Looks amazing! :woohoo:
Been thinking about trying my luck with Anovos myself somewhere this summer; the Darth Vader looks amazing, but seeing this review makes me have a whole new appreciation for the Kylo Ren helmet - not that it didn't look menacing in the movies, but probably I've not seen close-ups like these (or just Black Series helmets) that don't have all the small details like the damage scars, etc.

Thanks for the review, I'm definitely getting more of a good feel about Anovos because of it (saw a few reviews for their Stormtrooper helmets and compared to the EFX or even Black Series, that one didn't look as amazing).

Thanks. Anovos totally nailed it with this Kylo Ren helmet.

I agree about the Stormtrooper helmet. Perhaps surprisingly, The Black Series Stormtrooper helmet is very good for its price (I have one). The voice changer on The Black Series Stormtrooper is poor but the helmet itself is excellent, looks comparable with the Anovos Stormtrooper, judging by review videos. I placed an order yesterday for a new release by Anovos, their Shocktrooper; basically just their Stormtrooper but hand painted with red marks.

But as for the Kylo, it's 10/10.

Hi Execute66,

Congrats on a fabulous Kylo Ren Helmet, but I hope you haven't killed my friend Chewie to make your coat!

I think I first came across the name Anovos when I saw a video by Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame, he had a full Kylo Ren outfit and went around a Comic-Con wearing it.

Anovos pieces are works of art and thanks for sharing yours with us.

For Tyeth

Yeah, like the rest of Anovos looks really amazing, but the Stormtrooper (especially judging from the reviews online) looks somewhat the same as the Black Series on the outside - but the inside looked like a mess.
The inside of this Kylo Ren or the Darth Vader really look great and comfortable to wear. I know the EFX Stormtrooper has the tendency to be very loose on one's head, but I think I would prefer to go for that one (also because the nose doesn't seem to go straight down but goes a bit outward).

Thanks guys. The interior of the Anovos Kylo is padded as you saw in the video. It is much more comfortable than unpadded helmets, plus those mini cushions allow you to insert anywhere you want.

You may have noticed my eyes were visible under brighter light. This is one thing that other reviewers have commented, that they felt the the wearer's eyes were too easily visible. Some have suggested a slight mod can be done, such as adding a darker film. I'm sure that's not too hard to do. But I just thought I should mention it, if you want a totally dark one piece lence.

That black fur in the video is faux fur. No harm done to any creatures. :cheer:
