Perfect Grade (PG) ( パーフェクトグレード, Pāfekuto Gurēdo ) is a series of 1/60 scale kits created by Bandai. The PG line originated with the release of the Perfect Grade Evangelion EVA-01 in 1997. The line was later transferred to the Gundam franchise in 1998 and was exclusive to Gundam until 2017, when Bandai announced the Perfect Grade 1/72 scale Millennium Falcon for the Star Wars franchise. The PG line has significant external and internal details plus light up gimmicks with LEDs. The PGs are some of the most expensive Gunpla produced and have often been used to develop and technology. This article covers only the Gundam releases.
Size chart guide - each notch is 4cm Bandai produces several different kinds of Gundam model kits, which are classified into different Grades. 1/144 High Grade HG Gundam kits (and also HGUC, for High Grade Universal Century) kits are 1/144 in scale, meaning that am 18 metre tall Gundam will stand approximately 12.5 (5 inches) centimetres tall. High Grade kits are moulded in the right colours, so they don't require any painting, and are all snap fit. You can always improve the appearance of your model by painting it though, and the kits come with detailing decals. Although they have a good range of movement, these kits aren't as poseable as their MG or RG counterparts.
