Amazing stuff, but probably in the same category as the QMX ships. I'd love to be wrong there though. :'(

It's my understanding (from over at the TPZ) that those are not even Anovos prototypes. They got fan-made replicas so they would have something to display at SDCC. I don't remember who made them, but they're TPZ members.

If they release them all at the same time I'm going to have to get a bank loan!
Really stunning offerings!

DS9 rifle, Boomerang and Dolphin phasers, lovely, my dream props (to go with my tricorder).
Including the First Contact rifles and tricorders as well, Anovos definitely know what the Next-Gen era fans want. I have to be honest, I'm glad to see the Boomerang and Dolphin getting made before the Cobra, but that's just my preference (Boomerang = DS9, and Dolphin = 'up to date' Cobra - at least, that's how I think of it).

I've wanted a First Contact Phaser Rifle since the first time I saw the prop, it really saddens me that i'll probably never be able to afford one of these.
At least the Boomerang and Dolphin Phasers have SOME change of being made by DST....

That's what I don't understand about DST doing the cobra. They said it took so long because they couldn't decide which version to do. I'd imagine there's greater demand for the boomerang or dolphin, and more choices for variants.

The Boomerang is the one I would've thought DST would make first - DS9, First Contact/Insurrection, and Voyager, there's multiple shows being represented by it, and they all had unique variants (different coloured triggers!). The Cobra was only from TNG, and whilst I still love the shape of it, the Boomerang seems to be a big favourite.
Regardless of the order though, if DST ever do make the Dolphin (my favourite as well due to the internals), it definitely needs to have the sliding cowl. I'm sure they would do it, due to the Enterprise Phase Pistol.
Getting back on topic, does anyone think these Anovos props will be slightly cheaper than what we're used to with Roddenberry/Master Replicas/EFX etc, due to the range they're going to offer? Three rifles, two phasers and two tricorders would cost any collector an arm and a leg based off of what we know. Might be just wishful thinking on my part. lol

I doubt they will be cheaper. Especially if they have Hero electronics.
The main reason is I expect the runs to be pretty small. For example, I think the last run of that Rod Tric was only about 200 pieces and it takes skilled people to hand assemble them.

I hope I'm wrong, and they are cheaper, but Gothneo is right about how it will most likely go.

Maybe as Tuvok47 suggests, they will tier the prop offerings.

I wasn't familiar with this company until this thread, what I'm wondering (along with the prices just like everyone else) is will they likely release everything at once?
I've always wanted a TNG/DS9 Phaser rifle, matching FC Phaser, and I'd like a FC Rifle also, but if they all came out at once I'd have to prioritise.
