I certainly am glimpy! Nice background story to go with the figure.
Earlier on when I mentioned that he was quite common, what I meant was that out of all the WGSH figures that were released in SA, Jet was the easiest at the time to get. For me at the time, as a kid, the hardest figures to get were Spiderman and Captain America. It took me ages to land a Spiderman. The sad thing is that only a handful of JJ's have made it to 2019, and if it was not for the sellers strict Grandma, this one too, would have been lost. I owe it to her, to keep this Jet in another display cabinet.
Poor Jet spends nearly 50 years in a display cabinet, gets released, then flies 5609 miles (9027 km) around 11 hours Joburg to London, only to be encassed in a box, and back into a display cabinet!!! He must feel like he has been sentenced to three lifetime sentences, with no porole!! His only saving grace, is that he has the company of the rest of the Mego WGSH's!
