- Happy to answer and questions you have in the comments. This video is not made for profit or anything. just a warning to not waste your money as it will be YEARS before you even see your suit IF you even see it at all. Aniki has been screwing me around for 3 years now. Don't make the same mistake I did, buy it from somewhere else or just live without it. NOTHING is worth all this time, and pain its taken so far and I STILL don't have what was paid for.

Thank you I was actually considering spending $1,500 on five helmets but after seeing this video I think I'm going to spend that money on a 3D printer and do it myself
I was about to Order the gold zeo ranger outfit from them back in february of 2019. But after watching tons of videos of bad reviews and rants on aniki, plus facebook messages on Aniki's page even spoke more volumes on not to buy anything from them because they have horrible business ethics. $900 to $1300 suits for aniki to take half a decade to make aint nothing to sneeze at. Aniki needs to stop taking in new orders to finish up on past orders. But thats not gonna happen. They are gonna keep taking peoples money and keep giving you a B.S. excuse or wont respond. Aniki will one day lose business if they keep on doing what they are doing but i doubt it.
Yes! So glad you didn't buy one. Dodged a serious money bullet there my friend!
I'm not surprised. They are based in Indonesia. I do E-commerce and have never received a legit order from Indonesia and I sell worldwide. Only scammers trying to purchase from me via stolen credit cards. My chargeback protection software picks up on their antics right away. I would go as far as say, don't do business with any company from Indonesia.
Yep. I’ve been waiting 4 and a half years mate. I feel you. I’ve spent $1350 USD and I’m still waiting. SCAM!!!
I’ve been waiting since 2017 for a Gold Zeo suit. They are thieves. Terrible, terrible people.
So sorry to hear that. Thanks for making this video sir.
Thanks man ☺️
If I had known so many people would watch it I would have probably put more effort into it 😅
for 4 years I waited for my kamen rider ouja cosplay and hadn't heard a update. when I got one it still in painting que
I commissioned a Kamen Rider Hibiki cosplay march 1st last year and still to this day haven't had any sort of update as to what's going on. They won't even respond to emails
wow. That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. I think someone else in the comments recommended them to me a while ago. I had a quick look into it but didn't want to throw more money at a product that might never come.
I ordered my suit in July 19 2018.... Still haven't received it yet..... Yes they are scammers
You are rather chill despite this being an angry vid, and I respect you for that. If only I had seen something like this before purchasing an Ultraman helmet. Nov 2017 and still, I NEVER GOT A DAMN THING FROM THEM!
Sorry. Anyway, well done Nick.
3 years?? Holy shit dude I would flip the f out you’ve shown more than enough patience!!!
Honestly bro it comes in waves. I go from being furious to being utterly defeated. They're in Indonesia I've done some research and they aren't governed by any laws that I can find here in Australia or online. PayPal has like a 6 month refund policy but obviously they've found a loophole around that by telling people that the suits take 6 months to make:
I have waiting for my costume about 4 years from aniki and now no reply since Jan at all !
@@limkearsiang5457 welcome to the club brother.
@@nickgordon1625 3 years too. I had no response to my emails until I said I was going to talk about them in my next video.
Someone literally got their suit in 5-6 years and it's absolutely ridiculous
Idk if anyone will read this, but my brother and I ordered an armored MMPR Red Ranger outfit and a Gold Zeo ranger suit. Didn't get it for 3 years and the only reason why we got our suits after so many excuses from them was because we issued a refund. Aniki saw it and magically our suits were on the way the next month. Issue the refund and see what happens. Worst case scenario, you get your money back or he'll actually send you the suit
Ordered a Green Ranger helmet two years ago. Have not received anything!! Scammers!!
I'm sure all the people that have been robbed will gravitate here and share their stories too, hopefully warn others.
Oh bro that's what I'm hoping.
I've watched the video back and I'm not super proud of the quality, I just vented for a few minutes and posted it. But hopefully it gets enough attention.
If I can stop even 1 person from buying from them it's a win for me. Legally I don't know how to touch them because they're overseas in a country that isn't going to care about power ranger suit scammers.
5 years since I ordered a helmet and STILL nothing...
I've been waiting for over 2 years! The amazing thing is that Jason David Frank made a video for them. I hope he doesn't know anything about this scam
I know right!?
