Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy 6-inch Legends Series Star-Lord

Came a day later than the latest estimated delivery date but that may have been to weather delays. Anyways, the figure itself looks amazing for the price, my younger brother loved it! He had just two complaints after a while of playing around with it, though:1. The head is kinda tough to take off to switch out for another one (I personally don't think this is a bad thing since if it were easy then it might pop off on its own and get lost).2. The guns are hard to snap into its hands, and I imagine with less than perfect versions of this figure it might be downright impossible. Though I find this compliant valid, I don't think anyone should avoid buying it if they're eyeing the figure! It deserves all 5 stars.

I cannot wait for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 to come out, so I jumped on pre-ordering all the GotG 2 figures I could get, Star-Lord showed up first. I also pre-ordered this figure because for whatever reason scalpers keep jumping all over Marvel Legends waves and Star Wars Black Series waves and driving certain figure prices absurdly high. These figures are great for $20, but no more than that. I'll pay $60 for the Bandai Tamashii Nation's S.H. Figuarts Star-Lord next year though. So what's in the box here:Star-Lord Figure (with Peter Quill head attached)Alternate Star-Lord helmeted head2 Quad blasters (that peg to the sides of the figures legs, nice)So this figure is definitely better than the Star-Lord we got for the first Guardians of the Galaxy from Marvel Legends a few years ago. Both head sculpts are cleaner and have more detail, the paint deco overall is better, and the guns being able to kinda holster, is a nice touch. I'm a big fan of figure's who have spots for their accessories to go. The only thing the last version has on this release, is accessories. Glad we get a 2nd head, and 2 guns, but the last figure came with a Walkman, headphones, 2 guns, 2 heads, a backpack and the orb. That's a lot, and this figure seems bare bones in comparison. Don't get me wrong, this is a good figure, better even in terms of sculpt and paint work. The articulation is identical to the last figure, thought slightly better since this time around the joints aren't soft, rubbery plastic. I don't exactly see Chris Pratt here, but he's got a Harrison Ford type face that will always be hard to nail down, especially on a small scale like this 1/12 figure.I'm a big fan of the comic series and film, I can't wait for the sequel, this figure is a solid release and I'm even more excited for May to get here. The box has a nice deep purple color to it so this figure kinda pops inside the packaging, and I guess this is relatively collector friendly packaging if you're careful enough. Get this figure if you're a fan, but don't pay more than $20 for it. This was sold out for a little bit and was going for $30 and up on the secondary market but seems to be in stock again so get it while you can, this figure comes FULLY APPROVED.

After seeing the new Guardians movie, I just had to add a Star Lord figure to my ever growing Marvel universe collection. Does this figure live up to the awesomeness of this character? Let's get into it and find out.PROSSculpt/Paint:I usually stick to comic figures in this line, mainly because I've found that figures in this price range don't do the greatest job of replicating actor likenesses on such a small scale, but it seems that the folks over at Hasbro are upping their game by implementing some new face printing technology in a few of these newer figures. The result, though not 100% Pratt, does result in an extremely close resemblance to the legendary outlaw. I've also really dug the MCU's take on Star Lord by giving us a design that reminds me of a rock and roll Rocketeer, and that really shines through with the actual Star Lord helmet. The fine sculpting of the grooves and indentions in the faceplate combined with the metallic gold and silver paint make this figure truly stand out as one of the best looking figures in my collection. That metallic paint detail is also present when looking at Star Lord's elemental guns; they are the exact same guns from the Vol 1 Star Lord, but the added gold and silver paint make these versions​ vastly superior. Finally, the short jacket that came with the figure, as well as the sleeves, are well sculpted to show every wrinkle in Star Lord's wardrobe and the alien shirt he sports is painted very cleanly as well.Articulation:While this figure has import-quality sculpting the articulation is pretty standard, which isn't a bad thing at all. Star Lord isn't a character known for his acrobatic abilities, like a Spider-Man, so getting him into a basic flight pose is pretty simple and extremely satisfying because he looks so good in whatever cool pose you place him in. It is worth mentioning though that the jacket does hinder some of the movement around the shoulders, but this isn't a huge issue.CONSAccessories:Even though I was just singing the praises of the unmasked head sculpt, the elemental guns, and the jacket, these accessories don't hide the fact that this figure is sorely lacking in the accessories dept, especially when comparing it to its Vol 1 counterpart. A tiny Walkman and headphones, a jet pack, or some blast effects would've made this figure a 5/5 no problem. An interchangable jacket would've also been cool to have, but that's just me being partial to the trenchcoated Star Lord look. The jacket shown in my picture is from the Vol 1 Star Lord.Closing Thoughts:This figure is great but it could've been better with a couple more accessories. But in the end, I'm extremely pleased to have such a good looking figure for half the cost of a typical premium figure in my collection and I highly recommend this to all fans of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

I have the Starlord figure from the first movie and this one is far superior. This figure lacks in accesories but makes up for in looks. The likness to Criss Pratt is dead on and i love how the blasters actually attach to his hips. Must have for fans of the Marvel Legends figure line as well as the GOTG movie

With the new movie coming out this summer, this will be one of the MCU figures to have in your Marvel legends collect. Thanks Hasbro for keeping the double jointed elbows this series & the actor's likeness is spot on, get these while the retail prices are descent here on Amazon. Happy collecting True believers!!!

Love this figure! Though took the short jacket off and carefully put on the vol 1 figure's long duster since I like it better than the vol. 2 duster.One of the best Marvel legend figures in my opinion!
