Aniki Cosplay Armored Mighty Morphin Red Ranger Unboxing!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- I didn't think it would happen, but it did. On November 8th, 2017, I ordered a Mighty Morphin Red Ranger cosplay suit (both the "Armored" version and the regular) from Aniki Cosplay. After 5 years of broken promises and being ghosted on multiple platforms, I was rightfully upset and made a video sharing my experience: • Ordered Aniki Cosplay ... . A few months go by and out of the blue with no prior contact, I get an email stating my suit is ready. And so miraculously, on December 28th, 2022, I received my suit.
First impressions of the suit are in this video, and to summarize... it looks amazing. And surprisingly, it all still fit, which I was worried about after 5 years. Only big immediate downsides are the incredibly poor visibility from the helmet and that I can't properly attach the velcro on the back of the dragon shield by myself. Plus, I wanted to sometimes wear the cosplay as just the regular MMPR Red but there's a velcro piece on the front of the suit for the dragon shield. It is white so it somewhat blends in, but also can be pretty noticeable which is a bummer.
Overall, while the quality of the suit is fantastic, I cannot recommend Aniki Cosplay due to the 5 year long wait that I had. That is just unacceptable and there is no excuse for that. I hear they supposedly fulfill their new Etsy orders on time, but I don't personally have any experience with that and so I urge people to proceed with caution. Leaving all of their earlier customers in the dust is not good business practice, and I can't in good faith recommend them.

So who is here from the Sad Boyz Brian David Gilbert episode?
Hey also, man you look amazing. 5 years sucks but honestly it looks great and is super cool. The helmet difficulties sounds kind of rough but I’m really glad you finally got your order. You totally look like you popped right out of the show.
same..i needed to know what they were talking about lol
*raises hand*
The most common way of doing that was with the first person you have a problem and the first thing that comes up with you when they say that you’re a problem 😢😢😢😢😮😅😢😅😢😅
here from sad boyz! Sorry about all the trouble you went through, great video still!
Welcome! And thanks!
@@TheWorldofHAplay with the boys in a game and they can be a good boy 🧒 for me I have to get
Came from your comment on the Sad Boyz BDG video. Suit looks awesome! I had a smile on my face the whole time watching you pose in it! Shame about the visibility and the Velcro though.
I honestly didn’t notice the Velcro patch until you pointed it out. So don’t worry too much - you can still dress up as regular red Ranger
I noticed a slight line. I didn't know what it was at first
Came here after the shout out from The Sad Boyz podcast! You rock the suit, man! 🙌
Porw rangers ❤
5 years is unacceptable. You're a patient man, sir.
Not to hone in or anything but I think that 46-minute video he made calling them out might've been a factor. I could be wrong and frankly I hope I am but I think the only reason they fulfilled his order is because they saw he made that video.
@hiltonlive32grnrngr so if I made a video I would get my suit faster?
@@torinodeguzman4243 Actually from what I'm hearing from past clients, your best bet if you're going to order from Aniki is to order via their Etsy page, so you won't have to make a video. People who order via their Etsy shop seem to be getting their stuff on time or in a reasonable turnaround time vs people ordering from Aniki directly and people waiting unreasonably long periods of time for their orders assuming they ever get their stuff at all. I never ordered from Aniki (and don't think i ever will) but i think ordering via Etsy is more effective than making a video.
@@torinodeguzman4243 Did you order from Aniki?
Here from the sad Boyz pod
I am jealous of Your patience to wait for this after 5 years
That is an absurd amount of time
Glad after 5 years you finally got your suit, It looks totally awesome.
Yes it finally arrived! Congratulations Hassan. The suit looks great especially the dragon shield. Your son is going to be the coolest kid At costume parties now.
That's a sick suit but I'd be beyond pissed waiting 5 years
So happy for you Hassan the suit looks great and you look great in it. Glad your kids enjoyed it as much you did.
