Best Figure Model Kits of 2025

"The engineers at Bandai have truly outdone themselves with this line. The intricate details really set it apart from others and it's definitely worth adding to my collection. Plus, it was easy to build!"

"I appreciate that the kit includes a shield equipped on the right shoulder, which showcases high-density detail on both the front and back."

"I love every inch of this kit. Building took a few hours, but that's part of the fun for me. While the kit requires some paint work, it really pays off. The details in the armor are stunning, and the articulation is surprisingly good for a model kit. Overall, I had a blast with it!"

"This is the first model kit I painted, and I'm quite happy with the results. The building process was straightforward, and the molded details look great. However, I found that some of the decals don't stick well, and painting is essential for the best appearance. The articulation is decent, but the wrist movement is a bit limited."

"I've built several Bandai kits, and this one is among the best. The instructions are easy to follow, making it accessible even for beginners. The figure is beautifully detailed and fully articulated, which allows for great posing. I appreciate the choice of decals, and you can achieve a stunning look without extensive painting."

"This was my first figure model painting kit, and I really appreciate the hints and instructions in the booklet. The figures are very detailed and fun to paint! The only downside was the paint was past its expiration date, but it seems to be working fine anyway."

"As a teenager wanting to start collecting Warhammer, this has been a good start for building skills. The book/guide included is pretty helpful, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in starting their journey."

"I had a lot of fun building and painting this set. It's a great place to start for anyone looking to get into the hobby!"

“I found this to be a rare piece that I wish Bandai would reprint more often. The assembly was easy, and though it's quite small, it's still a great gunpla.”

“The kit arrived quickly and in great condition. I was thrilled to finally find this kit, and everything was well accounted for. The box had some minor dents, but that’s okay for me. I can’t wait to pair it with the God Gundam. I definitely recommend it for beginners!”

“Building this kit was an easy and enjoyable experience for me. It even came with its own stand, which I was able to share with the God Gundam. The only drawback is that the feet can pop out during movement. Overall, I'm really pleased with how it turned out!”

"I heard from a YouTube reviewer that this kit may not be reissued frequently, so I decided to buy it while the price is still affordable. I'm looking forward to building this highly detailed HG 1/144 Gunpla and adding it to my anime collection!"

"Building this kit was a really enjoyable experience, and I think it's perfect for both newcomers and experienced builders alike."

"This kit is very detailed and ideal for panel lining. I had a lot of fun with it, and I highly recommend it!"

“As a first-time RG model builder, I'm blown away by the amazing details. Every color is a separate piece, which is fantastic! Though I had a couple of minor issues with some parts popping off, it's still a highly recommended kit for EVA fans.”

“I recently ventured into Gunpla with this kit and found the building process to be a welcome challenge. Despite some parts being tricky to keep in place, the final product is impressive. I was pleasantly surprised by how much detail is packed in!”

“I bought this as a gift, and it exceeded my expectations. The quality and details are just great! It was a bit complex, but that added to the overall enjoyment of the build.”

"As someone new to Gundam models, I found this kit to be amazing for beginners. Having experience with Warhammer 40K/Sigmar, I was impressed by the quality! The build took me about an hour and the instructions were simple and thorough. No glue was needed, which was a plus!"

"I decided to try my hand at model building and found the instructions to be very easy to follow. I managed to complete the model in about four episodes of Seinfeld. It was a fun experience!"

"I recently got into Gundam and had my eye on this specific model. It’s durable and only took about an hour to build, making it super fun to play with afterwards!"

"I don't even know where to start! The Unicorn Gundam has become my favorite Gundam to date! Witnessing it at this scale was irresistible. Though it was a bit pricey, the final product is marvelous! With my experience in building Gunpla kits, from 144 scale to this massive 48 scale, it took me about 2.5 hours to assemble, and every minute was worth it. This is definitely a great addition to any Gundam collection!"

"As a first-time Gundam builder, I absolutely loved this experience. Having built models years ago, I was excited to try this kit. The building process was so different from the low-quality kits I used to work with. All you need are small flush cut pliers and an Xacto for cleanup. While some may prefer to get fancy with paint and decals, I just wanted to enjoy the building. This is definitely an impressive kit, and if you enjoy LEGO Technic, you'll likely love this too!"

"This was a really enjoyable build! The final product is impressive and it was a relaxing process that took about 2-3 hours. While it may not have the same range of motion as some smaller kits, it still holds up well. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a great display piece!"

“I found this kit to be simply amazing. The quality of the parts is solid, and it feels great to pose. Transforming from Unicorn to Destroy mode is straightforward, but I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners due to the small parts and numerous decals.”

“This was my first Real Grade model kit, and I had a lot of fun building it. The transformation isn’t as tedious as I expected, and it looks fantastic when completed, especially in destroy mode.”

“I absolutely love the transforming capability of this model! Although some parts were a bit loose initially, I managed to fix them easily. Overall, it’s a great kit, but it does require a bit of patience and precision during assembly.”
