So far no one has answered this so I thought I would...
Here's a photo of the 2 recently released Tripwire's, as you can see, the pads have a slight difference in tone of gray. The one on your left is a darker gray, this is the Comic Pack version, the one on the right, a lighter gray, this is the single carded (Wave 12/Mass Device element) version. I was curious about this as I hated the idea of the single Trip being a direct repack, when Hasbro easily could have made him the originally announced "Desert" version, Cartoon Colors, Tiger Force, or Listen N Fun variations. So if you have to rebuy Trip for the element there is a slight variation in the color gray on the pads. Not enough that you have to own both if you only want one or the other, but it is nice that Hasbro varied the color mildly so that you can tell which is which outside the packaging. Note: All the other colors appear to be the same... |

I thought they were going to smooth out his chest piece as well, like his 1983 counterpart

I agree fellas, it' slight... & other options would have been MUCH better, but at least it's there...
ALSO, the comic packs DARKER gray is glossy, where the lighter gray single pack is more flat painted. |
