My fav grade is RG. Like you said the newer ones that have come out are amazingly solid to build and I just love the detail of engineering you get jam packed in such a small package. It's like having the detail of a MG and sometimes even a PG all in a package of a HG. Love that all in one special type of deal!

My girlfriend got me into gunpla since she knew I loved building LEGO. I started with the RX-78 with G-Armor and I bought an RG Exia with it because she said "buy something that looks cool" and now I have a little collection going on and a good backlog of kits to build. Exia was the first Perfect Grade I bought even though I won't be building it for some time. And now I have a constant itch of "I need to build more." It is quite addicting and I love it.

Welcome to gunpla, have built quite a few back in the day. Built a HG Gouf Custom back in 2011 as my first. Try to list the ones I can remember MG Red Frame MG Master Gundam MG Hi Nu MG Destiny Burst Mode MG Kamfer MG RGM Jester MG Gouf Custom MG Nu Gundam Verka MG Sazabi Verka MG shinanju Verka MG Unicorn MG Banshee MG RX78-2 Origin MG Burning Gundam Very useful tip for y’all: Keep these things in a case away from dust. Unfortunately they have all succumbed to the weaken rubber joints this guy described and from moving from various places over the years they lost their stability in standing and posing. The RX78 and Burning I’ve recently built are at my buds place standing with his 30+ collection lol rest are in literally pieces in a box like a junkyard. Planning on utilizing them as Terrian decoration for warhammer maps.

[@damian5033]

I started building this year (2022) & have built a couple of all of the grades except PG (mainly due to the cost). As an older guy, I find building MG kits easier because a lot of the parts are bigger and there tend to be decals rather than stickers which are easier for hands that aren't as steady as they used to be. This break down was really well put together and I've already sent it over to a few of my mates who are interested in starting gunpla to help explain the pro/cons of each kit. Thanks for all the content and keep it up!

[@jrmarcus]

I started last year. Started with HGs then NGs and MGs, and then back to HG. I recently did an RG Crossbones. It was a great kit, but very challenging for someone older, with not very nimble fingers, and not great eyesight. Loved it though and trying to decide on another RG. With just a panel line marker, the Crossbones came out looking like I was a good modeler.

After starting with early RG's and then building everything between, HG is definitely becoming my favourite. I've only recently got into airbrushing and scribing, I like to be able to snap a kit up fast and then spend longer costuming it

[@Zeriel00]

That's a waste, spend that time and effort on MGs

[@Bionickpunk]

I would say RGs are even more difficult than MGs, cause they have the same complexity but in a smaller scale, making it harder to fiddle with the parts when building it.

I love MG because their size and detail just feels right, even when they didn't have an inner frame they still looked great on shelves. I haven't made an RG yet, but they look so good that I have to try one at some point. I am jealous that HG has such a variety of kits that the others don't, but I do plan to grab some to practice painting.

My favourite line is still HG there's tons of variety you can choose to grunt and obscure suits and it's much more customizable because you have some kits having the same joints and same build process.

[@gravekeeper4601]

I have started building MGs but as of late I am gravitating to RGs. For me the RG line is a fine balance between detail and scale; and RG saves shelf space.

[@unassailable6138]

A VW beetle saves space in the garage too, but its ugly to look at. I hate the 144 scale which dominates the RGs

[@Zeriel00]

My opinion as someone who has been building these for 2 decades now. HG: These are so expensive that they're almost never worth it over an RG but because they're the cheapest to make, a lot of cool models are only available in this size/detail RG: Excellent detail, good price, but they're tiny. Great for people who don't have a lot of shelf space and just want to snap them together and have them look good. MG: Best option IMO. Great size, great detail, decent price, you can paint them and customize them. The downside is that every cool model is limited edition PBandai. PG: Way too expensive, if there's a model you absolutely must have or if you're a hardcore builder or if you're rich.

[@HighEffortUsername]

Expensive? Dude they're half the price of a real grade at most what do you expensive?

[@markg.7014]

Thank you for this breakdown. I was always curious about the RG gundams. I've pretty much have stuck to MG builds within my budget. Trying different paints over the years and now getting into airbrush so I can do amazing builds like you have. If I were to go with a PG I would got with Wing Zero Endless Waltz version.

[@Mordred452]

Recently got back into model building after 6 years and my local hobby store began carrying Gunpla Kits. Ive always been interested in building mecha kits. I have 3 done so far. HG Barbatos and Bael and a RG Exia. Ill still buy HG kits for fun but I had so much fun with the RG Exia. Took me a lot more time but the pay off was worth it. It's also way more solid.

