High Grade Universal Century

High Grade Universal Century (HGUC) is a line of Gunpla kits of the Mobile Suits from the Universal Century timeline in the Gundam meta series. First produced in 1999, the line supplanted normal HG kits such as the HG RX-78-2 Gundam. The kits are known for their ease of construction and generous use of polycaps and tinted plastic for details such as visual sensors, monoeyes and beam saber effect parts. The normal scale for these models is 1/144, but exceptions have been made for Mobile Armors. Starting in 2010. the HGUC line extended to the After Colony, After War, Future Century, Cosmic Era and Correct Century timelines with the HGAC, HGAW, HGFC, HGCE and HGCC lines respectively, and in commercials had been dubbed "HG All Gundam". Whereas the HGUC box packaging uses a gold stripe on the side panels, the alternate timeline kits are distinguished by the silver stripe on their boxes.

Do note that while High Grade Build Fighters and High Grade Gunpla Builders may utilize previous HGUC molds, they are considered separate product lines.
