Prime Time Toys sent me their Legendfire Powershot Blaster to review. What follows is my honest review of the toy blaster. I have also made a video showing it in action.
The Legendfire Powershot Blaster has an interesting design and features. The blaster comes with 18 darts which can be loaded into two separate ammo cartridges or drums. There is also a clip (a tactical cartridge holder) so that you can carry the spare drum around with you while you are having your dart blaster fun. Being able to carry 18 pieces of ammo around with you and have it easy to switch in and out is a key feature to this blaster. The blaster works with Slamfire Power! What this means is that in order to deploy a dart you pull back on the slamfire mechanism and then to advance the drum you push forward. The trigger on the blaster is merely for show, it does not make the darts fire.
The blaster claims that the darts can fire up to 80 feet. while I did not do a distance test, I just don’t have the right facilities here to do that, I did fire off a bunch and they were very fast and true. This is a long barrel blaster and part of Prime Time Toys Dart Zone Covert Ops series. It is for ages 8 and up and retails for $14.99. I found it to be a pretty decent blaster. One drum worked a lot better than the other but I couldn’t spot the differences to see why. I was able to power through deploying 9 darts really quickly and then change my drum very quickly as well. The Legendfire would be a decent blaster to have in your arsenal when you are having a blaster fight with friends.
A few weeks ago I attended the Doctor Strange Press Junket, or rather #DoctorStrangeEvent, I was one of 25 bloggers there for Walt Disney Studios (Disclosure: All-Expenses Paid). When I learned that Benedict Wong has been cast as the character Wong in Doctor Strange I knew that I had to get out to this press trip. I had to be a part of it just so I could get a chance to talk to him, even if it was to ask a question and nothing more. I am a big fan of his work on Marco Polo and I had to refrain from addressing him as “Great Khan”. Seriously, he is a great actor and a presence on screen. In person he is an affable fellow who laughs and smiles easily. This is a very different person from his character in Doctor Strange. Wong is an incredibly serious character. He knows what is at stake should the sorcerers fail in their mission. He also knows that being the keeper of the library is important because the last librarian met with a pretty terrible fate.
For some reason Wong’s nature vexes Doctor Strange and he makes it his mission to get the guy to crack a smile. There are many scenes where Wong provides the comic relief just by being so stoic. Many of my favorite scenes were with Doctor Strange and Wong. So, when Benedict Wong entered the room I was so thrilled. We then began to ask him questions about his time working on Doctor Strange. I even got to ask one of the questions.
