NERF LMTD SHARP92 BLASTER

(HASBRO/Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $29.99/Available for pre-order starting September 9, 2022 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET) The NERF Retro line celebrates 30 years of dart blasting, paying tribute to iconic blasters from the past! The Sharp92 blaster brings back the NERF Sharp Shooter, which was released in 1992 and was the first Nerf blaster to fire the now iconic NERF foam darts, launching a whole new way to blast into adrenaline-pumping outdoor play. The blaster is a reproduction of the original Sharp Shooter dart blaster, so you can relive those first NERF battles and create new memories as you blast into new NERF games. The nostalgic blast from the past continues with the package itself, which captures the look of the original package. And like the Sharp Shooter blaster from 1992, the Nerf LMTD Sharp92 blaster includes suction-tip darts. Fire into fun in 3 easy steps. Pull back the handle, load a dart into the barrel, and squeeze the trigger. Includes blaster, 3 suction-tip NERF darts, and sticker sheet. Eyewear recommended (not included). Available for pre-order exclusively at Hasbro Pulse and Amazon on September 9, 2022 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET.

Fair warning, these blasters hit harder than any other gel pellet shooting toys I’ve tried. Definitely use the included eye protection! That being said, this was great to try out and I hope there’s more coming from UnlocX in the future.

Hasbro/SpinMaster Vs All Other Gel Blasters

Toy Water Bead Blasters at Center of U.S. International Trade Commission Investigation

The article above is to the Toy Book, and James over there is infinitely more qualified about sounding off on this than I am.

HOWEVER, I did work on Razor Vapor years ago, so I do have some background on encountering some of the patents that Maya Group held and are now owned by Spin Master.

To be honest, I’m piecing a lot of this together and especially since I was tagged on an inflammatory Twitter account that has a lot of other information on this situation. Check the Toy Book article first, and I’ll update this page when I feel I have it complete.

K’Nex comes back to Blasters – CyberX

Well, didn’t see this coming – K’Nex Released K-Force awhile back, and while it was fun the builds were a little time consuming for folks used to a “tear the box open and blast” experience.

It looks like they’re trying again with CyberX? I don’t know much about this line yet, but hopefully I’ll hear something in the coming months.

NERF MASCOT INBOUND

Nerf is FINALLY rolling out a mascot. Meet Murph!     Unleash the Play in You.

Made completely out of official NERF dart “materials, Murph is the personification of the playful spirit – the one that can only be unleashed with NERF.  They’re a natural athlete, great at NERFoop and an expert at surprise NERF Super Soaker ambushes. They can also toss a NERF Vortex Football like no other and, of course, are a fantastic trick shooter with any NERF blaster.”

I’m curious to see where this goes, the brand has needed a character to rally kids around, and something like Murph could easily travel the multiverse of Nerf brands. With Nerf making theme parks, mobile tours, virtual reality, and social media, it’s only natural to have a mascot that can appear at those places too.

And, it’s a camouflage suit. I’d wear this just cause it’s the silliest thing ever and I am all for that! #nerfnation

Dart Zone Pro Tournament – It’s BEGUN

Dart Zone PRO TOURNAMENT

#Only1Pro and #DartZoneProTour

Dart Zone is a sponsor of the Foam Pro Tour this year, here’s what you need to know to participate! Thanks to them for sending a sweet swag box AND a Dart Zone Pro Mk III to get the word out!

Qualifier rounds are already underway with the next event taking place on April 23, in Moorestown, New Jersey. The top two teams from each Foam Pro Tour qualifier will advance to the finals and compete for cash prizes in the ultimate Dart Zone Pro Tournament end game in Rochester, NY, July 2022. You must compete in the Foam Tour to advance to the DartZone Pro Tournament. 

Register here: https://dartzoneblasters.com/dart-zone-pro-tournament/ 

Prizes!

1st Place Team: $10,000 ($2,000 per player)

2nd Place Team: $4,000 ($800 per player)

3rd Place Team: $1,250 ($250 per player)

You will tag and use the #Only1Pro and #DartZoneProTour

The competition is only open for ages 14+

More about the Final:

As part of the finals, Dart Zone® will supply the top 8 teams exclusively with their pro line of blasters leveling the playing field and ensuring gamesmanship and ability determine who comes out on top. There will be #Only1Pro. 

I’ve seen a couple of different tournaments in the past, but this is going to be very different from any of that. I imagine the field layouts for each Qualifier are going to be the same, and there’s an actual larger blaster company backing this tournament, which is not something I see all the time.

I wish all the players luck, since not a single Qualifier is not really near me, but maybe this will expand in the future. I know a lot of you out there are chomping at the bit to test your skills, if you are near one of the Qualifiers go ahead and give it a try!

Good job to the folks at Dart Zone for being a part of something like this, it’s not often one of the main companies does the amount of outreach to the niche fandom that Dart Zone has. But they have painstakingly carved out their niche in this blaster population, and deserve all the recognition and accolades. The Foam Pro Tour may not be in my state this year, but hopefully I’ll find some of you on the field elsewhere.
