Nerf Star Wars Cassian Andor Eadu Deluxe Blaster...

The Nerf Star Wars Captain Cassian Andor Eadu Deluxe Blaster... and why I don't quite actually have one.


This is the actual  Cassian Andor Eadu Deluxe Blaster. It's another STRYFE re-shell with a barrel attachment, stock, and scope we've seen before. 





I haven't even seen one of these in real life, but I loved the looks of it at first sight, when a member of my Nerf community NERF or NOTHING first turned me on to it (Thnx Dave). This flywheel blaster fires glow-in-the-dark darts and features laser blast sound effects! This Star Wars themed Nerf blaster also features GlowStrike technology that creates glowing light effects and charges the darts to make them glow when fired. The blaster’s acceleration button powers up the motor for motorized action and unleashes 12 darts in a row with clip-fed blasting.
As much as I'd like to have one of these novelty Star Wars blasters I can't seem to find one for less than $80 US dollars, and that's just too much. So until I can find an economical solution, I've turned to what was already in my arsenal to see what I could put together. I still wouldn't mind picking one of theses blasters up on sale, but for now... I'll be satisfied with what I have.

I came close to the same look by putting together a STRYFE with a RAIDER stock and a SPECTRE barrel extension. I also added a CLEARSHOT scope, although the positioning isn't exactly the same because of the differences of the tactical rails.
Obviously  I don't have the  GlowStrike technology that creates glowing light effects and charges the darts to make them glow, or the "pew-pew" sound effects... but I could pull those from one of my DEATH TROOPER blasters. I picked up 2 of those for $8 each and could probably do a mod... but I probably won't.

Star Wars Rogue One Nerf Imperial Death Trooper Deluxe Blaster... I picked up 2 of these... on salefor 8 bucks a piece!                              
An even better way to duplicate the blaster would be to use a Jyn Erso Deluxe blaster instead of a STRYFE, but I don't have one of those either.

As it is I can put together a standard N-Strike Elite blue version of the blaster and a modified version based on my modified STRYFE, done in OG N-Strike yellow. I think they both look pretty good. Of course mine don't light up or make that cool "pew-pew" sound, but the modded version will hit 90 feet (the barrel doesn't help).

Here's another look at that stock factory blaster, and you know I'll let you know when I track one down for a reasonable price. Leave a comment below if you have one.
