Spotted this via ExtremeNerf but Bankcroft.de posted an unboxing video of The Nerf ZombieStrike Sledgefire!
Video is below – it’s in German though, just so you know.
Definitely jazzed about seeing this for myself now, it definitely looks like it has better firing on all three darts as opposed to the Triple Shot, which performed better singled. It loads like a grenade launcher though (at least, I think so) so besides the reliance on shells (which I hope are sold in separate packs) we’ll just have to continue to wait until these are out everywhere. Nice job, Bankcroft!
So, first saw Atamaii‘s video pop up on Urban Taggers and here we are, ZOMBIESTRIKE. FROM NERF. At least through 2014. Here’s the video followed by some screencaps of interest from the video (edited to properly link Atamaii’s web site in addition to the youtube channel and clarify screen caps came from Atamaii’s video) –
Unsurprisingly, reminiscent of the triple shot. Obviously, the “shell” isn’t in.
Hammershot, I imagine it would fit in the SWEET REVENGE holster as well, but only one way to know for sure.
SIDEstrike/holster. Accomodates the Firestrike as well apparently.
CROSSFIRE CROSSBOW
It… well, fires darts and has dart holder storage. No surprises. Still want one.
Fuse Fire. Jury is out until I can try it.
Ricochet. Small sidearm, supposedly a new Scout for people to use.
Targeting set (that’s the Vantage/Srike Blade in the front) Look! A new Jolt, and it has ammo holders! Sweet!
Targets. Zombie Targets with the Targeting Set.
Z-Bombs. Looks like they were taken after the water bombs from Super Soaker but retooled a bit. I see a saw blade(?), a brick, that rocket looking thing and what could be a proper football. Also, you see the pouch to hold them.
Z-Bombs. Word.
The pouch for Z Bombs.
A “Starter Kit” and the bandana.
NERF MACHETE
NERF MACHETE (AGAIN)
Unfortunately, it looks like everything is under glass. A few more Target exclusives it looks like beyond the Hammer Shot and Sledge Fire, and I’m pretty sure I saw “Jan ’14” as a release date for some of those things above. There’s a very good chance that this stuff will be out even before the New York Toy Fair, so cross your fingers that a good amount of this will be ready in time for the holidays even!
TL; DR –
SledgeFire – I’m wary about how the shells are going to work and play, but I’ll be able to judge better once I actually have it. I just hope the shells will also be sold in a mission kit.
HammerShot – Now, please.
Crossfire Crossbow – See above.
Nerf Machete – See above and above.
Z bombs – So, instead of socks…? But I like the idea of a foam brick to toss around.
Sidestrike/FuseFire/Ricochet/Targeting Set – I’m a little eh, but will reserve excitement for seeing them firsthand.
ZombieStrike Blade – It’s…. a Vantage. While I do like seeing N-Force ideas are not entirely out the window just yet (they did say it would be supported at last year’s party, so nice to see them come through in a way.)
Also….. NERF MACHETE.
Overall, I’m really looking forward to the line and can’t wait to try them out. Between the Hammer Shot and the SledgeFire, that’s a good amount of innovation from the start. If the Crossbow is comfy and the Machete robust, I will be a happy camper.
Compiled by a few redditors, including Bobololo from the HvZ Forums & Mr. K of AFON this is a pretty good list of what’s coming out and how much it will cost. They’re planning to update as necessary, but if you’re going to start setting aside $$$ or making a list to give to pertinent family members… this gives you an idea of what the amount you’re looking at is.
The comprehensive total?
Elite & Zombiestrike $276.89 Rebelle Only $129.92 All Blasters & Accessories $406.81 All Blasters $322.87 (In USD)
