I think if you get really creative, you could use a puppet. It'd be pretty awesome, and something different too.

Re: Star Lord (Need some Suggestions)
Excited to see your progress and how you're gonna go about with this! Aggregating all these posts and builds in my headspace to jump start and go in the right direction with my own Star-Lord build!
Good luck!
Re: GOTG: My own Star-Lord Build
IronManiac, what's the height of the wooden piece you've got there?
Great work... Starting my Star-Lord today... Gotta run to Office Depot and pick up the pep!
Awesome! I love the helmet/mask great job on that. Wish I was nearly as talented as that... We'll have to see how well my version comes out when I get around to it..
