“The set includes multiple water vehicles. The biggest is the main submarine. The Agent's sub has several features including an opening missile bay holding four flick-fire missiles, an opening front to store a treasure in, and a detachable miniature sub. The driver of the... More submarine is able to go inside the submarine cab via an opening and closing windshield on the front.”

“This is my favorite Agents set. The submarine is my favorite part because, it has flip-up missiles, flick-fire missles, slide-out mini-sub, storage compartment, and a Pohatu Nuva climbing claw! (The silver thing on the front.) The ship has flick-fire missiles and a move-able... More blunt launcher. The other things include a treasure chest with pinkish and greenish-yellow crystals, a glow-in-the-dark squid, and a smaller mini-sub that Slime-Face can hold on to.”
