What changes between SD and MG
Different sizes, different intents. Super Deformed is the quick, cheap, big-headed build with tons of personality and almost no fiddly steps. Master Grade is the 1/100 enthusiast kit with a full inner frame and the size to paint and detail properly. SD is the palette-cleanser; MG is the project. Pick by whether you want a fun afternoon or a proper build to sink into.
Get the SD if
you want a quick, cheap, characterful build with loads of personality, or a fun one that a kid can put together without getting frustrated.
Get the MG if
you want size, a full inner frame, and the room to panel line, paint, and pose the suit properly. It is the enthusiast sweet spot and the grade most builders grow into.
