So here is my point of view on the Anovos with my years and experience with Vader.
Starting with the price. It is very over priced because the Fan made suit exist. What they are charging from a company with a license stand point is fair but you can get a nicer more screen accurate suit with a cheaper price tag.
The suit itself is not all that fantastic but that might be because I have exposed myself to the really high end stuff for too long. It is mostly Empire but the ROTJ influence comes in with the dome. The thumb print is absent and the Mohawk is soft for ROTJ. The rest of it is really close to ESB like the belt and chest box.
The helmet is nice for a license piece but compared to others it is garbage. The dome flair on the sides is actually swapped. The left hand side should flair out more then the right hand side. Anovos has it the other way around. There are also some sculptural issues around the mouth vent and the top of the eye lids as well. The mesh in the vents and the tusks are
garbage as well, even for what Anovos is offering. For the same price better fan made helmets are out there.
The gloves look like total junk, They look like Rubies made them. And the armor takes after the old classic GT armor as the ends of the breast plate flair outwards. The cape is only offered in one length of 60" and the material is not even close to what it should be. It looks very cheap. The material is actually a very thick heavy Gabardine wool. The suit, cod and shins look ok.
Over all it is nicer then Rubies but at the same time a poor attempt at a high end Vader costume.