Here from Sad Boyz BDG. Awesome vid, my dude
Omg was so excited to watch once I saw the thumbnail! I know how long you’ve been waiting for this Hassan! So happy that it FINALLY came in
As nice as their stuff is, I would NEVER order from Aniki Cosplay because so many people have never received theirs. I could never trust a company with a reputation that bad.
Well now they have gotten a lot better and are considered the official power rangers cosplay website
Been 6 years and I’m out my green ranger cosplay. Still no response, no emails nothing. I gave up with them. Atlease u got urs.
No refund
Did you talk to Etsy?
Did you order through etsy or directly?
@@NotMtxx directly
@@tcgexchange5675 Yeah, you gotta order via Etsy. I never ordered from Aniki but from what I hear if your order via Etsy the turnaround time is as fast as it should be. If you order from Aniki directly the turnaround time could be 5-10 years if ever. Sorry you didn't get your suit. If it's any consolation though Hassan probably thought he'd never get his suit so you never know. Hope you get yours or your money back.
I truly think that after 5 YEARS! they needed to refund you at least 50% or packaged some EXTRA goodies along with the shipment.
Or at the very least, acknowledge how ridiculous the wait time was. After 5+ years, you're definitely getting into the territory of legal action, right?
About to reach my 5 year mark waiting on my Zeo Gold so I am happy that you got your cosplay my dude.
here from sad boyz with the other hasan loloool
Round of applause for the most patient human on earth!
from sad boyz, sorry hear that you cant see or breath trough the mask but honestly. the suit looks 10/10, extremely epic thoe!
Looks great! Happy to hear that you received your order. Been waiting since June 2018, so I hope I get my order in the next few years.
Y’all are absolutely insane 😭😭😭 I’m not waiting any longer than maybe 5-6 months! 😭 there’s zero reason for it to take that long
heard about this from the sad boyz pod and it's as good as I thought it would be! very sad that it took so long though
Its crazy you finally got it! The costume fits and looks amazing my man
Also here from Sad Boyz
Congrats man l, I'm glad you finally got it. I watched this whole story from the beginning!!! Looks really good though!!! Helmet looks really good as well!!!
Same story here. Ordered a single helmet roughly 3 years and 8 months ago. Posted a full story video here on youtube and tiktok to steer people away from them. I sent them the video (I'll admit, very much out of spite) and to let them know I fully intended to to make sure everyone was aware of their poor customer service. Lone behold, all of a sudden, my helmet was ready to ship about 2 weeks later. I got a tracking number and should have the helmet and an update video posted soon :/
Did you get it yet?
Did you receive your helmet yet? I wanna buy one from them, but I'm too afraid too.
@@Vader1985 dont do it
@iproducerhythm I didn't, luckily. I went ahead and got one from Wildranger5. His helmets are screencasts, and he actually gets your order out to you with no worries.
@@Vader1985if you’re gonna buy from them make sure it’s through Etsy, I was also hesitant bc of all the horror stories but I order a helmet that was on sale and got it within 3 months
Here from sadboys, much love brother!
This is badass, dude. Sorry for your shitty customer service experience, that’s terrible-but you rock the suit ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Who else is here from the sad boys nights pod 💀
I wonder if you cant get a few adjustments on this suit? Maybe the visor could get replaced with something a little bit higher quality so you can see better. That way you can go show it off without falling over :). Although it might just be a VERY accurate recreation of the costume, I bet the power rangers actors were NOT having a fun time in those suits lol, but I'm sure someone could help modify it a little for you
Thats a sick suit, sorry to hear the bs you had to go through. Looks cool dude
Saw you wearing it at Fairfax meeting Hawkgirl voice actress while I was about to meet George Newbern. Wish I met you. I'm a big fan, watching you since 2015. I was stunned and shocked when I saw you there today
Oh yes! I was there for like an hour or so this morning. My first time cosplaying at a convention. Would have loved to say hi! Maybe next time? I usually check out these local cons. Hope you had a great time!
