Guide for Gift Givers: Launched in 2010, Real Grade is one of the Gunpla family’s newest grades, taking ease of assembly from High Grade, but also the increased complexity of Master Grade. Skill-wise, they are more difficult than High Grade models but less difficult than Master Grade. A good intermediate build.

RG Wing Zero Custom

What would the holiday season be without an angel to bring you good tidings of Gunpla? The RG Wing Zero Custom is the perfect gift for that special someone who wants a really detailed Gunpla with some amazing poseability…just don’t invite Heero Yuy over after they build it!

RG Destiny Gundam

Winged and long-limbed, the models from Gundam Seed are some of the most elegant in the Gundam canon, so it’s no wonder they’re fan favorites. Like most Real Grade kits, Destiny uses the Advanced MS Joint System and a stand to allow for distinctive mid-air poses.

RG Z’Gok Char Custom

One of our favorite factoids about iconic Gundam antihero Char is his insistence on painting each of his mobile suits a lavish red. His aquatic model, the Z’Gok, is no different. Durable and sturdy, it’s one of the most solid kits in the RG line.

RG Justice Gundam

This ruby red model is one of the most detailed Real Grades in the line, replete with stickers and tiny detail parts for additional realism. Perfect for fans of Gundam Seed Destiny and its most iconic mobile suit.

RG Gundam Mk II (Titans)

In Gundam Zeta, the Gundam changes hands between sides. This depicts the Gundam resplendent in its Titans color palette, the way our hero Kamille first finds it. (Later, he brings it over to the AEUG, and it is repainted to more familiar colors.) The combination of traditional form and unusual paint job make this a unique pick.
