Grand Slam uses 25th Flash’s body with Ace’s head and Clutch’s lower legs in an all new paint scheme. The armor pieces are painted a light metallic blue that blends with the new blue camo of the movie figures. The boot holster that comes with the Clutch legs is always a welcome addition. The Glider is a repaint of the 2005 VvV Blue Air Assault with the longer handlebar and a slight remold to change the back peg. The instructions still show the bullet belt that was molded onto the first Air Assault in 2003 even though that detail was removed back in 2005. The paint scheme has blue camo on the top and plain silver on the bottom of the glider. Just like all the other Air Assaults, this one can configure into an attack mode as well as a glider. Also making a comeback is the rifle that came with Night Force Spearhead and Max back in 1989. Grand Slam comes with Helmet with Visor, removable Belt, Pistol, Rifle, Air Assault Body, Air Assault right Wing, Air Assault left Wing, Air Assault Handlebar, 2 Air Assault Missiles and a GI Joe Stand.
This is a Target exclusive figure and vehicle set and for the first time, we get a Grand Slam figure stand too! The figure is a frankenjoe repaint, but it looks good and they used a head that I’ve always felt was a great head that suffered from bad paint apps in the past. The Air Assault is a great addition to one’s collection as it could be used as an updated Falcon Glider, or just a stolen Claw. The only drawback to this set for me was the rifle, I’ve just never been a fan of it, but I’m sure there are many fans who welcome a classic weapon. One other note about these sets, they all come with a cardboard M.A.R.S. Briefcase. I’ve long wondered what was in the briefcase and figured it might be something cool since Hasbro has been adding cardboard boxes with small artifacts or extra weapons for the past year in their Star Wars and Indiana Jones lines. The box opens like a match box and as I opened it, I was disappointed to learn it only contains a note telling me to chase the case at Target’s website.

I'm assuming that the green uniform is really that dark and won't match the orginal 13?

I find the set too pricey for what it does.
