I was looking through Storm Shadow vs. Firefly issue that came with the two packs and obviously noticed Slice and Dice as well as Tripwire and Tunnel Rat in the issue.
Here is my concern. I they release Tripwire using the colors in the comic, which are purple and orange. Will you still buy it? I feel this would be the day I would start thinking about quitting collecting GI Joe. Especially if Hasbro continues to use wacky colors such as in the 90’s.

They won't release TW in comic colors. Hasbro already said, when a character debut's in a comic pack, it will be in regular colors and not comic pack colors. And so far, that's how they've done it.

The flourescent colors is what turned me off to GI Joe in the 90's, but I have a feeling they won't make that mistake twice.

This color scheme is an homage to the Funskool figure of Tripwire. While I think it is as garrish as they come, I like it a lot for some reason, especially the "Bomb Squad" chest plate. Tripwire is one of those figures that had some interesting repaints over the years including Listen n' Fun, Tiger Force, international figure Blades (Awesome!), and the crazy Indian Funskool. Tripwire is a personal favorite of mine and I would not mind seeing Hasbro do 25th versions of all his variants starting with the original of course. Check out the link!

I was already disgusted at the color of the previous waves of SS/SE, Duke/CC/, Scarlett/Hawk........
The color makes them look horrible, except for Hawk. I don't think Hasbro learn at all from their mistakes. And Destro with Breaker looks like the color scheme for Pythona. |

....are they supposed to refer to it as "Skystriker ####" or "WHALE #4?" I'm just not sure what article you want them to use? Also, let's be honest....these comics were pretty rushed. I can kinda see what you mean, but...eh. I was just happy to read new comics.
