Denuo Novo – NECA and Rubies Combine for High End Star Wars Collectibles

Yeahhhhhhhhhh not interested at those prices. Rubies is synonymous with hit or miss quality and while NECA being a sort of quality control is great, I still don't see how they can justify charging 700 bucks for a helmet. I'm sure it makes sense when you factor in licensing and production, but I highly doubt the quality will be worth the price.

Yeah I'm not into spending this much, if I wanted a helmet the Hasbro ones will suffice.

The Imperial officer's looks kind of neat though.

I love how all the pictures containing a stand were cut off halfway down so you don't actually see the base of the stand because they're not including one. That rubs me the wrong way for some reason.

So this "Denuo Novo" is actually just a rebranding of Anovos, from what I can deduce, especially given both companies use the exact same explanation for the meaning of their names.

Not sure if Anovos was previously owned by NECA/Rubies, or if this was a buyout, but reading between the lines on the FAQ makes it pretty clear. Seems like Anovos probably got into some trouble, and either NECA bailed them out with a buyout, or the company name was simply changed to avoid some potential legal issues…

Either way, NECA is spinning it like it's something bramd new, when it is definitely not, and that just seems shady to me.

The fact that this is even tangentially attached to ANOVOS in any way, shape or form, means you should avoid this like the plague. For those not in the know, I encourage you to do some quick Googling: Anovos has scammed so many people and they have some big lawsuits on the way. I personally know people waiting on products they ordered back in 2014. This company sucks.

For those that want good screen accurate props, costumes, and helmets, they're not expensive and they're not hard to find. You just have to look around.

Buy from RS Propmasters instead if you want quality replica helmets from a reliable company. Their prices are fair too compared to Anovos and they'll actually fulfill the orders, unlike Anovos!

I’ve talked about wanting Neca to make higher end figures. Maybe this is a step in that direction. It would be great to see what happens at the 65-85 dollar mark
