Ginger Kitty Cosplay

Guys. Please. If you are a cosplayer, or know someone who is, or wants to buy a costume or even be a cosplay model. Please, DO NOT SUPPORT SUPERHEROES UNLIMITED. Having ‘worked’ as a cosplay model for them at Katsucon, I don’t even know where to begin on why this is a terrible company. The owner of this business has no idea how to treat cosplay models. He doesn’t respect the cosplay community, and half of the costumes he sells (the zentai suits) as ‘custom costumes’ come from other companies, like zentai-zentai or zentaizone, and are being sold at double the price. or more. Example, a Nightwing zentai suit, which typically goes for $45-50 online, SHU is selling for $120. Models are not paid money. Me and a couple other girls were his models for Katsucon, and we were ‘paid’ buy the owner covering con expenses, which really he only covered the hotel room, and badges for us for the dealers room, where he was selling. He did not compensate us for travel or anything else, as he said he would. 

He did not respect us as human beings at the convention. We would stand around at the booth for hours in heels, and were expected to upsell his incredibly expensive items and low quality costumes to get people to purchase something. When I sat down to eat my first meal of the day around 2pm-3pm, he interrupted me in the middle of eating to tell us to go stand outside the booth to try to draw people in. 

We had posted some photos of us in company costumes, usually giving credits, and after we quit as models IMMEDIATELY after Katsucon (like Sunday night/Monday morning), and he told us we were not allowed to post photos of his costumes to our pages because he did not want us gaining followers because of his property (which, most of us models had more followers than the company, we brought traffic to SHU). He even threaten to take us to court or send the police after us over the posting of photos. One girl felt so threatened that she got an attorney for fear that he would take legal action. 

I made accessories for the cosplays we wore to Katsucon. After quitting and after he posted the cosplays on his etsy, I noticed in the description that they included the accessories I made, which went home with him after the con. So I politely emailed him asking to be paid for them if he was going to use them. He used the bull shittiest back-handed excuses why he wasnt going to use them, and said he would mail them back to me, “We will also be sending as a courtesy a piece of worbla roughly equal to the size of the tiaras.” this is the piece he gave me.

Really? That’s fucking it?

I gave him my address, minus my apartment number, He didn’t need to know that, and so long as my name is on mail, it will still be put in my mail box/set outside my door b/c there are lists with last names next to the apartment numbers, for just such instances.

So I watch the tracking… and the package goes to A DIFFERENT STATE. >_> wut? So then it comes back to Jersey, goes to the post office and it out for delivery about a week later. Then is was marked ‘undeliverable as addressed’ because of an ‘insufficient address’. Ok so maybe the dumbass put the facebook spelling of my last name (which is not the legal spelling) Tracking doesnt update for a week. Then it heads off to Another different state. So after about 2 weeks after he’s shipped it, it comes back to Jersey again. I can finally leave delivery instructions to get it rerouted to me.

My package finally gets to me, and THERE WAS NO LAST NAME ON THE PACKAGE. AND MY FIRST NAME IS SPELLED WRONG. He knew my name. We were friends on Facebook and he would tag me often in discussions. My actual name is on my email that I was using to communicate with him could have takeSerious, who fucking mails something to someone, especially when you KNOW the person lives in an apartment building and you don’t have their apartment number, WITH OUT A FUCKING LAST NAME ON THE PACKAGE.

So recently he was placed under arrest, reason could be for striking a woman/one of his landlord, but that could be inaccurate/false. I am pretty sure he had a shitty deal going down with his landlords and it escalated and cops were called and he was brought in. Here is his mugshot:  http://mugshots.com/US-Counties/New-Jersey/Essex-County-NJ/Derrick-T-Nova.151410770.html

In addition to that, they are posting some reaallllyyyy passive aggressive and back-handed comments about a cosplayer/alt model (that I know personally) because her Instagram accounts keep getting deleted/banned. (Their shitty posts can be found here https://www.facebook.com/SuperHerosUnlimited/photos/a.713849708676832.1073741839.685744401487363/1466396696755459/?type=3&theater and here https://www.instagram.com/p/BTCPjbzFnJE/?taken-by=superheroesunlimited The comments are interesting)
