Yep, I'm annoyed. When they offered the regular one, I was hoping for the Special Forces option like they had with the OT helmet.Hmm. Part of me prefers this look over the plain one, and another part of me thinks the one I have pairs better with the standard OT TIE lid I also have.
I'd be willing to bet that a lot of others who picked up the first FO helmet will be a little annoyed, though. Wouldn't blame them, but variants are probably to be expected from here on out...
Beautiful helmet .. I already have the Animefan kit sitting here, half prepped that I'm gonna turn exactly into this. That AND 670$ USD is over 900$ CAD!!! Wow, that's a lot of money for a helmet!!!
We're so far from the time when we would get the MR fiberglass helmet for 300-350$. I still have a few here, along with a SW Fett helmet that is now worth gold. I just don't get that! Mr props went through the roof .. it's like I'm millionnaire and I don't want to since I'm probably never gonna sell them! lol
TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ANOVOS HAN SOLO HOLSTER RIG:
1) I received my medium Han Solo Holster rig last week and at once noticed a 3 inch scratch on the top/front of the belt of the holster part of the rig. I contacted Anovos and they told me that it was supposed to be there. I just wanted to confirm that everyone else has this long scratch too. It surprised me that a scratch would be accurate on all 3 versions (ANH, ESB and ROTJ). I'm posting a pic of the scratch.
UPDATE: I just looked at a bunch of pics and I do see a scratch in the screen used one. So I guess it's supposed to be there although I kind of wish it wasn't.
2) I ordered the medium belt. I'm 6'2" and currently wear a 36" pants. My waist measured is 37" and the medium is too big for me. I was wondering if anyone had bought the small and was close to my size and if the small fit them better. And if by chance there is someone is Southern California who bought a Small but thinks a medium would be better for them maybe we could get together and see if we might want to swap if they belts fit better on each other.

Got an email today saying an item on order had a delivery date change and 'click here' for the listing to see what it was. I figured it was the TIE Pilot wingman helmet since they've got about 2 weeks left on the spring 2017 time table. Apparently, no. Seems as if it's the FO standard line trooper armor moved from Fall 2017 to Summer 2017. Is that right? It's coming early?
I also got the scratch. View attachment 735199
\Same boat! I am a 30 inch waist and find the medium too big, but ok on its tightest adjustment. Have you adjusted it properly? Pull the snaps all the way to the one on one snap at the ends and not the three on three snaps. See if that helps. I am almost sure the medium should fit you. Also, the holster part appears to hang too far down the leg, but I have adjusted it somewhat and may have to have a leather guy take it in some more so I can use the original snaps. Otherwise it is a beautiful piece and I have the scratch as well.

I too need a swap for a small Han Solo holster rig. I have a medium and am outside the exchange window!
