These Premium First Order Stormtrooper Costumes Will Be Your Next Impulse Buy

Admit it: those First Order Stormtrooper armor sets look really cool. While Finn was taking his off after crashing in Jakku, my inner cosplayer was absolutely staring at each little piece, trying to see all the tiny little details, all while thinking about how cool it’d be to try to make a full set. Of course, I have no idea how to fabricate armor, so this was nothing more than wishful thinking. Now, thanks to ANOVOS, a high-end replica costuming company, I can skip fabrication and just go right to doing everyday things in rad new stormtrooper armor. Sweet!

Of course, given the quality of ANOVOS’ armor, it’ll run you a pretty hefty price. If you’re somewhat DIY-savvy and think you can assemble a kit, you’re looking at a $2,225 price tag. Or, if you’re like me and everything you touch ends up falling apart and you need help plugging in your laptop charger, you could grab a fully assembled set for $6,915. As well, you may have already seen these armor kits out in the wild: they’ve been sold to the 501st Legion for some testing.

Anyway, if you find yourself suddenly flush with cash and in need of a way better Halloween costume, then look no further friend. You can be the coolest kid on the block with these kits. Or, at the very least, the coolest kid at all the Star Wars movie premieres we’ll be attending for years and years and years to come.
