Anovos Stormtrooper.... thoughts?

So just got back from my Disneyland trip and came across the Anovos helmet from the launch bay, in my personal opining the one there is way better with the bubble lens that was supposed to be released per one of Anovos comments on Facebook.

Yeah, I agree. That's way closer to a hero helmet. Where can I get one of those?

That one IS a hero helmet, isn't it? With 7 teeth and bubble lenses instead of 9 teeth and flat for the stunt version. Wasn't there something about safety testing requiring them to use flat lenses for better visibility? (which meant going to the stunt's 9 teeth for consistency)

Unless they've moved them around, that's not the one they had for sale though. Is this the 4 helmet display in front of the Vader meet and greet? The ones that were for sale and advertised as Anovos were in the retail section and then were up high on a shelf.
 
you are correct that is the hero helmet based on teeth and lens, unfortunately its a anovos prototype and asked almost every member there if there is any chance they would sell it to me lol but unfortunately they all said no.
 
correct,so 1st and 3rd photo were in front of the kylo meet and great, the rest were from the launch bay that was for sale for $280
 
good question because the fine print on the side plaque said anovos and then mentioned efx because it was in the same display case as the EFX rebel fighter helmet but I am pretty sure that it is anovos as the price was $280 which is too low for EFX lol

And way before anovos came out with it I remember seeing that they did mention in a facebook post that the OT trooper helmet was going to have bubble lens but i guess they changed it.
 
Off topic, but how was the Kylo meet and greet? The Vader one was kind of awkward, haha.


I wanted to see vader but when asking a member where can we meet him he said that he was on "imperial vacation" thus was not there, hmm the kylo was alright I guess the way he takes pictures is he walks around you talking "evil" trying to intimidate you while the cast takes pictures and at the end you get about 1 photo with him actually next to you but still off to the side so yea kinda awkward as well lol. I think I been spending way too much time on the RPF as the entire time we were with him I kept thinking "his outfit isn't accurate at all, the helmet looks too big, it isn't weathered, and so on" hahaha

Haha, yeah, Vader was basically the same way. Chewie was cool though.
 
I've got both the MR limited (bubble lenses) & the eFX PCR (flat lenses). & I don't know if I would troop in the MR. You can definitely see way better through the flat lenses of the eFX PCR. I'm very tempted to add the ANOVOS TK bucket to the collection. However, I'm holding out for a Sandtrooper. Although I might try for an RS for that, once their Scout helmet arrives that is.
 
I'm talking about the EFX hero prototype, not the symmetrical one, just to clarify.

yeah I know.

Heres the EFX

and and here's the one you were talking about. They're Different and I'm sure it's one of the ones Anovos used to promote. Before they did the alterations.

I must admit for the price the Anovos is a sweet deal. I don't want one but it is cool for the price. :)

hi all,

just wanted to ask if i am the only one having trouble with the right lower arm piece. it seems to be too wide and very different from the left one, which fits quite well. i don't know how to trim it to make it a better fit.

thanks=)

The arm pieces are different because that's how the screen-used originals were, which these were sourced from. It's "normal".

I know they are not symetrical, but the difference was just to big for my taste. The left one is a perfect fit and with the right forearm i could easily fit a worrmp in there...which I have no intention of doing.=)

Have you seen this thread?

http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/35086-ukswrath's-ANOVOS-TK-build
Search for the part where lower arms are trimmed.
I guess it'll answer your question.

that's the thread i was looking for=) thank you=))
