Denuo Novo (only) New and existing products

I am really surprised they aren’t working on new things from The Mandalorian. I know that Anovos scanned the Armorer and Paz helmets. I would quite like to see this new company do those, as the replicas out there are not quite right shape wise. I would also very much like to see Bo-Katan.
I agree on all of those. The x-wing helmets from the series should sell well and be easy to produce.

I'm surprised that Denuo Novo has in the last few months announced several new products, none of which are from the most popular of the current Star Wars properties. If nothing else I would have thought Disney would push them to release more Mandalorian related products.
 
I am hopeful they are waiting for Celebration to announce some things. I am not sure how many of the things they've announced were things Anovos was already working on, but as breakdowns in communication piled up and public appearances dropped off, we never found out. There are also murky business workings that I know we have almost zero insight into. How many Chinese factories are holding onto assets -- saleable merchandise or molds/dies/templates or both -- and Denuo Novo is either negotiating their release or planning on paying for them after they are in a more secure financial position or something. I do know they're trying to bring as much of the manufacturing back to the US as possible, for a variety of reasons. That was a move I and many disagreed with Anovos over -- outsourcing to China in the first place. I haven't wanted to ask Denuo Novo about any of this directly simply because I know they won't be able to divulge much, if anything.

So I don't take their silence on one or another item as an indication they're not working on it. I have a feeling they're waiting until a given item is much closer to ready before announcing anything.

Agree with that - I would be in for anything from Mando, especially the Armourer, Bo Katan & Cobb Vanth
 
I feel much more comfortable digging into the HBS helmets to do my upgrading and modding and customizing and such. Very little escapes my shop without some alteration. I may or may not have a framed screenshot of Vader pointing his finger at Lando captioned, "I have altered the helmet. Pray I do not alter it any further." I like the HBS Rebel pilot helmets, so their repaints will all make me happy if they get the details right. Which would also hold for DN. And if the paint apps are off, I feel a lot more sanguine about stripping them and doing it myself on something I paid a hundred bucks for rather than three or four. I also like the interiors they give a lot of their helmets. Good raw materials to work with. I definitely approach it on a case-by-case basis, but for those I'd go HBS unless the DN ones absolutely blow me away.
 
That Jango helmet was on the Xcoser site about 4 months ago. Lends yet more credibility that they were the suppliers during the Anovos days.

The Jango Fett helmet is still listed as in stock on the xcoser website. I ordered one but never received it even though the site said "In stock". I eventually got my money back through a Paypal case. I was not impressed by the customer service from xcoser. I have found no evidence of them ever shipping these helmets. They appear to ship other cheaper items, but I am skeptical of them shipping the higher end Anovos/Denuo Novo type helmets.
 
Here are photos of the Denuo Novo Kylo Ren (left) and Anovos Kylo Ren (right). The Anovos is from pretty early. The Denuo Novo is made in USA. It has more of a matte finish than the Anovos. The red lines on the Denuo Novo are painted on, so they do not light up. The Anovos has rubber pieces on the lower sides. Those parts are rigid on the Denuo Novo. Both have a mesh visor.

Denuo Novo has a 10% off sale with free US shipping or discounted international shipping for May the 4th.
Yep. Just ordered the Kylo for myself. I already have the Mando helmet or else I would have been on that. Semi tempted to pre order the Stormtrooper armor

Going to order Kylo but will wait for the weekend. Half tempted to PO Jango but on balance best to wait. Whilst I've been happy with the 4 helmets I've purchased from them, on balance I would rather wait to see the final product and still not 100% confident on paying up front with them
