About Me

Actor/Video Editor/Producer I deal with a lot of fake people in my lines of work. I've watched scams unfold, deals made and broken, money laundered, (etc.) I'll say one thing about all that experience: I hate being lied to. Poorly, I'll add. If you're going to scam someone, at least know what you're doing and not seem obvious. I think this site is more helpful than it appears to be, personally.

How I Can Help

If there's one thing I know about my people (and yes, stereotypes about cheap Chinese output exist for a REASON,) is that ANY COSPLAY type sites and dealers that ship from overseas are generally all bull$#*!. Where I come from, that sort of false advertising business malpractice is ENCOURAGED for the better of the economy. It's supremely helpful to learn how to make your own outfits. That way you'll have full control on where your money goes and who's responsible for the outcome.

Normally, a whole salad would touch the lid. I ordered four salads, and every single one of them were roughly half full, at best. I had to do a double take to even notice the lettuce, at all. ALL of them were like this, and when I called the location, they replied with "Our portions are company policy." What a bunch of shysters. Location at ******* William P Rosso Hwy, Clinton Twp, MI ******* is the worst.

Tip for consumers:
Eat somewhere else.

Products used:
Asian Sesame Salad with Chicken, Strawberry Poppyseed & Chicken Salad, Greek Salad, Caesar Salad with Chicken

Which is absolutely none. After the first dumpster fire of an ordeal I had with this ShopBedding sham, I decided, against my better judgment, to give it a second attempt for the benefit of the doubt. Customer service had "guaranteed" a better experience after I regaled them with the last time I waited 4 years and several promised refunds for an order AND a replacement order that NEVER CAME.

I'd obviously give zero stars if remotely possible.

Tip for consumers:
As I've said previously, you're STILL better off spending your money betting on illegal dog fights or underground toddler boxing; at least then you have a chance to see a return on your investments.

I decided against my better judgment to give this "business" the benefit of the doubt, and ordered their Enchanted Forest Wood Resin Necklace and the "Clouds" Wood Resin Necklace.

I have not received these products, and the customer service is quite abysmal, to say the least. If this company was literally comprised of a room of several hipsters too strung out on LSD to run the business, I'd be less than shocked. Unfortunately, the waiting on customer support response has extended beyond the 30-day period I had to even file for refund.

Tip for consumers:
Probably don't, if you value your time and/or money.

Jason O. – Pioneer Revival Rep

Hello Kwon,
My deepest apologies for this. I have spoken to my customer service team and we will be making sure much more care and attention goes into each customer inquiry.
Wthis past season we have also experienced some shipping issues due to the unpredictable weather this season. This is no excuse for us so we will be refunding anybody affected by the shipping issues.

Please email me personally at Pioneer.revival@gmail.com and I will compensate you for the poor service.

I make it a point to give a business the benefit of the doubt until I personally inspect and evaluate an item I've purchased from said company.

It really DOESN'T get much worse than this place. I'm almost convinced that every cosplay site in China is just linked to every other one in some giant factory. And the actual truth to the matter is that over in Asia, gold farming in online games, cheap sales scams, and mass cosplay sites over there are literally the equivalent to an American working at McDonald's. It's how they pay for college sometimes, as well. OTHER countries may see it as stealing money and false advertising, but to them? It's just another day cheating out stupid people.

The wigs, accessories, costumes, (etc.) All the quality equal to a homeless man's shirt. I cannot find a single redeeming aspect to this dealer.

Slightly better product quality than MOST other places I've tried ordering from, but being 2% above the majority doesn't mean it's worth dealing with at all.

Unfortunately, with the incredibly high demand for cosplay outfits and accessories, it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to take individual care and quality inspection into consideration for every single costume. People have to realize that their business is NOT "special" or "more valuable" than the next customer to these dealers. I'm sorry to say that what you see is most certainly NOT what you get these days...

Unfortunately, this is just another site all about mass production in place of care and quality. I'm almost ashamed to be Asian, knowing that in my home countries this sort of business practice is ENCOURAGED for the better of the economy.

Don't tell me I'm going to receive one thing, show me photos of how spectacular it's going to be, and then send me some 3rd-rate craftsmanship that you're trying to pass off as credible. I actually BURNED the outfit I purchased from this website, knowing full well that the world was a better place without that trashy excuse for handiwork staining this Earth.

Unfortunately, my experiences with CosplayMagic have yielded exceedingly poor fabric choice and lackluster quality in both appearance and longevity. However, while not necessarily true, many con fans will point out the differences between costumes and cosplay when it comes to the quality and authenticity of their outfits. And this site is sadly just another one of those cheap shops that mass produce junk.

At least from my previous encounters with them, their Jin Kazama and Jin (Samurai Champloo) outfits were atrocious. I actually burned them, knowing that the world's better off with those two pieces of work flamed from existence. Lessons learned, people.
