Misfit13[TK] Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 Hey everyone! So I bought the Anovos kit. I've no illusions as I am sure that several mods will need to be required to make it pass muster for 501st approval. However, I am really looking forward to it! Just wanted to share my excitement. Researching the crap out of this forum for a good E-11 as well! 1 Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 I wouldn't be that much pessimistic, i'm sure it will be as simple to get approved with this kit than any others . You just will have to assemble it properly. Quote
Misfit13[TK] Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Posted May 11, 2015 Thank you sir, for the encouragement. It's the wait for shipping that is killing me Quote
Mongoose[TK] Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 In the meantime like you mentioned start looking for the blaster and other components that the armor doesn't come with.Ā That might help with the wait.Ā I hear you though, the waiting is the worst sometimes. Ā And start reading some build threads.Ā I had pictures hanging all ove rmy basement before my kit even arrived. 2 Quote
Misfit13[TK] Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Posted May 11, 2015 Yeah, I'm going to the local squad's build party this weekend to meet the people and get acquainted with the build process. Quote
Picasso69 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 I also ordered the Anovos armor. This will be my first and I'm not that worried about it. I read this comment and it right. It's how you fit it to your body that get you passed. ------"Who makes the armor/costume is not what's approved. It's how it looks and fits the wearer that makes something approved or not. ;-) Each costume is independently reviewed, regardless of the maker." Ā Ā Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
manyhighkicks[TK] Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 I also got the anovos kit and it's my first costume, as well. I am so excited to start! I can't wait to get to an armor party and see what has to be handled for it to all fit properly. Can't wait to hear how it all goes for you guys!Ā 1 Quote
BadBatch[501st] Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Welcome aboard from a fellow newb and ANOVOS buyer.There are a LEGION worth of us out there So far I've sourced my E-11 blaster (the new disney edition) and upgrades,http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30818-new-disney-electronic-e-11-blaster-way-better-than-hasbro/my boots, and have tentatively secured my vox unit.I may, however, be falling to the lure of dirty armour and a pauldron and going TD instead of TK. #SoSorrySo I will potentially have to build the backpack and erase some stripes from my tears and traps.

Stonedtrooper Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 I also grabbed a ANOVOS kit and am very excited to get started building it. Quote
BILLSID29 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Ordered a kit also my first hopefully not to difficult to put together. Been reading all the threads on here about builds and I think my heads going to explode! 1 Quote

Geektechlive[TK] Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 One more question for you all: Ā I am 6'2" and 210lbs. I was just told in another thread that the anovos probably would not fit me? Ā Ā too much black showing? Ā Ć¢ā¬ā¹I wasĀ really hoping that since anovos let you choose your size that I would not have issues. now I am worried. Was told the anovos was based on screen accurate size of 5'8" and 170 lbs. Ā I hope IĀ didn't just buy a very niceĀ mannequin.Ā Quote
Sonnenschein Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Just a quick question: Where would someone order the kit? I didn't find it on their HP Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Just a quick question: Where would someone order the kit? I didn't find it on their HP http://www.anovos.com/products/star-wars-classic-trilogy-imperial-stormtrooper-pre-order Quote
Sonnenschein Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Oh, I thought this was about the TFA trooper. I was confused. Must be the latex fumes Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Oh, I thought this was about the TFA trooper. I was confused. Must be the latex fumes The TFA kit isn't publicly available yet. There is a sign up list for the next batch for 501st members, so hurry up finishing your armour. Quote

BILLSID29 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Just an FYI looks like the DoobyDoo's are back in stock I just ordered one, good luck! Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Updated topic title to be more specific. Quote
BadBatch[501st] Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Where did you get boots? I reached out to tkboots and they were sold out. I ordered black Chelsea boots on Amazon and will be painting them white with leather paint. I'm 100% certain now that I'll be going Sandie, so if the paint scuffs off a bit it will look just right.
