ULTIMATE GUIDE HOW TO CHOOSE GUNDAM KITS THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU (PART 2) Gundam in Singapore is getting interesting tractions. While gunpla is the first choice of gundam Singapore enthusiasts, those who are new in the world of gundam do get confused when it comes to buying a new gundam kit. Many people who read the first part of this guide have reached out and asked if this guide is relevant only for those looking to buy gundam kit in Singapore or anyone looking to buy gundam can use the same. Before we get into the actual nitty gritty of gundam grades and scales, Let me re-affirm the fact that the information presented here is absolutely appropriate for anyone, whether Singapore gundam enthusiast or anyone around the world.
UNDERSTANDING THE GUNPLA GRADE AND SCALE SYSTEM. An important step in picking a gundam kit that is most right for you is understanding the Gunpla grade and scale system. There are 5 existing Gunpla kit grades that you can buy in the market. They are the High Grade (HG), Master Grade (MG), Perfect Grade (PG), Real Grade (RG), and the Super Deformed Grade (SD), respectively.
Let’s
talk about each grade in detail.
High Grade 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. HG kits are vast and one of the most affordable grades available aside from the Super Deformed kits. High Grade kits have two scales: 1/144 which is around 13 cm tall depending on the model. Some models are a little bit taller like Sinanju and Sazabi, while some HG models are somewhat shorter like Exia. 1/144 kits are nice to collect and display because they occupy less space than Master Grade or Perfect Grade kits.
Some of the firsttimers looking to buy gundam in Singapore get confused because both of these HG gundam kits look same. The ability to pose models has been improved over the years. In older High Grade models during the 90s, the articulation HG kits were limited but satisfactory, but in recent years, Gunpla technology has advanced a lot and articulation of newer HG kits are superb to the point of being comparable or equal to that of Master Grade kits! High Grade kits are suitable for everyone, and it’s usually where first time Gunpla hobbyists start whether those newbies looking to buy gundam in singapore or around the world.
Master Grade Master grade (MG) kits are the next level up from HG kits, and while more expensive, the payoff 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. Master Grade kits only have the 1/100 scale which are usually around 18 cm tall. Some recent MG kits are much larger like the
MG 1/100 Freedom Gundam Ver. 2.0 MG kits have the “MG� abbreviation on the box art, which is colored gold so that you don’t miss the labelling. The kit box sizes vary depending on the number of assembly parts with the largest being from models like Master Grades are recommended for the enthusiastic Gunpla modeler/hobbyist, who crave more detail on their models. MG kits requires more effort and work but the payoff is wonderful. Ok, so we have still covered two grades and hence the 3 are remaining. Rest of the grades and scales shall be discussed in third and the final part. most beginners at this point know what they have to buy as the rest of the three are a bit complex and usually recommended for somewhat advance users.