[@mostlyjovial6177]

I like mastergrade most. Small and compact while still having enough detail without needing to add detail, to make it far more worth it than the Highgrade.

Great breakdown! I've built a bunch of HG, and a couple MG and RG. I think RG is my favorite line so far. It has the best mix of size and detail for me.

This is the best breakdown of kit grades so far my favorite kit would have to be the MG. It gives you a bit of everything: Good pricing, detail and it's not too difficult or time consuming. So you can put together a lot of great builds and not give up too much of your time.

[@barbatos7233]

My second gunpla was a PG, and it is honestly my favorite over RG and MG. I love how big and detailed they are and that really scratches that itch in my brain.

Love these kinda content! It allows more folks who are interested to get a clue on what they're looking into. I finally paid an homage to grandad by buying the RG version, just because I've never built a complete RG. Had a Justice RG but couldn't continue due to losing a part of the shoulder.

I was building gunpla for over a decade and a half before buying and assembling my first perfect grade kit: The Perfect Strike Gundam. It was a long build, but it was totally worth it!

[@Markus-zb5zd]

Yeah the PG strikes are all really good

[@dlogic6781]

First gunpla kit was Freedom Gundam ZGMF-X10A MG, given as a gift to me. Let me start by saying as intimidating as this kit was I found my groove and enjoying every minute of it. I have since built multiple HG kits and find it lacking the detail and engineering efficiency that MG provides but still loving them none the less. I just ordered the new RG God Gundam kit hoping to find that sweet middle ground. Im still new to panel lining and when it comes to decals. I just love the fact that even if you have a lower grade gunpla kit you can still beef it up to higher standards of esthetic beauty with customization.

[@djkritical9606]

I started gunpla September of last year. My first build was a RG wing zero and I've only built HG since, so I can only comment on those 2 grades. RG was more fun to build but HG is my go to when I want to get my gunpla fix

I just started last week lol I've only watched the original gundam, and orgin so far. I just started gundam zeta. So char's zaku 2 orgin hg was my first build. Next I have the orgin version of the 78. I want to do mg next though

[@GeorgeK340]

Just finished my first gunpla yesterday. It's MG Duel Gundam with Assault Shroud and it feels so good. Now I'm looking between MG and RG for the next one. The inner frame is fun and cool feature I like which HG doesn't have. I hope they release more IBO or G Witch kits for MG in the future.

My first kit was a high grade quan[t], my second kit that I finished yesterday was a master grade jesta and I loved that build. My next build is probably going to be the real grade hi nu. After watching a few vids on it, the style of it is absolutely beautiful to me and they made it a decent bit bigger than a normal rg. Like right in between a hg and mg in size. So it'll be a perfect size to detail ratio imo, right smack in the middle.

[@yingling69]

Based on this video, I went with the RG Exia as my very first Gunpla build. I had a blast! I do have model building experience, but still made a couple of mistakes due to not understanding some of the instructions. I don’t know what the parts are called, but they were slender, translucent blue plastic not sticker things that went over some of the parts on the thighs and arms. Anyway, it was a good time and hooked me on the hobby. Coming from WH40K, I was amazed at the precision of the parts, the articulation, and not needing a single drop of glue or paint! Since then, I’ve done several HGs and RGs and am in the middle of my first MG build. So far, the RGs are my favorites with the balance between detail, price, and construction time. Thanks for putting this video out! It definitely helped me.

[@deoxys101993]

Glad to hear that you're affiliated now! Keep it up! I'd say my favorite grade is HG, and mostly because its price range can't be beat for builders like me who can't really dish out the money all too readily. However, RGs are growing on me-I have both the RG 00 Qan-[T] and the Nu and while the Quanta is my all-time favorite suit, the Nu has been outright outstanding, and is really making me rethink my love for HGs.

[@jaroniee]

I'm so excited for you to be with HLJ now! Great video as always bro My favorite Gunpla grade is MG because: The scale of Master Grades make it pop up more than a 144th scale does in my opinion. The amount of detail that can be seen within the MG line-up including, articulation gimmicks, decals, panel lines, it's all just great.

[@thequestbro]

I think an important detail you missed is sometimes grade might be overall irrelevant to the person's needs. This guide is extremely useful for people who only snapbuild their gunpla. But some of the older 1/100 or 1/60 no grades are perfect painting kits. Sometimes size is an overall better judge of a kits characteristics over a specific grade.

