Denuo Novo (only) New and existing products

Further clarification on the FOTK. The kit will include the joint gaskets, but I don't think the neckseal. They're going with the production-style solid rubber gaskets that restricted all the extras' movement, since that's what Anovos had and are the moulding assets provided. I told them about the "hollowcast" rubber gaskets some fan makers have done, without naming names here, and they said they'd pass that suggestion along to the brand manager. They want to have a range of items and options out over the next several years, and want the stuff they make to be both accurate and comfortably wearable.
 
Just for my tastes. I want more info. as to what is up.

Darth Vader helmets and costumes
Kylo Costumes
OT trooper suits/ parts
and more...

All of these are pricey items with folk sitting and waiting - with not a peep on outlook or progress. I am told that they do not have an "official timeline" yet for these but that is not enough.
 
The explanation of this seems like overkill. Garage makers have been cranking the same helmet out without the fancy paint process for over two years now. Nevermind the studio did the same thing. Personally I would rather have seen a timeline and details on how they created their helmet.
And for them to quit charging $100 for shipping.
Yeah - the Alumaluster paint is not cheap to be certain. That said, I went with a close enough option called Duralumen for my "garage built" resin helmet. Turned out pretty good for my first try...
Funny enough Adam Savage mistook it for an Anovos helmet when he first saw it and was floored to find out it was not.

Cheers!

Does anyone know if the products made by Anovos and Denuo Novo are different in materials or construction? Has anyone gotten a Mando helmet from both? The Denuo Novo one looks like its weathered differently... just curious if the materials or construction are different too?
 
Curios to see the Rey scavenger helmet. Thinking about pulling the trigger on it but want to see it first.
Anyone see it ?
Thanks in advance!

I bought the Anovos version on Ebay as can be had for cheaper than the Denuo Novo version.
I was very happy with the quality of the Anovos version.
 
Looks great just going to
Wait to see if the new version has the OT shape or just the same.
Thanks again for the help !

Denuo Novo said all of the x-wing pilot helmets will use the Rogue One mold. According to the Denuo Novo Facebook page the Red 5 and Blue Leader helmets are shipping now so we should start seeing photos soon.
 
Soooo, got my Luke X-Wing helmet in the mail tonight. I'm hoping I'm not the only one here that's feeling a little underwhelmed. The Black series helmet is slightly bigger and has more heft to it. In fact the only upgrade I'm finding to the Den Novo helmet is the paint job and the soft interior. Even the mic seems sturdier on the black series. Anybody want to back me up?

The screen used helmets were made of vacuformed abs plastic. This is lighter weight and more flexible than injection molded plastic. The same is true for stormtrooper helmets.

The mic is very flexible as well on all of the higher end helmets I have.

Black Series helmets are not made in the same way as the screen used helmets.

I have the Anovos Rey x-wing helmet and several RS Propmasters x-wing helmets. They are all like what you are describing for the Denuo Novo helmet.

I should get my Denuo Novo helmet soon. I will post comparison photos with the Anovos and RS helmets.
