Toys R Us: Sonic Series Longstrike.. Hmmmm


Several months ago, we brought to your attention the amazing box art "concepts" from Nerf's Box design peeps- Indigo Studios. At the time we thought they were just showcasing what they could do, and produced designs for the Sonic Barricade REV-10, Longstrike CS-6, Stampede ECS and the Whiteout Spectre REV-5.

What's interesting is a peruse of Toys R Us in the US has the Longstrike available in Sonic finish for $35 US. What's more interesting is the release of the pics of a Sonic Series Barricade RV-10. That's two of the four "concepts" that have made it to release.. which now makes us wonder..

A sonic series Stampede ECS might ACTUALLY be coming? Or that uber hot Whiteout Spectre REV-5..

Indigo Studios: Packaging Portfolio gives me a happy

  1. SO far I've noticed every leak you've announced on here has come true; amazing stuff Pocket! I too am really looking forward to a Sonic Stampede- a transparent shield would be tough!

    Now, if only the 50 round drum was true..

  2. Yeah I'm now firmly of the belief those concepts are going to make it to release. Maybe in time for Christmas. They might not be as cool as a whole new blaster, but they are still some of the better looking repaints. A White Out Spectre would be on my Christmas list.

  4. Is it me or is Nerf putting a lot of attention in their less popular blasters with these repaints lately? Barricade and Longstrike are not what you would call fan favourites. And the release of the Sonic AND Whiteout versions of the Deploy which is also an ordinary gun. Seems like an odd decision.
