This is an awesome write up.
Has anyone here received the Royal Guard helmet? Someone on Facebook who ordered through a third party retailer received it. There's one in hand on ebay as well.
The one I was looking at before had a picture of the box. It sold, but there's one now with a photo of the box from a legitimate retailer, Alter Ego Comics.The guy on ebay sold 9 of them...8 in june...and no pics or videos now on youtube or something?Very strange...and he wants 350$ for shipping to europe...not really serious.![]()
Here's the one I saw on Facebook. You can see the lining in one of the photos. I asked if he can take a picture of the inside to confirm that it's actually Anovos.

When there were a lot of people on ebay selling the Anovos STD Phaser, I think only 1 of them had pictures of the actual item they were selling even if they said they had it in hand. The rest of them just used stock Anovos pictures. I later found out that the later waves of the phaser had some finishing problems with parts fitting together and the paint so they didn't want to show the actual product you were buying.
I just stumbled across this picture I took in March of 2016 at the Idiovos display. The day I went, "oh cool!" And I talked with them for a couple hours on and off and they said I might miss the upcoming Halloween...
In the time they‘ve been “working” on their Kylo costume, I purchased an entire costume (including boots), custom-fitted to my measurements.
I have since upgraded the robe, caplet, and belt with more accurate pieces. Both sets of robes were done with the movie-accurate coating that seems to be plaguing them...
So call it 1.5 costumes in less time and for less money than this whole ordeal..
I had such hopes for them...

Funny how that feels like it was 10 years ago.I guess we recently passed another anniversary milestone as Aug 1, 2016 was when the "Adam Savage as Kylo Ren Incognito at Comic-Con 2016!" video was uploaded.
Has ANYONE - personally - received (or seen with their own eyes) the ANOVOS Royal Guard helmet?
Their most recent email says they've restocked, & are down to their last 25. I'm not buying from them!!! I just want to know if anyone has seen one of these.
I'm trying to be strong!
I might pre-order from someone else who won't charge me unless & until it ships though.
