Great toy, Dave! The

Great toy, Dave! The photography is clutch. Nice to see such clear shots of this thing. I noticed, however, that the color scheme IS a bit off (which, I think, you were alluding to). The arrow point to his crotch is actually supposed to be silver, not blue...and the raised border around it should be blue, not yellow like the rest of his abdomen. But the REAL issue is his eyes: they're supposed to be black! Oh well....doesn't detract from how good the toy is/looks...just funny that they changed those things!

Woops.. you're right. But perhaps I should just change my wording to "bullmark accurate" instead of "movie accurate", since that's what it is.

Cute figure... the only thing I don't like is the oversized head. I'd probably dig this more as a neat vinyl figure if the proportions were more realistic, but the funkyness and fun factor are pretty apparent in a simple figure like this.

Shelf Standout!

Thanks for putting this up, Dave. Nice shots. This seems to be a real shelf-attention getter with the POP colors.
I don't chase after vinyl too much, but for JetJag, I make the move, because as JoshB pointed out in his Bandai review, there's no available diecast!! ARRGH! Jet Jaguar is a cool, more unique character, in the Godzillaverse anyway, and it kills me that nobody realized the sales potential of at least a gimmick installed, or chogokin release, preferably.
The Ultramen had gokin, and even rubbery dinosaur monsters got the gokin treatment by several companies, but JetJaguar? NOOooOOO! (Giant Toy Company, are you listening?!) Sorry for off topic rant. =oD

As for buying one, Dave, where did you get yours from? Thanks.

Jet Jaguar

Jet Jaguar 6" Vinyl Figure by Bandai is a favorite accurate in detail and size. But I'm sure you knew that.

You know,I really need a figure of Jet. He's definately one of my favorites,I love the way he "programmed himself to grow in some way" as the dubbing helpfully states.

Just to add to the Jet

Just to add to the Jet Jaguar comments, one other popular figure of this guy is the Kiguru-Microman set with Megalon. I've never handled one in person, but I've heard pretty good things about it. Not exactly my style, but folks out there may dig it!

Oh, and because this really should be posted in *every* review... ;)

I actually have the Godzilla 54 of those rubber-suited micromen,but I've left it mint in package,since I've heard about so many people having a hard time getting the suit on.
