Nerf rebelle reviews
I can’t help but think Hasbro could come up with a much better bow and crossbow blaster though, I want a medieval Nerf Range now! The dart holder is a cool tactical rail attachment, and this should look great on other blasters. Design wise this is nice, though smallish, with bow arms maxing out at 63cm tip to tip. This truly is heartbreaking (pun intended). The drawstring does nothing to aid range. Even with a weak spring mechanism and not a bow mechanism it should have been better than that. Oh dear lord what happened to the range on this one? Given the packaging was open and this had obviously been used prior to arrival with me I’m going to call it a dud and assume range is not around 6 to 10ft which is all I could manage. Nerf Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow Mini ReviewĪnother bad name, ugh, Heartbreaker, really Hasbro? Oh well can’t do much about that now, upside girls and bows are the in thing (Katniss, Merida, Abigail), so let’s take a look. Range came in at around 40-45ft in a closed hallway.
It looks cool without the bow addition and that is how I’ll be using it I think. The Pink Crush comes with an optional ‘bow’ attachment, but this is really just a bit of plastic you can clip to the front if you like, it serves no purpose other than the aesthetic and is fairly flimsy overall. ugh, name aside, this seems to essentially be a glorified Nitefinder or Firestrike. =- Nerf Rebelle Pink Crush Mini Review Range for this one was oddly lower than expected, averaging around 35-40ft in a closed hallway. Accessory whores will find one small tactical rail atop the bow. The overall design of the blaster though is great, with the bow string drawn back when primed and the shoulder stock being comfortable enough, at least for my small stature. The ‘bow’ aspect of the blaster is really a gimmick in many ways with the bow arms being fairly short (30cm tip to tip). The Nerf Rebelle Guardian Crossbow is essentially a six-shot pump action blaster that can do single shot or rapid shot with the trigger held in and multi-pump action. Nerf Rebelle Guardian Crossbow Mini Review Overall this is a sweet blaster, there is definitely something to be said about hammer primed blasters… cool! A small gripe, but something that should have been covered by the designers. Having said that you could still dual-wield like a boss, just the left sided blaster wouldn’t be holstered as tightly as the right. You can put the gun in the holster backwards, but it’s clearly meant to go one way. My only real negative for this blaster is that the gun slides into the accompanying holster one way and that way means if you’re left handed – like me – it’s on the wrong side if the gun is facing the right way. I did try the ‘fan-fire’ where you hold in the trigger whilst fanning the hammer with your palm for rapid fire, but it was a bit meh and quite sore on your hand after awhile. The gun comes with Vision Gear glasses, 5 darts and a holster. The range on it is pretty good (around 40-45ft in my hallway – so no wind etc.) and the hammer single action mechanism is so cool. The Nerf Rebelle Sweet Revenge might have a questionable name, but as Nerf blasters go I have to say I LOVE this one. Nerf Rebelle Sweet Revenge Mini Review (previously titled Wildfire apparently) Now onto those mini Nerf Rebelle reviews.
I did also state I liked the design of the blasters a lot and that hasn’t changed on seeing them first hand, in fact it has only grown. Right now that’s out of the way I will remind you that in my last article about Nerf Rebelle ( Rebelling Against Hasbro’s Rebelle Nerf Line) I was less than impressed at a few aspects of the range, most notably the lazy marketing of ‘paint it pink and call it girls’ and some of the present sexist hegemony in the toy industry as a whole. I’ll preface this by saying I got these from Hasbro and as much as I appreciate that fact, it will NOT taint a word in this article, that’s not how I work, so expect honesty here, but honesty based on one persons opinion obviously. I’ve decided to cobble together some Nerf Rebelle mini reviews. I’m baaaack and now I have actual Nerf Rebelle merchandise in my hot little Nerf loving hands.
