Questions about toys for ages 13–17.

What do Gunpla grades like HG, RG, and MG mean?

They describe scale and detail. High Grade (HG) and Real Grade (RG) kits are usually 1/144 scale, with RG adding finer detail, while Master Grade (MG) kits are 1/100 with more parts and an inner frame.

What tools does a teen need for a first model kit?

Most snap-fit kits need only side cutters to remove parts from the runner, plus a hobby file or sanding stick to clean up the marks. Glue and paint are optional for Bandai and Blokees kits.

Are these kits for play or for display?

Many work as both. Articulated figures like Blokees Action Edition and Yolopark AMK can be posed, while larger kits are built mainly for a shelf, so check the product details for articulation and size.