I only recently discovered about RG. My last Gunpla splurge about around 2007, I stopped buying, by then I had a bit more 100 gunpla, most 1/144 some 1/100, 1/60. I didn't forget about them, I kept in displays and took em out from time to time. Very recently I went into a manga & anime store and saw some gunpla and I went for it, fuck it! That's where I picked up 2 real grades and 5 High grades of new gundam series. I had no idea wtf a RG was, but I finally build one last week, funny enough the same one you used, the Quan T 00. I gota say I was was extremely impressed. This was not enough gunpla for me, so I went ahead and ordered online like 20 HG kits, a couple of of RGs and...yeah 4 Perfect Grades. I do not own any Perfect Grades yet, but I always dreamed of owning some. In my defense, some of the PGs I wanted did not exist yet. This PG exia, I do plan on getting it later, instead I ordered the 2 Gundam 00, the Strike Freedom and the Gundam WIng 0 PG. This last one is amongst my favorite gundams ever. It's good to see videos like these, I don't have many people to talk about gunpla. I finally got a better idea of the different grades. I was only familiar with No grades, which I do own several, HG and MG. Though this doesn't seem to mean much, as you said, I even back in 2007 I bought from different eras and then the ones I bought recently, as you said, I noticed the clear improvements on these kits. I had the Gold Frame Amatsu Mina in several scales and recently saw it had a RG version (BTW by far my favorite gundam ever) and the RG actually has insane amount of details, can't wait to build it.

I started with MG kits as a new comer to gunpla, it felt like a wall at first and I don't have the agility to put in stickers so MG's pros were helping cause they don't need much color corecting. I've finished 2 MG kits and doing a 3rd one (wing 0, Epyon, BLR full mechanic grade and I've got 3 boxes waiting, DX, 00QuanT and Phenex) but I love doing this. It's a change of pace from gaming 24/7.

Hey, I got into Gunpla when the pandemic happened and we were stuck inside way more than usual. It's become a great hobby for me and a great impact on my stress and mental health. I remember doing research on Gunpla as I had no idea these dope Gundam model kits were out there. I think I was only able to find one good video explaining the different Grades. Glad to see a new video on that subject for new people getting into the hobby can find and watch. I think you did a fantastic job explaining and showing the differences and it's good to see there's now at lease 2 really good videos explaining the different grades. Keep up the great work man.

Lovely breakdown and review for each class. Simple, easy to understand with some history behind the gunpla line. Well done mate

[@jpee300]

For me MG hits the sweet spot. - Size is great - Detail level is great - Most importantly --> Decals (water or rub on) Except for the PG I also have no grades, HG and RG. But where possible I buy separate decal sets, because those stickers... With respect to difficulty there should be no hesitation towards any grade. It's mainly the amount of work.

[@nekosimp7751]

my first gunpla was the PG rx-78-2 (old one), and i fell in love with it from that (as well as the show), whilst building it i was like "it would be a dream to own all of these". Its been 7 years since then and im proud to say ive got 10 out of 13 with the other 3 ordered from a supplier for end of year delivery. You can make your dreams come true if believe in yourself. And when say all PGs i mean all base ones, ie i have the Raiser so i dont need seven sword, or i have the unicorn so i dont need all 7 colour variants. I feel like most people want quantity over quality, and i guess thats where the appeal of RG stems from, as you can have more great models for cheaper, that take up less room, and like yourself maybe splash out on a PG or two. But for me its about making each one as special as possible, so i custom paint all my kits, now im even learning to panel scribe to take it to that next level. In saying that, i think i own 17 gunpla models in total (including my PG), but i also build and paint star wars kits and few tanks. im fairly limited by shelf space, so i try to get the most out of each of those projects too. btw i totally get what you mean about the new MGs, ive only built one, the ver ka sazabi and honestly its a better build than most PGs, its not quiet as wow as them but in terms of a fun, non frustrating build with some little transformations and level of detail, it is really top notch. Tho i havent built the PGU yet, that might be better.

I got my first master grade Exia and put it together just fine except the right hand does not hold his sword shield correctly. But it was my first ever and happy with it. Now I'm hooked and looking to get more!

[@sioboy]

I wanted to challenge myself and was able to afford an RG Exia so I went first with it. Then proceeded with 3 HG (Dynames, Kyrios, Virtue), then 2 MG Wing Zero VerKa, RX 78-2 Ver 3.0), then another 2 MG (Ez8 and Ground Type). Now I'm slowly collecting the HG Wing lineup (Wing, Deathscythe, Heavyarms, Sandrock, Shenlong). 😋

I started building in the late 1990s early 2000s. My first Gundam that I had ever built was a perfect grade Altron. Since then I've done other models but now that I've gotten older it's just easier for me to stick with the perfect grades cuz I have problems with my hands and seeing.

