What changes between MG and PG

This is the enthusiast standard against the flagship. Master Grade at 1/100 is the sweet spot most builders call home: a full inner frame, strong articulation, and a rewarding but manageable build. Perfect Grade at 1/60 goes bigger in every direction, with more engineering, often LEDs and articulated hands, a heavier price, and a longer build. If you want a great build without turning it into an event, MG is the smart buy. If you want the definitive, showpiece version of this suit and will give it the time, PG is the ceiling.

The verdict

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.

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 MG scored 8.3 and the PG scored 8.1 out of 10. Read the full reviews above for the detail behind the numbers.
