Unboxing Stormtrooper Armor from Anovos

[@EhAmes94]

This video has everything anyone could ever want! An awesome beard, cool wife, cat, guitar, nice curtains, and Star Wars stuff. xD

[@G_Ellis606]

Actually, this guys life looks kinda lame and depressing... just saying...

Rollo Red i can agree 110 percent

and a old couch

[@josephalfonso4622]

You forgot “nice wooden table”

[@BSGNUT]

The indentation on the upper arm piece is definitely not a defect or bad vacuum pull. It is, in fact, very screen/film accurate. :). I worked for Hasbro on the Star Wars line for many years so, my information is confirmed with Lucasfilm archival information.

[@mehmetcy84]

Your channel has reached a whole new level in terms of content richness with the addition of unboxing videos, armor(helmet) videos, colloboration (with I am shad) videos and last but not least videos with your costume designer wife. Keep up the great work. I have seen your "how to prepare a quality video: behind the scenes" video, and I think the richness/diversity in actual content is so much more important than the formal and templated presentation.

[@edwardmedina1236]

FYI from my own lessons Learned on Anovos Kit. 1. Their strap system identifying document can give you a headache so I highly suggest figuring out which strap is what and put them in zip lock bags with labels saying what they are before you even start. 2. You may already know this but get E6000 Adhesive - It will save you a headache 3. Start trimming the easier pieces (IE Shoulders) that don't require gluing makes you feel like you've made some progress 4. You are going to need a tool to punch down the snaps (may want to buy it before you start) 5. Scratches - Don't remove the plastic until you are ready to wear it. However, if you still have scratches you can sand the scratches away. I start with 600 and go upto 2000 (wet sanding) and then use neutral shoe polish to give it shine (if you have ever done a spit shine that's what you want). Anyway - Good Luck. Oh - I have some pretty decent forearms like you - It goes without saying don't trim it all the way down if you gotten the Large Kit (that's what I got). I left some extra material so I could fit my forearm into that thing once its glued.

[@MaximilienRobespierre1]

Great video. I am a bit disappointed that the armour and helmet is not completed at such a cost.

[@AidanBlake]

Very cool! I built a set of ATA armor back in October, it is a TON of fun! If you've ever built model ships, it's like that, but way more time consuming and exhausting, and way more satisfying because the end product is wearable armor! I sent you a message on Reddit with a Google Doc link (didn't want to post it to KZbin just yet) with a ton of resources for building stormtrooper armor, good luck! :D

[@PWT7M7PZHM]

Casey? Kasey? Wife lady should do videos on her costuming work. I would watch the hell out of that.

[@medievalreview]

Casey, and she might do some costume videos on the channel at some point.

[@EhAmes94]

+Medieval Review Yes please.

[@pwiest2545]

Hi there o/ I was looking for a video where you build and wear your Stromtrooper armor, but I didn't find it. It sure would be nice to see how it fits you. Cheers !

[@KevinKwok123]

i just got my kit today and was surfing for videos. I love that your wife is already in the 501st, would love to see how she helps you make this 501st approved because I am sure that is the goal of many people who bought this kit! Please share her thoughts moving forward :)

[@medievalreview]

+Kevin Kwok I think we will do some of this. Currently we have to figure out the path to approval, in it's stock condition it's apparently lacking, and needs some minor things to meet approval. Or at least, that is my understanding.

[@KevinKwok123]

Yeah thats also my understanding. They tried to make it really clear that this was not 501st approved as is. I'll be following you on this journey and maybe we will meet each other at an event some day! ha.

[@KevinKwok123]

any progress on this?

[@DataCentre007]

Excellent video. I just got mine last week and am currently doing the cut outs and modifying my helmet. Can’t wait to join 501st The Outer Rim Garrison.

[@samueldanealexander180]

Build video? Maybe fast forwarded with a commentary 😀

[@actionbricktv5355]

what is with shepperton Design Studios? !

[@chrisholmes682]

SO WHAT WAS THE PRICE? I am completely interested in getting one, in a star wars wedding soon

[@GetofFenris1]

I have no tools how do you finish this armor

[@edwardmedina1236]

Are you going to do a video showing the trimming and then the final product?

[@medievalreview]

+Edward Medina When I get back from vacation, I will likely do a quick update video about some of the problems we have faced so far, thoughts on the easier way to work with trimming, etc. I don't know how valuable my insight will be compared to more seasoned TK builders, but I will provide it none the less.

