=== Rank Pins ===

In May 2010, ANOVOS launched the licensed line of rank device pins for the enlisted crew members of the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]]. As they are manufactured by the same Canadian-based company that manufactured the pins for the production, using the same standards, their replica pins match the production made pins. According to initial reviews, they are virtually indistinguishable from the pins that were used in the production.<ref name="mppc">{{cite_web|url=http://www.themppc.com/magpress/exclusive-anovos-ready-to-launch-initial-battlestar-galactica-offering/|title=The MPPC: ANOVOS Ready to Launch Initial Battlestar Galactica Offering|date=19 May 2010|accessdate=4 June 2010|last=Wendlick|first=Shannon|format=|language=}}</ref>

ANOVOS is slated to release two high-quality replicas of costumes worn in the series. As of right now, the company is slated to release:

* Enlisted Battle Dress Uniform 
* Double Tank Top Set

The enlisted battle dress uniforms will be created by the same manufactures and with processes (such as enzyme washing) used to colorize them to ''Galactica'' green, and outfitted with a shoulder patch (or "flash"). 

The double tank top set will use the same patterns that were used in the production, and will consist of the grey sleeveless undershirt and the olive drab tank.
