I purchased the Saitama figure sone time ago and really liked it, so when I saw they had released Genos I picked him up as well. Both of them I got from China via ebay sellers. Like Saitama, Genos is also affordable (about $35 to $40).
Genos comes with four different face plates (serious, yelling, angry and battle damaged), 3 pairs of hands (closed fists, open and one holding a pen while the other holds a book), pink apron and stand. The head comes in 3 parts. You peg in the face plate to the back of the hair, then peg in the front part of the hair over it and pop the head back in on a joint. On mine the battle damaged face plate was a bit tighter than the others so when I pulled it off the peg came out of the neck, but it can easily pop back in.
The articulation is very nice, just like the Saitama. The head moves around, up and down a little, slight movement at the neck, shoulders move all the way in a circle and also have a butterfly joint that can move them forward a little, upper arm rotation, elbows, wrists,upper and lower torso move side to side with some ab crunch, upper thighs move up and out like Figuarts Ultra figures, knee and ankle joints and a toe joint at each foot. You can get this guy in some good, creative poses.
He stands a little taller than standard Figuarts, and a bit shorter than Ultra Act figures. The paint details are nice, especially the face plates. He could've benefitted with a little more shading, but that's not a big issue as it's an overall great figure.
The only thing I would've really liked is if he came with some more extra hands, such as some gripping ones to hold stuff and maybe a weapon hand or 2. But for the price you pay he's pretty great, you get more bang for your buck than with some of the S.H. Figuarts releases.
My final verdict for Genos is an 8 1/2 out of 10. If you're a One Punch Man fan then this figure is a must have. And it's affordable (for now anyway, not sure if the prices will skyrocket in a few years like some other companies' older stuff). So go get him!
