2017 Fall Exclusives!

With the official release date of the Fall NERF line fast approaching, I thought I would focus on two exclusive blasters that I'm sure will be in high demand... a new RIVAL and the return of a classic.

I'll start with the NERF RIVAL PHANTOM CORPS HERA MXVII-1200. I mentioned this blaster in May in my PHANTOM CORPS post. I had speculated the HERA might just be a ZEUS reshell but it's a whole new RIVAL flywheel blaster. A little more pistol like than the ZEUS, the HERA loads a magazine into the handle much like the APOLLO.The fly wheels are side by side instead of the over-under configuration, so the HERA has a wider profile than the ZEUS or APOLLO.
The HERA , like the rest of the Phantom Corps line, will be a TARGET exclusive and it is now said that it will sell for $60. Whether or not it will be produced in red and blue, and sold in other stores is  unknown?

Moving on...News has been leaked that a new repaint version of the 2013 Elite RAYVEN CS-18 will be available as a Kohl's exclusive in the US, presumably this fall. This news comes to us via Nerfer and Youtuber Hartley Ju. Some of you may recall when Hartley got his hands on a TWINSHOCK (another Fall release) back at the beginning of the year.
The blaster will be renamed the RAYVENFIRE and feature the newer Elite blue on white style color scheme. It will come with one 10 dart clip/mag that is white on one side and clear on the other, and 25 regular elite darts. Other than that it appears the RAYVENFIRE is the same as the Elite RAYVEN CS-18. The RAYVEN has remained so popular with fans and been in such high demand that this exclusive re-release is sure to be a hot seller. Kohl's isn't known for their low prices on NERF products and when a RECON MK II is $49.99... Let's just say that I have a feeling the RAYVENFIRE isn't going to be cheap.

Of course there will be plenty to choose from when the full Fall line hits shelves in a couple of weeks. Some products like the NEMESIS, REGULATOR and others are already out. It's probably not too early to think about what to ask Santa for Christmas?

So remember to be nice and...