I wonder how many people have flocked to their page and spent money on them because of his video.
I don’t think he knew they were screwing people over.. but they sent it to him because he’s and influencer who definitely would have gotten people to buy it.
I order 3 helmet from them at different times. I got 2 of them but the third one has been 3 years
I have ordered a Navy Thunder Cosplay it's been a year I have never received it
I ordered my Lord Drakkon helmet January 20th 2022. I payed $570. I received it April 7th. I've had 0 problems with them honestly. Idk which medium you used (I used etsy) but maybe that's the problem? Idk. Still sorry to see you go through that my dude.
What!?!? That’s crazy!? Definitely aniki!? Wow man that’s crazy!
I think the helmets alone don’t take long
It’s been five years for me. I barely got my tracking numbers for my order being shipped this week. I emailed them so may times. It’s crazy man.
Wait it’s actually being shipped!?
@@nickgordon1625 yes I already got it. It didn’t even fit lmao but it looks amazing though
Nearly ordered the Magna defender one 3k lol thanks bro
Still waiting on my order, it's been 2,149 days since I placed my order. Nothing but excuses and vague updates when I've emailed them to this day.
Over 5 years?! Oh,man... that's really bad! That's almost to being in limbo!
Have you got it yet :0
@@Hoacakes nope, still haven't received my costume and Aniki hasn't replied back to any of my email all this year
To Aniki Cosplay, please stop scamming AND
Stop taking more orders while the others are still waiting (will be deleted IF I RECEIVED MINE)
I emailed them when I uploaded this video and told them I would take it down if I ever got mine. But here I am still
@@nickgordon1625 they really wanted to be the world criminal maybe
@@MrIz-zc2gq hey man he deleted my account so I will never get my stuff. screenshot your order before your account gets deleted bud
@@hanzohasashi8687 done edy.. ready to ambush there
@@hanzohasashi8687 Woah! Didn't even know you had to create an account with them!
Any updates? My helmet took 1.5 years, so I was luckier. Still was very tight fit and had a few paint issues.
Yeah I bought a helmet in 2020 just a simple helmet that said it was ready to ship. And they won’t even reply to anything… but I made a fake account and asked them for pricing and timelines and they replied and sent me the PayPal or how to order. So they reply to that but not for current customers.
I have received my orders from them in the past. However I ordered a Samurai Pink Ranger cosplay back in April 2nd of 2018 and it is now June 24th 2021. 😥 Update it's now February 23rd and I still haven't received it.
I'm surprised you actually got something Alice. I think anything after a year is a lost cause.
Mine still hasn't arrived 😌
@@nickgordon1625 Yeah me too. Also sadly anything after a year or so seems a little hopeless unfortunately.
@@AliceMadness. with the stuff that you got. Did you pay the extra for express service?
@@nickgordon1625 No I didn't pay for the express service for any of the stuff that I did receive.
u can't get ur product if ur not jdf or have a big UA-cam channel. i only order mine cuz of jdf ads for them but still waiting on my drakkon helmet now 3yrs
Unless you spend a lot of cash they will keep you waiting
Can we start a class action suit?!
Thankfully there are TONS of better cosplay makers (with the only downside being that you need to buy stuff separately and costs more than a aniki suit) BUT you’re gonna get your suit in less time as well.
The only time I’ve really seen people happy with an aniki order is when customers use their Etsy
They messaged me and told me they prioritize those orders because you pay more
@@Frostb1te1995 and also because the site will get onto aniki s case if they do not fulfil the order.
@@JayGo1411 makes sense I’m probably going to go through jtokucostumes
@Joshua Bowman jtoku screwed me and a friend. They got the measurements wrong and then wanted to charge me 900 to fix it
They just don't answer my emails anymore :/
I think they've blocked me on their Facebook page or something because I can't comment or react to anything either. I feel you
I understand I've been waiting 3 to 4 years for mine

I myself am very disappointed with Aniki,, I ordered the 95’ WhiteRanger movie cosplay & the shield that’s clearly advertised as a one piece was sent in three damn pieces & on top of that I didn’t receive my belly armor!! Seriously Aniki wtf? So my review is still on hold because of Aniki! $2k and I got a broken heart out of it instead of a childhood smile..
