Equipment: Nerf Announces Retro Blaster and Two Starfleet Phasers from Star Trek: The Next Generation

Last year Nerf announced a blaster based on the M41-A pulse rifle from one of the greatest science fiction films ever made, Aliens. The pulse rifle hasn’t been released yet but from the photos, looks like it is going to be outstanding. Now Hasbro has announced another prop replica turned Nerf and it is something I have wanted since I was a kid, a phaser rifle from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I have been a big fan of Nerf for a long time and they continue to impress me.

 

 

      Following this week’s exciting NERF collaboration announcement with mega sci-fi franchise Star Trek, fans were treated to an in-depth look at the NERF LMTD Star Trek Starfleet Type 3 Phaser and Starfleet Type 2 Phaser. The 2-pack is available for pre-order now at Hasbro Pulse and Amazon.

      The NERF team also revealed the all-new NERF LMTD SHARP92 Blaster, a retro throwback of the NERF Sharp Shooter that debuted 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 retro blaster is available for pre-order at Hasbro Pulse and Amazon.

      What’s more, the brand just launched into all-new territory: NERF Island on Roblox. Available now, this one-of-a-kind virtual experience is fully loaded with nothin’ but NERF. Players can unleash the play and blast targets all over NERF ISLAND to earn tickets that can be redeemed for awesome NERF-inspired virtual gear. In NERF Island on Roblox, you can feel the thrill of the new Roblox Zombie Attack Viper Strike blaster in action as you blast and snake your way to the top of the Viper Strike-inspired course. In October and November, fans can stay tuned for new rolled out updates to up the game and unlock more heart-pounding, hair-raising adventure on NERF ISLAND.

      NERF is officially coming to Hasbro Pulse Con 2022!
