Gundam Model Kits | Gunpla

Yes. In Greece you can find Gundam Model Kits (Gunpla) from specialized anime, model kit and collectible stores, such as Nerdom. Availability varies by series and category, with models available for every level of experience, from Entry Grade (EG) and High Grade (HG) to Real Grade (RG), Master Grade (MG) and select Perfect Grade (PG). If you are looking for a specific Gundam or version, it is worth checking availability regularly, as many popular model kits sell out quickly.

Gunpla (Gundam Plastic Models) are plastic models that are assembled by the user, usually without the need for glue. Most kits feature detachable parts, articulated joints and poseability, while many hobbyists choose to paint or customize them with additional details. In contrast, ready-made Gundam figures are delivered already assembled and painted, so they can be displayed immediately in the collection. Gunpla is aimed at those who enjoy the process of construction and customization, while ready-made figures are ideal for collectors who prefer a finished product without assembly.

Gunpla are divided into different categories (grades), so that each modeler can choose the level of detail and difficulty that suits them. High Grade (HG) are ideal for beginners and offer a good balance between detail and ease of assembly. Real Grade (RG) usually have the same scale as HG (1/144), but have a much more complex construction, increased detail and greater flexibility in the joints. Master Grade (MG) are larger, usually in 1/100 scale, with a sophisticated internal skeleton and impressive fidelity in details, aimed mainly at more experienced modelers. Finally, Super Deformed (SD) stand out for their characteristic proportions with a large head and small body, offering a more graceful and stylized version of Gundam, with easy and fun assembly.

For someone just starting out with Gunpla, the Entry Grade (EG) and High Grade (HG) series are the best choices. Entry Grade models are very easy to assemble, usually without tools, and are an ideal introduction to the hobby. High Grade (HG) models offer more detail, a greater variety of designs and joints, while remaining relatively easy to build. If this is your first Gundam model kit, an EG or HG is the best way to get into the world of Gunpla before moving on to more demanding series, such as RG or MG.

Gunpla scales indicate how much smaller the model is compared to the hypothetical size of the Mobile Suit. For example, a 1/144 model is approximately 1/144 the actual size of the Gundam, while a 1/100 is larger and provides more detail. Most High Grade (HG) and Real Grade (RG) models are released in 1/144 scale, while Master Grade (MG) models are usually 1/100, offering larger size, more complex construction, and increased detail.