Oh bro.. my heart breaks for you too.. that's all I wanted 😔😔
I still don’t feel like I was scammed tho, just let down over a simple mistake that can hopefully be corrected. I would totally still buy again and I do highly still recommend them so let’s just clear the air on my part so you and the people don’t get it the wrong way..
@@madaxx1685 I think I'm just surprised you got anything at all.
That's a miracle in itself
2,000 dollars?! Wow... That's brutal.
Thank god i didnt order, i was actually about buying a suit!
3 years I have been waiting no reply since may last year
Waiting 4 years as well, paid in full and they not even responding anymore
I’ve been waiting for my mighty Morphin Power Rangers Arman red ranger since August. 2017. and I have the same problem you have. The strange thing is he started to that you could purgers his Power Ranger costumes on Etsy. Because their rules on Etsy that he hast to follow
i get my ranger stuff from Kamen rider Nimoy
my friends get their helmets from there. I am gonna get from there. Half the price for their helmet and quicker.
Man this is annoying to hear. I just want a freaking Black Mighty Morphin Helmet and I heard Aniki was the best for the job.
I can give you the all inside debate about Aniki. I used to work for Aniki back when he started making helmets. I was PR for him answering messages for most of the US based orders. Back then he had a small staff not like today. One thing you have to know is if your ordering from him it can take months even years to get anything. He's got work and home to deal with, plus he's always behind on orders that will never change. Don't forget he also makes stuff for Hasbro for the power ranger series so there is that too. So I left because I got sick of so many messages on where there stuff was, sometimes it be 3 months and people where asking, others would post pictures of an Aniki cosplay they got sooner then later then others ask why did they get an order so fast but mine isn't here yet. You all get put into a list and when that list is full he ships out all the orders, have you not seen the massive boxes he posts on his page?, also look at where he is, there shipping places suck. But yes there are now more people making stuff an more outlets to choose from. But Aniki being a scammer is far from the truth, if he was a scammer no one would get anything they ordered he'd just keep the money and send nothing. When you ask the Ranger Fan base they will tell you that you will have to wait when it comes from him, but it seems no one heeds the warning.
I've gown onto third party places for suits and making my own 3d printed helmets. If you want this quality of Aniki you will have to wait.
If people are going to wait longer than the advertised waiting time, then perhaps the business should change their advertised waiting time for clarity (and to avoid potential class-action lawsuits) But that isn't what happened. Absolutely nothing JUSTIFIES making customers wait 3+ years, especially when their website advertises an average turnaround time of less than a year. The average wait time in reality is extremely longer than 6 months. This is a problem of Aniki Cosplay's incompetence in running a business. If someone does a terrible job at a service, they're going to be held accountable and people are absolutely in the right to complain about it. Work & personal life balance is a responsibility on their end, not the customers. If they can't maintain a healthy balance of work and life, then maybe they shouldn't be running this business to begin with. It's a shady business and they are in fact scammers to the extent that this constitutes as false advertising of their services.
@@RTangerine
I would agree with you. But if you known Aniki as long as I have he doesn't follow the 6 months to a year plain. I assume your new to buying from him. I would've asked the community before making that informed discussion. If you where told before hand about him being so late maybe it could've saved you money. I would just get my money back an move on to other makers.
I have been waiting since 2017 shut the fuck up saying ‘he’s not a scammer’
Power Ranger costumes that power and defense purchased. before you got a new building or a new workspace. as I understand he’s not even cared about those at all. so I wouldn’t suggest it but if you order a suit from him on Etsy he is forced to deliver the suit because bad review there on Etsy or he doesn’t deliver what you paid for he loses the right to be on Etsy.That would suggest not trust him at all
Waited for 4 years already with a rush fee lol
Fuckin thieves
@@nickgordon1625 YES, I'm pissed off!!!! But seems there's no way to get them.
any updates on your costume?
Still never arrived bro.
I what’s that now like 6? 7 years?
