Alongside the Liger Zero body.
This kit only includes the Jager Unit, so you'll need to get the Liger Zero kit separately.

The ion Booster unit that attaches to the back can be extended and deployed left and right, and the wings can also be spread out separately.

When you open the ion Booster upward, the internal ducts open in sync with it.

After attaching the ion Booster to the body, there's a small connecting pin underneath that's supposed to lock it in place...
It keeps popping out whenever you move the ion Booster.

Following the Liger Zero Schneider Unit, the Liger Zero Jager Unit has now been released. Just like the Schneider Unit kit, it comes in two versions released simultaneously — a unit-only kit and a combo kit — and this one here is the unit-only version at ¥3000.

The overall molded color is a combination of blue and sky blue that gives it a nice, refreshing feel. Compared to the Schneider Unit, the parts have a generally cleaner design. The Schneider Unit looked awesome, but it did feel a bit cluttered.

The ion Booster unit that attaches to the back is really well thought out in terms of gimmicks — it can extend and deploy left and right, and when you open it upward, three internal ducts all link together and open and close in sequence. After mounting the ion Booster on the back, the front is supposed to be secured by a small pin coming out of the body (see photos), but the fit there is a bit iffy. Whenever you try to use the left-right deployment gimmick, it keeps popping off — and it's honestly confusing whether you're supposed to leave it detached or keep it connected at all times.

The Jager parts that attach to all four legs have a total of eight wings, all of which are articulated so you can pose them either folded or spread out. The head Jager parts are also designed to deploy in all directions.

Since the Liger Zero itself is a kit built around swapping out different armor sets, it does come with all these various armor units... but honestly, the swapping process is complicated and stiff, so doing it frequently is kind of a hassle. For Zoids fans, it might actually be better to just buy the combo pack with the Liger Zero rather than picking up these units separately. The price is the issue, of course. :-)
