Entry Grade — The Ideal Starting Point
The Bandai Gundam Entry Grade line is designed for builders new to Gunpla, featuring tool-free assembly and undergated parts that simplify the build process without sacrificing the iconic look of the mobile suits. These kits build confidence and introduce core modeling techniques in an approachable format. Entry Grade is an excellent gateway into the broader world of Gunpla for builders of all ages.
High Grade — Versatile and Accessible
The Bandai Gundam High Grade series offers current-generation engineering in 1/144 scale at accessible price points, covering mobile suits from across the entire Gundam multiverse. High Grade kits balance detail, articulation, and affordability, making them a perennial favorite for both casual builders and dedicated collectors. Their consistent scale also makes them ideal for diorama and squadron display projects.
Master Grade — Advanced 1/100 Scale Engineering
Bandai Gundam Master Grade kits represent a significant step up in complexity and detail, featuring fully articulated internal skeletal frames, opening cockpit hatches, and layered construction that reveals mechanical depth as assembly progresses. At 1/100 scale, Master Grade kits deliver an immersive building experience and impressive display presence. They are well-suited for builders ready to invest time in a more involved project.
Real Grade — Maximum Detail in 1/144 Scale
Bandai Gundam Real Grade kits compress Master Grade-level engineering into the compact 1/144 scale through advanced molding technology and multi-gate runner systems. Real Grade kits feature realistic color separation, pre-applied surface details, and waterslide decal sheets for authentic markings. They are an excellent choice for collectors who want high detail density in a display-friendly footprint.
Perfect Grade — The Ultimate Gunpla Experience
Bandai Gundam Perfect Grade kits define the pinnacle of the Gunpla line, offering 1/60 scale construction with features such as LED lighting systems, chrome-plated components, and opening armor panels that reveal intricate internal mechanisms. Perfect Grade kits serve as centerpiece displays, combining engineering complexity with commanding visual impact. They represent the most ambitious builds in the Gunpla hobby.
SD Gundam — Character and Charm
Super Deformed Gundam kits reimagine mobile suit designs in chibi proportions while preserving their iconic silhouettes and color schemes. The Bandai Gundam BB Senshi line offers traditional SD styling with straightforward construction, making these kits a fun and quick build for hobbyists of all experience levels. SD kits are also popular for customization and kit-bashing projects.
Full Mechanics and Specialty Grades
Bandai Gundam Full Mechanics kits occupy the space between High Grade and Master Grade, delivering 1/100 scale construction with enhanced detail and articulation. Specialty and limited-edition grades round out the Gunpla lineup, offering unique engineering approaches and exclusive designs for collectors seeking something beyond the standard grade tiers.
