Well I gotta say I was very nervous about adding a second Loki to my collection considering I have the avengers version and that one is perfect in my opinion but now I can't imagine NOT having this guy on my shelf. He compliments Thor so nicely and just really makes the shelf pop! I was concerned that having Loki posed with the avengers on the shelf above where this one is would make them look too similar and kill the figure for me but I'm happy to say that the differences are prevalent enough to put that concern to rest as well.
I very much prefer the costume on this version. Still has the cool bead work on the sleeves and instead of using plastic beads on the trim it seems they wing with printing or something which is good because I've always been concerned the beads will detach one my Avengers version. Another thing is that the bottom part of his coat where it is separated actually lays flat. On the avengers version the stuck out and looked unnatural and odd but they fixed that on this one.
As far as the HS goes I wouldn't say it is better but I wouldn't say its worse. The Avengers one does a much better job at capturing the sinister look Loki often wears where as this one absolutely fails to look imposing by any stretch of the imagination. The hair looks good on this and doesn't stab you every time you try and adjust the head. Forehead isn't an issue in my opinion either
All in all this figure is gorgeous and I am happy to have it but I still believe the avengers one is better due to the accessories. Take away the cape and the helmet though and I would choose this one every day of the week.
