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!

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, ...

RicSan Custom Toys Kyōrū Kaiju (Titanosaurus)

My latest kaiju figure purchase is the Titanosaurus made by Ricsan Custom Toys. I own and love the Varan & Gabara, so of course I had to preorder this one when it was available. He was delivered earlier this week. This kaiju hails from the last Godzilla film of the Showa era, 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla. The Black Hole aliens are back, rebuilding their robot in another effort to take over the planet. They enlist the help of an ostracized Earth scientist named Mafune and his daughter Katsura, who are able to control an aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus. They plan to use both kaiju and mecha to attack Japan. Titano was a cool monster, with his tail that opened into a fish fin, and he would use it to create whirlpools in the sea, and high winds on land. I'm hoping that S.H. Monsterarts makes one for the 50th anniversary of the film, but when I saw this Ricsan Custom version, I couldn't pass it up. Titanosaurus (called the Kyōrū Kaiju), comes in a white box, with its n...

Help Me… I’m Possessed (1974) / #Missingcouple (2024)

I've watched some weird, obscure horror movies throughout my life. I can now add this lurid 1974 schlockfest to that growing list. In a castle in the desert, Dr. Arthur Blackwood runs a sanitarium filled with mentally disturbed patients (as well as staff). He claims to be working on finding a way to cure people of any violent tendencies they have, and brags about his younger sister, innocent, child-like Melanie, as evidence that his treatment works. When she was a child, their parents had to keep her locked up and chained in the basement, to control her violent fits. Now that he's cured her, Arthur has his wife Diane come to the castle to meet Melanie, so that they can be one big, happy family. Diane begins to grow suspicious that something is amiss after a Sheriff shows up investigating the murder of 2 local teens, and sets about on her own investigation, hoping to uncover the sinister secrets that she feels her husband is hiding. Help Me... I'm Possessed is an outrageous,...
