Honorable Mention: Gundam Pixy (Premium Bandai), GM Sniper II, Gundam MK-II, and RX-78-2 (both Origin or Revive version) I seriously cannot put G40 into this list, because it just looked way too weird and I don't plan to buy it at all...

[@slippinjenny7410]

Thoughts on Moon Gundam or Beyond Global RX78-2?

[@zethythonix]

SlipperyJimmy Moon Gundam is nice but I kinda considered it as a RG, the details and colours and price was way beyond a Normal HG. Plus I don’t have it so I can’t say it. Beyond Global Rx78 is nice tho, but I don’t like the redesign of the Graddaddy.

My favorite : 1. Moon gundam, no stickers, color is awesome, the articulation is awesome, and good gimmicks, the only minus for me is the price, it's almost twice the price of normal hg because it's a premium bandai 2. Earthree gundam, nice gimmick and the articulation is good enough

[@srntnjl523]

the moon gundam is actually not a p-bandai kit (the varguil is), and while it is expensive for an hg, you do get an action base 5 included so it's not really a big minus IMO

i recommend HG messer, it is as big as RG sazabi and it look awesome.

[@MikhailKaminsky299]

Good choices all around. As a builder, I have two kinds of kits I build from time to time. Custom builds and straight builds just to get that fast instant gratification because the custom works take a long time. So these choices of your are perfect for the straight builds and you dont have to stress so much about anime accurate colors.

[@zethythonix]

Thank you

[@Tibruk64]

I love that you put the list in the description. Thank you

[@jasonex4027]

Thank you so much! I have a bunch of kits, all of them HG and three RG, and the quality of some is amazing and they look outstanding out of the box, polished, pannel lined and coated, but others... need a bunch of horrible stickers, have awful color separation or plastic finish, and need to be painted or really changed to look decent; not to talk about seamlines and haing to glue with Mr Cement and such (thinks I do, but I'd rather not...). That's why lists such as yours are so helpful.

[@porkflaps4717]

Lemme just say ALL TR-1 to TR-6 AoZ kits and the many TTT variants that can be made, for my money makes them head and shoulders above almost everything. It's all modular. With ease you can make many awesom MS that are UC canon, but you can't buy them. Where else are you gonna find that ability? I'm currently building a TR-6 Hizack 2 and once I pick up a Messala, I'm going to have a TR-1 that FEW people have. That Galbaldy Beta is a really nice kit. We need a High Mobility TTT version already.

[@EpicBlargman]

My top Five HG kits have to be: HGUC Dendrobium (yes the massive one i own it) HG Meteor Unit + Freedom Gundam (Dont own it yet but will be getting it soon) HGUC Penelope and Xi Gundam (I own both) HGUC Psycho Gundam (Almost as big as my PG GP-01!) I like the HG kits that are so massive they tower over MG kits

[@Doublenyher]

Have you built the HGAC Leo or the HGI-BO Gundam Barbatos Lupus? I heard those were really good HG kits.

[@zethythonix]

Doublenyher Hey there mate, I got two HGAC Leo and honestly it’s a bit disappointing, waist and legs were ball joint and sloppy as hell, not fun to pose with it. For the IBO, I got no love to that series so I refused to build any of it.

[@-blank-5767]

Have you built da HG Barbatos Lupus Rex it’s not a bad kit but it does hav some issues

[@srntnjl523]

If you're not a fan of the oversized arms and feet, replacing said parts with those from the barbatos lupus actually makes for a "more proportionate" lupus rex... kind of a warrior mode IMO

I too am rather lazy and I have yet to dive into painting so I can appreciate good color separation out of the box. Especially since I do prefer the size of HG’s over MG’s so that’s what I mainly build. I also definitely agree with the HGCE options. Everything I’ve built from that line has impressed me for high grades. Sure they lack some detail on the armor, but that doesn’t bother me much. They definitely improved over the original HG seed kits a ton.

[@Simon-hz7jl]

Thank you for this list! Was interested in Hg aile earlier today and might just pick it up! Just one question: Do you think HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 3 is as good as the ground gundam? (Standard release)

[@zethythonix]

Mmmmmm, Blue Destiny Unit 3 is good too, but just the stickers looks really bad on the backpack

[@Simon-hz7jl]

Zethythonix Is that so....Ground Gundam it is then! Thanks again for answering too!

[@charlesvincentformoso3379]

Destiny ✅ Infinite Justic✅ Try Burning, I got the one with the sword but close enough Sandrock, I have the kit but didn’t build it yet But my overall favorite HG kits are mostly the IBO line, they’re not perfect and they can share the same flaws, but I love the unique designs like the Barbatos (Lupus Rex), Gusion (Rebake Full City) and the Flauros My Best HG I own is the Xi Gundam. It’s big, a simple and enjoyable build, yet pricey

[@maku-vi1ic]

There's a trick on the wire of the infinite justice, Just twist it like a telephone wire and its done

I've only built 13 gundams and the HG Ground type is definitely top 3 for me. Looks so good in a kneeling position with it's big gun setup.

[@MusicFan752]

Anyone know how to keep the blue parts of the try burning from falling off the arms??? They keep falling off the forearms and I don’t really want to glue it on.

It happens very easily, we can’t do much about it since plastic model kit are not meant for switching parts in a frequent way.

IMO you should go with the Barbatos Lupus. It's the best IBO HG out of the box. Only problem though is that you only get a single weapon unless you buy the IBO option set 5 You can also try the grimgerde if you're into non-grunt and/or non-gundam type, another one of the best HG IBO kits out of the box

My top three hg gunpla is First, Astaroth origin, for god sake this kit really deserve a name of Duke of hell Astaroth. All accessory can be put on, articulation is good(not perfect but also not bad), and the red colour is look perfect on him. The only down side of this kiddo is a big gray sticker that can be erased by some easy painting cause it was on flat place and simple colour. Next the second is, Atlas. The gunpla that give you a freedom of pose with a crazy Articulation. A good accessory, a cool look,, and the last is crazy Articulation. Really... Want a freedom to pose your gunpla? This is what you are looking for. The only down side of this guys is a hell correcting sticker, but look even without it he already look great. And next the third gunpla I like is, moon Gundam..... Really this doesnt look like hg level at all. A good Articulation, a good detail, a cool look, and top at all perfect colour separation with no sticker on it. Really... The only downside of this guy is only coming from his bulky armor that come from it original design. So no problem at all if you asking me.
