While it's possible that the Zeo Gold Armor chest piece may be a "stunt" variation similiar to how the Power Rangers/Super Sentai Green Ranger Dragon shield has ("stunt" and "hero" variations) this isn't clear nor confirmed on Aniki's side. I will have to get confirmation if this was done purposely or not; never have I've seen/acknowledged a different verison of the piece whereas the Green Dragon Shield has been seen with two different variations seen in the show.
Not to bash your credibility in any way, but one thing I don’t understand is why people that buy from them with the promise of I don’t know let’s say 3 months to have a suit ready, the moment you see that time lapse has been surpassed and don’t see any real progress or update on your order why don’t people just dispute the transaction either on Paypal or Etsy and get your money back? I mean you only have up to 6 months before disputing the transaction on Paypal.
At the time Etsy was not a thing and paypal at most would only cover me in a shorter time frame. Not only that but the "worst" of it that I heard was a year at most. I was missing a lot more context until it became more common knowledge about people waiting beyond a year and had I known that context I wouldn't have risked it and more have used Etsy if they had a page at the time.
@@FroBoy696 I have actually a Red Ranger Full Cosplay suit, from Halu Costumes and the helmet from Eric0101, but if I wanted to order from Aniki Cosplay in the future let's say just the helmet I know it takes time to get a great quality helmet, but in my case the very moment I see the Etsy or PayPal dispute deadline is getting close and my order is not getting near full fulfillment I would just cancel my order and dispute it with PayPal, believe me as a business owner that's what hurts a company the most 😣
This has me conflicted now. I want a Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger suit, and I'm not sure where to look for that besides Aniki. If it doesn't arrive on time, would doing what you daid with Etsy help? Also wouldn't mind suggestions about where else to look
@@robertevans4842 yes sir, just pasted the 8 year mark, next year will be 9 years! They don't reply on any platform, sent out orders placed after mine since they set up an Etsy account and they don't allow comments on any of the socials because of people who haven't received orders. I also have a video up on my page with my Aniki issue and others comments about their orders
21:15 1500 to 2000? Wow... Glad that you shared your experience with getting the costume. While looking at the in depth examination of the costume, I realized that the "circuitry" around the collar was a bit rushed. It didn't look like it was embroidered as I thought it would be. I was thinking about making that suit for myself but I had to get more references on the "armor" parts. Still can't get over that 1500 minimal price tag... Might as well invest in a car first. Never the less, I still have ways to go to match that group in terms of quality.
I purchased my suit from them in December of 2019 through Facebook. They stayed on top of email updates up till January 2021 saying the suit is done, helmet mold is done but they are waiting on accessories and waiting for paint as well. Since then, i haven’t heard anything and they won’t respond no matter how i contact them.
1.) Grats on your positive attitude and progress with your body work! 2.) Thanks for taking the time to talk through these points. Your criticisms are valid. 3.) You're making me glad I ordered through Etsy. The many stories about Aniki's delays made me real hesitant, but there just aren't as many vendors making these hard pieces. 4.) How's the shine under other lighting? The shop picture has a high luster on all the gold pieces, and I'm curious if it's just studio lighting bringing that out or if it seems to be a different material entirely. 5.) I've seen others recommend wearing a full-body suit under the visible one, to ease strain on the fabric while you're moving. Is this something you'd recommend, from your own experience?
1) Appericiate it. I am still progressing as we speak. 2) I try to be transparent in my reviews. 3) Yeah had it not been for Etsy I wouldn't have still considered ordering from them given by the amount of stuff that site has assured me. 4) I do think that their photos are purposely amped up due to the lighting and set background. My stuff doesn't shine as distinctively in general lighting and sun light. 5) Honestly I've simply worn a shirt and standard undergarments only. I haven't noticed any strains aside from the fact that if you're packing extra weight you would risk stretching/ripping it.
Ordered a Kamen Rider Brave cosplay in 2017 as a treat to myself for getting into my top choice University/College. Six fucking years later and its still not been shipped. Despite paying for the bullshit-named "Express" service.
I waited four plus years going on five for my kamen rider ouja costume. Im surprised there werent multiple attempts to get together and sue them so far i only saw one.
Over 4 years and still waiting for my helmet and now they refuse to respond to my messages on every contact form. This company is pathetic and I’ve been scammed out of a lot of money.
$850 wow now hes charging $1300 on sale down from $1500. And you and i are around the same bodytype in this video. And they use etsy because their name is in the garbage now
I'm sure it takes a lot of time to make these suits and he gets flooded with orders. The lack of communication is frustrating though, and the unreasonable wait times is unacceptable. He shouldn't list things for sale if he doesn't have the time to make them. It sounds like it's a single guy trying to do large scale company production and he just can't keep up. Dude needs to hire some employees.
@JoJoTheCosplayer it covers/insures you whenever you purchase anything on that site hence why they enforced Aniki to complete the two helmets that I ordered on their site.
Well first off, congratulations on receiving your full costume. 5 years+ in the making. I bought a Dekamaster costume, paid upfront on July 13, 2019 by PayPal. The last official email I received from them was on July 20, 2022 and communication was okay up until then nothing back since. Waiting 4 years, and almost 8 months. How did you keep with the emails and contacts? What did you do differently for them to respond back to you? I am curious and envious of your success. Thanks!

I mean I heard their products are sweet but dayum 5 years is just unreasonable
thanks for the review! Was thinking of getting this one next.

The amount they charge per costume, they can hire more people to get these suits out faster.
Happy to hear you received yours. I'm still waiting for my white ranger suit I ordered back in 2015
I am so sorry you're still waiting.
What the hell man? You mean you been waiting almost 9 years?!

Nice helmet. Looking good froboy!
I ordered a helmet from Aniki in March of 2017...never saw it...eventually, I went with another maker.
August 2017... Ordered a helmet, haven't heard anything since 2021. Wild.. lol

sorry for your wait thank you for posting just the same
I know it’s only been 5 months, but have you found any armor makers? Specifically for Zeo Gold?
5 years!! My god
Thats what scares me from ordering from him. What if you move? Thats so scary

Also just saying I’m pretty sure Aniki is the official cosplay place for power rangers
Nah, just a lot of pr actors have gotten their own personal suits from aniki

I think it never a good idea to trust anikicosplay
Hence Etsy.
