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!

Ultraman Omega finale

Episode 25, the series finale of Ultraman Omega aired this Friday. From the very first episode I was hooked, and the series continued to maintain a high quality until the surprisingly emotional end. Sorato (Omega) regained all his memories, learning that he was one of many Space Gazers, who's job is to watch a planet and not interfere with any wars between the species (in Earth's case, humans and kaiju). A space Gazer's job is to observe, study and take notes, to learn from a planet's successes and mistakes, in the hopes of finding the right formula to achieve universal peace. Having returned to his previous role as simply a watcher, Kosei, Ayumu and Sayuki were forced to rely on themselves and their team to defeat the powerful kaiju Zomera. As he continued to watch the battle, Sorato/Omega found himself wrestling with the inactive role he was meant to do and his memories of the friendships he had forged with the others, as well as the examples of human kindness he had ...

S.H. Figuarts Father of Ultra

Last week I received the latest SHF Showa Ultra figure, the one and only Father of Ultra, who made his debut in the series Ultraman Ace. He’s the 1st of the two Ultra related August releases I had pre-ordered (the other being Ace Killer). Father of Ultra is easily recognized by the huge horns on his head. The rest of his body is the standard red and silver color scheme that the other original Ultra brothers have (different colors wouldn’t be introduced until Ultraman Tiga decades later). Bandai did a fine job in capturing his look, much more accurate than the highly stylized Ultra Act version, which made him quite muscular. For his accessories, he comes with 6 pairs of hands (fists, two sets of holding, 2 sets of flat/karate chop, and grappling). He has an extra right flat hand that shoots out his signature beam, called the Father Shot. What makes this different from other releases is that the beam and hand are 2 separate pieces, with a clear plastic peg on the side of the fingers that...

S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Arc

With the release of Tsuburaya's new Ultra series that premiered some weeks ago, we now have a figure of the its from Bandai's S.H. Figuarts line. Upon seeing the promos for the series, I initially thought it would be rather silly and I wasn't expecting much. To my surprise, I'm really enjoying this show. I find it well written, the characters are likable, and Arc has a lot of personality. I haven't enjoyed a new Ultra series this much since Z. So I went ahead and purchased the figure of Arc. It was pretty cheap, and was delivered from AmiAmi earlier this last week. I opted for the plain figure. They also have two other versions of him wearing his armor up for pre-order. The orange Solis Armor version, which is due in October, and the blue Luna Armor, which is due in November. Anyway, Arc resembles Ultraman Orb, especially the shape of his head. He's primarily red and silver, with black on his shoulders, upper chest and neck. He sports a blue crystal in the middl...
