![]() ![]() Perfect Grade kits are the holy grail of Gunpla model kits! They’re the best of the best in detail, mechanics, and gimmicks, and are the largest highly detailed scale available. The big difference between an HG and an MG kit is that MG kits have an inner frame or skeleton mechanic where you put on the armor pieces one by one just like a Samurai warrior would do when preparing for a battle. ![]() Master Grade kits only have the 1/100 scale which are usually around 18 cm tall. Now if you want more detail, mechanics and an inner frame skeleton to show off, then Master Grade kits are for you! They are the next level up from HG kits, and while more expensive, the pay-off is worth it due to the kits’ level of detail, included gimmicks, mechanics and some dry rub decals that will greatly improve the awesomeness of your model. Don’t get confused between 1/100 HG and 1/100 MG kits! First timers might get confused because they look the same. As for the 1/100 Scale High Grade kits, you won’t be seeing any HG letters on the box, though you’ll know it’s a 1/100 HG kit if it doesn’t have “MG” or “Master Grade” printed on the box art, and the box art is usually in portrait format. You can readily determine that it’s a High Grade kit because it will have the abbreviations “HG” on the box and its box art is in landscape format. The other scale is 1/100 which is around 18cm tall. 1/144 kits are nice to collect and display because they occupy less space than Master Grade or Perfect Grade kits. Some models are a little bit taller like Sinanju and Sazabi, while some HG models are somewhat shorter like Exia. High Grade kits have two scales: 1/144 which is around 13 cm tall depending on the model. High Grade kits are the most collectible because the line-up of Gundams and mobile suits in this grade, whether it be a protagonist’s or an antagonist’s mobile suit, is vast and High Grades are one of the most affordable grades available aside from the Super Deformed kits. They are the High Grade (HG), Master Grade (MG), Perfect Grade (PG), Real Grade (RG), and the Super Deformed Grade (chibi). In addition, reissues from 2019 onwards will bear the blue Bandai Spirits logo.There are 5 existing Gunpla kit grades that you can buy in the market. The reissues also omit the "ST" mark, as model kits are generally exempted from the requirements of the Japan Toy Association's Safety Toy (ST) Standard. Reissues of these kits can be distinguished from their original releases by their glossy box print (as opposed to the original's matte finish) and inclusion of plastic content information on the box's side flap. Modelers refer to these kits as "Old kits" ( 旧キット, Kyū kitto ?) when comparing them to more recent Gunpla releases. Most of the kits include a small tube of glue for quick assembly. Compared to modern Gunpla kits, these require glue and paint to complete, and articulation and detail are very limited. ![]() Released in 1980 following the end of the series' initial broadcast run in Japan, the line introduced fans to the hobby of Gunpla. The Mobile Suit Gundam Model Series (also known as First Gundam) is a line of Gunpla kits of the Mobile Weapons from the TV series Mobile Suit Gundam. ![]()
