About this deal

The Pillager's Crossbow isn't what we expected it to be. If anything, it's better. Even though it looks clunky and imprecise, this is a powerful blaster with enough range to give you a fighting chance in soft-play battle. Want maximum flexibility to go with value for money? This option is perfect for hot summer days outside. Bringing together Nerf and its Hasbro-owned sibling, the Super Soaker, this option shoots water from a 40floz tank while also firing Nerf darts from a barrel at the top. It's the best of both worlds. Zuru then invested in engineering and manufacturing with the goal of becoming a true challenger to Nerf, with prices that were 40% lower for consumers, and higher margins for retailers. That helped it gain a foothold in discount mass merchants, while Nerf had more of its inventory at Toys R Us, and was hurt when that retailer went bankrupt and liquidated its stores.

A Nerf TikTok channel, to be launched later this month. Nerf will be the first Hasbro brand to join the platform The top rival invading Nerf’s turf has been Zuru, which over the past decade has built its X-Shot brand into a worthy competitor. Hasbro’s vision for Nerf parallels its vision for itself - to be a global player in entertainment, gaming, experiences, sports and social media, in addition to selling a lot of toys. Nerf has really created an identifiable community where people’s self image is tied in with Nerf,” Byrne said. “Where they say ‘I’m a Nerf player.’ And that’s really important. It’s like I carry a Louis Vuitton bag or wear Christian Louboutin shoes, or i drive a Tesla.” Nerf Ultra : New Nerf darts that fly further than others. Only compatible with Nerf Ultra blasters.

Hasbro has such a dominant position in the blasters category that it is the equivalent of having a 1,000-to-one dart advantage in a blaster battle. But competitors have been able to steal a bit of its market share in recent years.

Plus, it has versatility to spare. Tactical rails allow you to add numerous accessories should you want to upgrade down the road, and you can clip on everything from scopes to better grips if you have the budget or inclination. You can even add a shoulder rest if you want to level up what is already one of the best Nerf guns. When combined with its cowboy-esque loading mechanism, it's a solid all-rounder. Hasbro has a toy portfolio of close to 1,500 brands but only a few of those are what it calls “franchise brands” - properties like Nerf, Transformers, Monopoly, Power Rangers, Play-Doh. Those brands are viewed as having the ability to create value in all three of Hasbro’s core businesses: consumer products, digital gaming, and entertainment, as outlined by CEO and Chairman Brian Goldner in an Investors Day presentation last month. Warner, in a Forbes.com interview, said he and his team will be using four pillars to expand the brand: Watch, Live, Play, and Shop. Some of the plans in progress for Nerf include: It was a category we were deemed relatively mad to enter into as there was such prominent representation in the space,” said Anna Mowbray, CEO of Zuru. Expansion of the Nerf family entertainment arcade concept, Nerf Action Xperience Centers, which opened its first location in Singapore in 2019. Two additional locations in the United Kingdom and two in the United States are in the works.Nerf is partnering with a Mexican investment fund to open licensed Hasbro-themed family entertainment centers across Mexico. Why this D&D actual play series featuring the voices of Geralt and FF16's Clive is going to be the next big thing

Nerf’s expansion into entertainment-driven roles comes as smaller, but increasingly skillfull, competitors are gunning for some of its market share.

Nerf, according to Tom Warner, Hasbro senior vice president and general manager of the Nerf Brand, is “a cross-generational brand that has stood the test of time.” He sees Nerf as a brand “with all the love and all the elements where we can go beyond just being a toy brand.” Oops, I've turned Baldur's Gate 3 into a soap opera RPG because I can't stop flirting with everyone While other blasters feature battery-powered mechanisms, this takes things to the next level. As well as rounds that fire at 110 feet per second, it provides enormous, easy-reload ammo hoppers to help you stay in the game for longer. Tactical rails leave you space to store extra rounds, too. However, he noted, Nerf has something that is very hard to beat - 52 years of brand building and a name with cachet.

Her company’s first attempt to enter the category was a combo water gun and dart blaster that was a flop. “It was a terrible water blaster and a terrible dart blaster. But it certainly got us into the category,” she said. Nerf is a very important franchise brand for Hasbro,” Eric Nyman, Chief Consumer Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, Consumer Products, at Hasbro, said in a Forbes.com interview. “We feel like there’s a lot of growth to come, which is one of the things we’re really excited about as we think about the opportunity we have across those three operating units to extend Nerf.” Nerf Rival : Another set of pellets that will only fit Rival blasters (they're bigger than Hyper pellets, so won't work on those either).

Add to their fun time with our range of Nerf Blasters and toys that cater to various play preferences, ensuring hours of engagement and physical activity. As Nerf evolves into more of a multi-media and multi-dimensional brand, Warner says his team will be careful to not lose sight of “the bread and butter at our core - where Nerf starts- which is the toy.” But, he added, “I think we have earned the right to take it beyond that.”
