High Grade Build Custom (HGBC) (ハイグレード ビルドカスタム Haigurēdo Birudo Kasutamu?) is a line of plastic scale upgrade/modification parts kits for Gunpla from Gundam Build Fighters, Gundam Build Fighters Try, Gundam Build Fighters Try Island Wars, Gundam Build Fighters: GM's Counterattack, Gundam Build Fighters: Battlogue, Gundam Build Divers, and other 1/144 scale Gunpla mobile suits of the Gundam metaverse.
It should be noted that some of these kits, if not all, may be included in the High Grade Build Fighters and High Grade Build Divers sets but are sold separately to allow customization of other lines. It should also be noted that some of these kits may not be compatible with High Grade kits made before 1999.
Following the reorganization of Bandai Namco Group, box covers of reissue and future release of kits from September 2018 onwards feature a blue Bandai logo instead of the original red logo, while releases and reissues from mid-2022 onwards further feature the Bandai Namco logo on the lower right corner above the model's name.
