Hasbro Nerf Showroom 2012!

Hey all!  Back from the Nerf/Hasbro showroom, and while I have plenty of photos, wifi in the hotel = not so good.

I can do a few photos at a time, and for now here’s some of the good stuff.  Most notably, the only new blaster on hand was the Snapfire 8.  8 shots, Dart tag line, and a trigger pull primes the blaster, rotates the turret, and there is a bottom dial on the handle to determine range vs. rate of fire.  Videos to follow, once I get a better connection!

In the meantime enjoy some of the new photos.  Also notable, a new Snake Eyes foam sword, The Furyfire GI Joe redo, and the BBB and Captain America blaster for The Avengers.  We also saw new Hulk hands, that had no sound, but were foam, not the pillow versions previously out there.

Miss lazer tag? Need something new brought to the table? Have an iPhone, or iPod Touch? Nerf hears you!

Looks like Nerf’s bringing Lazer Tag back in a big way, by making Lazer Tag blasters that have a cradle to attach one’s iPod Touch or iPhone!  Looks like this will be at Toy Fair, so I’ll have a closer look then hopefully.  In the meantime, enjoy this link to engadget, where I first ran across the story:
