Merkava74, who did that IG-88 bust?
@merkava74
Ho-Lee **** that is an impressive collection and your display setting is perfect.
Merkava74, who did that IG-88 bust?
That's a beautiful collection merkava74!
Thanks guys. Just bringing the conversation back to the topic, I'm glad Anovos is providing another alternative for us. I wish I had the dough to buy up all of their offerings, because fundamentally, it is my love for Star Wars, not my love for being a collector.
My helmets range from not-so-accurate garage kits to makers like Bookface to sculptors like Evo3, to businesses like Efx and Anovos, to those that I build and paint myself (see my signature). @russellsch the IG-88 is from Korbanth.
There is no need for price or quality bashing. If it is beyond your reach or below your quality standards, give it a miss. I for one would never buy a Rubies, but there are Rubies who are the pride and joy of someone else's collection.
Bottom line, have fun doing this, or it's not worth it.

I feel that the focus should be on the helmets and not the stand or plaques. Which is why my helmets are all on a $6 IKEA Hemma table lamp stand with the wire removed.

just realized that was a post from page 73. stupid forum code. i visited this page long after that!
SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay only NeilT is gonna get this joke since his post was just changed but trust me it was funny.
things where going so nicely, but ithought that was part of a recent argument, so i edited it ;o).
Got a question for you about this. It puzzled me on the Propshop replicas as well, and I'm not sure if you guys are at liberty to say. With the advent of armor being CAD rather than sculpted in clay, with, I'm willing to guess, masters being produced on 3D printers, why is the common procedure still to create scan data from finished pieces, then have to spend time cleaning up that data into something useable? Wouldn't it be faster, easier, and more satisfying to the real hardcore rivet counters if LFL/Disney just emailed you guys the files to begin with? Just curious.
@Got Maul, any chance the ESB Han standard line will end up available on the payment plan? The Luke is and its only $30 cheaper :lol
Um....I know I was asleep a while, but, when did Anovos announce the Deathtrooper helmet? Fantastic! I think I will order.....oh. Sold Out.

So there is a chance I will be wearing my Kylo helmet for all of the awkward family dinners this year?
@Got Maul
Let me have a guess.... coming with a stand would make it a prop replica and Anovos only have a licence for costumes?
Still love these rapid-fire responses when they happen. :thumbsup
And Got Maul, since my support email hasn't been answered yet and I don't think I'll have time this week to do a live chat, I'll try asking you: I have a Kylo helmet on a payment plan. Is it unusual to have had two payments charged on back-to-back days for that? (Wasn't the final payment, it was two consecutive days in October. Placed the order back in August I believe.) Would Anovos live chat even be the place to ask about that, or is that Partial.ly's issue to handle? thanks!
edit: if I recall correctly Anovos isn't able to sell stands with the helmets because they're licensed as a "costume" maker and not a "prop replica" maker like EFX. Don't remember if that was just speculation or came from the company though.
oh no, I hope that's not the Anovos...... looks like carp in those photos! In fact it's probably the worst Kylo paint job I've seen!@Got Maul: so these pictures have surfaced

are you able to confirm that this is a production Anovos Kylo? the shape looks good but the paintwork leaves a bit to be desired, specifically the black 'weathering' on the silver looks like it was squiggled on with a sharpie...
also, if it is the anovos, why has the eye mesh been brought forward compared to the prototype/screen used? (it now sits flush with the eye hole when it should be a ways back)
oh no, I hope that's not the Anovos...... looks like carp in those photos! In fact it's probably the worst Kylo paint job I've seen!
I hope this isn't true... I'm actually feeling quite sick with worry.i've showed them to anovos support and they're really skeptical about them, said a lot of details were off. They've opened a ticket to investigate them.
Paint jobs or returns? I'm not keeping a 600$ helmet that looks like that.Wow...I see a lot of Kylo repaints in my future!!
too late! I cancelled mine. well, I put in for a cancellation.... those photos spooked me.okay, I got another reply.
I asked if the paint job was indicative of the final production paint job.
Their definitive answer? "No, it is not."
and everyone breathe...
Hi ! Please email me joe@anovos.com and I can have the fulfillment team take a look asap.@Got Maul: Hey, am I able to email you about an order I placed on an in-stock item? Support haven't replied. I wasn't thinking and put a shipping address outside of the countries you ship to - it accepted the order and took the payment but the in stock item has had no update in a week. I'm thinking it might be in some kind of "order taken but item not picked" limbo (had to sort this stuff out when I worked at a big online store before) due to the shipping address (billing address was within the serviced regions).
Unless in-stock items have this kind of lag?
Cheers.
