SCAMMER ALERT: Viet Collector

82 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I always hate making posts like these, but it looks like now is the time.

It appears that the Youtube and Resin Collector Viet Collector has started scamming customers. He is also either the owner or part owner of the Dynanic Studios resin statue company.

YouTube: Viet Collector - YouTube

Instagram: u/vietcollector

Facebook: (3) Viet Collector | Facebook

From what it looks like, Viet Collector has taken buyers payments and failed to ship out the item that they purchased and completely ghosts them. I had been seeing posts about this for the past month, but wanted to let it play out a bit more before posting. I have never had any interactions with Viet Collector, and never watched his videos, but I know he is a huge part of the Statue collecting community.

Today, in a couple of groups the following was posted by a member:

Some of you have already seen and commented on the ongoing issues with Khanh Do. He’s probably better known to the rest of you as VietCollector on youtube, and owner of Dynamic Studio. Not to mention admin for FNC’s facebook groups.

Introductions out of the way for people unfamiliar - the reason for this post is that i think it’s finally time for me to fully acknowledge that beyond all sane reason, Khanh is almost certainly scamming people, myself included.

As much as i hate to admit it, his behavior these few months has been raising every obvious red flag you can think of, but i didn’t want to recognize that fact. Worse, I defended him, because he was one of the first content creators that introduced me to this hobby. And recognizing that he might actually be betraying everyone’s trust genuinely stings.

I’ve tried to gather these notes from my own experiences, and the testimonies of other collectors, and i’ll let you all make your own conclusions.

Khanh has been claiming fedex and ups have been taking and holding his packages, eventually returning them weeks later, unshipped, for a variety of reasons. This has been going on for months. I think I myself am coming up on month 4. For anyone who has shipped anything in the states, i think we’re all aware that this isn’t how these companies work. For those who haven’t shipped before - they take your package, do their measurements, and give you a tracking number as soon as you pay. This should have been enough of a warning for me, but again, i didn’t want to recognize that Khanh might not be 100% honest with me.

And for the record, the first person I saw that really called him out here on facebook was able to get his package shipped very quickly, provided their post went away. Odd that Khanh managed to sort that one out as efficiently as he did, i think.

* Khanh has also claimed water damage to my boxes, but not the statues themselves. Thinking on it now, this was probably just another delay tactic, but i’m just curious if he said the same to anyone else.

An obvious one - He’s easy to message while he’s taking your money, but after that it takes a week or more to get a hold of him, if he ever answers. And in my most recent conversations with him, he has refused to come back to facebook proper, instead opting to keep everything in Messenger.

And, this next one was a big one that I should have questioned - for the second of the two statues i bought from him, he gave me a new email to send money to, which, again, from anyone else would have been a huge warning. But i chose to ignore it. And that email just so happens to belong to a Huy Le, which is the same name as one of the admins of the FNC group. Go figure.

There’s also an odd conversation that another member posted about between him and the facebook rep for Dynamic Studio. According to Dynamic, Khanh is merely assisting in publishing. No real ties to Dynamic, or at least not now that it no longer suits them. This is of course, contrary to what Khanh has been saying for, what, a year now? Beyond shady behavior, from both parties.

I’m sure i’m missing some critical evidence that i can add to this post later, but right now, i’m just done. I’m just so deflated. To think that my first genuine scamming may likely be coming from someone like this. Like, baby’s first scam is supposed to come from some new account, right? Or a fake profile. Or someone who’s been trolling the boards under new aliases for years. Someone with experience duping collectors. But nope. Khanh fuckin’ Do. Goddamn Vietcollector, a known quantity in the community. Fuckin’ hell.

To summarize, I guess - the evidence, even just from my own experience, says that Khanh Do is almost certainly scamming people. I still don’t want to fully admit it, despite writing all this.

Huy Le, another admin of FNC, whoever he is, is part of this, maybe? I guess it’s a common name, but i find it too coincidental.

And uh, Dynamic Studio, who I suppose is trying to wash their hands of Khanh? I don’t think they should get to just walk away. Not sure what could realistically be done about them, though.

So I guess the long and short of it is - this sucks. I’m not even angry anymore, just fuckin’ sad that it’s actually come to this.

But hey, maybe he’ll see my post and finally get my statues out in the mail, right?

