Bandai S.H.MonsterArts Evangelion Test Type-01 G Awakening Form Now Available for Pre-Order

Two of Japan's biggest giant-monster franchises are colliding in a genuinely unusual crossover. Confirmed via Bandai's official S.H.MonsterArts product listing, reported by Bleeding Cool and corroborated by Toy People and TAMASHII WEB, the Evangelion Test Type-01 G Awakening Form is now available for pre-order at $155.99, built around the premise of what happens if G-Cells were injected into EVA Unit-01.

This is a confirmed pre-order from an official Godzilla vs. Evangelion collaboration, so here's exactly what's included.

What's Confirmed About the Test Type-01 G Figure

Bandai's official S.H.MonsterArts product listing, as reported by Bleeding Cool, confirms the following:

  • Price: $155.99 (17,600 JPY tax included in Japan)
  • Part of the official Godzilla vs. Evangelion collaboration, created with full cooperation from X-Plus Co., Ltd.
  • Based on the premise of injecting G-Cells into Evangelion Unit-01 Test Type
  • Adds Godzilla-inspired dorsal fins, a tail, claws, and a red core to the classic EVA-01 design
  • Includes an Atomic Breath effect part
  • Includes a display base
  • Includes spare horn parts for custom posing options
  • Expected release window is late 2026 to early 2027, with some retailers listing December 2026 and others January 2027

A Genuinely Unusual Crossover Concept

Merging Godzilla's biological monster mythology with Evangelion's mecha-biological hybrid concept isn't an obvious pairing, but the "what if G-Cells were injected into EVA-01" premise gives Bandai a legitimate creative hook rather than just a co-branding exercise. The addition of dorsal fins, a tail, and claws onto EVA-01's recognizable purple-and-green silhouette makes for one of the more visually distinct S.H.MonsterArts releases in recent memory.

Why the Included Effect Parts Matter

Bundling an Atomic Breath effect piece directly ties this figure to Godzilla's signature attack rather than treating the Evangelion side of the crossover as a simple reskin. Combined with the spare horn parts for alternate posing, it gives collectors real options for building a dynamic display rather than a single static pose.

Planning Display Space for a Premium Crossover Piece

With a price point above $150 and a release window still several months out, it's worth planning both budget and shelf space ahead of arrival.

For an irregularly shaped figure with an attached Atomic Breath effect piece, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case offers a flexible, dust-free enclosure that can accommodate the effect part.

For posing the figure with its included display base, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds tiered shelf presence alongside other premium figures.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Assuming this is a standard Evangelion release rather than a specific Godzilla vs. Evangelion crossover concept
  • Overlooking the release date discrepancy between retailers listing December 2026 versus January 2027
  • Not budgeting for the premium $155.99 price point when planning a pre-order
  • Losing track of the spare horn parts, which are easy to misplace separately from the main figure
