A first-rate review of Tripwire and his awesome accessories, but it's unfortunate that his bigger vest is problematic. Nonetheless, this is the best Tripwire to date!
Hasbro really don't need to make him a deluxe class if they want to... but they had to tricks us so... plus the figure is so bare without paint apps. This has been a common practice for all of their action figure without much paint apps now.
It's a shame that the heavier armor is so cumbersome to put on him but damn it this a cool looking figure.... I agree there should have been more paint apps and dark washes added to make all those sculpted details on him Pop. Great unboxing and review video 👍
Didn't have any problems with the large vest, but his mine sweeper was well bent. Can't say I'm a fan of the face, but I was planning on displaying him with the full helmet on anyway. Could definitely use a little more paint, but the sculpting is there and looks great under adjusted lighting. Also more accessory storage for the handheld and other mine would have been preferred. Great points and review.
Great review! You never disappoint on giving us the thorough dope on figures! I quite like this figure. I think it's a very nice sculpt with good details throughout! I would have liked more paint apps too, but I think in this case, it's actually fine. Would have loved a little more paint on the pistol grip or something like that, and maybe some dry brushing on the vests. A much better effort than I'm used to seeing from Hasbro, to be honest. Love the little rat! I like the original Tripwire figure, and I love him in his classic gear!
Agreed! At least the new Black Widow had some decent accessories, but we just don't get great accessories from Legends. Such a shame to. Siryn needed a screaming head! Antman could have used a Pym head, some small ants, etc. Tarantula could have used extra hands--or ANYTHING! He got nothing! The Legends line needs to do better. Not fond of their new rubbery plastic where knee and figure joints are concerned either. Rather frustrating.@@xcorpeo
I got mine too (as he's also out in the UK early too, He's not perfect the material of some of the accessories could be a bit better. The Rat is flipping adorable mind. The Robot could have been better the front treads would have benefited from being articulated and maybe a flip out peg on the underside to allow it to be back carried. The carry handle is a bit to fragile too. Oddly he has a cover on the underside if that popped off it would have been a good place to store the mines. Some storage points around the figure for them would have been useful. I agree he's a bit plain looking in terms of paint but I found I liked the look, though I decided he's best borrowing some additional weapons. I think he looks nice with the other "Green Guys" though and the more of those they make the more useful this one will be. Perhaps he is a bit overpriced considering some of the minor issues. but I think he's one I'll actually play with so that make him worth full price to me. I would just caution that you take it slow and careful as his nose can get caught on the chin strap rather easily and you have to take care you it isn't accidentally torn. He looks very nice with a Ram cycle too as he complements it's colours well.
Haha another addition to the green team. I think MACLEOD has got a cover cos it's moulded hollow to save on plastic. At least Hasbro has covered it up rather than leave gaping like the underside of some transformers 😬
I know sometimes you customize your figures on here. If you add any additional details to this guy, please do share. As I’m looking at him, I’m thinking black, blue, green, yellow, silver additional paint details.
I don't do much painting though, plus this is my friend's figure, and I'm not a terribly big fan of Tripwire. Anyway thanks for the comment and paint suggestion
Again, lately the Classified line is missing the face-printing tech making the face look like it came from the Fortnite line. Otherwise a decent figure, but pricing is meh. Thanks for the early review.
Great review, you had mentioned on the Nunchuk review that it didn’t have a wash. Classified doesn’t have a wash, when I do customs, I try to match the factory look by not applying a wash . Just letting you know , great review!
Yeah sure, but some figures do have dry brush, like Storm Shadow? I'm not disputing, just think a bit more paint on the already sculpted details would work much better, like coloring some straps, pouches or buckles
junk design for vest they know most left buying these they defend the bs.... Should of made for boil and pop method. These gummy pegs will never stay in design on it was so disgusting. Buy 2 super glue one closed...
Sounds like Lenny was made aware of the gummy accessories or at least knows fans and collectors hate them and said they will address that issue. Hopefully soon. I'm probably going to add a little paint to mine when I get it. Just some gun metal grey to the weapon and mine sweeper and possibly to some areas of his armor. Or at least a darker grey to some areas of it. Overall he look good.
I am a giant fan of Tripwire and am very much looking forward to this guy. I really appreciate your early review.
he looks straight out of EDF. so good
Never liked Trip Wire. Had no use for him and he didnt look cool, but man o man, this guy is off the hook and im excited to pick one up
This release is loaded to the gills 🔥👏🏾 man I love Joe's. A dark green wash will really do wonders for this.
Thanks for another good look at an awesome figure! Can't wait for this one!

I can’t wait till mine comes in. I love all the extra armor and different styles you can have him in. Remind me of warhammer 40k guardsmen
I got into Classified (and Valaverse) to do some customs from The Division and this guy is gonna work perfectly as a True Sons heavy.
Just like heat makes it easier to remove items. Try putting that vest in a fridge/freezer before clipping in to make them more rigid
Xcorpeo, appropriately definitive review of Tripwire. When you do a review its first and hard to follow. Be well✌️
Thanks for kind words!

Looks good, but some black details like the gun and other bits would have gone a long way to break up the gray a bit
Great review as usual, very indept and thorough.

Great stuff I believe you are the very first reviewer of him! Now the argument about him having one vest has been canned! Nice review✨✨✨
Im on the fence about him. Maybe if I painted his gauntlets and light armor, his boots cover, that would do it for me.
Great review, I can't wait to get him.

The inclusion of accessories is purposeful, rather than superfluous like Marvel Legends. Quite rightly a proper deluxe right here

Ficou Incrível!....😘🐸🍩❤️
15:24 nice comparison pic with cobra figs. I was wondering if the body armor was reuse from firefly.
I think I’m the only person who removed the upper Armand thigh armor to make him looks more like his vintage counterpart.
Where will he be will he be available at?
Is this an exclusive or is it gonna be available everywhere?
Fire flys land minds will work great with this figure…..woulda been nice if they threw one or two of them in so you don’t have to use flys but 🤷🏻
I got mine too (as he's also out in the UK early too,

somehow i find it hard not giving it a minigun and turning it into a juggernaut

I'm on the fence with him. The lack of paint really bothers me and makes him look cheap and plasticy.
nice
Dont care what anyone says but im making him absolutely a heavy gunner with a mini gun...damn its freakin perfect!!!!!!
Too many unwanted accessories on this figure to needlessly force the price up. I hope Hasbro do a streamlined carded version.
junk design for vest they know most left buying these they defend the bs.... Should of made for boil and pop method. These gummy pegs will never stay in design on it was so disgusting. Buy 2 super glue one closed...
A little swirl of resin glue or nail polish around the holes (left to dry) seems to give the pegs plenty of grip.

This video sucks I wanted to see with his armor off like a classic tripwire
You cant have watched it all then as he does show without armor
