Nerf Game Report 8/7/17: Melbourne HvZ
July 13, 2017We had a great turnout at MHvZ today, which resulted in some rather impressive hordes. We also tried out some new gamemodes. This Nerf Game Report goes into particular detail about the new gamemodes.
Nerf Zombiestrike Dreadbolt Review
July 8, 2017The Dreadbolt is an odd entry for Nerf’s 2017 Fall lineup. Until now, nearly all of the “arrow” blasters have been in the Rebelle line, fired almost exclusively from bows. The flight characteristics weren’t perfect, but they worked well enough. They also took advantage of the bow craze that happened alongside movies such as The Hunger Games. Now, however, most Rebelle blasters have been phased out, with arrow launchers largely gone.
So, what is this strange new blaster, going against the receding wave, and is it worth it?

Wilderness Explorers Talon Mini-Blaster
July 3, 2017
Not all blasters can be winners. Take, for instance, the Talon. It has several things going for it. A unique color scheme, official Boy Scouts of America branding, and a rather cartoonish take on “real steel” for its shell. What it lacks is the MEGA POWER it claims on the box. Needless to say, if you don’t care about the Boy Scout branding, there’s not much reason to buy this blaster.
I should note that I saw this blaster at Toy Fair 2017, where it was featured in the Kid Galaxy booth. It didn’t improve between then and now.
Nerf Rival Nemesis Review
July 1, 2017Here we are, a month away from the official release of Nerf’s fall lineup. Many new blasters have appeared, but none with quite so much hype as the Nemesis. Perhaps the ultimate evolution of the Rival line, it meshes the foam blaster and paintball worlds together in a full-auto, hopper fed package. The Nemesis also demands a hefty price tag of $99 here in the United States. Luckily, it’s worth every cent.