Here from sad boyz
Just wanted to chime in an say I've ordered 3 helmets from Aniki - two on Etsy and one through their website. All helmets arrived, the one through their website (Red) took a little over a year. Green helmet was just two months, and white took 4 months. Overall really psyched and happy with them. Glad to answer questions or send photos to anyone who needs reassurance before ordering. I know when I was debating ordering I wished I had someone to chat about the process with. Hassan, your helmet looks great! I'd be a bit more careful with the top if it though!! The way you're opening it in this video was so scary to watch for me haha, they are a bit delicate. Have a few chips on the top of mine from not being so careful at first, I'm sure you've learned by now :). To their credit, Aniki sent along some red touch up paint when I ordered the green one! Free of charge. I think they are trying to do good by their customers, and maybe just get overwhelmed sometimes. Still, 5 years is CRAZY and inexcusable. I think they recently staffed up and had a change in management. For whatever that's worth!
Your entire suit is fantastic. That dragon shield is 100 times better than the one in the US footage from the 90s. I think JDF used to call it the pillow.
Did you have poor visibility with your other helmets from them?
Aniki gets no credit at all. Buddy been scamming people for years. Not sending orders and not replying to emails. He deleted all of the negative comments off of facebook until he eventually stop posting on it. At one point he blamed his staff and things still didnt get better
Thank you for making this video. Can’t wait for more. Really great info in the video. Ty again
So glad it finally came. Etsy does seem to be the safe way to order now! Your red costume looks amazing very screen accurate!
I've ordered 2 Star Wars items off Etsy, one came the other day and I love it...the other will be here in 2 days
Just stumbled onto this video out of nowhere so I clicked to watch. I'm very glad you got your order especially after 5 years I mean WTF For Real! Also I see that even with every guys curse of "Dad Bod", that you pulled this off really well. Did you have to hold in your stomach or anything to be able to get in this suit or did it fit you so well like the video shows? Also you could so do b'day parties with your suit. I haven't been into power rangers since the green Power Ranger lost his powers while being imprisoned and that magical candle sapped his power away. Yes I loved the White power ranger but seriously I wish they had kept him as the original green PR! And lastly let me say this, It's absolutely awesome to see another grown man enjoy something so much from his childhood like you seem to. Tyvm for making a video about this it was well worth the time watching it. Be Well My Friend!
by the way .its the box likes a name cigarette from my country ..sempoerna mild ..
Dam. Glad you got it. Over 5 years for me with multiple attempts contacting them and no response. Still no sight.
Great video brother. Very informative. Shame about the 5 year wait but glad you finally got it. Surprised how well you mic picked up you talking with the helmet on. Never realised until you said and I looked it up but the morphed is indeed supposed to be good with the tyrannosaurs power coin
Bro, this has to be the coolest Red Ranger costume ever! You legit look like Jason in there
POV: you are here after Jarvis mentioned this video
A cosplay experience five years in the making. But LOL I find it kind of interesting how they got on their logo on that bag thing, that slogan that says "we create dreams". More like "we create nightmares, making people wait half a decade for suits people pay us their hard-earned money for and scam people with empty promises and whatnot."
I was just thinking about that motto too!
"We Create Dreams"
Cause you're dreaming if you think you're ever getting your suit.
You are finally the middle aged red ranger
Congrats
Finally.. it has arrived. So happy for you.
I am so happy that you finally got your cosplay suit
Man even if it's a kind of small and hard to see but man it looks so freaking good !
Awesome video! It looks really good, it's a shame you had to contact them so often and had to wait five years in order to get it though.
I have 3 full costumes and a 4th on the way and I believe 4 helmets all purchased through Etsy. All arrived in time, you can see my reviews on Etsy, I did have a similar issue with a 2017 order never turning up but they sorted that out for me. The company from my knowledge is managed by different people now.
it looks incredibly better than in the show
Morphinomenal! Really good design and detail.
wow! Hassan, that is amazing and totally looking crazy!
Yes! I am very excited that the shield is hard foam/plastic and not the nonsence props of the show
Hell yeah dude you finally got it! You look great
Awesome cosplay! It sucks that it took so long to arrive, but the power sword has been brung.
Waiting five years has also aged you red ranger!
