From the series “Macross Frontier”, the VF-27 was developed by Macross Galaxy Variable Fighter Development Arsenal.This Variable Fighter sports 4 engines which allows the fighter to surpass the VF-25.  Released after the premier of the Movie “Macross Frontier: The False Songstress”. This Variable fighter s one of the most anticipated products of the DX Chogokin VF line.

On the stand. Note: Stand is not included, I just borrowed it from the Movie DX Chogokin Alto Custom

Gerwalk Mode

Feet has metal parts on it.

Plenty of markings on the body, most of them are prone to paint chips so be careful when transforming.

Gerwalk mode has no problem standing even when holding the massive Beampod.

Battroid Mode

Arm flexibility is an improvement compared to the older releases of Bandai’s vf-25 series

Visor on the head is made up of clear green material

The main problem of the Beampod is that it’s too heavy. It needs two arms to support this pose.

Articulation is greatly improved especially on the leg part.

Aside from the problem of paint chipping, the VF-27 is a remarkable improvement to the DX VF’s of Bandai and it does not disappoint.

Here’s hoping they re release the VF-25′s with this kind of articulation and quality.
