Nerf Rival Prometheus Review
July 1, 2018(Disclaimer: this was a free product for review from Hasbro. Thanks, guys!)
The flagship product of the season is finally here. The Nerf Rival Phantom Corps Prometheus is on hand and is as every bit as amazing as it appeared to be at Toy Fair. The price tag is a shocker at $200, but the blaster itself is as good as it gets if you want to spray foam ammo all day (or at least until you need to pick it all back up).
Nerf Modulus Ghost Ops Evader Review
June 29, 2018(Disclaimer: this was a free product for review from Hasbro. Thanks, guys!)
The mass 2018 launch of Nerf blasters is almost here! To start things off, we’ll take a look at the Modulus Ghost Ops Evader. In function, it’s a Stryfe. That’s nothing new. In form, however, it has a large but comfortable shell. The Evader feels great in your hands, and has that pretty glowing effect to boot. If you need a new semi-auto blaster, it’ll fit the bill.

Xshot Flying Bugs Dropping in Next Month!
June 8, 2018
Zuru’s Xshot blasters have been a resounding success in terms of gaining market share, and their line expansion was hinted at back at Toy Fair 2018. The launching of the new sub-series, Flying Bug Attack, is set for next month, with battery-operated launchers sending the targets up into the air. The new pistol in the series, a clip-fed blaster that suspiciously looks to use the same clips as the Regenerator, also looks highly promising. I’ll be sure to post a review once I get my hands on one of these!
This ad was from the June issue of Toy World Magazine, by the way.
Xshot Recoil Review
June 5, 2018
Sometimes a fun little pistol comes along. In the case of the Recoil, it’s a simple, single shot blaster with a bonus. The slide actually retracts and then returns on trigger pull, giving the blaster its “recoil”. With or without a dart loaded to fire, it’s a fun effect that completely sells the blaster.
I found the Adventure Force version at a Walmart Canada. The US version, marketed as the Pulse or Kickback, has been seen in the toy sections of places like Burlington Coat Factory.
Nerf N-Strike Elite Delta Trooper Review
June 3, 2018The first of the new wave of Nerf blasters is here! Kinda. I had to run to Canada to pick up a Delta Trooper, but US appearances shouldn’t be far behind.
The Delta Trooper is the newest “base” spring-powered, magazine-fed blaster, and it carries over both the Retaliator’s basic operation and the Alpha Trooper’s slam fire capabilities. It does its job well, even if there are some things consumers might desire (pump-action priming, for one). And after a first day of not liking the design, it’s started to grow on me.
