Yeah so I really like this pack, this is exactly why I didn't get the Titus wave Star-Lord. I will start with Star-Lord because while almost exactly the same toy that's still available there are some minor differences. The only sculpt difference seems to be the facial hair looks a little less grown in and the hair is a bit cleaner. The paint is where more notable things pop up, generally the two pack version appears to sport a lighter color scheme almost across the board and the guns have less paint now. The black on the helmet is darker and his face looks shinier like he's just finished exfoliating. He has the Walkman but it's just a black piece of sculpted plastic, it's nice but tiny and it should have been blue.

Ego is the moving force that made me buy this and for me he does not disappoint. The articulation is what one would expect and some, the torso joint is actually a fully functioning ball-joint instead of the usual hinge so he gets a wide range of movement and it looks a bit better than the hinge probably would've. The sculpt is strong including little details that Hasbro could have overlooked or just painted on and while the figure doesn't have the best likeness Hasbro's ever done it is still definitely Kurt Russel. The beard is probably what's throwing it off. Mine has a little bit on the serious face where some gray from the beard bleeds over under his lips and yes under strong light you can make out shades of green in his eyebrows but under standard observation the heads both look great and I think they did a good job more subtly expressing his emotions. All I could have asked for to improve upon things was maybe some energy effects.

I definitely gotta own plastic Kurt Russel.
