JustSoFun K2 Hyper Blaster Review
February 7, 2022It’s not a strict rule, but I tend to keep away from “knockoffs” unless they’re genuinely interesting. This is one of those times. After seeing it on Amazon (and Aliexpress as well), I had to see what was going on.
The K2 looks like a Rival Takedown at first glance, until you see the ball hopper. It does indeed fire Hyper rounds, and while it’s not the most powerful thing on the block, it works well. And it makes me wonder why Hasbro missed a fun opportunity like this.
Rekt Jury Revolver Review
February 5, 2022Umarex entered the dart blaster field in 2020 with the OpFour rifle and the OpSix single shot pistol. Powered by 12g CO2 cartridges, the two blasters met with mixed reviews, due to inconsistency from the former and low velocities from the latter.
Now, the next blaster in the line, the Jury, is available online. Is this revolver an improvement on previous products? For sure. Is it perfect? Not quite. But does it have a place? Provided you have a venue for it, of course!
Nerf Star Wars The Mandalorian Amban Phase-Pulse Blaster Review
February 2, 2022Blasters like this are extremely hard to rate. Sure, it’s an obvious choice for a dart blaster. But after making (and delaying) the Nerf LMTD version, Hasbro releases a regular one at less than half the price?
Alas, consumer priorities are the ultimate factor here. Are you in need of a relatively inexpensive cosplay prop that you can paint? Are you a kid wanting to me Din Djarin? Do you just like quirky blasters in general? If so, it’s a nice blaster to grab. Anyone else? Perhaps not.
Adventure Force Water Strike Gatling Blast Review
January 29, 2022Prime Time Toys/Dart Zone has been on a roll in the soaker department. Last year, they released the Adventure Force Hydro Burst (now the Typhoon Burst) exclusively through Walmart. I reviewed it, finding it a fun addition to the arsenal with its unique spring-powered mechanism and actual trigger.
This year, they’ve taken the concept and made a blaster that’s bigger and goofier. With a larger reservoir, lever prime, and a spinning barrel, the Water Strike Gatling Burst is a welcome addition to modern water warfare.
The REKT Jury Revolver Finally Appears!
January 28, 2022Umarex, the world’s largest producer of various air guns, airsoft guns, and replica firearms, dipped their toes into foam blasting with the Rekt Op Four and Op Six CO2-powered blasters. (Admittedly, my OP Six is still sitting in the basement, in need of testing). They planned to expand the line with the Jury…but then the pandemic happened, along with the associated manufacturing and shipping difficulties.
Now, however, the Jury is not only being released, but in a suprise move is already available for sale! Let’s take a look – and stick around to the end for a link to a giveaway!
The Batman Gauntlet Review
January 21, 2022It’s not a comic movie without merchandise, and The Batman is no exception. We don’t always get foam-flinging tie-ins, but when we do, they’re worth a look.
The Gauntlet won’t be setting any performance records. Far from it! But for the kid who wants to be Batman during playtime, it’s a nifty addition to the collection.
