Anovos sandtrooper armor

I am sorry if this doesn't go here or if it is a thread somewhere else, but it looks like Anovos has sandtrooper armor coming out with the e-ll blaster according to this pic from comingsoon.net at SDCC

It would be nice to see whether or not they've got the backpack.

Very cool....

I wonder how this affects eFx's stormtrooper offering? Gino?

My heart can't take all this... this... happiness.

The Sandies rule!

I'd wear that!

Interesting! Curious about the source of the armor.

When asked on Facebook, ANOVOS stated that: "More details revealed in time, but as far as the licensing is concerned, ANOVOS is producing costumes while eFX Inc. is producing props. It can be a little confusing!"

Seems like semantics, but were I to interpret that... I'd say ANOVOS is building gear tailored specifically to be worn as costumes (like how the Vader helmet was designed with comfort in mind), and eFX is producing pieces meant to be displayed as replicas. Both are, of course, aiming for a high level of detail and accuracy.

what is the consensus on price range?

Just conjecture at this point, but definitely not cheap. Personally, I'd say $3k-4k at least for Jango, and more than that for Stormtrooper/Sandtrooper and Vader.

This is an odd sort of line to me, who would wear this stuff at this price point?

Exactly. When you can get a very accurate RS Sandtrooper and the only thing you need next is a backpack. All for way less than $3000 if this will be the price for Anovos

I'd love to get this but already know I will be priced out

Looks like Vader will be about $2600 for the standard and $5400 for the premier (orders at the moment are 25% off for early birds). About what I expected for the premier line, but I'm glad they had a standard. Jango may be priced similarly, though your guess is still as good as mine for the troopers.
