Prop ANOVOS goes into Star Wars Costuming

[Fastball Special]

Got the Bespin Luke costume! It's awesome! However the medium pants are a bit too small. I emailed them requesting an exchange. I hope they come through because I definitely want to give them more of my business in the future.

Oh hell! I knew I moved into the wrong neighborhood!

Now I just gotta figure out how to attach the hoses to the chest box. Can't do the crimp technique because hoses have to sit flush against box.

Without actually having to insert it into the box, that will be challenging.

I ordered some rubber adapters. See how it goes.

Does anyone know if the death trooper helmets light up?

I ordered one a few days ago, it comes Friday, I see the Shoretrooper Helmet goes on sale this Friday.

 

[Darth Lam]

And back with the early adopter price again. Nice!

I want that Scarif Trooper lid, but... how can Anovos deliver that and the Deathtrooper even before TFA TIE fighter helmet which they announced almost a year ago?

I saw the movie, & I did not see any lights on this helmet.

 

[Darth Lam]

Thanks guys. I just saw it and didn't notice that it lit up either. So great! Also, Anovos now charges CA sales tax? I just ordered a Shoretrooper helmet, and was charged tax for the first time.

 

[Darth Lam]

As for the size of the death trooper helmet, they were originally conceived as being cyborgs like lobot, therefore parts of their heads had been replaced with small cybernetics. So the helmets were originally designed small to apparently give the illusion that a regular sized human head would not be under the lid.

Yeah I was taxed on the TIE helmet too.
Can I ask, what was the total with shipping and tax?
You can PM me.

 

[Darth Lam]

$570.46 total.
Shipping was only $14.54.
They also charged me $12.00 for "handling," which I think is a crock.
The rest was lovely CA tax.

 

[Centurion]

Yeah I was charged for handling also.
I will call them about that because my helmet was scratched up pretty good.
So what good did the handling fee do?

 

[Darth Lam]

maybe the handling fee is for them to add authentic battle damage scratches?

They sure are fricking slow at shipping these out. I ordered the Tie helmet when it was announced and while some have gotten it I have yet to hear squat about the one I ordered.

Very good comparison pics.
Looks like Anovos has the edge.
