Hello group, I'm back with another query if anyone can help.
For years I've dreamed of having a replica Storm Trooper suit
I liked the original Storm Troopers but I've really fallen for the new FO suites with the new style helmet.
I watched a video on Youtube where the Anovos company were announcing/releasing a new suit to coincide with the new TFA film and I thought my time had come(!) but I then came across a video of someone unboxing one of the new Anovos suits and I was shocked to see that a) the plastic was so thin and flimsy and b) it came in so many parts and c) many of the parts required rubbing down(rough edges etc) and drilling.
At the end of the video he turns to the camera and smiling but semi-shocked says "well, tonnes of work to put it together"!.
I then watched an unboxing of an original Storm Trooper suite made by Shepperton Design Studios. This initially seemed to be a slightly better quality but as the video progressed little cracks also started to appear and when the review of the suit as worn came on it was another disappointment with poorly fitting parts. It seemed to be a "one size fits all" and although the reviewer acknowlegded he wasn't the biggest of people I felt the suit just wasn't worth the £600 price tag.
My idea of a replica suit would basically be a two-piece suit(legs + body) plus helmet
Apologies if this has been debated before(I had a quick look but couldn't see anything) but can anybody shed any light or hope on the issue of a real life replica Storm Trooper FO suit?.
Many thanks once again.
