[@noslack68671]

First off consider yourself lucky: most people wait 1,2,3 plus years for their orders to be sent from Anovos. I thought they were no longer capable of delivering in the time frame they did with your helmet. Which actually kind of ticks me off in that what other items have the delayed in order to rush this out?? 2) Yeah $650 is a lot for a helmet but to each his own: Consider that Hasbro has its Boba Fett helmet coming out before the end of the month and it looks Spectacular!! Plus it has a fully detailed interior and you can by 6 of them for you paid for your helmet. 3) Given the success of the Mandelorian, it wont be long for Hasbro to come out with their version I'm sure.

[@bobadom589]

I actually bought the prototype boba helmet and painted myself and gave it a metallic rusted look and I was very happy with it. This guy bought something 6x more expensive and honestly he would’ve been better off just buying the gas to one and taking the antenna off and painting himself would’ve been a whole lot cheaper but hey when you got money to spend and throw away I guess. But I do agree with your frustration on how many orders must’ve been delayed because of this one helmet.

Anovos... the company that sells authentic gear but changes the design. Not sold at all by them. I waited almost 2 years for 2 orders and $1600 later. Got refunded after shabby responses . RS Prop Masters got my money instead.

[@richardstevens2242]

I waited two years for a Stormtrooper helmet kit from Anovos. Two. Years. "Shipping Spring 2016" became "Shipping Fall 2016" and then "Shipping fall 2017", "Shipping Summer 2018". You get the picture. Once complete, the helmet looks fantastic, but...two years! I want to complete the ensemble with full armor, but I will probably go with RS Prop Masters when the time comes.

[@Sarge51BG]

Yup. Anovos is garbage. I’m part of the 501st and we discourage anyone from going with Anovos because of how poorly they do business. I got my armor from RS Propmasters.

[@djmitz9213]

@@Sarge51BG They're terrible. I was involved in a fan film that ultimately got shelved because of the wait for goods. Time and money wasted.

[@ShiryouOni]

I've met some of there reps in person at SW Celebration, they genuinely seemed like nice guys although that's probably the reps job. From everyone's stories being so similar though I do get the sense that they aren't really taking the license opportunity they've been given all that serious. I've still never received anything from them though so I can't speak from experience about the quality.

[@5HoH5520]

DJ Mitz how were you able to get the refund? I’ve been waiting and trying for two years. I’ve made a formal complaint to BBB as well, with a “no contact” from Anovos. They respond to emails for a few days and then stop. Always with some excuse their sorry it’s taking so long.

[@D.Pensak]

Consider yourself VERY lucky. I preordered my Anovos Royal Guard Helmet over a year ago. I still haven’t received it yet but they broke their neck in getting the Mando helmet out. This was my first experience with Anovos, had problems with the site at time of purchase, customer service was TERRIBLE, & I still don’t know if I’ll ever get my helmet.

[@anonimai]

So, did you ever get it?

[@D.Pensak]

@@anonimai Yes I finally got my helmet. Wait time of almost two years. Would NEVER buy anything from Anovos (now Denuo Novo) ever again.

[@ChrisJones-fm6wp]

For future reference, those pads would work better directly against your head instead of under the liner. That's how they were designed. If you want pads that will be more adjustable, I'm sure the Team Wendy liner system could be made to fit just about anything. If you want the best in comfort for all day wear, the 4D Zero G line can't be beat. I have them in my ballistic helmet for work that with NVG and counterweight weighs almost 10 lbs.

If you’re making the new beskar armor, to match the paint with the helmet use alumaluster paint, that’s the one used for the helmet. Use a gloss black for a base coat and then use the alumaluster. Hope this helps

would you ever consider letting someone use that helmet to make a mold of it

[@logansmith9437]

Thats called remolding and highly frowned upon in the propmaking community. If they find out they can also file legal action as you are profiting off of their work that is licensed. Plus with 3d printing and modeling so easy now, there are plenty of other makers that can provide better molds and castings.

[@balramaulakh2931]

I noticed that in the Mandolorian TV show, the helmet is missing the scope on the side of the normal Death Watch helmet.

[@munchxing]

There are multiple attachments for mandolorian helmets. Pre Visla had multiple sensors on the ear spots of his, Death Watch and the Fetts had simple range finders and so even have single sensors. It all depends on certain weapons and positions they are in such as Heavy infinity or Night Owls.

[@sonicfreak04]

would it have saved money if you got a casting of the helmet off etsy, and then painted it with "alumaluster"? then lightly distress it?

What they don’t say in this video is the back order dates that Anovos has ... They rarely email back , people have been waiting for refunds for years ... Some orders have haven’t been shipped for several years ... The helmets they have at the parks aren’t even available at purchase, only “preorder” ...

[@Prime_Diecast_And_Toys]

Also you can get the same if not better helmets and builds from other “unlicensed” builders , Anovos doesn’t even make lightsabers so I don’t know why that was even brought up. That helmet definitely isn’t worth the $650...

[@dalegillard]

You’re very lucky to have received it. And took a big risk giving Anovos $$$. I wouldn’t recommend buying from Anovos. I ordered a BSG Viper over a year ago and it hasn’t shipped. I’ve lodged support requests to find out what’s going on and only get automated email confirmation for the support ticket. And you read so many customer complaints about them on so many sites. They don’t have any way of contacting them either, no phone number, social media that exists but isn’t used and strangely has no posts form customers.

[@karlieacevedo1051]

I don’t know if it was intentional but the ones you were using for your cheeks, you were applying them backwards. I only know this because we had the same ones in the army for our helmets.

[@TridentLandStudios]

I've always wanted an item from Anovos but I'm concerned by the quality of this for the price. It looks pretty cheap. Mind you I'm hoping to purchase a Stormtropper full set so maybe each character quality is different.

[@Prime_Diecast_And_Toys]

Trident World Studios save the money . You can actually get better quality for less than Anovos prices .... search for WTF on facebook . Walts Trooper Factory - great builds
