Anovos, a maker of licensed costumes for Star Wars, Star Trek, and Battlestar Galactica, made their first appearance at Salt Lake Comic Con this past weekend. Here I talk to Dean Plantamura of Anovos about what they are showing off this fall: some existing merchandise as well as some prototypes and upcoming products, including the First Order stormtrooper helmet from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” After the interview, there’s a slide show of different costumes in the booth, including a prototype of the Rebel Fleet Trooper costume, a look at Darth Vader and a shadow trooper, and more.
In addition to the injection molded First Order trooper helmet, they are also producing an even higher quality fiberglass helmet (see last image in slideshow). To view or share the photos, visit this album on Flickr.
