Sentinel has revealed the latest addition to its popular RIOBOT die-cast action figure line: Shurouga from "Super Robot Wars OG." The figure is scheduled for release in June 2027.
Introduced in the "Super Robot Wars Z" series, the original mecha Shurouga is piloted by Asakim Dowin, a man cursed with immortality. It is also an alternate-universe counterpart to the artificial deity Supreme God Sol. As Shurouga traveled through parallel worlds, it continuously absorbed the thoughts and spiritual energy of countless beings, gradually transforming into its jet-black appearance. The machine boasts exceptional agility and mobility, can transform from Black God Form into Black Bird Form, and draws limitless energy from its perpetual-motion engine. Its devastating arsenal includes Rumbling Discalibur, Embrace the Inferno, and Luster Edge.
The RIOBOT Shurouga stands approximately 20 centimeters tall and features a fully articulated design supervised by original designer Masami Obari. The figure faithfully captures the mecha’s dramatically exaggerated proportions and razor-sharp armor detailing. Die-cast components are incorporated throughout the internal frame, including the chest, elbows, and lower body, providing durable joints and a satisfyingly hefty feel in hand. Gloss black and multiple metallic finishes cover the body, while clear parts recreate the crystalline sections for a rich, weighty metallic appearance.
In Black God Form, pull-out mechanisms in the upper torso and shoulder joints greatly expand the arms’ range of motion and allow for deeper backward movement at the waist. The main wings on the back can also pivot in multiple directions. Combined with the included Discalibur sword, these features let collectors recreate a wide range of powerful, dynamic battle poses. The transformation system and dedicated replacement frame part also recreate Black Bird Form, which can be displayed in flight with the included stand.
Collectors who order through the Sentinel Store, D4TOYS online store, or other designated official retailers will also receive an exclusive bonus: an extended blade part for Discalibur.
