NERF at Toy Fair 2017 – Prepare to be judged

Lets just get this out of the way: When it comes to NERF this year, everyone is going to be talking about The Judge.

As with every year, Hasbro is going to increase its NERF arsenal, and this year the company seems to be focusing on both accuracy and firepower.

Upon entering the NERF portion of the Hasbro showroom this year, we were immediately drawn to the NERF Doomlands section towards the back. Our guide for the presentation was busy reloading all 30 darts into the brand new cannon, The Judge.

This monstrosity holds 30 darts in 10 three-dart configurations. It’s pump action. Upon firing, it will let loose that cluster of three at the same time. In other words, despite having 30 darts, you only get 10 shots with this behemoth, but boy does it ever look impressive when you see it up close.

We bemoaned the lack of rapid fire capabilities, so our guide jumped us out of order and took us back to see the latest edition to the Rivals line-up, the 100-round Rival Nemesis. This bad boy not only has a massive shot capacity, but it also has the quickest load time ever for the Rivals line with a top opening breach that will allow you to drop in handfuls of balls at once. When you’re ready to fire its batteries, spin up the auto-fire mechanism and you can unleash hot NERF death upon your foes.
