Grand Slam finishes my team of the Joe left out of the '97 Stars & Stripes Forever set.
The parameters for this set were to use '82-'86 pieces, like the original Kenner set did. However, I cheated here and there. Hawk uses a comic pack Hawk head. Steeler uses a Star Trek Decker head. Grand Slam uses an Infantry Division head.
Grand Slam and Clutch are linked to each other by having cold color schemes. Ideally, I'd make a VAMP/HAL combo set in slate/black/grey.
The other figures stand on their own, but I tried to make them look different than their original ARAH releases. Flash is the closest to the ARAH version, but the pads are salmon instead of sunset and the other gear is dark tan instead of brown. It was important to have Grand Slam and Flash have different color sets. They also have different waists as to not have entirely shared bodies.
As much as I love ARAH figures, epoxy filling the shoulder rivets/elbow rivets/thigh screw insets really streamlines the look. It's only the last year that I started doing this to the shoulder rivets, which you can compare to Flash's, which I didn't.
