Anovos Death Trooper Kit

[EliG]

Wondering what are your guys opinions on the DT kit that just released this week. Also the two helmets they offer. is it worth that 1.5K price tag?

[lancer[TX]]

I think the kit looks mediocre at best. Probably not worth the inevitable wait it will take to even receive a kit. The helmets on the other hand I think are amazing. I couldn't be happier with mine. Sort of ruffled some feathers with that opinion on the DT builders group but I would buy a second in a heartbeat, and probably will with the new release.

As Lance mentioned, Helmet is worth the money though a little expensive. Seen the armor kit at SWCO. Is it worth 1k? Not in my opinion

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

From an accuracy standpoint, the helmet is one of the best. For armor, most all the kits are very close so any would work.

The main reason Id go for an Anovos helmet is accuracy and lightweight (assuming it is plastic) and that sounds preferable to resin for me...can you guys that on one confirm? Id like to know for sure before dropping $700 on a plastic bucket...

The Anovos helmet is made of fiberglass, and to be honest it's heavy as dirt. Its not uncomfortably heavy, but much more so than I was expecting.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

But it is accurate...

[BlitzJaeger]

What are the thoughts on it then? I have seen a KB Props and it is pretty good, but the Anovos does look a bit cleaner pull...and I just hate cleaning up resin buckets

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

It's pricey, but it doesn't suffer from being slightly inflated in size where some others do. It's accurate, but it's heavy. You need to weigh those things. If the money isn't a question and the weight isn't a concern, then it is a great choice.

[BlitzJaeger]

Good point Steve. So then: Can someone with an Anovos please weigh their helmet?

 

Guys with other helmets can we get some weights from you?

 

Lets say finished, visor and all, the padding shouldnt matter too much, but we may as well know right? Cant be that hard to compare.

Not to say I'm an Anovos fanboy but Anovos is the only mfg given access movie costumes, though the OTTK is still up for debate lol. Their accuracy in many aspects will be very close. Disney and Lucas have very strict guidelines they need to follow so again you can trust it will be very close to canon.

 

That being said I have the FOTK beta fiberglass helmet. From what I understand all the fiberglass helmets they make weigh almost the same, within 1lb of each other. My FOTK was roughly 5lbs. Being the DT helmet is a large construction hemet with greeblies I say is will be close if not heavier than others. Without having one in my hands that's my educated guess.

sweet, so yea I'm gonna start leaning towards the Anovos helmet then and work my build from their. Thanx for the great input and suggestions. Cant wait!