[@pedotrain5214]

There is no PG Altron though, maybe you mean the MG 1/100?

[@Gruntpla]

Glad to see you’re posting again!

[@aMillaGunpla]

Trying to post more! I keep getting side tracked and "busy", but I'm working on becoming a better person 😅

[@bvm8214]

Thanks for the video man. Truly appreciate this. I was a big gunpla fan as a kid and did tons of build but lost them. Trying to get back at it as an adult and this was the perfect video to help me out man. Things have sure changed since I was like 11 lol. Got a new subscriber outta me!

[@cheekygrimkel]

Me too! Watched wing on toonami when I was a kid. Saved money to buy HG kits to use as action figures haha. Now I just ordered a HG guncannon that my little boy picked out and giving a MG tallgeese a try, since wing is where it all started. My old man got me into animation as a kid so he's going to pick a kit up and we are going to have a little build party and help the kiddo out.

[@LeBigsou]

I got myself a couple of egs, the strike and the nu Gundam, but now I jumped to an MG wing Gundam ew and I must say, I'm only half way but I'm already excited and happy

[@fen4554]

Tried them all. Started with no grade in the early 90s, went up high grade for all my gundam wing needs. Then I discovered hobbylink japan and the master grade in the late 90s and early 00s. Probably my fondest building memories are with master grade and some good music. Pulled the trigger on a perfect grade zaku II and spent a summer making it. Even though I loved building the internal skeleton with all its moving pistons, the whole build was a slog. Then while posing I had a major break at the hip which is only held by 4 thin pins. One shelf dive later and the arm took a similar break. Stopped for a long while before getting back into the hobby with real grade and I love the detail but the size of the parts is brutal.

[@waysted199]

Been building gunpla off and on for a good chunk of my life. By no means a professional but enjoy the hobby. I Remember my 1st being sandrock it was a no grade very much everything was a sticker, this was back in 99. That evolved into high grade and though I built a ton of those, my fave being jupitive. MG will always be a favorite. Particularly the MG barbatos and the MG unicorn. Real grade I agree with your points on them getting better and I look forward to more improvements but until a few more things get tweaked and obviously better selection, I'll happily stick with MG

[@dinnolinno]

Use to gunpla at a younger age, has always been a passing for me and I’m glad ID hasn’t died with gundam. Just recently pick it back up with my first HG and you guess it right a RX-78.2 lol

[@SoulKageSN3]

I love how inexpensive HG is and how much detail the newer kits have. That said, my fav is RG, followed by full mechanics.

[@lordmoods5706]

MG Kyrios is my first build. I'm going to be getting started this week I'm waiting on some tools. Your channel will be a great resource for me!

[@daniellobo8813]

I own a couple of Master grade kits, had no experience at he moment, made some mistakes, still, no regrets! Apart from Gundams, got 3 Zoids.

[@modestocunningham707]

This was awesome man,totally just started getting into building gundams,ordered the HG strike gundam for my first build! I'm pretty excited for it.

[@N1caea]

My favorite are both the HG because I have a lot of practice in building the models from pieces and RG for looking a little more realistic than I've seen in the HG and MG.

[@knoxx1394]

My First ever Gunpla was MG Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Ver.Ka And i tell ya it was One hell of a Ride had alot of fun!

[@soarproject8724]

One major flaw I think they left out is the glowing of the Gundam eyes with LED’s. It was a major staple of the show, when ever you saw them light up it was a nostalgic feeling. As of right now I’m at RG’s. It’s gonna be a year before even trying MG.

[@DarknoorX]

RG models are always quirky. Like an amplified version. And they're always my favourite.

[@hitsugayat10]

RG is still my favourite due to its size and level of details plus parts separation. Although I don't have all the RG kits, I can assure you that RG kits doesn't have polycaps (I have all the first 10 kits in the series except for aeug MK2 and the subsequent ones are based on my likings). I think RG are much harder to assemble but no matter how experience you are, you can still screw things up like how I broke the waist part of mg zeta 2.0 but built the RG version perfectly LOL

[@moodymemories]

tbh my two favorite grades is HG since they’re always saving space and they’re just a nice little touch to my room and RG since my top 2 are in RG. Plus they’re really solid and they’re the perfect size for me.
