I suspect the prototype photos on the Denuo Novo site were photos of the Anovos prototype.Funny thing that detail was on their early image after the Anovos take over
So it does appear someone has dropped the ball, something we won't know until they start being shipped I guess
They changed the sale. Now it is 15% off costumes and 10% off everything else.The Denuo Novo site has sale prices again. 15% off helmets and 10% off other items with the normal shipping discounts. Sale ends December 20th.

A Denuo Novo ad on Facebook says "10% Off Sitewide + Special Daily Deals". Maybe the items with the extra discount changes throughout the sale period. The banner ad on the Denuo Novo site doesn't give you the same impression that the percent off will vary throughout the sale.They changed the sale.

I have an Anovos OT TIE Pilot helmet. I believe the Denuo Novo is pretty much the same thing. If you don't like those because of the flimsiness, you wouldn't like the ABS replicas of those, X-Wing helmets, or OT stormtrooper helmets made by most makers. The actual props were flimsy like that. There are some more sturdy versions which some people prefer. There are even some made out of fiberglass.Received the 501st Clone lid yesterday, to sit alongside the (clean) all-white version. I am very impressed with these buckets. That is a far different impression than what I had when I received DN’s Tie Pilot lid (probably just the heft/feel difference due to materials).
Anyways, these are my new favorite buckets in my collection - They make my Cybercraft versions look emaciated/awful by comparison.

For the most part Denuo Novo is making the helmets that were previously produced by Anovos in the same way. Anovos made the OT TIE Pilot and stormtrooper helmets/armor out of vacuformed ABS. Anovos did clean up the helmets and sharpen edges. Many people feel they went too far with sharpening the OT stormtrooper. I assume when Denuo Novo releases their OT Stormtrooper that it will be the same as the Anovos. Personally I would prefer if they made a Rogue One style since there are already lots of options for the OT style.I have the RS Propmasters Stormtrooper, Biker Scout and Snowtrooper lids.
I get what you are saying about the feel of all of the ABS/PVC lids (in fact, in fairness to DN, to me, their Tie Pilot feels a lot ‘sturdier’ than the RS Propmasters pieces).
I guess, my convoluted rationale is that I half expected the RS Propmaster pieces to feel that way in their effort to be true to the original props. The value of those lids to me was ‘this is just like you grabbed a prop off the set’.
With DN, I guess I thought all of their buckets would be ‘idealized’ versions (accurate, or close to…but constructed in a fashion that the originals were not.)
Now that I have the feel for the various materials and their ‘sturdiness’ (including a resin Mando bucket), I can throttle my expectations/purchases accordingly.

Looks good - might pick one up when they next have a saleDenuo Novo TLJ First Order Stormtrooper Premier Helmet
Oof… from what I’ve seen, these are a step (or maybe a few steps) up in complication from the OTTK kits. I found the OTTK fairly straightforward after some research, but I’ll be honest - this kit scares me…It's a heck of a ride. I'm waiting for the extra arms and legs I ordered to thicken things up. The instructions are unaltered from the Anovos draft. The templates for drilling the holes for the holster and kit-kats have the holes in the wrong places. There are no instructions for attaching the spats. The outer seam on the lower legs is backward...
I'm still working on cleanup and prep.
