Nerf News: Drac Visits the Toy Fair, Blasters Confirmed, Blasters Leaked, and More!


Drac Visits the Toy Fair, Blasters Confirmed, Blasters Leaked, and More!
I am the very model of a Modern Major General...
OK, I have a lot of ground to cover, so please bear with me.  This is a rather long post, covering lots of news...

Lord Draconial Visited the Hasbro Toy Fair, and got a look at some really cool blasters!  Including the new Accumegas!  I am rather excited, and cannot wait for the accumega's release, but while I wait, let's go over some of the other blasters that are coming up for release.

Here we go! (It's all after the break)




Microshots:
All three of the micro-shot blasters that owl nerf community predicted for series 2 are confirmed.  Upcoming Jolt Reskins:

(When do we get a micro-micro shots jolt?)  LOL

Elite:
My personal favorites.  The Elite Infinus looks to live up to the hype, being a rapidstrike pushing mechanism with a working loading mechanism.  Drac said he may buy a few just for loading clips at the SENC wars.  Possibly meaning they are compatible with all clips?
New Elite Blasters include:

The Nerf Elite Infinus
Update 2/23/18:
Coop intentionally tried to jam the blaster, and he couldn't.  You can even load darts backwards.  The system also works with different magazines!  The gimmick is useful for once!  Both Coop and Drac have suggested getting several to just load darts!




The Nerf Elite Delta Trooper
This was a slight disappointment.  Not a re-shelled delta trooper, but what looks to be an updated…retaliator.

It was teased in the video, but technobuffalo came out with a better picture:

But, after seeing Drac’s review, it looks REALLY COOL with it’s attachments.

There is also the mystery blaster that may be a re-shelled Quadrant: (The accublaster?)

UPDATE: 2/20/18  Mystery blaster revealed to be the Scout 2.0.  This blaster is a four shot cylinder that primes on trigger pull, so it probably is a quadrant remake/remold.

The Nerf Flybar Scooter
I thought this was a joke, but just realized…wait, this is real!  I only have the first person perspective, as the front facing photo had a watermark.
Below is a picture without a watermark of what is called the “Nerf Cow.”

Looks like a rhinofire on wheels.

Rival:
These are all known, and were the main focused blasters in Drac’s videos:

Zombie Strike:

I mean, they had two new blasters so I am going to post it…

Won’t be compatible with Vulcan chains (Bummer), but should be a pump-actins springer with a chain  25 round capacity!  SELL EXTRA CHAIN’S HASBRO!!!  Not a re-shell, but a brand-new blaster!  Exciting!

Modulus
New Chronograph/Ammocounter.  Hopefully, they expand to more lines!

Top shows ammo, bottom shows FPS!

With a Display light for dark areas too!  Great idea Hasbro!

Mega

The New Thunderbow


The New Mega Accustrike darts.  Said by Drac to be more accurate, and bonus!  They make a cool sound!

Meanwhile, on Baudi and (Japan) Nerf Market
Leaked on Baudi, then removed, it popped up on another nerf market in…japan, and then re-appeared on Baudi. It is undetermined if these blasters are real.  I myself will follow up if these are real or not when I can.  Either they’re real, or these are amazing photoshops.
Let’s take a look at what we have, shall we:
Elite Surestrike:

Rather than it’s original clearshot scope, it includes an elite pinpoint sight!  But it is still a recolor of the clearshot.

Again, a recolor with the new amazing-looking elite darts.  Not too much here.
Elite Stryfe CQ-10

This is where things (may) get interesting.  There is a new letter code.  CQ-10.  C = Clip, but what does Q mean?  (theories are that this means Close Quarters) Includes parts from the modulus stryfe + the modulus stock and includes a 10 dart banana clip.  (mmm…tacticool!)


Accustrike Stratohawk

Another rapidstrike?  Yes, please.  Includes a 25 dart drum and the modulus long range kit.  I cannot say much about the kit, but 25 accustrike darts?  WOO HOO

Accustrike Talonstrike

Recolor of the Elite Sidestrike.  Looks nice, compact, (boxy), and includes Accustrike darts!

I honestly do not know if these are real or not.  I am not saying they ARE, I am not saying they AREN’T.  I’ll have to keep looking around the NIC for more info.  Multiple members of the NIC have said that if these aren’t real, they are VERY HIGH-CLASS Doctored Photos.

(Note, I am sorry for any incoherent sections that may be in here, there was a LOT of news at ONE time.)
Update: My sincere apologies.  I accidentally misspelled a word that had a euphemism instead of the intended verb.  I do my best to keep my posts clean, and I am glad I caught the mistake.  Again, my apologies.
