Mecha Musume details issues with Zelina Vega.

The custom merchandise/attire shop took to Instagram on Thursday, April 11 to detail a number of issues that she's faced while dealing with Zelina Vega in recent months. First, the shop stated that Vega got a custom Mecha Chancla "practically for free." Also, Vega was accused of giving the shop the wrong address for a pair of cuffs, wings, and a headset. As a result, those items were melted in the sun, which led to the shop having to reship them, which did not fit in the specific time frame that was asked of them. The shop accused Vega's assistant of saying that she was unprofessional and that her skills suck. The shop went on to note that Vega got all of the items for $900, despite the fact that the commission was valued at $2,500. The shop also stated that Vega promised to pay them in exposure.

As a result of the quick turnaround, the shop had to refund a number of customers and decline new orders to get Vega's new order done in two to three weeks. The shop claims that the project should've taken months.

Furthermore, the shop claims that Vega disputed the total amount of the transaction despite the fact that she kept everything.

Fans can check out the full statement from Mecha Musume (via Instagram) below.

WWE Wrestler Zelina Vega with the custom Mecha Chancla we designed, printed and hand stoned one by one that she practically got for free and severely under paid me for.

Also wasted my time on a pair of cuffs, Mech wings and headset, all hand stoned. She gave me the wrong address which resulted in my wings getting cooked in the hot 100 degree florida sun, melting it essentially, having to reship it, and then finding out the time specified was too late, then having a piece detach due to melted pieces from again...it getting damaged from being delivered to her old address that she THOUGHT she could pick it up from. It was literally something so fixable and yet she said it was my fault and a skill issue as well as her "assistant" saying I'm unprofessional for even saying it's anything but my work and my skills suck. She got all that (commission valued at $2.5k) for $900 with a promise of exposure and I had to refund multiple customers and reject new orders to get this done, hours upon hours of 3d designing everything, bedazzling everything one by one, custom painting everything, attaching LEDs, crystalizzing the transparent parts of the wings, etc. A labor that should have taken months, I did in 2 and a half to 3 weeks non stop breaks and no sleep. And guess what? Only for her to return everything, dispute the total amount without deducting what she kept via paypal and keeping the chancla and headset for practically change. All of that...for nothing and to have expensive stuff for Temu price. As a Puerto Rican, you are literally a disgrace and 100% not for your people, let alone small businesses.

Safe to say I will never work with a celebrity that tries to scam me for cheap services and practically free items again and I will never bedazzle either, but still pretty cool to witness my piece on TV and the world seeing it. Of course there's no tag, but that's nothing new guys.

I definitely don't want to work with celebrities or influencers anymore, they always expect super cheap or free stuff and excessive labor just because it's them. AM HUMAN TOO, I HAVE BILLS TO PAY, I NEED TO EAT. THIS IS NOT A CHINESE SWEATSHOP OR MAJOR CORP, ITS A ONE WOMAN ARMY.

After the initial post, creator Sangre posted their dealings with Zelina.

Vega had her X/Twitter account deactivated, but reactivated to respond.
