One of the most quintessential components to a Star-Lord cosplay is his helmet, and today I'm gonna show you how I took the Xcoser Star-Lord helmet and made it screen accurate! Now there are really two options for pre-built helmets on the market; the "Marvel Legends Series Star-Lord Electronic Helmet" from Hasbro, and the Xcoser Star-Lord Helmet. I chose the latter of the two because the Hasbro Helmet is a little more expensive and a bit too bulky looking. Although, if you don't want to mod or paint anything, go with the Hasbro because it has a much better paint job than the stock Xcoser.But we're here to paint, so let's get started!
