The 1/144 Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 Series (NG0080) is a line of 1/144 scale Gunpla kits of the Mobile Suits from Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.[1] This was the first Gunpla line to cover a Gundam Original Video Animation (OVA) series. Modelers refer to these kits as "Old kits" (旧キット Kyū kitto?) when comparing them to the more recent High Grade Universal Century, Master Grade, and Reborn-One Hundred releases.
In 2001, Bandai reissued these kits in the U.S. and marketed them as "High Grade Action Figure Model Kits" alongside select HGUC kits.
Reissues of these kits can be distinguished from their original releases by their glossy box print (as opposed to the original's matte finish) and inclusion of plastic content information on the box's side flap. The reissues also omit the "ST" mark, as model kits are generally exempted from the requirements of the Japan Toy Association's Safety Toy (ST) Standard. In addition, reissues from 2019 onwards will bear the blue Bandai Spirits logo.

Trivia[]
- This was the first Gunpla line to use the Earth Federation moniker "U.N.T. Spacy", which became the standard name on Gunpla and other related media until 1998, when it was replaced by Earth Federation Space Force (E.F.S.F.).
