Pics courtesy of the Toy Spy, but various sources all over the webs are buzzing over news from the NYC Toy fair, offering more info in the upcoming Nerf Rebelle line. It actually looks pretty cool; check more images after the jump as well as the Toy Spy's interview with 'Caitlin' who showcases the new phone app cradle, much like that found in the Lazer Tag Augmented Reality line.

| Interesting dart holders here:) |
Also featured is the new 'Blazin' Bow' - which seems to feature the N-Strike logo and uses foam arrows unlike the Rebelle Heartbreaker which shoots Elite darts.
Vortex looks like it's back, sans the gawd awful original green shells and replacing them with the much favoured white red and grey. Most of what appears in the below pics look like reshelled blasters, but I do like the look of the one on the table:)
The flames on the Revonix really cross a line for me will likely be the first blaster I have to paint which is a shame. as I hate paint.
ReplyDeleteI totally guessed right about the revonix but i wonder if the disks are stacked away from the center of the drum or are they parallel like the drum for the pyragon and get flipped horizontal into the barrel?
ReplyDeletehahahahaha! the larger crossbow is a reshelled strongarm, lol
ReplyDeleteNotice the guys on the Vortex boxes are now all smiles. Are they just happy that their girl friends now have their own blasters, or did Nerf decide that the near-scowls of the previous models were driving away soccer-moms?
ReplyDeletechoose one color for vortex already!
ReplyDeleteEven though Hasbro has launched this toward girls, it will probably be mostly guys that pick up these blasters. I for one think that the "Crossbow" is like a reshelled Strongarm, and in a comfortable shell.
ReplyDeletewhat is the vortex blaster on the bottom right of the pic????
ReplyDeleteI dont care if its a reshelled strongarm, my strongarm dont prime from the bottom, and has no stock. That thing will look wicked with a paint job.
ReplyDeleteWhile I believe the clothing line is a bit over the top with the Rebelle line (just like when Pocket had a rant about Nerf scooters, skateboards and cameras which were not compatible with Nerf blasters); if it sells well then Hasbro has done it's job.
ReplyDeleteThe Vortex line is what I'm really interested in. When the Vortex line first came out; people complained that green disks in out-door gameplay is a terrible idea, but when the Pyragon came out with the orange disks the Nerf community rejoiced and loved it. The aesthetics of the Pyragon itself were also praised.
So coming soon we have the Proton, Vigilon and Praxis re-released in Pyragon style; with orange disks and white paint with the Pyragon also gaining a new decal (note green flames). There are also orange disk refills and 10 round clips.
So how do Hasbro expect us to shell out more money for orange and white? I'm hoping for a somewhat "Elitified" internals hurling the disks or "Elite Disks" further than ever before. Even slam fire in the Vigilon might get the masses buying them.
My final comment applies to the Revonix; how does it work with the barrel magazine, are the barrel magazines interchangable and how is it different to the Pyragon?
Looks like even the Diatron got a re-shell already... That has GOT to be a record.
ReplyDelete"TEK RECON HAVOK" MULTI-PLAYER GUN GAME WITH IPOD, IPHONE, ANDROID HEADS UP DISPLAY COMPATIBILITY, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO HASBRO'S LTAR BUT FIRES DISCS INSTEAD OF LASERS. WOW!!!!
