I was 7 when the 1982 first series w/ straight arm hit the shelves. I was COMPLETELY excited about the line. Less than a year later I was at a classmate's birthday party and one of the figures he got was Trip Wire. I was so envious and didn't even know there were going to be MORE characters coming out! Once I saw the backpack with the detachable mines I was sold. What a great looking figure, I still have mine to this day!
Great character review. In modern mold Tripwire got not only the 2008 double pack version, but also a single carded one and a Rise of Cobra Outpost Defender Version that I can only describe as half Night Force and half Tiger Force alongside spotted pants Roadblock.
He was the only guy on the shelf at Woolworth. I wanted Storm Shadow so I refused to spend my 5 dollar fortune on a guy with a mine detector despite my father's description of how bad-assed he was accoring to his file card. I bought the googly eyed glasses instead. Whump, whump! Great vid. BTW!
EOD personnel are not known for clumsiness, steady nerves are a must He should have taken Basic at Benning for infantry training and then usually go to Fort Lee, Virginia or today, they could go to Fort A P Hill in Virginia Mines are not armed until they're planted as if they're moved, they tend to blow up I don't think that the Army uses satchel charges anymore as rockets from AT4, the successor tow the LAW or light anti tank weapon The Davy Crockett was never actually used because their range is only about 2 1/2 miles and it would kill the soldiers who fired it Fun fact, when I was in the Army, I served in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Fulda, Hesse, West Germany from 1990-1992
Would love to see a History and Origins of Continuity GI Joe Comics. I read some of what I believe were Devil's Due and all of IDW, but honestly I don't know if they are connected at all.
The Devils due comics were intended to be cannon to the marvel comic, but the problem was Larry Hama was not on board and had many inconsistancies with the marvel series, not to mention that ignorning the continuity inconsitancies, the devils due G.I.Joe run was a steaming pile of feces. IDW got the liscense to G.I.Joe soon after Devils due lost it, then in 2010, IDW relaunched the Marvel comic with issue 156 to 300, and this time they hired Larry Hama to do it, this run completley ignored the devils due series, thank God. The Marvel series has it's breaks on at the molment due to IDW not having the G.I.Joe liscense anymore, but when a new publisher gets the liscense the series will continue. One more thing, the only Devils Due comic that's cannon is the mini series G.I.Joe Declassified, fine by me, because that was the only good story from Devils Due published, everything else Devils Due published is nothing more than a bunch of waiting apologies.
@@jakeproven256 sweet thanx, one last question then... Were GI Joe: Origins, Cobra 1 and 2 (Chuckles Story), Cobra Civil War and Command and Snake Eyes Agent of Cobra previous Devil's Due that IDW reprinted or just some one off non-canon tales or are they canon? I read them all plus, 155 1/2 to 294 mostly during COVID when they were available on what was Comixology. I read out of order, so I got confused on canon vs non canon.
I know I've told you this before but man thank you for the videos you make. You don't know how much I look forward to watching them.
Much Thanks. Been waiting for this for a while. Can't get enough of the GI Joe origins. Keep it going. Yo Joe!! 💪⭐⭐⭐⭐💯
Loved Trip. I think he was one of my first wave 2 Joe's, the backpack and mines sold me right away.

Tripwire maybe unlucky but he is a excellent G.I. Joe member. 😀👍

@4:26 “An oceanic Dom Toretto”
Thank you, that made my whole crappy mood turn completely around 😁
Tripwire was my first joe figure the original not the tiger force version.
Sweet 🎂
Wow tripwire!
EOD personnel are not known for clumsiness, steady nerves are a must
He should have taken Basic at Benning for infantry training and then usually go to Fort Lee, Virginia or today, they could go to Fort A P Hill in Virginia
Mines are not armed until they're planted as if they're moved, they tend to blow up
I don't think that the Army uses satchel charges anymore as rockets from AT4, the successor tow the LAW or light anti tank weapon
The Davy Crockett was never actually used because their range is only about 2 1/2 miles and it would kill the soldiers who fired it
Fun fact, when I was in the Army, I served in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Fulda, Hesse, West Germany from 1990-1992
Very indepth
I'm getting an Elektra birthday cake soon.
