Released in late 1998, the Perfect Grade series represents the pinnacle of Bandai's model-making technology. It was designed to push the envelope of what was possible with plastic models by introducing kits with the ultimate proportions and posability. Designed for high-end users, the kits are molded in a large 1/60 scale and feature more than 600 parts. However, the easy-to-follow instruction manual allows even beginners to assemble these high-quality kits with ease.

			Originally released in the summer of 1995 under the slogan "build the ultimate Gun-Pla" to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the model kit series. It keeps going strong with continued releases in the 1/100 scale, each incorporating the latest in technology. While boasting excellent articulation and proportions, the kits look great even without painting, making them easy to build even for beginners. In honor of the tenth anniversary of the series in 2005, a series of limited-edition versions were released in Asia. New designs continue to be released in the series, making the Master Grade kits a perfect example of Gun-Pla's ability to change and evolve with the times.

			The highly anticipated HGUC series was released in May of 1999. Created in an easy to collect 1/144 scale, it represented a chance to release versions of many Mobile Suits for the first time in kit form using refined designs and modern injection molding technology. The high quality of the HGUC series makes it the rightful heir of the HG series released in the 1990s. New designs continue to be introduced in the series even today.
