What changes between HG and PG

These bracket almost the entire hobby. High Grade is the small, affordable, evening-length build. Perfect Grade is the 1/60 flagship: huge, engineering-heavy, frequently LED-lit, and a project you remember finishing. An HG is easy to say yes to on a whim. A PG is a deliberate, expensive commitment that becomes the anchor of a shelf. Choose by how much time, money, and love you want to put into this specific suit.

The verdict

Get the HG if

you want this suit affordably, want to finish it in an evening or two, or plan to build several kits without breaking the bank. It is the easy, everyday yes.

Get the PG if

this is a grail suit for you and you have the budget, the bench time, and the shelf space for a 1/60 flagship, often with LEDs and articulated fingers, that becomes the anchor of a collection.

We have built and graded both: the HG scored 7.3 and the PG scored 8.1 out of 10. Read the full reviews above for the detail behind the numbers.
