![]() The reason he has it is that he has a spring-loaded spinning waist and he has these blades he can hold out to slash foes with. This line was pretty basic in terms of articulation, always a bit of a bug bear of mine with a martial arts related property, so any bonus movement is a bonus. What’s so good about him…well ball jointed shoulders basically. ![]() Not Billy, not Jimmy, he’ll not even main antagonist Shadow Master but this non event of a sidekick hero. Why? Because he’s actually my favourite figure in the line. Vortex - Double Dragon - Tyco 1993 - I’ve mentioned already how my main gripe with this line is that there’s more heroes than villains in it, with 2 of those heroes being created for the short-lived cartoon as sidekicks, but Vortex, one of those aforementioned cartoon creations, has a figure that annoys me more than any other. #triggerhappy #doubledragontriggerhappy #doubledragon #doubledragonanimatedseries #doubledragoncartoon #doubledragontoys #tycodoubledragon #tyco #tycotoys #90scartoons #90stoys #90sactionfigures #actionfigures #toys #80svideogames I’d rather they have additional weapons, it’s a nonsense this line never have pipes or nunchucks like the games. I don’t understand why they made his ammo belts on his arms as separate pieces as opposed to just sculpting them on. As much as the villains have drew my ire in this line, and Trigger Happy is ridiculously goofy looking…he’s goofy in an 8-Bit videogame enemy kind of way with his pink skin and sky blue hair. I never understood why it can attach when he holds it. He’s got a massive spring-loaded missile launcher that can be stored on his backpack. It does bring up the further question of why they chose this figure given these aren’t in scale with anything. There were Double Dragon toys? And who is Trigger Happy?! Turns out some cyborg goon of Shadow Master. Comic magazine Wizard used to do ‘Homemade Heroes’ a section where they showcased custom action figures and one detailed that it was made from ‘Trigger Happy from Double Dragon’ which blew my mind. Check it out, it doesn't take itself to seriously and its provides more fun than most.Trigger Happy - Double Dragon - Tyco 1993 - Unbelievably, this figure, in a way, was actually the way I became aware of this line. For whatever reason I like Double Dragon more than the DC comics stuff like Batman.I do kinda dig the Superman shows though. I liked very much that it doesn't look at all like anime which I don't much care for. Basically its a 90s toon with a cool 80s vibe. There is also a degree of character development unlike some toons. I also like the dragon that leads them to secret spots the boys need to get to. The parts with the masks didn't bother me at all, sorta a bonus actually. Of course Double Dragon was a great video game series. This show has something, kinda hard to define but its there. The bad guys, especially Shadow Master are very cool. The plots are nothing special but probably better than most. I liked the animation and the characters were drawn large. Unlike some of the other reviewers I saw plenty of martial arts in the shows I watched. I watched a couple of episodes on youtube and enjoyed them.
