As a kid, I thought Tripwire was okay. Not the most exciting Joe for a kid. But having actually served with EOD personnel during my Army career, my appreciation for him has gone through the roof. I love the addition of Aspara and MACLOUD. I think he's worth the deluxe price point.
I got my Tripwire today and this is so interesting because a lot of folks I've seen on facebook feel the way you do, he's ok, but not the most exciting, not worth the price, etc. But for me, I did not have Joes as a kid at all, there's no nostalgia involved for me in GI Joe like there is for Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, and Power Rangers. So I'm kinda unbiased when it comes to Classified, I just get them because they are great figures and I actually really like this Tripwire figure, I think the metal detector and robot are both super neat, unique accessories and I also like the rat. I'm planning on using some of the extra pieces, including the head for custom figures, I actually put the second head that came with Grunt on this figure and I really like how it looks. I know it's not that "classic" Tripwire face/helmet, but it's fine with me and I feel like I'm getting my money's worth out of all the extra use I'm getting from the other parts
When you got Firefly's dynamite set to blow in 2 minutes you are going to want Tripwire in there disarming it!! When I was a kid Tripwire wasn't in the battles. He hung out with Deep Six, Clutch, and Wild Bill and was called up to the front line when needed with either Wild Bill or Clutch bringing him up quick! 😄
Tripwire isn't anyone's favorite...I hope...but the Classified version made me care about a character I never cared about. He's great and I'll be saying so a little later this week.
I like that you can display him in the classic look or the modern style. Nice that they gave him a rat that is used to sniff out explosives in spaces dogs can't get to and the robot disposal device. I can load him up in the modern gear, that way he can go with my more realistic military Action Force troopers.
It's weird a rat comes with Tripwire instead of Tunnel Rat. It feels like Hasbro realized they made a mistake. And threw the rat in here so ppl will put the rat with Tunnel Rat. Other than that this is a good character to have in your collection. Even if you don't really care for Tripwire. Bc every team needs a explosive ordance disposal specialist (EOD). Especially if firefly is around.
I’m going to be honest. I only ordered this guy for the mouse. Hasbro’ s animal figures are nice accessories/figures on their own. Did you get any of the D&D stuff? The Beholder, owl bear, or displacer beast?
Tripwire was a middle of the road guy for me, didn't love him, but didn't hate him. The foot broke on my vintage figure when I was a kid. I taped it on with masking tape and chalked it up to a landmine that he missed. I am sure I will pick this one up at some point.
Tripwire was not a fun character as a kid so like my other Joes he used what he had as weapons, so my Tripwire threw the mines like Frisbees. As for the new one, I like the new padded Hurt Locker look. And always thought bomb disposal was the wildest brave job.
Tripwire was my brother’s and family’s first GI Joe 3.75” figure back in the days. I think it was on clearance. So, it was not popular even back in the days. I’m glad they made it with more accessories, but I’m no for deluxe price. And not big on the face sculpt. Easy pass for me. If it ever get to clearance, maybe…
Gawd they're making it tough for me to avoid collecting this line. Tripwire was a childhood fave...so much suspense looking for mines, clearing the way. I agree that Psych Out is crap, however.
Ok I’m probably in the minority but I felt the shoehorned a lot into this just to give it a “deluxe price”. Drone makes some sense but the Rat? Of course as a kid I’d just give Tripewire a gun from the accessories packs as so easy mod.
like i understand his function and his role on the team, but gah is he boring looking. his colorway looks like an opened can of creamed spinach. otherwise hes cool. good thing he has a helmet because that face sculpt and paint is fugly. real tough spot with ol’ tripwire here. he a specialist which is his main flaw in this instance. if he had a secondary skill that’d be something, but he is a soldier that has to walk slowly and uncover mines. meanwhile firefly is planting c-4 on the roof of a jet hangar, and the rat cant really do much to help tripwire at that point either. idk. hes a tough sell for sure.

The rat is his emergency snack😊
Tripwire and firefly were my favorite as a kid (idk why) and gettin both so close together has made me a happy man child

Mine arrived today, and I've gotta say, I'm really happy with it. Love all the accessories.
Nice Range Viper shirt. Coincidentally, my Range Viper arrived today.
The cave on the box cover has to be a reference to the M.A.S.S. Device crystal cave...
Ha!! I am watching it right now and thought the same thing!! Literally episode 2 of GI Joe.

I liked Tripwire a lot as a kid. Really surprised at the loadout for the Classified version. Really cool!!

I really enjoyed your jokes and that picture where you pose the rat kissing tripwire is so funny to me
Tripwire was the 1st joe i ever picked out for myself as a little kid
How much was he originally I missed out I purchased the target version tho

I loved Tripwire as a kid. Just something about him. I got him today and he's great.

They have bomb sniffing rats in real life, so it makes sense to go with Tripwire as they are both looking for bombs and mines.
@@danstars1 well yeah on one hand I agree with you. The other hand this is a g.i character. Back in the day Tripwire didn't have a mine sniffing rat.
Mine is on the way. Great review 👏🏼 👌🏼 👍🏼
GI Joe's own hurt locker. Tripwire
I like him. Waiting for him right now.
KYLE, HE HAS ARTICULATION ,IN THE TORSO, YOU JUST HAVE TO REMOVE HIS BOMB JACKET.....SURPRISED YOU DIDN'T DO THAT...:)
Check out the pictures in this very video
I love gi joes.
Just passed on Trip Wire for Shockwave...
Your t-shirt is awesome!
Mine came today. Not the most exciting but i eant an original 13 shelf. Hopefully the rest of the 13 are coming.

Definitely necessary for my Joe ranks. Never will have him without his helmet though.
I remember I traded my Tripwire for Airtight at school. Those were the day...
Great trade kudos to you 👍
I bought tripwire because he my first gijoe as a kid. It was given to me because it was on clearance at jc penny.
Tripwire was always one of my favorites, but i preferred the tiger force version of him.
That’s a sick shirt.

Using rats to find land mines is a real military thing they used to do
Yep but not with the original figure
I popped a mine into the backpack and scuffed the hell out of it just to take it out... Holy hell Hasbro...
Kyle!!! Awsome video!!! As always!!! My good friend!!!!

Tripwire was on the bottom of my list as a joe. The only thing that saves him is all the accessories. He was always the first one to die in my battles
Great video
7.5/10 for me /cool figure
I feel like we ahould get top 10 gi joe classified animals
Great idea!
Taken as a whole he's a good figure...If he goes on sale I'll get him, if not I can do without him.
Love the shirt, I'm a big misfits and gi joe fan so it's perfect, where can I get one?

Take a drink every time he says “plain-Jane” challenge ;)
Go for it
@@KylePeterson1980 No offence of course. It was just a silly joke. :)
Apsara in Hindi is Fairy
I’m not sure about this one
