Master Grade Super Deformed (MGSD)
MGSD (Master Grade Super Deformed) is a premium hybrid line that combines the playful, chibi proportions of SD kits with the engineering quality, articulation, and detail of Master Grade models. Released by Bandai as a new flagship SD line, MGSD kits bring advanced mechanisms, detailed part separation, and impressive poseability to a compact, stylized form.
MGSD models feature inner frames, enhanced lighting effects (in certain kits), layered armor, and mechanical detail typically not seen in SD builds. The result is a unique and visually striking model that blends charm with high-end craftsmanship.