[@edwardmedina1236]

Medieval Review I got mine around the same time and I am just now starting on the trimming. Starting to wonder if I should have bought the ready to wear one from Original Stromtroopers. No - I should have confidence in my abilities. I just need more examples on how they fit. I'll be putting ANH and pausing the video to look how it actually fits.

[@BenBruben]

+Medieval Review How much dd it cost you!??!?!

[@balazsmoro1815]

She asked you to join her! You should have said heck yesssssss! For the first time

[@Filiplego1]

Where can I get the armor for really cheap price :/?

[@ARR0WMANC3R]

Your cat looks just like you.

[@ARR0WMANC3R]

"I kneeded to know" :|

[@medievalreview]

+ARR0WMANC3R =D My wife has learned to ignore me.

[@freddierowe-crowder7178]

Medieval Review the picture of the 3 storm troopers aren't movie accurate

[@canadiancollector5236]

IS this the kit?

[@treyweger]

I would LOVE to have a wife that does costuming for Star Wars 😂 that's so awesome

[@1forge2rulethemall88]

I know you already said you might not be able to but I think I'd be cool if you showed how maneuverable (or not maneuverable) the storm trooper armour is, compared to real armour. Thx anyway

[@HawkOfGP]

+1Forge 2RuleThemAll (1Forge2RuleThemAll) It is plastic, so I'd expect it to be quite manoeuvrable.

[@caseyriley652]

+MuikuliWander You'd be surprised. It's impossible to sit down in it without modifying the codpiece, and the shape of the helmet makes it impossible to look down. You get use to it, but it does restrict a good bit. Especially since this is fantasy armor designed to look cool in a movie, rather than real armor designed to actually function on a battle field.

[@gpgpgpgp1000]

Very cool video. I'm finding it more and more common that people who like Medieval stuff are like me, they like a Tri-fecta of Historical / Fantasy / Sci- Fi. By the way, you lucky dog, congrats on finding an attractive woman who shares your interests.

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

I love when girls know more Star Wars facts than guys, haha

[@lorearna]

Awesome that you guys love the same stuff! Great!!! Congrats!

[@Rinks80]

you sir...have got yourself a keeper. And I'm not referring to the armor...

[@HorribleWeather]

How much?

[@DizzyKing76]

meh its cool and all but why is a real professional version not availeble. one with actual amor like pieces with realistic fittings and solid construction

[@kevingreenfield6866]

The biceps I think the guy who moulded the armor left his thumb print on the armor probably

[@nudl3Zz]

does your wife have instagram or something? would be cool to see her work

[@toxi87]

you should do a cutting video with a sword in the armor you know to show the move ability of it lol

[@TechLikeABoss]

Forgive me if I'm sounding like an idiot, but did they mention if this is 501st approved?

[@medievalreview]

Out of the box, no. like every kit it has to be modified.

[@TechLikeABoss]

+Medieval Review thank you very much

[@massgator1]

i ordered a $800.00 stormtrooper costume from my fathers checking account and the website that I ordered it from told me it would not fit me and they would not ship it or refund my fathers money my father lost $800.00 because I wanted a stormtrooper costume so much.

[@Interracialreviews]

Go check my unboxing of the first order stormtrooper figure! Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foaVmKVtiJWfeLs

[@loganbeaumont2490]

Anovos, as she said, is very hit or miss. There are many better kits out there for the same or better prices. I recommend RSPropMasters from the UK, it is the only company that casts off the origional molds. Before buying Anovos, at least check their website and compare for yourself.

[@omc7658]

Con lo buena que esta la mujer que hace con el tio este??

[@therandomcow3543]

3:48 PUN INCOMING

[@Wolfboy-kk2qs]

The most acyrate is shepiton design studio they make the most accurate

[@nicholairisvang]

No Shepperton Design studios are very far from accurate. It is a great armour for having fun as a Star Wars bad guy. But accurate it is not. If you aim for 501st approval, stat far away from Shepperton.

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

Clone Rule! But still you do make it look good

[@biggiecheese7773]

The helmet looks good

[@OcielGarciaBustos]

Ba-Hahaha!! I like how you have the infamous stench cow in your profile pic medieval review.