You can almost pull it off. Just gotta slim up a little bit, but definitely better than the other people who try. Looks authentic even without the dragon shield. Dope!
The dragon shield is more original than the original tv series that JDF use. ha!
I have never seen an episode of Power Rangers before, but this looks amazing! I'm sorry this took 5 years to get to you but you look really cool with it! love from the sad boyz podcast
Looks spot on! Awesome! Even looks like the same body type!
Jeez 5 years later you finally got the suit, I think I remember you talking about you finally ordered a suit during a Live Stream
Oh yea I definitely talked about it a lot when I ordered it because I had lots of ideas for making content wearing this suit out in public. 5 years later, I have a kid now and life is so much busier... I'll try to still make some content with it, but not going to be as easy.
Thanks for sharing! It gives me a bit of hope that my Green Ranger outfit will come. My order was placed with Aniki about 5 years ago.
Sweet costume bro ! It looks very nice . I love the helmet .
NERRD. I love you. This is why I married you.
I’m gonna go watch ANIME like a COOL person.
Have you tried using the Lightning helmet with the suit? If you are having trouble with the helmet it maybe more worth while to use the other helmet if it's messing with your breathing. As well it can really show how the official helmet looks alongside a non official suit.
I was thinking that too
I did have that thought but haven’t tried it yet. It’s worth a shot so I’ll try that next time.
All helmets are replica, if we are speaking about "official" we will need to refer to Super Sentai since it's the origin of everything, now Aniki was officialized by Saban back in 2017 as far as we know, but that doesn't takes the fact that they are not in the US or Japan and they failed to deliver the requests on time.
I will defintely not recommed to purchase anything from Aniki.
With how dark the visor is, you could use it for the next solar eclipse.
wow amazing. well except for the eternal wait. you are a patient man. good on you. It is beautiful.
Honestly I didn't even notice the velcro for the dragon shield until you said something.
I order my MMPR Blue Ranger about year and 3 month ago and Aniki Cosplay don't respond me anymore so i think i will wait same 5 years as you :) This company has terrible costumer service :(
You know you probably could have gotten the same outfit from ebay probably cheaper and wouldn't have to wait for that long
2:23 It was an instance of PR damage control.
9:48 Now that you mentioned it, I would think so. You basically received a Dragon Ranger Belt.
10:41 Why would they draw the lines on?
11:22 What kind of material is that?
23:53 You can't see with the helmet on? Wow. That's a hazard waiting to happen. You are better off with the Lighting Collection helmet then.
24:48 Yeah... that's pretty dark!
27:26 It goes over the chin.
30:29 I wasn't going to mention it, but it was some what of a complaint to some people. There has to be some sort of way to actually attach the item to the suit with out the use of velcro.
31:27 It is pretty rigid. I think that on the show, in both Zyuranger and Mighty Morphin, the Dragon Shield is more flexible.
Since 2019, I've devoted many hours trying to replicate the process of making a suit on my own because I didn't want to be another number to Aniki Cosplay's record. I will say that the team does great work when it comes through with its orders. However, in an effort to combat the issue with breathing when wearing the helmet, the actual process of making the helmets needs to be reworked. Here's what I have found out on my research. With the Mighty Morphin/Zyuranger design, Aniki's team went by the idea when it was first displayed on the Power Transfer arc when Adam, Rocky, and Aisha became the new members of the Power Rangers. If you go back and pause the video at the moment where the trio looks at Zordon as he welcomes them, you can see the holes in the helmet even for a brief moment as the camera pans in the close up shot.
On the Japanese Super Sentai show, Zyuranger, the holes are not on the actual helmet itself, but on the visors on the helmet, it's tiny and you really can't see it unless you really look at the helmet in certain shots. The design makes up for that buy adding a row of 10 holes on both the top and bottom parts, on the side of the visors to increase breath ability.
