What Is MG?

MG (Master Grade) is Bandai's premium 1/100 scale Gundam model kit line, featuring detailed inner frames, extensive color separation, and exceptional articulation. Master Grade kits represent the sweet spot between complexity and accessibility, offering a deeply satisfying build experience with results that rival pre-built collectibles. The larger 1/100 scale allows for significantly more detail than HG kits, including internal mechanical structures visible through armor panels.

MG: History and Evolution

The Master Grade line debuted in 1995 with the MG RX-78-2 Gundam, revolutionizing Gundam model kits by introducing fully detailed internal skeletons. Over nearly three decades, Bandai has released hundreds of MG kits with steadily improving engineering. Modern MG kits feature MG Ver.Ka designs by legendary mechanical designer Hajime Katoki, known for their refined proportions and premium decal sheets. Milestone releases include the MG Freedom Gundam 2.0, MG Barbatos, and MG Eclipse Gundam.

How to Choose Your MG

Master Grade kits retail between $45-$80 USD and typically take 6-12 hours to complete. They require basic tools: nippers, hobby knife, and optionally sandpaper. MG kits are ideal for builders who have completed a few HG kits and want a more rewarding challenge. The included water-slide decals and detailed manual make each build an immersive experience. For display, Action Base stands (sold separately) allow dynamic aerial poses.