They won’t respond to any emails or messages I send them
@@nickgordon1625 im very sorry that happened to you i been really looking at all the reviews about Aniki because the reviews are mixed so i just feel like flying out there and seeing for myself but it wont happen because flight is expensive i wonder where else i can get power rangers costume
@@Doglover8891 if you find a place, let me know. But I’ll respond to messages on here when I can to people. Hopefully people know I’m a real human and a huge fan like the rest of you. I just got screwed like a lot of people that ordered from them.
Totally scammers. Scammed me 5 years ago
It’s so strange how some people are receiving their orders but others aren’t. Like I’ve ordered about 14-15 helmets in total from Aniki over the past few years now and I’ve received them all.. Guess I’m one of the lucky ones. They really do need to stop taking orders and finish all the current ones though, it’s getting a little bit ridiculous now..
That’s crazy hey,.
It’s been over 4 years now 🙁
@@nickgordon1625 Any update yet bro ? I just received some messages that looks really legit after our last exchange that was in august 2020 !! So i'm more than happy they're showing to willing to take resonsponsibilities about my order taken by in 2018 XD I keep my fingers crossed and wait for updates as always ... but they seem on a hurge with my order and seem to want to make it fast and asking me to remeasure etc. with the measurment chart.... Sooooo i guess it's finally getting to an end .........UFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
4 years
Yup. Bro I'm at 5 now.
Absolutely heartbroken 😌💔
Im waiting since Febr.2019 for 2 Helmets....everytime when i ask for it they send me the same answer. The last one was from last year:
"We sincerely apologize for all the inconvenience because of the long wait.
We just checked on the team again regarding your helmets and for today both of the helmets are in the queue in the painting department.
We really sorry that we can't provide you much update if yours are still in the queue. But considering the queue situation, your helmets will be in the next painting schedule by the end of November or in early December.
Rest assured, once we got further update from the team we will get back to you again with the progress picture. Thank you"
They change my Order Number that i had on the old Homepage from Aniki and than the Status to "complete".
I will never see for what i have paid for.
Im reeeeealy angry!!!
My Gold beast morpher helmet was finished in 5 months ordered it 5 months ago of course I paid to the express service 6 months ago I ordered a white Dino thunder helmet that they have yet to start it’s obvious that express services is worth it and I’m definitely going to message them and ask if i can pay for express services on my other helmet
Some punctuation would help out mate
How much is the express service cost
@@Faded5144 150 I’ve spent at least 1000 dollars for only 2 helmets I should be getting my second helmet next week as they took so long I paid for the express and they promised it would be done in 2 weeks
@@ericgarcia5400 okay thanks
Did you get the 2nd one yet
Bought a helmet last week it shipped yesterday tracking and everything arrives Tuesday 👀
Hey nick been waiting for my stuff since 2016 and he now deleted my account. so now I can never get my stuff, total scammer bud
Thanks again for the backup.
We are not alone!
They not scammers you not see the other videos they got their suits
They will send suits out to influencers like JDF and other big names so that they still get a lot of orders.
They may not have scammed everyone.. but they definitely have scammed a lot of people.
@@nickgordon1625 ok
Some people got their suits so Aniki aren’t scammers? No, MANY including me haven’t got shit.
Bullshit! All the costumes from aniki are handmade from the suits to the helmits and this guy produces nothing but top notch quality power rangers suits any ranger you can think of from all the supplies he has to buy and time he spends making costumes witch can take at most 2 months witch is understandable because like I said every costume is handmade and like I said earlier everything this guy makes is tip of the iceberg quality it is that good so if you don't like power rangers and your not patient I suggest you piss off and try not to dis this guy
But upset there mate? Well like I said in the video I have been patient. You say it can take at most 2 months.. but why have I been waiting over 4 years? Why have so many other people in the comments waited years and years?
They're full of shit mate. They're taking people's money and running.
@@nickgordon1625 well I got something to tell you I am a great customer of their service they never disappoint the only time I had to wait for a response was when I was buying like 4 costumes from them and they where calculating the price and FYI that only took two days
@@gazerxavier5430 You can say whatever you want and try to defend them all you like. There's a reason this video is now at 1200 views with dozens of comments from angry customers saying they've been ripped off and have waited for years and years for something that has never shown up.
If they actually sent out my suit then I might even take the video down.. but until that day comes, I'm keeping the video up. Good luck out there mate and congrats on being one of the few people who have actually received something from them.
