The Real Grade (RG) line offers a significant step up in mechanical detail from the standard HG kits.

They are perfect for the dedicated Gundam fan who wants maximum visual fidelity and articulation without diving into the extreme difficulty of Master Grade kits.
help Bandai Spirits Robot Spirits (RG Line) FAQ
What scale are Bandai's Real Grade (RG) Gunpla kits?
All kits in the RG line are manufactured at a strict 1/144 scale, matching the compact size of the entry-level High Grade line. Despite their small stature, they pack an incredible amount of mechanical detail and parts separation.
Do RG model kits feature an internal skeleton frame?
Yes, a defining characteristic of the Real Grade line is the Advanced MS Joint internal frame, which provides immense structural stability and articulation. This allows builders to pose the highly detailed outer armor in ways that High Grades cannot support.
What was the first Real Grade Gunpla ever released?
Bandai Spirits launched the RG line in 2010 with the release of the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam. This inaugural kit established the standard for incorporating Master Grade-level engineering into a smaller, 1/144 scale form.
Are RG kits harder to build than High Grade kits?
RG kits are generally more complex and delicate than High Grade kits, requiring careful nub removal due to the dense parts separation on smaller pieces. They are best suited for intermediate builders who have experience using hobby nippers and panel lining.
