Bandai Namco Group's official online store "Premium Bandai"is now accepting pre-orders for the "Movie Monster Series Jet Jaguar -FES GODZILLA Special Edition Set-" (ムービーモンスターシリーズ ジェットジャガー -フェス・ゴジラ特装セット-, Mūbī Monsutā Shirīzu Jetto Jagā -Fesu Gojira Tokusō Setto-), the first figure in the Movie Monster Series of to be released with interchangeable parts.
This set is based on the FES GODZILLA short films screened at the annual "Godzilla Fest" (ゴジラ・フェス, Gojira Fesu) Godzilla Day celebrations. The giant robot Jet Jaguar from FES GODZILLA 4: OPERATION JET JAGUAR (フェス・ゴジラ4 オペレーション ジェットジャガー, Fesu Gojira 4 Operēshon Jetto Jagā, 2023) and the recent FES GODZILLA 5: THE GREAT BATTLE OF THE MONSTERS (フェス・ゴジラ5 怪獣大決戦, Fesu Gojira 5 Kaijū Daikessen, 2024) comes with two pairs of arm parts, including the “G-Claw ver.” based on Gigan's scythe, and the “Thumbs Up ver.” that was so memorable in the movies.
The main body uses the mold of the previously released Movie Monster Series: Jet Jaguar figure from Bandai, though the upper body has been modified to improve the reproduction of fine details on the Jet Jaguar suit from the FES GODZILLAs. In addition, the paint color of the whole body has been updated to match Jet Jaguar's appearance in the short films.
