Ok, so I missed it originally and ebay'd it. It came about a week ago and I really didnt even pay it much attention. Grand Slam is a Flash repaint and the "Night Specter" is Sharc repaint....no prob. My question is story line related. Theres no filecard for this vehicle and it just says something about it swooping down on cobra island....so Im thinking, is this thing not supposed to be a submersimle vehicle? Because Grand Slam doesnt look ready to dive and it doesnt say anything sub related on the box...though for now its gonna stay MIB until I make some space......your thoughts?

it was a pointless repaint in my opinion. i don't really care for the sharc to begin with so a poor color choice repaint was even less desireable. i never cared for the figure it came with either.
quite possibly the worst re-released vehicle to date in this line. i'd take the claw again over the night specter. even a dopey name...

I prefer the Sharc over the Night specter.Torpedo drives my night specter,it fits him better.

I think it was alright, hell at the time it was one of three vehicles available!
Probably best just to fit it into your own Joeverse however you see fit. EDIT: and it was only $10! I wish I had bought more of all of them in hindsight.

you have to remember that it was still based off the sharc which was "a flying submarine" capable of both air and water deployment. so the swooping thing actually does make sense.
