As the name suggests, NERF’s new range of Rival Curve Shot blasters allows you to shoot rounds on a curve (left, right, straight or down) to surprise opponents even when hiding around the corners. In fact, it is an ideal secondary weapon to have in close combat.
The NERF Rival Curve Shot range starts with three blaster models, which are outlined below, as well as pricing, pre-order and release date.
NERF RIVAL CURVE SHOT FLEX XXI-100 ($ 14.99): The smallest and cheapest side arm in the Curve Shot range has 5 NERF competitive rounds with on-board storage. Pull off the ignition handle to open the part, load 1 round and close the part. Then select your curve with the rotating snout and press the trigger fire.
The Curve Shot Flex XXI-100 will be launched on March 1, 2021, but may soon be available here at Amazon, here at Walmart, and soon at Entertainment Earth.
NERF RIVAL CURVE SHOT SIDESWIPE XXI-1200 ($ 24.99) The next blaster in the Curve Shot series features a rifle design with a 12-round internal drawer and 12 official Nerf Rival rounds. Load the magazine, move the fill bolt and push the trigger to fire 1 round.
The Curve Shot Sideswipe XXI-1200 will be launched on March 1, 2021, but may soon be available here at Amazon, here at Walmart, and soon here at Entertainment Earth.
NERF RIVAL CURVE SHOT HELIX XXI-2000 ($ 29.99) The HELIX XXI-2000 blaster is the most powerful blaster in the Curve Shot series. Pump the handle to prime and push the trigger to release 1 lap at a speed of 90 feet per second. It contains 20 official NERF RIVAL impact rounds that can be loaded into an easy container.
The Curve Shot Helix XXI-2000 is an exclusive target launched on August 1, 2021. Again, pre-orders are likely to drop here at Target well before the date.
On a related note, Disney’s weekly Mando Mondays event has produced fantastic new products based on the hit series Star Wars: The Mandalorian. However, the Amban Phase-Pulse Blaster replica from Nerf was definitely one of the best.
The Amban Phase-Pulse Blaster / Sniper Rifle was part of the Mandalorian range as one of the primary weapons used by Din Djarin. The Nerf replica blast is over 50 meters long (50.25 inches) and features sound effects and an electronic range with an illuminated lens thanks to two AAA batteries (not included).
The blaster contains ten arrows that load one by one into the pop-up pants. To fire, pull back the fill handle, followed by the trigger. Given the size of this rifle and the activation of the handle, we would not expect Mando’s Nerf rifle to be a long-range weapon – but it would probably be the coolest blaster in your arsenal.
Pre-orders for the Nerf Star Wars The Mandalorian Amban Phase-Pulse Blaster are now available via the links below for $ 119.99.
