Nice find, nanoplasm! Thank you very much!
Since Bandai released the VF-27 I was sure they had addressed the shortcomings of their DX 25 line and would produce a V.2 sooner or later, an “evolution” as they point out. Too bad it wasn’t soon enough as to be able to sell it with the new merchandise related to the 1st movie like the tornado pack.
The shown improvements are very obvious, there’s something about some proportions in fighter mode and the landing gears as well.