Now, when it comes to the helmet fogging up, I conducted an experiment on why it happened. It all boils down to circulation. When you exhale, breaths come out at body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. However the visor is a lot cooler than that when the water vapor hits the visor. That causes condensation as they collectively gather on the surface. With the helmet at that size, the average user can only wear the helmet is 5 minutes because the oxygen is actually being replaced by the carbon dioxide gathering inside the helmet. In order to combat that, you will need to invest in a helmet fan with a high R.P.M. to vent the air out. The second method is to buy an anti-fog product and apply it to the inside of the helmet to cut down the condensation problem.
These are the ways patrons that bought his helmets combat the issue with visibility and breathing issues.
One more thing. When it comes to wearing a body fitting suit, wear a dance belt. A full seated one if you can find one.
Thanks for your insight. I don’t really have a fogging problem, or at least I can’t tell because I just can’t see out of the visor to begin with that well. Don’t think there’s much I can do about it unfortunately. And I did get a dance belt. I was wearing it under my suit in this video, I just forgot to mention that.
Looks like the morphinominal time for a holiday arrival.
Didn’t notice the chest diamond Velcro also I think it’s super cool brother have fun
The suit looks fantastic, Hassan! But yeah, the trouble you had to go through was not OK. Was "Keenan Horne" still written on the bag for your Dragon Shield? lol. It's a good thing you have those Legacy props. I'm sure they work much nicer that what Aniki might have had available to offer.
I'm glad you're happy overall and that your son enjoyed the suit too. Have a Happy New Year!
Haha no it actually had my name which I admit I was a bit surprised by. And thanks Rob! Happy New Year!
i just ordered the mighty morphine green ranger helmet on their etsy page its says supose to be arriving in march so we'll see
From what I remember the Red Rangers Morpher and coin do not change when he uses the dagger and shield from the Green Ranger. Pretty sure it stays silver. Gotta say that Dragon shield is pretty nice looking though.
If Jason calls on the Dragon power the morpher turns gold (coin doesn’t change).
If Tommy just lends him the shield Jason’s morpher stays silver.
You're a legend, mate. And that zip up is fully sick
I know you could not see but you looked awesome!
The shield and dragonzord are connected to the dragon coin.
I also use my tommy morpher and put my tyrano coin in it for my armored cosplay!
5 years? That sucks man. But you look awesome. Looking for one also
You look INCREDIBLE 🎉
You should get the 1 way mirror finished helmet, or 1 way tinted.... I don't know how it works... but it is black on one side but fully visible on the other.
Yep thats my why I never tried I always worried I never actually get the suit bought a 3D printer and learned foam craft so I can just make my own
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!
NO FREAKIN WAY. You got it!!
Yes the armor red ranger will need the gold buckle for the T-Rex coin alright' they never showed the change in the show except in the japanese version but that's exactly what it needs' if you can have aniki to make you another belt with the gold morpher and t-rex coin, you'll be fully complete with the red armor ranger' I hope you'll give that another try one day and you may want to think about getting another red ranger suit. Just a spare suit you'll need' you got everything else you need for it' Good luck!
Omg it actually came.
looks amazing... bu 5 years ohh helll nah. Thanks for sharing your video
Bro that looks awesome
You waited a Red Ranger costume since 2017? That was the year I was considered a lolcow by my classes for being far too obsessed with the MCU!
Are you planning on getting any more helmets or suits in the future?
No, this is all I need.
Amazing suit. You could make your own lens. And I like the Japanese sentai dragon shield better. The American one was just very cheap.
I’m so jealous right now!
Armored Red Ranger would have the Dragon coin. Burai and Geki’s powers were once one. Burai’s death restored the original power.
My first reaction was wow…how wide is that hallway? 😂😂 Second was nice one man, the suit looks incredible.
I recently bought a helmet from Aniki via Etsy. Wanted to order for years but never felt comfortable doing so because of stories like yours. I feel confident I’ll get my money back from Etsy though if it doesn’t show as intended.
Amazing Hassan
Nice knife! I got the same one from my wife as a gift this year :)
Looks great looks dead on pretty cool
I dont know if you will answer my question, but how do you clean your suit? Do you use detergent, hand wash?
