Sadly it's not a different head sculpt, it's just a packaging variant.
I got excited as well!

Just so people now...Star Action Figures have wave 18 and 19 up for pre-order. About £10 per figure so pretty good stuff.

I've ordered Kang and Scarlet Witch as they'll be the tough ones to find and will definitely be the subject of some scalping. I had to get that new punisher and the FF spidey.
I've also ordered Jubes, Prof X, Blastaar and the new hulk from Kapow.
The prices are a little more per figure than what i'd like to pay (about £15 on average) but I'm realistic.
I have crappy TRU's, a toymaster and that's about it. Unless I trek to Bristol forbidden planet I ain't getting these at retail.
The cost of travel is too much for me to risk them not having stuff so actually guys like Kapow and (especially) Star absorb a lot of the additional cost of hunting. Plus I have 100% faith in them as suppliers.

I also treated myself to the FF variant Dr Doom/Spidey comic pack from ebay. US seller dorkside toys is always a good one and he sells the comic pack figs loose.
So...at about £12 per figure i've spent the same i'd spend on a UK stockist for the actual comic pack!

Phew!
This is the sort of consideration UK collectors have to go through to ensure we get what we want.
I think i've spent an estimated £200 in the last two days on Wave 18, 19 and 21 (lord knows when 20 will be around!).
As much as I like that avengers movie it's made the backlog of MU a real admin nightmare!
