Shin Universe Robo (シン・ユニバースロボ, Shin Yunibāsu Robo?) is a giant robot formed through the combination of Godzilla, Ultraman, Evangelion Unit-01, and Kamen Rider. It was featured in the S.J.H.U. PROJECT Shin Universe Robo video, promoting a toy produced by Bandai.
Profile[]
The Shin Universe Robo is a four-part combination. The core of Shin Universe Robo is made up by Godzilla, whose feet, tail, and dorsal fins are removed, and whose neck and head fold down onto his chest. A portion of Godzilla's pelvis also slides down and slits appear in his pelvis and thighs, revealing red paneling on his right side and green on his left. The upper and lower halves of Ultraman's and Evangelion Unit-01's bodies are separated, with the lower halves becoming the robot's feet and the upper halves becoming its arms. An A.T. Field projected by the Evangelion Unit solidifies into a chest ornament, which Godzilla's head pokes through. The transformation is completed by the Cyclone, which becomes the robot's head, and continues to be ridden upon by Kamen Rider. Shin Universe Robo also possesses a pair of red and white wing-like structures on its back.

History[]
S.J.H.U. PROJECT Shin Universe Robo[]
In a city, Godzilla, Ultraman, Evangelion Unit-01, and Kamen Rider confronted a giant horned sludge monster and a fleet of smaller drones. Before long, Godzilla roared to the others, and they raised their fists in acknowledgment. The four heroes combined into Shin Universe Robo, marching through laser blasts from its enemies. Before long, the robot destroyed the monster with a finishing move: slashing with its sword and shield, firing atomic breath from Godzilla's head, and being joined by a Rider Kick from Kamen Rider.

Development[]
The final design was designed by Takuya Tsurumaki (PLEX). It took a year from the idea of the project to its announcement. The concept got started around April 2022 and it took about a year to get approval from each company. According to Yuki Mitsuoka (Bandai), who was in charge of the Planning, it took about twice as long to design the toy in comparisson to other robot toys.[1] The development of the design was detailed in an article on the Figure King issue 305[2][3]
In S.J.H.U. PROJECT Shin Universe Robo, it was played by stuntman Yohei Fujita.
A S.J.H.U. PROJECT Shin Universe Robo toy was announced on 19 May 2023 to be developed by Bandai Spirits. The pre-orders started on 19 May 2023. The combined height is approximately 240 mm. It was initially set at the price of 23,100 yen (tax included).[4]
