OOOOO Anovos announces another Pre-Order ---- The First Order Stormtrooper He...

I gotta wait. There are some edges that seem too soft, and the thickness of those cheek tabs next to the eyes somehow makes it look dopier than the streamlined film helmets. I know Anovos has said that this is modeled after a production helmet and that there must be subtle variations, but in all of the trailers, BTS, articles, promotional photography and event displays I've only yet seen the sharper, leaner, meaner helmet.

Does anyone know if this will be the only First Order Stormtrooper helmet they will be offering. Or will there be a more premier one?
 
Re: OOOOO Anovos announces another Pre-Order ---- The First Order Stormtrooper Helmet

Hopefully the full armour set won't be too far behind...
 
Re: OOOOO Anovos announces another Pre-Order ---- The First Order Stormtrooper Helmet

i remember seeing a youtube video where they speak of having a regular version for $200 and then a more high accurate one later on this year for something like $600-$800 so best to hold off
 
Re: OOOOO Anovos announces another Pre-Order ---- The First Order Stormtrooper Helmet

ok so word in from the anovos Facebook and i quote

" this standard version has a simplified interior with an adjustable hardhat-type suspension system. A Premier line version of this helmet is in the works which will feature an upgraded interior as well as other features. More detailed to come"

and then when asked about the price for the premier version they said,

"pricing is still being finalized however we're looking at around $700-$800"

dam that is more then the vader it better come super screen accurate with built in fans lol.

So i guess we can just used this $200 for display, kids, and occasional cost-play and then wait for the premier line for display purposes. well at least that is probably how I will be using mines for :D

I hope it will be more screen accurate than the ones they had on display at Celebration, and which the 501st got access to. They are nice, but there are quite a few inaccuracies there.
Now I'm sure those are very early versions and they have spent a lot more time on the ones that they will actually sell later on. But the ones we have seen so far are definitely not worth $700-800.
Especially the brow line not sticking out irritates me to no end! :p

These are not my photo's btw. The right one is one of the costumes that was on display at Celebration. The left one is an Anovos one.

The design we've seen so far matches what you can buy now for $200 (or later for $250). Hopefully the $700-800 fiberglass one that comes down the road will have the brow, white cheek tab thickness, and other details corrected. To be completely fair, the different focal lengths of those images raise issues that aren't there with broad geometry and the lighting on the film helmet better shows scribed details and the form overall.

That is a good point. But the smooth edges that should be quite sharp, the missing brow and the cheek tabs are definitely there and I would love to see those corrected :)
 
Re: OOOOO Anovos announces another Pre-Order ---- The First Order Stormtrooper Helmet

Also I think the helmet in the right of that image is one of the screen helmets.
 
Re: OOOOO Anovos announces another Pre-Order ---- The First Order Stormtrooper Helmet

Ah I just read Celebration display and thought it was being suggested that the other was also an Anovos, I know one Anovos suit was displayed and then there was the separate screen used displays, carry on. :)

Hey all, the pics that were shown were taken way too hot for our liking so we are reshooting them. On top of that, the helmet pictured was an early prototype. We are loading up the actual injection in just a week. Sharp is an understatement with this injected helmet and can't wait to 1. Getting our lighting right, 2. Show off the production sample.

I can't wait either as you got me, my order is in!

That sounds good. I can't wait to see the actual product :)
 
Re: OOOOO Anovos announces another Pre-Order ---- The First Order Stormtrooper Helmet

Looks like possibly thinner white cheek tabs on the helmet in that unboxing video! Was that a last minute revision?
 
Re: OOOOO Anovos announces another Pre-Order ---- The First Order Stormtrooper Helmet

Hey Got Maul,

if customers buy this bucket will they have the opportunity to purchase just the ABS armour on its own when it's available to the public? , i would hold out if I cant get the suit without the helmet in the future as I don't need two buckets.would be greatful if you could clear this up.
 
Re: OOOOO Anovos announces another Pre-Order ---- The First Order Stormtrooper Helmet

Is that a prototype? Or they already in production for the VII helmets?
