Transformers collector?
Triggerhappy is one of those figures from Titan Returns that blew people's mind, fighting as best of line with Topspin.
The figure by itself is great, amazing poseability and attitude and very smart paint apps that leaves little to ask for.
I won't go into transformation amazingness about this, but the steps along the way allow for fun alternate fan modes.
Alt mode is an amazing jet, very reminiscent of a X-Wing. Guns stored on jet/plane alt rarely look bad, but they look specially nice on Triggerhappy, the amount of gun barrels make it look armed to the teeth.
I must say I was hesitant about this set. Triggerhappy felt pretty much perfect for me, and I thought that the stickers would make the figure look too busy and diminish that clean and sophisticate balance that it has out of the box.
The reprolabels set comes with two sheets. The main metallic sheet with all the standard stickers and an alternate hologlow sheet with replacements and with the Titan Master bellybutton stickers.
The decorations enhance the alt mode quite a lot. The red accents on the arms and behind the cock pit jump to the eye since the original figure does not show any red in alt mode.
I waited to apply the shin stickers since I didn't think they would be needed, but I decided to trust Toyhax since they've never let me down before so I went with the standard version (Not a hologlow fan myself) and I'm happy with the result. I think that they work well in addition with the extra enhancements.
Closer look at the details
Robot mode gets quite a bit of enhancements as well. The most visible ones being the shins. A big sticker that I did not want to apply, but looking at it now I am happy with the result.
There are some back hand stickers that I didn't think were necessary, but hey! More stickers.
The yellow chest stickers that cover the paint apps seem a bit unnecessary, the standard paint is quite good I think.
I did not apply the chest insignia, I have 0 problems with the monochrome decepticon symbol!
Closer look at the details:
A note about the stickers on the upper thighs:
I had to cut them in half and add some glue to get them to stick to the figure. Its shape was not quite the dimensions needed to fit in the molding so I resorted to cutting them in half to make it fit.
I love me some stickers on guns! Guns are always so bland that any decoration really makes them pop.
As much as this is another hit by Toyhax, I think that bare Triggerhappy is plenty good, which removes this set from the "must buy" list IMO.
I feel that a few parts were not an incredible perfect fit this time as it's been with past fitures. I had trouble with the jet mode wing stickers, I feel they were off by fractions of milimiters making the borders bunch a tiny bit. Nothing bad to risk the sticker peeling off though.
I have very sweaty hands, and I feel that the high number of tiny stickers on this figure has made it a difficult toy to handle. I don't feel like I can freely handle and t ransform this toy without worrying that I might be putting pressure on some sticker and peel it off. I already have a corner sticking out on the cockpit even after taking care of throughly cleaning off the surfaces before starting.
