They probably got sued a well. Or maybe they aren't in a territory where Viacom can take legal action but ShowZ is? Just speculating...
Hmm, well, I think both companies are in China, which is weird as usually (American) companies aren't able to take action there. Also, 52Toys is meant to be a "legit" company as they've made licenced block transforming toys for Alien, Predator, etc.

Maybe them being in China is why Viacom targeted ShowZ via PayPal
That explains the how, but maybe not the why? I've messaged 52Toys to find out but I'm not sure if they'll reply.

Edit:

Perhaps this explains it?

Perhaps ShowZ was one of the international sellers and they got stung?

However, Amazon Japan has a pre-order (at time of writing) for Shredder, via a private seller:
