I really love the RG line because of its cheap price! not only that it is cheap, it's because you can get more details and more articulation VS the MG and PG line. in 1/144 Scale model kit, you get awesome surprises! like stunning color separation of the colors of the plastic (ex. Char's Zaku has 2 shades of Pink and Red) to add up more details. The kit also has variety of decals that you can apply on the kit to make it more appealing.
The RG (REAL Grade) is a new line that was first released in 2010
Price Range: 2,500 - 3,000 Yen
I am looking forward on completing the series ASAP. I am also looking forward for more RG kits in the future! Wing Gundam Series should be in RG and more grunt units from Universal Century series!
