Epic Battle of Hero Nerf Blasters

STARLORD vs. CAPTAIN AMERICA


               Last Post of the First Month!           A Winner is Declared!



For the past month I've been conducting a poll on 2 Google+ communities as well as here at NERFARIUM. The poll was to determine which Marvel hero based blaster fans preferred, Star-Lord's QUADBLASTER or Captain America's STEALTHFIRE SHIELD. Both are more promotional and gimmicky than actual well preforming blasters, but still fun non the less. I own each and have posted reviews of each which you can read by clicking the links  Capt America STEALTHFIRE SHIELD and Star-Lord QUADBLASTER .
The battle waged on for a month and it was virtually an even match the whole time! Star-Lord would pull ahead in the polls by a couple of votes and just as fast the "Cap" would catch up and pull ahead. Now the votes have stopped coming in and I think it's time to call it and declare a winner. This poll was interesting because not only did we put 2 blasters up against each other but also the heroes who wield them. 
It might be worth mentioning that Captain America has been more recently seen in theatres back in May of 2015 in "Age of Ultron" and will be back again this May in "Civil War". Not to mention the other 3 movies he's been in, while Star-Lord hasn't been seen since "Guardians of the Galaxy" way back in August of 2014 and won't be back until "Guardians Volume2" in May of 2017. We may love Star-Lord but Captain America is a very, very popular guy!
Maybe face time with the public paid off for the Captain because the Marvel Captain America The Winter Soldier STEALTHFIRE SHIELD (yep, that's the full name) is the WINNER.

The winner- STEALTHFIRE SHIELD!
The STEALTHFIRE SHIELD won by a 57 to 43 percent margin, getting 24 out of 42 of the total votes. Star-Lord's QUADBLASTER was ahead in the poll several times and got a respectable 18 votes in the end.  I thought it was fun and much more interesting than the average mundane "what blaster is better?"- poll. Thanks to everybody who participated in the poll.

One more look at our competing blasters.
Captain America and his mighty shield are due back in theatres on May 6th in Captain America: Civil War. You never know, maybe there will be a new theme inspired Nerf blaster and a brand new poll? What would you think about that?
