The 1/144 Victory Gundam Model Series (NGVG) is a line of Gunpla kits of the Mobile Suits from the Mobile Suit Victory Gundam series released in 1993. The kits featured the "V-Frame" system where the skeletal torso frame could be "sandwiched" between the two runners containing the front and rear halves of the torso armor before being cut off its runner; this system was also used in the 1/48 scale Mega Size Model line. Each kit (except the Zollidia and V2 Buster Gundam) came with a display stand and a postcard-sized diorama illustration.[1]
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. 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.
