So, apparently, Anovos unofficially announced that they will be making high-end GB uniforms and props, specifically mentioning the Proton Pack… Official announcement sometime in October…
This is pretty incredible. I heard nothing about this at the con. I just hope that it doesnt take the prop making aspect away from this site and hobby.
The CEO of Avonos was GBProps.com User #2 “Got Maul”.
I’m sure he would do right for all of us. After all he was a big help in getting the site off the ground in the first place.
I remember Got Maul, I had no idea he went on to do Anovos.
Licensed Proton Pack replicas are obviously something the community has been wanting for a very long time, but at this stage the Uniforms are really the best thing about this.
Anovos’s costumes are the next best thing to screen used, they’ll most likely be the first truly accurate uniforms we’ve seen. I haven’t had a full GB costume since I was a teenager, but I’ll be buying this.
Belt gizmo, the Gigameter and the proton pack.
is this legit ?
Well, the video says it is, straight from their mouth, so I would think so… what makes you doubt it, Joe?
have to agree with you 100% im done for a screen accurate and matching sound PKE
Welp… I look forward to them taking all of my money.
I don’t think so… did Anovos have that effect on the Star Wars and Star Trek communities?
Nope. The costumes produced by Anovos are expensive. They basically are the “one stop shop” for the costumer that have the cash.
That being said, if a person purchases a full Star Wars costume from them, it pretty much guarantees approval from the 501st and Rebel Legion.
let’s not forget as a prop builder you can build for far cheaper then purchasing from them. their imperial officer costume is 1500 bucks. I think that’s crazy expensive for that kind of costume..
I still believe this community will have more accurate packs then any mass produced company
if you look on therpf it also takes anovos a very long time to deliver…
I really hope their packs are like $20 cheaper than that VHS-Robert fellow and he’s driven right out of business. We know they will be better quality, lets just hope the price is there.
The only thing I would really want from Anovos is a Giga Meter…and we can now build these thanks to TC and hopefully Heavy props for electronics.
My real desire for them is accurate flightsuits (ripstop / herringbone)
It’s some consolation knowing that Got Maul is involved, that one of the community is going to have a hand in these. I suppose we can assume from this development that the “high end” replica Rubies had been working on, but had delayed on releasing is now unlikely to see mass production.
Price point notwithstanding, from what I’ve seen, they build quality props and I do understand that a business needs to make a profit to stay in business. I’d like to see what they come up with.
The question is, will they offer parts and kits, or only complete units. If it is only complete units then I don’t see any garage shops taking a big hit.
Whats $20 on a $1500 buy?
My point was that he only exists because there isn’t anyone else cranking out packs like he does and if a viable competitor could undercut him by just a tiny bit he’d collapse.
