Ps – I did this review a week ago but I have the new version of WordPress and it’s not behaving for me. And no other head has come close to their slick design, realistic movement and overall packaging for the price. But the truth is, LeLutka is still King – or Queen – for me.

Genus is a “newer” brand (in name anyway) so it benefits from fresh media (blog) coverage and new applier inventory from every popular creator on the grid.

If you consider the price of a Genus Head at $5500L and a LetLutka head, fully loaded with Glam Affair skin and perfectly functioning HUDs for both animations and options, there is just no parity. And especially as LeLutka recently updated their heads and HUDs. That said, there is no other head on the grid that is an elegantly designed as LeLutka’s. I will admit I haven’t spent a ton of time playing with all the features on the HUDs, so I still have a very tentative feel for how everything works.

I am certain this is because I haven’t created a 100% compatible shape yet, but I will note that I have not had this problem with another head in SL other than Fiore’s Bento head. So as I mentioned, Genus’ rigged eyes move unnaturally in my opinion, and in some instances, they even extend outside my avatar’s eye sockets. I failed at creating a shape that looked as nice as the avatar in the ad, but for the purposes of this review, I just kept going. In fact, I had all but given up even trying on skins for it until I saw the newest Bold & Beauty skin, Grace. Let me just say, I admire how Genus looks on others even though I have never liked how it looked on my own avatar.
