Real Grade (RG) 1/144 Gundam Model Kits

Real Grade (RG) was introduced by Bandai in 2010 for the 30th Anniversary of Gunpla, created to deliver Master Grade style detail and engineering at a compact 1/144 scale. Designed as a premium evolution above High Grade, RG kits feature inner frames, advanced articulation, color-separated parts, and surface detailing inspired by real mechanical structure. Early releases used the Advanced MS Joint system for pre-built articulation, while newer kits feature improved stability and refined proportions. Standard RG kits include marking stickers only, with water-slide decals typically reserved for Premium Bandai or special editions. With panel lining and topcoat, RG models provide premium visual impact and a rewarding build experience without needing a large display footprint.

RG 1/144 Gundam Astray Red Frame

Bandai

$34.00

The MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame is a Mobile Suit in the Gundam SEED Astray series of manga, novels, and photonovel. It is operated by Junk Guild member Lowe Guele. The MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame is one of five identical prototype mobile suits developed by Orb using stolen data from the Earth Alliance's G Project. Its original concept was to be an MS that could be piloted by Naturals, and it was eventually loaded with an incomplete Natural-use OS. Most of the technology from the G Project is successfully copied with the exception of Phase Shift armor. In its place, the Gundam Astrays' designers made the machines out of a lighter foam metal compound, with minimal armor over the frame. This made the mobile suits lighter and faster than their G Project counterparts. All five prototype Gundam Astrays are also designed with a backpack that can be lowered to the back skirt armor, allowing the mounting of additional equipment on the back.

Evangelion Unit-03 (エヴァンゲリオン 3号機, "Evangerion Sangōki") is an Evangelion Unit that never sees action before being possessed by Bardiel in Episode 17 of Neon Genesis Evangelion. It was piloted by Tōji Suzuhara. Built by NERV Second Branch in Massachusetts, USA, Evangelion Unit-03 is one of two Units built with the Second Production Model design. It is the brother Unit of Unit-04 (Unit-03 and Unit-04 were oddly the only Evangelions who were addressed as males during the series). The United States government insisted on having the rights to build Unit-03 and Unit-04.A few minor changes were made between the first and second Production Models. Unit-03's color was unique, with much darker plates than any other Evangelion. The head was oddly shaped, too, with a rounded top and exaggerated chin. Unit-03 sports a predominately black color scheme with white and red highlights. It has grey eyes, as evidenced by the freeze-frame play of its destruction. However, when it first activated, red veins could be seen in the eyes of the Evangelion, showing the infection of the angel.  

Real Grade 1/144 Gundam Model Kits (RG)

Real Grade (RG) is Bandai’s premium 1/144 line designed for builders who want the technical depth of Master Grade without the larger footprint. First introduced in 2010 to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Gunpla, the RG series set a new benchmark in miniature plastic engineering by merging the ease of High Grade assembly with sophisticated mechanical design and surface detail.

Developed by Bandai Spirits, the Real Grade lineup features advanced inner frames, realistic panel separation, layered color molding, and sharp mechanical textures that mimic real machinery at a miniature scale. Many releases utilize Bandai’s Advanced MS Joint technology, allowing fully articulated frames straight from the runner for dynamic posing from the very first assembly step.

Ideal for builders stepping up from HG or collectors wanting premium detail in a compact size, Real Grade is where miniature meets masterpiece - impressive on shelf, rewarding to build, and packed with engineering innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Real Grade different from High Grade?

Real Grade (RG) kits are 1/144 scale like HG, but include advanced inner frames, high part density, and fine mechanical detail similar to Master Grade. They feature more articulation and realistic panel separation compared to HG kits.

Who manufactures the Real Grade line?

RG kits are developed and produced by Bandai Spirits, known worldwide for their engineering innovations in Gunpla model kits.

When was the Real Grade series introduced?

Bandai released the Real Grade line in 2010 for the 30th Anniversary of Gunpla, aiming to deliver MG-level detail in a compact scale.

Do Real Grade kits include decals?

Standard RG kits do not include water-slide decals. They come with stickers/marking seals only. Water-slides are usually available through third-party sheets or included in Premium Bandai/Gundam Base/limited edition releases.

Do RG kits require glue or paint?

No glue or paint is required. RG kits are snap-fit and color molded. Customizers often add panel lining, topcoat, and paint to enhance detail.

Are Real Grade kits beginner-friendly?

RG is recommended for intermediate builders. The small parts and inner frame complexity make them more challenging than HG, but rewarding for those with some experience.

What is the Advanced MS Joint?

The Advanced MS Joint is an articulated inner frame system used in early RG kits. Newer releases use refined frame engineering for better stability and articulation.

How tall is a Real Grade model?

Most RG kits stand around 12–15 cm (4.7–6 inches) depending on the mobile suit.

Are RG kits compatible with action bases?

Yes. RG kits work with Bandai 1/144 Action Bases for dynamic and aerial display posing.

Are there premium or exclusive RG releases?

Yes — variants such as Premium Bandai, Gundam Base exclusives, metallic finishes, and special color editions often include upgraded extras like water-slide decals.
