  4. ANOVOS TFA Armor Accuracy?

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    Posted · Edited by thechosenhitman

    That's exactly what they told me at the Rubies booth about their stormtrooper and their Vader :lol:

     

    Many of us are curious to know how you obtained your bucks. Did you cast an actual screen used suit, or did Disney supply you with the 3D printed bucks?

    If you took a 3D cad file and built your own bucks from that, with cardboard and bodo, you have done a fan sculpt, not too different than building from pep. No shame in that. Fan sculpts usually look better.

    I was told by the ANAVOS staff, that the display model was in fact a 3D printed (rapid prototype) model. I knew this to be untrue due to the red bondo showing through the seams. Furthermore, you can actually tell a 3D model by the tiny dots that it is built up with, like pixels in a photo or the sormtroopers in the TFA room.

     

     

    One more question:

    Do you have any proof that this TFA armor is a licensed product? I was told by the ANOVOS staff that these kits were mass produced in China. I believe this to be the case with the helmet but not the armor. It doesn't matter what size operation someone has when it comes to copyright info like you see on the bottom of a star wars Burger King toy (per copyright law) but I have seen no evidence that the armor is licensed.

     

    A non disclosure agreement doesn't mean "lie instead". After sifting through the various stories that I personally heard from ANOVOS staff, I find it hard to take anything they say at face value.

     

    Side note:

    The guy at the ANAVOS booth (white hat) was clearly aware of the inner workings of our recent VONC, Amy's distraught state, and the fact that she and her husband paid for their armor because he was the one that did the invoice. I was informed that we made a wrong decision in the recall election.I wonder why would he would know of this or why he would care?

    Something everyone forgets...the owners of ANOVOS are MEMBERS!!

     

    As for your other concerns I would suggest you take it up directly with ANOVOS, but I am willing to bet that they will not divulge how they made their own forming bucks and molds.

     

    Furthermore if they were not an approved licensee we would not even see this armor in our members hands right now, let alone be able to walk around in it at celebration.

  17. Facebook security?

    Facebook has been on a mission to make everyone use their real name. It is them asking for verification. I know several people that this has happened to & if you don't do it they will prevent you from using their "service"

    I am still trying to find the thread with the specifics. I know each rank has its own rocker patch, we will end up using different colored thread for the border of the detachment logo that the 4/5 rockers will go around. There are 14 or 15 different ranks, 3 different center logos (bronze, silver, & gold borders) that each rocker will go around.
