New RIVAL series
First of all,"Thanks" to Buffdaddy over at Blaster Hub for the original source of information about these up coming products. It seems that from DPCI product listings the PHANTOM CORPS is going to be a another TARGET exclusive.
The PHANTOM CORPS is a RIVAL sub-series of white blasters verses the choice between red or blue that RIVAL enthusiasts have had to make. It's still up for speculation as to weather or not there will any special blasters released under this series, but I suspect it will only be repaints of RIVAL blasters we already have in new packaging?
So far we know of just 4 products from the list and can only guess based on that information and what we already know about RIVAL. The list reads as follows:
087-11-0992 : Phantom Corps Face Mask White Exclusive;
087-11-0993 : Phantom Corps Apollo XV-700 White Exclusive;
087-11-0994 : Phantom Corps Hera MXVII-1200 White Exclusive;
087-11-1019 : Nerf Phantom Corps Bandanna.
What the exclusive white face mask may look like? |
My concept of the PHANTOM CORPS APOLLO |
From this we know the color scheme is going to be white- no brainer there. We can also see the APOLLO and a blaster called the HERA MXVII-1200. Now some people are excited that this is a new blaster, but I'm afraid it's just a repaint of the ZEUS. We shall see? A new white mask will also be available, that I imagine will be very similar to the red and blue RIVAL masks.
Weather any "gimmicks" or maybe a different color ammo will be part of this new series is also yet to be seen. No pictures are available as of right now so I went ahead and took the liberty of "visualizing" what things may look like. No prices were listed and no release date is known at this time either but I'll update any new information as soon as possible.
NERF ON NERFerS!!!
