Every Grade, Every Era, One Collection

Gunpla, Bandai's Gundam plastic model kit line, spans five main grades and dozens of individual Gundam series, and Rivals Corner's collection covers the full breadth of it. New to the hobby? Entry Grade and High Grade are the natural starting points, no glue, no paint, straightforward assembly. Ready for more detail? Real Grade, Master Grade and Perfect Grade step up the complexity and realism, each with its own devoted following.

Beyond grade, the Series filter on this page covers nearly every Gundam era: the original 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, Gundam Wing, Gundam SEED and its many spin-offs, Iron-Blooded Orphans, the Witch from Mercury, and dozens more. Whichever show brought you into the hobby, there's almost certainly a dedicated corner of this collection for it.

New here and not sure where to start? Entry Grade [EG] and High Grade [HG] are the two most common jumping-off points. Already know your grade and just want a specific series? Use the Series filter above to jump straight there, Master Grade [MG], Real Grade [RG], Perfect Grade [PG] and Super Deformed [SD] all have their own dedicated pages too if you'd rather browse by build style than by show.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gunpla?

Gunpla (a contraction of "Gundam plastic model") is Bandai's line of model kits based on the Gundam franchise. Kits range from simple, beginner-friendly builds through to highly detailed premium releases, spanning nearly every Gundam TV series and film made since 1979.

What grade of Gunpla should I start with?

Entry Grade or High Grade are the standard starting points, both use simple, glue-free assembly. Entry Grade is slightly simpler again, aimed at complete first-timers. From there, Real Grade, Master Grade and Perfect Grade each step up detail and part count.

Do I need special tools to build Gunpla?

Most kits are snap-fit and need no glue or paint to complete. A basic pair of nippers for cleanly removing parts from the sprue is the one tool most builders pick up early, everything else (panel liners, paints, display stands) is optional. Tools & Supplies and Accessories cover both.

Which Gundam series has the most kits available?

It varies by what's currently in stock, but mainline eras like the original Mobile Suit Gundam (0079), Gundam SEED, and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury are consistently among the best-represented series in this collection.

Is Rivals Corner based in the UK?

Yes, based in London. Visit us or free tracked UK shipping applies on orders over £99.
