Perfect Grade (PG) kits represent the absolute pinnacle of Bandai's engineering. At 1/60 scale (roughly 12 inches tall), they feature hundreds of parts, working metal pistons, LED lighting systems, and fully articulated fingers.
If you're ready to tackle the ultimate challenge, here are our top 5 Perfect Grade recommendations:
1. PG Unleashed RX-78-2
A revolutionary kit. It features metal parts, multiple layers of inner frames, magnetic hatches, and RGB LEDs. It is arguably the greatest model kit ever manufactured.2. PG Exia (Lighting Model)
The Exia’s inner frame channels light strips throughout the entire body to replicate the GN particles from the anime. Watching the LEDs cycle from green to red (Trans-Am) is mind-blowing.3. PG Strike Gundam
Despite its age, the PG Strike remains legendary for its articulation. It can easily strike dynamic, human-like poses without armor getting in the way.4. PG Unicorn Gundam
A massive shelf presence. The complex mechanical transformation sequence from Unicorn mode to Destroy mode, exposing the glowing psycho-frame, is a marvel of engineering.5. PG Astray Red Frame
Famous for its incredibly detailed, exposed inner frame and its massive, chrome-plated Gerbera Straight katana. It’s one of the most visually striking PGs on the market.Related Dispatches
