KAMEN RIDER OOO COLLECTION 2022

「もし助けを求める手が伸びているのに、できる限り手を差し伸べなければ、死ねばよかったと後悔するでしょう...

("If there is a hand reaching for help, and I don't reach out my hand when I can, the regret would make me wish I were dead... )

…それが嫌だから手を差し伸べる。」

―火野 映司

(...I reach out my hand, because I don't want that.") - Hino Eiji

THE SERIES THAT STARTED IT ALL

I remember one of those humid Summer in Vietnam, I was going to the flee market as per every weekends and sifting through baskets of bootleg super heroes movies. Being the tokusatsu hoarder I was, I had most of the DVD that were there. A bunch of Gaoranger, some Gokaiger, a Space Sheriff Gavan The Movie, Ultraman Powered with Vietnamese dubs and Spanish subs (simultaneously).

Then all the sudden appeared a 2-pack DVD with this weird traffic-light-colored power ranger poster, with the title “Coin Power Rangers of the Animals - Battle Againsts Mummies”. 

TAKE. MY. MONEY!

THE BEGINNING OF A HENSHIN JOURNEY

This collection took was the first of the four I had on my store. It to me is the best collection I’ve created so far and still is my favorite collection, as it represents the original theme of RINKITORI. Hand drawn. Thick stroke. Minimal effects. Pastel color. Recognizable. Fashionable. Subtle. 

Each design has its own shape that symbolizes the character of the form, Tajadol’s triangle for fire, Putotyra’s square for space, Shauta’s curves as waves, Latorata’s long dash for speed, Sagohzo’s column for weight, and Gatakiriba’s hexagon for nature.