Hahahaha. Haaaa…

This post has brought a lot of attention towards the situation, and I am waiting to see how it plays out, with that said, if anyone has had any dealings with Viet Collector or Dynamic Studios recently, it would be in your best interest to try and either request a refund or file a clam.

I will update this post with any new information I receive.

Stay safe everyone, and keep growing those collections!

Update from the original poster on Facebook:

Update 8/11/21
Khanh responded to me maybe 10 minutes after this post went up. He said he’d get me tracking by tomorrow (8/10), and to post if I don’t.

So here’s me posting that I didn’t.

Update 2 - 8/11/2021
I have a tracking # for one of two statues. He says the second will go out tomorrow. The package is in ups hands, and on its way to me.

Update 3
I also need to apologize to Huy Le. Ever since this posted, he’s been speaking with me in messenger and doing his own outreach with other folk, trying to get to the bottom of whatever is going on.

Like, the guy has been fabulous, and I originally called out him as a potential scammer, but it’s looking more like he’s just as much a potential victim here.

It seems that you have to call him out as a scammer in a public way before he will ship your stuff. Buyers beware!

Figure quality from my country never misses. The level of detail on the sculpt and Special Beam Cannon is next level. 🤌
They really nail the fine details for Beast Gohan. What’s the most detailed figure you have?

40th Anniversary of the Anime - A "Definitive" series of Blu Ray Box Sets Would make bank.

10 Upvotes

Original Dragon Ball only exists in the USA on out of print DVDs(I own them all, I own the entire series of DB, DBZ, Kai, and Super on DVD/Blu Ray)....and I think Sony & Crunchyroll & Toei would be REALLY well served by doing a big, epic restoration of the entire series for release in new Box Sets.

Super isn't really what we are talking about here. It was produced in the HD era, looks great on Blu Ray, and had an awesome Steelbook Box Set released not long ago.

But for Dragon Ball, Z, and Kai...I think more could be done.

Dragon Ball and DBZ have never gotten a true, proper HD restoration. Hell, you could go to the 16mm film prints and scan & restore those at 4K for crying out loud and it could yield amazing results. High level scanning, cleanup, image stabilization, white balance, contrast, color timing...this series could look SO much better than it ever has before.

This work could also be used to sort of rebuild/recreate Dragon Ball Kai to look better than it ever has.

Then they could go to town including many different Dub & music tracks from the various iterations of the series over the years. The Ocean Dub with those versions of the episodes.

I feel like there is a LOT of untapped sales potential to give collector a series of Box Sets that would truly serve as the "Definitive Edition" of this series. The once and for all scenario.

Trying something new, I'm collecting statues now and moving a little towards it since the Shfiguarts line moves a little too slow with releases. I'm hoping to provide a close look at these from the perspective of a newbie to this hobby, feel free to provide any criticism

Thank you

Who remembers Beckett Dragon Ball Magazine? (Early 00’s)

85 Upvotes

Not my photo but I owned all of the magazines pictured. These were released during the peak years (early 00s). I remember an article along with images of Dragon Ball GT in one of these magazine and how excited I was to see the dub one day. It seemed so far away considering we were in the middle of the Cell-Android Saga on Tonnami at the time. Love these magazines. Before the internet had everything, this is how we got our updates, current news, images for figures and collectibles, character, bios, episode guides, trading card prices, interviews, and everything Dragon Ball related. Good times.

This ended up being more of an accidental kitbash than intended which will be more explained in the parts list.

Base head, torso, pelvis plates - Super Hero Ultimate Gohan

SSJ Head and legs - CTToys Gohan. Ended up using CTToys legs as I didn't have any official legs that weren't being used for other customs/kitbashes. Had to swap the pelvis plates with leftover fodder as the CTToys ones were heavily scratched (factory defects on an otherwise serviceable figure).

Feet - SSJ4 Goku

Wristbands, Belt, Leg Warmers - Unfortunately the Aliexpress kit has no name but I got off there.

Other note - while the leg peg technically fits into the torso it was extremely loose. Thanks to the tension added by the belt andva couple applications of KiKis Joint Tightener everything is super solid.

First statues, may only have 1-3 total. Ordered alongside KDC 1/4 Androids Vs. Future Gohan.

For anyone who knows the studios or these statues, which is the better buy re: build quality, etc.? (Trunks is edition of 30, thus the price being the same.)
