Welcome to the World of Gundam Models at Kicks Generation Toys

Gundam model kits, also known as Gunpla (short for Gundam Plastic Models), have become one of the most exciting and creative hobbies for anime fans, builders, and collectors around the globe. Whether you're brand new to the scene or a seasoned builder, Kicks Generation Toys is your one-stop shop for the best Gundam models on the market.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essentials—from choosing the right Gunpla grade to must-have kits for your collection.


What Are Gundam Models (Gunpla)?

Gunpla are scale model kits based on the iconic Mobile Suit Gundam anime series. Unlike regular action figures, these models come unassembled, giving you the opportunity to build, customize, and display your very own mecha.

The best part? No glue or paint is required for most kits—just a pair of nippers and a passion for building!


Understanding Gunpla Grades: Which Gundam Kit Is Right for You?

One of the most common questions we get at Kick's Generation Toys is: What’s the difference between the grades of Gundam kits?

Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Entry Grade (EG) – 1/144 scale
    Beginner-friendly, no tools required. A great starting point for kids and newcomers to the hobby.
  • High Grade (HG) – 1/144 scale
    Perfect for beginners. These kits are affordable, easy to build, and have solid articulation. Ideal for casual builders or first-timers.
  • Real Grade (RG) – 1/144 scale
    The same size as HG, but with intricate details and inner frame mechanics. Great for intermediate builders who want more realism.
  • Master Grade (MG) – 1/100 scale
    A step up in size and complexity. MG kits offer detailed inner frames, articulation, and better color separation. A must-have for serious hobbyists.
  • Perfect Grade (PG) – 1/60 scale
    The pinnacle of Gunpla engineering. These massive, intricate kits are for advanced builders looking for a high-end display piece.

Tips for Building Your Gunpla

Here are some quick tips to make your Gunpla journey even more enjoyable:

  1. Invest in a quality pair of plastic nippers – clean cuts make for a cleaner build.
  2. Use a hobby knife to remove leftover nub marks.
  3. Take your time and enjoy the process – Gunpla is all about patience and creativity.
