
Morg (despite the shoulder markings for (L)eft and (R)ight)
Blue Marvel
Baron Zemo
Hammerhead
Shocker
Daredevil
Black Panther (comic)

EDIT I also agree with the sentiment that Spiral might just be the most innovative Marvel Legend of all time, but that's because she has six arms...beautiful figure with excellent proportions and far superior to their previous effort.

Honorable mentions:
Skrull grunt
Nova
Binary
Knull

Interesting Rehashes:
Ulik (The new head, hands and necklace made more of a difference than I would have thought)
Ragnarök Thor (spinning Mjolnir made the purchase well worth it)
West Coast Avengers non-phasing Vision (a nice call-back addition for those of us that picked up the three pack phasing version years ago)
Retro War Machine
Retro Scorpion

Cool odd-balls:
Jigsaw
Bombastic Bagman
Maggot
Toad
