What Is RG?

RG (Real Grade) is Bandai's high-detail 1/144 scale Gundam model kit line, packing Master Grade-level engineering into the compact HG scale. Real Grade kits feature pre-molded inner frames (Advance MS Joint system), extensive color separation with multiple plastic colors per runner, and realistic panel line detail. RG delivers the most detail per dollar of any Gundam grade, appealing to builders who want maximum realism in a display-friendly size.

RG: History and Evolution

Real Grade launched in 2010 with the RG RX-78-2 Gundam, introducing a revolutionary pre-assembled inner frame skeleton at 1/144 scale. Early RG kits were known for intricate detail but sometimes fragile construction. Modern RG kits (from roughly RG Unicorn Gundam onward) have dramatically improved structural integrity while maintaining exceptional detail. The RG Hi-Nu Gundam and RG God Gundam are considered among the finest Gundam kits ever produced at any grade.

How to Choose Your RG

Real Grade kits retail between $25-$45 USD and offer a build experience that punches far above their price. They typically take 3-6 hours to complete. RG kits require careful assembly due to small parts, so basic experience with HG kits is recommended first. The included realistic decals add tremendous detail. RG's 1/144 scale means they display perfectly alongside your HG collection while standing out with their superior detail.