[@medievalreview]

+Ociel Garcia The Bonnacon! It's my logo because I try to protect people from the crap!

[@OcielGarciaBustos]

Nice! See in Dungeon & Dragons in the lower planes there is a beast that they call the stench cow that inhabbits the abyss. I gotta go to work ttyl about this but cool pic! none the less

[@samueldanealexander180]

She just became the coolest wife on KZbin!

[@unclecalnnn7199]

Can you ask your wife if I can join the 501st or if I even can I’m only 11

[@spacedigger]

My god dude.. I love your wife now.. By the way, the plastic does look a bit weak somehow.

[@medievalreview]

+spacedigger It not much different from other plastic kits, strong enough, but not super thick. We will see how it works in practice. The biggest problems I'm running into building the kit is the sizing. I'm a pretty large guy, and it is just not fitting.

[@warthunder_The_scalemodeler_za]

Dont forget sheperton design studio

[@tk-3098]

Shepperton design studio's was the first

[@Rubadubdub42]

You have no idea how jealous I am.

[@SebastianSzukalski]

"medieval" review. That having been said, cool unboxing.

[@L.J.Kommer]

+Sebastian Szukalski Well, it was *"a long time ago..."* :p

[@wazzchelton9128]

YOU LOOK LIKE MR STOM MAN! HAHAHAHAHHAHAH

[@quinntaylor-poole4283]

WE FINALLY KNOW HIS NAME.

[@medievalreview]

+Quinn Taylor-Poole To be fair I've had it in the credits of every video.

[@quinntaylor-poole4283]

Medieval Review oh. well, im dumb lol

[@cenjji3892]

I call the original stormtrooper armor phase 1 I call the new force awakens armor phase 2

[@cenjji3892]

Phase 1 armor phase 2 armor

[@VeridianNetworking]

Great Video, just subbed and I look forward to new videos. :)

[@erichusayn]

Like how you had to have your arm twisted...hahahahah

[@Dekard911]

The divot in the left arm is screen accurate. kidologist.com/wp-content/2014/03/leia_trash_compactor.jpg

[@bomburthefat6621]

This is a amazing vid

[@igneous061]

...huhm, make sure you chose your emparor wisely if you ever hear chainsword reving..... ;)

[@L.J.Kommer]

$1,800 is actually a lot cheaper than I thought. O.o

[@medievalreview]

+Lukas K Well... I'd say it's still pretty expensive, there are cheaper ways to make the stormtrooper armor. I'm honestly glad we paid less than that to kickstart the production line.

[@goldAUsilverAG]

And that is the price of the prebuilt. you can get the kit like this for around $650. Unfortunately it seems that it is currently unavailable.

[@medievalreview]

+goldAUsilverAG I think prebuilt is $1800. it's significantly cheaper to get the DIY kit. not certain.

[@bearling477]

Thats some waifu you got right there.

[@jjtwins9262]

I love cats

[@Rhoedision]

Awsum video

[@alanroll9341]

Awesome wife very lucky fella

[@Helmutlozzi]

It's no fun when you aren't wearing it.

[@jamesbuck5781]

You have the best wife!!

[@jesseguajardo8592]

I want to join the 501th

[@mathius8772]

This is hard to watch.... I would rather the wife do the video alone tbh xD lol

[@XxKINGatLIFExX]

Matthew Briggs hmmm

[@simongarciahernandez7084]

Very disappointed with what Anovos have come up with. It's an obvious recast of RS with the detail cleaned up excissively and largely unhelpful cut lines added to the molds. The license (and supposed access to the archives (their claim not mine!) was an opportunity to bring the community something new and maybe even better than we already have. Sadly, it wasn't to be.

[@Surferjo]

$2K-7K USA NOOOOOOO

[@chrisholmes682]

oh thats one you have to cut out, no thanks

[@Nativtexan2]

Those helmets suck. I have held one in my hands and for the price it's pretty flimsy and put together rather poorly. Something that's brand new and you're gonna have to work on it already? Get an ATA or something fan made, you'll be happier.

[@GlassJawzDC]

ugh

[@lennymax1354]

This shit is fuckin expensiv

[@adult8207]

looks like cheap plastic

[@joelharrison4131]

Savage Of Chaos it's the stuff that the originals were made from

[@lucasignorelli8786]

buuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SebastianSzukalski]

"medieval" review. That having been said, cool unboxing.
