Anovos Stormtrooper.... thoughts?

I just received a status email from being a 350$ kit purchaser..and posted the following to their Facebook page...."regarding the Episode4 stormtrooper kit. Those of us experienced troopers purchased this kit to assemble to a higher standard and accepted the prebuilt helmet because we had to...you (anovos) now offer that same helmet in kit form. Could the kit purchasers forgo the assembled helmet and get a helmet kit instead? That is the purpose of the kit vs. Assembled option." GOTMAUL....could you chime in as Im sure others feel the same way? Thank you

Let me speak to the team about creating an option for it. So you're saying, you want a complete kit, nothing pre-built ?
 
Yes, please...complete kit. Firstly.. AWESOME progress report. Thank you Anovos for the updates, and the swift response, GOTMAUL.. This offering is shaping up to be a banging kit! Not to take away from the value of the original offer...just allowing customers to build a helmet to match the trooper of their choosing..... since Anovos now offers a stand alone DIY
helmet kit..... For those of us who've already built FX. GF. Cfo. RS. Etc...........
 
So silly question - Anybody know what the story is on the spoon shaped indent is on the inside of the left bicep????

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on the originals, it was a thumb indentation that was on the original molds, or so I read somewhere.
 
Thumbprint. Only on one bicep for ANH Like the fingernail/coin indentations on vaders cheeks and the fingerprint on the tie pilot helmet.......personal touches on a ..remember.....LOW budget movie

You can see the spoon indent on that disco promotional photo from post-ANH/pre-ESB

I for one don't mind if the helmet is assembled. I know anovos has high standards. I paid for a kit with assembled helmet and that's what I expect.
 
Company just put out an update email in time for SDCC and showed pics of first test pulls of the OT Stormtrooper.
Also news of a Shadow Stormtrooper option. Both look really nice. Just wished those of us who ordered just the helmet, could switch to the Shadow Trooper black option.
Let us know Anovos if we can switch.
 
Wasn't it intended to be sort of a hook for the shoulder armor strap that goes around the upper arm?
 
You Sir had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

I don't want to sidetrack this thread. Let's just say Harrison Ford is a man who has won the lottery twice in his career and has shown a tremendous lack of graciousness in the process.

It's weird being as big of fan as one can be of Indy and Star Wars yet truly disliking Harrison Ford.
 
And that baseball player you loved growing up? He didn't care about winning or his team or the teams hometown- just played for the money. That's why you don't idolize someone for doing a job.

And I don't read anything into the picture anyway. Maybe he was just playing games with the photographer.
