ANOVOS issues (ANOVOS ONLY discussion)

Armor too big to carry around. But if it’s actually in stock and shipping, then that’s more then what ANOVOS offers to us.
 
I think someone in one of the GE threads said its just the standard Anovos helmets that they're selling. The armor is from another source. And the Disney parks have been selling those helmets since before GE opened and Anovos' troubles were as bad as they are now.
 
Sure looks like the regular tag you see inside all of the Anovos helmets to me, but maybe what was posted in the other thread was wrong. I'm sure not going to get into a debate about it.

its cool i thought it was the back of the armour price plaque thingy but the numbers don't match anyway :oops:
 
I have both the standard and celebration issued fiberglass version with upgraded interior....it’s definitely the latter.

They're a mash-up of sorts: standard helmets with the premium cloth liners (instead of the hard hat rig).
 
I asked the cast member if the FO Stormtrooper armor was a finished set or a kit and they weren't too clear on the difference. They do measure you on the spot for the armor and say it ships within ten days. It looks like the one on display is lined like the OT Stormtrooper ensemble. (which to this day is the only completed order I've ever had from Anovos)
 
Lined like the OT armor? I was on the initial release of that kit, and nothing was lined - helmet has a (really bad) hardhat rig, armor isn't lined. Wuh?
 
The Armor is the Anovos Premier line so.... just like their website for Premier FOTK and thus the $6,000 price tag.
This ensemble includes details duplicated from STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS screen-used production assets.
  • Costume is designed to fit a person that is between 5 ft. 8 in to 6 ft. (1.7 to 1.8 meters) in height, with a mesomorphic body-type (see chart below).
  • Body armor pieces are made of white ABS plastic.
  • Undersuit is two-piece with mock turtleneck collar and stirrups.
  • The neck seal is made of neoprene and features adjustable hook and loop closure.
  • Gloves are made of leather and fabric with hook and loop wrist closure, and supplied by the same manufacturer who produced the gloves used in the film.
  • Joint gaskets are made of flexible latex.
  • Belt has functional storage pouches.
  • The boots are made of genuine leather and supplied by the same manufacturer who produced the boots used in the film.
The included Premier Line helmet accessory includes details duplicated from STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS screen-used production assets.
  • This helmet is assembled, finished, and ready to wear.
  • The outer shell is made of fiberglass and painted to duplicate the look of the original asset.
  • The filtration fitting on the chin is made of aluminum.
  • The grille mesh is made of black painted metal.
  • Helmet interior is lined for a finished appearance.
  • Visor lens is made of gray tinted plastic.
  • Helmet size adjustment system ensures a comfortable and secure fit.
Completed Ensemble Details
  • Improved detailing over 2015 prototype kits.
  • Comes with the completed, ready to wear Premier Line helmet and boots.
  • Armor components and belt are finished and ready to wear.

The Helmets are a hybrid of the Standard line Injection molded plastic but with the Premier fabric lining.

So its not the standard line armor or helmets we are all waiting for.
But......... it might be our armor kits they are using to build these "Premier" kits.
 
So does anyone else find it funny that the all time most favorite item of the Anovos guys, which they are personally most excited about, is the Royal guard helmet...which is the only thing moved up by 2 quarters on their release schedule?
I don’t know these guys or their history here, but I get the feeling their whole “business model” is to just self servingly get access to the prop archive and have others finance their hobby to get what they want.

They lied and obfuscated for years, and now when they are under threat of litigation and had customers contact the owner of the licence about them, they suddenly start being open and honest.... Yeah i'm not going to suddenly forgive them for lying to me for years.

When someone is forced to be truthful after so long, then their trustworthiness isn't worth the pixels this update is typed on.

Indeed, expecting them to change seems about as likely as "fixing" a manipulative partner in an abusive relationship.
