His backpack only holds one mine at a time, but he comes with 2 of them - and the 2nd can?t sit flush on the ground because they both have a little peg to fit into the backpack. And, once the mine is in the backpack, it?s hard to get out again without scratching up one edge. He comes with 2 sets of vests, helmets and pads, so you end up with a bag of extras sitting in a box (presumably with the extra landmine and the rat so they don?t get lost). No where to store the robot?s controller. And the handle on his mine detector is flimsy in a ?I might break this getting it into his hand? kind of way


I like him. I?m glad I got him. But I have never been more frustrated checking out a new figure. I will have to commit to one look and keep him in it

Good to know. Sounds like they're really going for the classic 1980's GI Joe experience...

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

Got my Tripwire yesterday. I love the extra stuff. I'm able to make a second figure. I'll just use him as Long Arm for now. The Club had released a green version of him in one of the convention sets in the past. Don't mind the Jeremy Renner head. I'm displaying him with his helmet on anyways.

It's okay. We all knew someone HAD to do a Hurt Locker Renner. Looks good, though.

Looks good.

Tripwire is a figure I look at and don't want to get just cause of how much effort I'd need to put in to get him right looking for me.
