While their costume/props are pretty high quality (they mostly do soft stuff), they're usually pretty overpriced.

 

I'm dying to see how their hard armor and mixed costumes come out. I'm not going to judge like a snob yet :) We can hope the product jockeys at LFL are on top of their game lately.

 

You know we're going to see a lot of this at C7...

These guys will replace Museum Replicas and will start making Star Wars costumes too.

ANOVOS Productions LLC | ANOVOS Productions LLC

Channel Han, Luke, and Darth with official 'Star Wars' costumes - CNET

"You don't have to join the Rebels, be best friends with a Wookiee, or make a doomed deal with an Emperor to get your hands on replicas of costumes worn by Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Darth Vader in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back."

The official "Star Wars" replica costume collection comes from elite nerd costumier Anovos. It premieres with three outfits -- Luke Skywalker's Bespin uniform (with holster), Han Solo's iconic outfit and, later in the summer, Darth Vader's intimidating garb. Replica costumes range in size from small to XXL and are considered unisex.

"Our new 'Star Wars' collection goes way beyond simple costumes," Anovos CEO Joe Salcedo said in a press release. "They're based on the original costume designs and patterns used in the production of these classic movies."

Presales for these licensed wearable replica costumes start on Star Wars Day, May the 4th, beginning with the three outfits from "The Empire Strikes Back." Pieces from the collection will premiere during the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo from April 25 to 27.

Later in the year, under the banner of "Kamino Armor Works," Anovos will expand its collection with armor-based costumes, including bounty hunter Jango Fett's outfit and the Clone Trooper suit from "Star Wars" Revenge of the Sith." The company plans to include wearable armor and costume replicas of Stormtroopers, Biker Scouts, Sandtroopers, and various Clone Trooper styles."

Now I'm wondering about a few things regarding the Stormtrooper armor for example:

- what will be the difference in accuracy, materials and other features/options compared to the TK armor released by eFX
- what will be the price compared to eFX Stormie armor (and, why not, other suits of armor)
- how long it will take for Anovos to release their stuff
- what will be this "Vader garb" in the end

We have talked about this on the SLD some. Apparently there is a member there who is close friends with the guys who are this company and they are all big fans. From their Vader information they have said that their vader will be a more generic version, so not related to one specific movie but rather a generic all movie vader.

 

Also, he says that the guys have had full access to teh LFL archives, so they may have the ability to make molds/castings/scans of original gear.

 

It has the potential to be good.

 

But it will not replace any of the current vendors, it will just be another option. Most likely it will be general gear that can be classified as a stormtrooper, but nothing like TM, RS, CFO and so on that are movie specific 100% accurate replicas.

Just got home from C2E2.  The ANOVOS costumes didn't look generic at all, in fact, I was very impressed.  The prices weren't generic either...  All SW related merchandise was "MSRP Pending".  Their other soft costumes look DEAD-ON accurate in color, texture and hardware.  Someone obviously did their homework.  Example of prices?  Men's Premier Line Next Generation Full Uniform - $1000.  Admiral Kirk Premier Line Wrath of Khan Uniform - $2400.  Men's Premier Line TOS Shirt - $325.  You get what you pay for?
