- Introduction
The Blade Liger that appeared at the beginning of the HMM Zoids Series has been equipped with the Attack Boosters that were popular with earlier versions of the kit, and re-lined up!
We improved the recreation further by reviewing the molding colors used for the entire body, including the Attack Booster that enhances its armaments, speed, and mobility all at the same time. As a bonus part, we've included clear parts in addition to the clear orange pieces used. Please add the blue lion-type Zoid that holds the fate of the Republic to your lineup!
- Gimmicks
⚫ The cockpit hatch in the head can be opened and closed, and a generic pilot figure can be placed inside.
⚫ The Zoid Core that's built into the fuselage can be removed.
⚫ The laser blades mounted on the side can expand and retract, recreating its powerful fighting poses.
⚫ The attack booster has a built-in gimmick to open and close the cover, expand the booster, and expand the beam cannon.
⚫ Clear parts such as the cockpit in the head and the tail lamp are included in both clear orange and clear colorless plastic, so it's possible to paint your favorite color on the clear parts.
⚫ A new decal sheeth, including various emblems and caution markings is included, so you can decorate it as you like to finish it accurately.

- Release Notes
- Rereleased in October 2021- Box Art Discussion
The Blade Liger AB's box art features one of the most iconic battles of the Official Fan Book series. In this fight, Ritz Runstedt confronted his long-time rival, Arthur Borgmann, but before their fight could be decided, it was interrupted by the runaway Death Stinger, a monstrous Zoid created by the Empire. Both Organoid System-based Zoids stopped their feud to put an end to the Death Stinger before it could destroy all of Planet Zi.
This fight took place among ancient ruins that had been filled with the corpses of both Empire and Republic Zoids that were killed when the Death Stinger first went berserk. The cores of these Zoids were sustenance for the Death Stinger's many young, and the runaway machine fought hard to prevent that nest from being destroyed.
In addition, the promotional poster for this kit (seen up in the Gimmicks section) is directly referencing the cover of this book, Official Fan Book 2.
As a final reference, the blades on the Liger's side are angled half-way up because in the Battle Story, this is a pose taken to increase the aerodynamics of the Zoid.
