Preview: Alternate colour Recon CS-6

Clear + Red Recon CS-6. Same Same but different:)

The Recon is a bit like a supermodel, it looks awesome, is slim and sexy and appears very versatile but inside, there's not a whole lot of depth. That being said, who turns down a supermodel? And therefore in the world of apartment close -contact- role- play- guys- jumping- around- like- idiots (and poor expression!), what could be better? I'll tell you what. Alternate colour schemes (or lack of).


I received my new red and clear Recon CS-6's today. Performance-wise, they're pretty much identical to the regular yellow one. Come with the same attachments, come with the same internals.

Yup, 3 Recons. 

What makes them just a LIL' bit cooler is their alternate façades.  Red Recon is the same colour scheme as its  Super Soaker Shot Blast cousin. You know what that means...

Just like supermodels, they can seamlessly swap accessories! No more "oh that dress clashes with my heels" or "that stock clashes with my butt" :P

The clear series Recon also has the ability to now look seamlessly sexy with other clear series blaster accessories. Not that.. there are that many..

Looks tuff, does it not?:) I admit I was surprised the clear Recon didn't come with a clear clip (or even the translucent that come with the tactical vest) but it still looks the part.

And then, for the colour blind and stylishly challenged, or those who just want to break out and clash..

"OMG. That Recon doesn't have a mirror at home"

Like mixing stripes and spots, just because you CAN.. doesn't mean you should:)

Haven't seen the clear Recons anywhere in Australia just yet, but online they're selling for similar prices to the originals. The red Recon is a lil more rare (think it was a Target or Walmart US exclusive) so it'll sell for a bit more.
