Now That The Girls Are Getting Their Own Nerf Line Of Weapons...


 
The battle for the home computer and the bathroom will never be the same. I like that crossbow but the idea of collectible darts is just stupid. I also want to test how well these darts work when tip in gasoline and lit on fire. They should work the same way as holy water dipped darts do when they hit a vampire's face.

"Rebelle". I have a soft spot for wordplay so I actually dig the name.

I'm curious how taking a traditional weapon toy that wouldn't ordinarily be marketed towards a young female demographic and painting it pink will draw buyers, but I do give points for going unhead with something so "unconventional". I'd like to see what the TV spots for this would look like. Often girl's toys will be marketed as if the toy is operated by some kind of unseen magic element, something you can't really picture with a gun toy.

I stand corrected, it looks like pink guns are nothing new at all.

Guns are never marketted to girls unless there is some PMS joke included in the pitch.

They should just turn the darts into tampons for added humility factor. Who wants to get shot with a tampon? NOBODY.
