The Newest of Nerf

Blog Closing

I don't have time to really update these anymore. It was fun at the time, but I've got better things to do.

Vantage Sword

2011-03-06T12:07:00.000-08:00

Nothing special about this one, just another sword to add to their N-Force line.

New Vendetta Sword

2011-02-18T14:55:00.000-08:00

Nerf is stepping up their game with another melee system. It features the ability to lock into a double bladed sword, similar to Darth Maul's from Star Wars. It is said to be around four and a half feet long.

Yankdogger7's opinions: "I'm not a fan of the N-force line. Nothing really caught my eye with this line. It can also be a lack of taste, but the 'futuristic' effect Nerf skews to just doesn't have that connection to melee weaponry. But Nerf will be Nerf and they just aren't getting the money out of my pockets at least. Have fun with this one kids, or adults if you're still into this kinda stuff."

100 Dart Refills!!!

2011-01-18T12:49:00.000-08:00

There's not much to say, besides that Nerf is going to have some 100 dart refill packs. Let's just give Yankdogger7 the floor on what he thinks of this. There's also an N-Strike logo "patch" included.

Yankdogger7's Opinions: "Finally, I've been wanting something like this for a LONG time! I've been needing a ton more streamlines, and I didn't want to buy the small packs, because it'll cost a good amount of money. I also didn't want to buy the one with the ammo box, because it was useless and a waste of money. Looks like Nerf has seen exactly what we want. More darts! Even if the price is a little high, it'll still be worth the buy."

Thanks to Urban Taggers for the find and the picture.

New Paint Scheme for the Maverick!

2011-01-18T12:33:00.000-08:00

Nerf is on the road to have a new paint scheme...once again. Although instead of just different colors, there are also some cool orange and black details on different areas. This is the same paint scheme is the new Super Soaker line (pictures below for comparison), but just with the extra details. We have yet to know if other blasters will start to have this paint scheme.

Yankdogger7's Opinions: "This paint scheme is pretty cool, but again, it's another marketing technique in order to make you buy more blasters. It's worth it if you are desperately in love with this paint scheme, don't have a Maverick (or whatever blaster was repainted), or just have some extra cash. But other than that, there really isn't a reason to buy this if you already have the older version of it."

Here are some pictures, thanks to Urban Taggers for the pictures, and I edited some to make it look nicer. The last picture is one of the new Super Soakers.

Dart Tag Single Shot Pistol!

2011-01-18T11:15:00.001-08:00

We all loved the Nite Finder as a small pistol in our N-Strike collection, so where's the pistol in our future Dart Tag collection? Well Nerf found an answer to that! We still have yet to know if this will actually be a single shot blaster, but its almost 100% going to be one.

Yankdogger7's opinions: "This is a rather good sized pistol, but we can only hope for a good sized plunger tube. We'll just have to wait for more info, before I can say if this is worth the buy or not. But still, it'll be somewhere near 10 bucks so I guess it really doesn't matter."

Here's a picture of it, not much else was found on the web though.

Thanks to Urban Taggers for the find, and I edited it to make it look nicer

Double Drum Mag Stampede?!?!

2011-01-01T16:00:00.000-08:00

Looks like Hasbro is feeling a little bit ambitious by coming up with a double drum mag that holds 50 darts for the Stampede ECS-50. The thing looks pretty bulky, and who knows how this thing would work, but all I know is that it would be awesome. We still have yet to know if this will actually be in production, but it looks very likely!

Yankdogger7's opinions: "The Raider drum was amazing enough with a giant 35 dart drum, but it looks like Hasbro wants even more! What can we expect next from Hasbro? A 100 dart belt chain on a Gatling gun? Who knows, Nerf looks like its gonna get better after the whole Recon re-shelling issue."

Nerf Dart Tag Quick 16 Blaster

2011-01-01T13:29:00.000-08:00

Looks like there will be another new Dart Tag blaster to look out for besides the "Swarmfire." This blaster has the same paint scheme and aesthetic details as the "Swarmfire" but in the general shape of a Raider CS-35. However, it features a built in 16 dart clip in the bottom. The blaster obviously features slam-fire.

Yankdogger7's opinions: "The quick 16 looks really cool, and the loading mechanism looks very interesting and innovative. I think this would be a great substitute for the Swarmfire if the Swarmfire costs too much. The bending back of the magazine looks a little weird. However, it looks pretty necessary if you understand the geometry of how tagger darts would fit in a clip. Anyways, this looks like it would take some serious modifying to make it use stefans, so I'd just recommend this to the tagger dart fans if you aren't a pro modifier."

Here are a couple pictures I found off of ebay. Courtesy to the seller of this listing.

Clear Vulcan EBF-25

2010-12-16T17:06:00.000-08:00

Recently, Hasbro has decided to shelf the rumored Clear Series Vulcan EBF-25. They are currently a Target exclusive, so get them there! Click to go to Target's online store!

There are a couple differences with the original worth mentioning. The first and most prominent is the Clear shell recoloring and red darts. Second, they redesigned the belt a little bit. The belt sections now have a half pipe cutaway in the front, instead of a full pipe. The advantages to this are being able to remove the darts from the belt if needed and ease of loading. The second picture below has a good view of the half pipe cutaway.

Yankdogger7's opinions: "This, and all the other blasters in the Clear Series and Sonic Series, is just another marketing technique by Hasbro; to try to get customers to buy more blasters. This, unlike the other clear series blaster has an advantage over the predecessor, which is the half pipe cutaway. So if you want a Vulcan, you should get this one. If you already have the Vulcan, this blaster isn't worth buying."

Here are some photos of the box and the blaster, respectively. (Photos courtesy of Target's online site).

Nerf Sonic Series

2010-12-16T16:48:00.000-08:00

The Nerf Sonic Series is a new line of blasters much like the Clear Series. It is essentially recoloring of preexisting Nerf blaster much like Clear Series, but instead, there is a green tint to the transparent outer casing. There are five blasters that are currently in the Sonic Series, them being the Recon CS-6, the Deploy CS-6, the Vulcan EBF-25, the Nite Finder EX-3, and the Maverick REV-6. They are a Toys R Us exclusive.

Yankdogger7's opinions: "If you are tight on cash, I wouldn't consider buying these blasters. They are just like the normal blasters. In my opinion, the green clashes a bit with the orange colors. It would have been much better if they had a blue transparency. However, if you have the money to spend and like the looks of them, they are a great addition to your current Nerf arsenal."

Here are the photos of the Blasters (courtesy of Toys R Us website).

From top to bottom, it is the Nite Finder EX-3, Maverick REV-6, Recon CS-6, Deploy CS-6, and the Vulcan EBF-25.
