Yesterday I found both of these sets at Target for clearance, so I picked them up. They're both decent sets with a good amount of accessories.
The Hela and Skurge set comes with 3 separate heads for Hela (wearing her battle horns, hair back and hair over her face), an extra hand holding Thor's hammer, effect swirl that fits over her hand, 2 machine guns, 2 extra hands for Skurge, a small gun and a battle axe.
The Hawkeye and Black Widow set comes with Hawkeye's bow, 2 batons for Black Widow, and 3 extra heads (Nebula, Iron Man & Ant-Man). The heads are all swappable with the bodies.
As for the head sculpts, all of them look pretty good, except for Black Widow. While it does resemble Scarlett Johansson, the expression makes it look like she's doing duck lips. Compared to the superior Figuarts face sculpt, its off look stands out even more. While Hawkeye's face isn't entirely accurate either, it looks good enough, lacking the jarring quality of the Black Widow. Skurge and Hela's face sculpts are all very good.
As far as sculpt and paint go, the Hela & Skurge set is much more detailed. The other two are just in their Quantum Realm suits, which don't have a lot of detail. The Ragnorak set accurately captures both characters' looks, from Hela's black & green suit, to the armor worn by Skurge.
There is some paint bleed on Hela's shoulders, most likey from her overlapping cape. The cape can be removed, as it simply attaches to a peg in her back.
The articulation points are the standard joints on Marvel Legends, including head and neck, shoulders, double jointed elbows and knees, thighs, ankle rockers that have good pivot, and upper torso. Hela can have some issues standing on her own, but the cape helps to balance her.
The Hawkeye and Widow sets are about the same height as Figuarts, while Hela and Skurge are taller, more in scale with standard Marvel Legends figures.
All the figures in both sets are nice, though I prefer the Quantum Realm female body with Nebula's head. The Nebula face sculpt is really detailed and painted quite well. I really like it. I've preordered the Figuarts Nebula, which should be arriving soon, but it's also nice to have one with the Quantum Realm suit.
Both of these sets are worthy purchases, and getting them on a clearance sale was even better. Target also had the Luis & Ghost set, which I already own. I had gone in search of the new Vision and/or Valkyrie, but finding these was a nice surprise.
