Hello Mecha i dont know if you built an hg acguy sometime but its a really good kit even though its old (give us thunderbolt version bandai) it was my first gunpla back in the days and its what got me into the hobby, Otherwise the old 1/144 and 1/100 kits from the 80ths are supergreat models to make custom out of. Some of them looks different from the new ones but thats what makes them so great, so you should do one of those sometime and put your magic to it. I highly recommend the old juagg as a base ^^ i used parts from the hi mock and acguy parts to make mine and i think thats my favorite gunpla i built so far

HG is really nice nowadays, I used to only buy hg too cause its all i can afford, but now, that i can afford MGs, I still return to HG cause how simplistic and easy to mod they are. Well, some MG(albeit old ones) are kind of affordable, some even cheaper than HG moon gundam in my country. But be very aware that they are old, they might not be very articulated, but they are nice and detailed, such as MG dom, MG gp01s....well its still 2-3x the price of your typical economic hg(e.g hg revive rx, leos, fine build systems hgs)but I think they are nice for the price. But yeah, if most of your collections are in 1/144 scale, might as well migrate to RGs when you can afford it just to keep it uniform in scale. But personally, HG is still my favourite line due to how complete the line is. Lesser known ms such as geminass, plutone, and msv machines which are kind of hard to get MG, all got nice HGs. Forgot to add that some HGs are leaps and bounds better than the MG counterpart, such as ground gundam, gundam unit 4&5, gouf custom, etc.

Well done Mecha! Great work and good luck for the next 300 lol. 😉 Wanted to say also that my preference is RG's however since the scale is the same I have a lot of fun (attempting) to sometimes detail a good HG, trying to bring them up a notch visually which has also helped some of my modelling skills overall, im not super anal but I enjoy the approach and think it's not too big a challenge with more modern HG's at least and not too risky with a less expensive kit as opposed to what you said you used to do with 1/100's to work with your MG's. 😎

The HG The Origin Bugu. It is honestly the best high grade ever. Perfect material, near-limitless poseability, justice for mono-eye, vivid, lush coloration, incredibly robust inner frame, beautiful cat-whisker face, embarassingly generous surface detail, and full compatibility with all the Origin accessories. I would encourage everyone to indulge in the HG Bugu. I understand your reasoning for the gradual reversal on the G40, but ever since seeing the "Don't Stop 'till You Get Enough" gunpla dance video, I've had endless admiration for the audacity of the design. It's wildly different and unique, and you're right that calling it a "High Grade" is a complete misnomer. It's almost "concept grade". Finally, I have to cape for the HG Turn A. I know everyone's always over the moon about its MG model, but the HG Turn A is like absolutely nothing else. And they capture those beautiful Syd Mead curves with a level of poetry and elegance I didn't think possible at this scale.

For me my absolute favorite, it has gotta be the Xi Gundam, and the Moon Gundam. For the first time I felt that not using any polycaps was actually really nice. The engineering on those two are just superb, they don't really need any stickers and are extremely sturdy, well except for Moon's floppy psycho plates, I mean, they stay together pretty well, but they flop, and it's giving me the MG Nu Gundam Ver ka. ptsd... Aside from that, they just look so damn good and presentable OOB, heck I didn't even panel line either of them and they still look fantastic. In fact, I'm thinking of picking up the Xi VS Penelop effect suit because the Xi Gundam is just way too good to be in only 1 form (for my current one, I'm having it in flight form). Plus the decals that came with it, also having the Penelope is an extra plus. Edit: I'm using "For the first time" because HG Farsia absolutely sucked, maybe I was an amateur when I built it back when it first released, the ball joints for the legs and hands loosened up and now she's flopping like an actual Woody doll. In other words, the HG Farsia definitely did not Age well.

The Moon Gundam is FANTASTIC!!! It was a ton of fun to build and that plastic is smooth. Most of my favorites fall into the Origins line. I love all of the Origins Zaku that I've built, and I'd have to say my favorite kit in my collection is probably the RX-78-2 Origins version. It's so posable and all of those weapon options are awesome. However, I was not a huge fan of the Origins Guntank. That kit frustrated me to no end, brittle parts and a repetitive build. I enjoyed building the HG Guncannon as well. Sort of an outdated kit, but a fun build with a surprising amount of posing potential. Ohhh... One of my least favorites was the HG Banshee Norn... that thing is a brick full of loose joints. The Narrative Gundam was a let down too.

I know it doesn't really fit into your criteria, but I think the graze is awesome because of the number of variants, as well. You can have some basic army ones and then have them with commanders, which I think looks cool for a display.

I only do 144 scale for space but also because I knew I would do a lot of HG because there is more variety and I want my gunpla collectionto be a single constant size. I haven't built enough yet to make a list but I was surprised the revive Chars Zaku II didn't make it for more mono eye love and that clever rubber skirt.

I painted the HGUC Phenex Narrative version plain finish with Tamiya spray can gold last summer... and handbrushed all the non-colour-separated grey parts. Lots of work, but looks OK. Definitely not one of my favorites, but it has its place next to the HG Sinanju Stein, which IS one of my favorites. As a pair, I enjoyed them.

I’m surprised the Moon gundam wasn’t first place for HG’s you like, along with other good ones not here like the HGCE Aile Strike Gundam and HGUC RX-78-2 The Origin vers, two kits i feel are solid and amazing HG’s. Though some of the good ones you listed look very interesting, definitely feel like picking up that HGUC Messer Type-F01 for my first mono-eye kit!

11:00 "Or if you're very very desperate [...] you could get the robot damashii" Hey as a Damashii/MB collector I resent that lol. Aside from the higher price (typically) the only thing you're really missing is the build experience. But that build is really fun so I do find myself tempted occasionally to build kits again.

Most of my gunpla are in storage so I don’t remember what I actually have. With that said, these are my favorites just not in any particular order. Neo Zeong Unit 2 - It’s a behemoth of a kit just like the Unit 1 but I love that color scheme. The HG Sinanju Stein Narrative has held together really well. I even put the sleeve stickers on it and they haven’t peeled off. Narrative Gundam (Psychoframe) - It’s a little floppy at the waist but that clear pink plastic makes it stand out on the shelf. Zaku II Origin - It’s a great modern version of the Zaku II Ground Gundam - A simple but great looking kit. Barbatos Lupus - Probably my only Iron Blooded Orphan Gundam that has held together really well. The others are a floppy mess.

Hard to say what of the ones I have are top 5 for me, but I will say that the Gouf Custom and Heavyarms are in there. Heavyarms is my fave Wing suit and I have loved the MS-07B3 ever since it appeared in 08th MS Team. I also really like my Zaku 2 F2 kit too. It's the one from Stardust Memory.

I have to say I'm kinda surprised I didn't actually see _any_ Gundam The Origin kits on this list. The different versions of the Zaku II actually totally changed my opinion of the Zaku design itself (and I went and bought FOUR--three green and 1 Char variant) after the glowing reviews from THIS VERY CHANNEL! The Messer sounds too good to be true, but the The Origin Zakus will probably be my favorite monoeye kits for a looooong time. I'm also frankly shocked none of the (shudder) *Gundam Girls* made the bad list, but then again I think they're all technically Build kits of a sort...
