This Week in Tokusatsu Merchandise 1/3/22 – 1/7/21
The tokusatsu merchandise roundup for the first week of 2022 features Tokusou Robo Janperson exclusive merchandise as well as new preorders from the Kamen Rider series.
Starting off this roundup, we have the HENSHIN by KAMEN RIDER ―VILLAIN ー Design t-shirts.
-VILLAIN- The dominant gaze that sees the “monster” is conscious of the deep boundary drawn between the other and the self. At the same time, it has the essence of “the act of seeing = the act of admitting that it is being seen”.
