Dasin Genos



Today's box day brought me the Dasin Genos figure from the One Punch Man anime and manga. He is Saitama's cyborg disciple and sidekick.



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!

S.H. MonsterArts King Kong '21

The next May pre-order to arrive is S.H. MonsterArts King Kong from the Godzilla vs. Kong film. I was psyched to get a highly articulated Kong from Tamashii Nations, and the great ape is finally here. Kong is a little shorter than Godzilla (just like in the film). The details of the sculpt are all well done. Tamashii Nations did a good job capturing his look well, from his hair covered body to a few scars on his chest. His faces, including his eyes and teeth on the open mouth head, as well as his axe, are all well painted. The only issue is that they seemed to have gone with a glossy finish, so he seems too shiny, especially on his face and chest. A duller matte shade would've suited him better. At least it would've kept him from looking like he over-moisturized. As for his articulation, he's quite flexible. His head is on a ball joint, ball jointed neck as well, ball jointed shoulders and thighs, upper arm cut, single jointed elbows and knees that go in further than 90 deg...

Titanic Creations Yongary 1967

This figure was released in late December, and I got it about 2 days before the New Year, so I'm counting it as a 2025 release. It is the Titanic Creations version of the Korean kaiju Yongary, Monster From The Deep. The film was released in 1967 as a Godzilla ripoff, with several ideas copied from the Gamera series, such as his tusks, his ability to fire a stream of flames from his mouth, and even firing a laser beam from his horn, similar to the slicing one used by Gyaos. The film is pretty goofy, but Yongary, like most of those Asian monsters, was pretty cool (to me, at least), so I was psyched that someone finally made a figure of this lesser known kaiju. When Titanic Creations put it up for pre-order, they announced a series of tiers, where they would add accessories when a certain number of orders were met. Enough fans ordered him, so that Yongary ended up with a shit ton of stuff, making him absolutely worth the price. In addition to the kaiju, you get a flame breath effect, ...

S.H. Figuarts Ultimate Ageis/Ultraman Zero Armor option parts set

Earlier in the week I received my S.H. Figuarts Ultimate Ageis/Ultraman Zero Armor option parts set. I was busy with work and doing other reviews, but I finally got around to checking these out. They turned out to be pretty cool option parts. Ultimate Aegis is a set of armor created by Ultraman Noa . My initial thought was that they may be a bit of a hassle to attach to the Ultras. They ended up being fairly easily to swap out and put on them. The only issue I had was with the large piece (Final Ultimate Zero) that Ultraman Zero holds. I was having trouble getting his arm peg into the fist (it’s attached to the piece). Then I realized that I had on his forearm with his bracelet, so I swapped out the regular forearm without the bracelet and it went in easily. For the ultimate Zero Sword, each hand piece comes with its own fists, a red (for X) and blue (for Zero). The top of the fist has a peg that attaches to the piece, and then you ...
