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.

LEgendfire Powershot BlasterThe 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.

Review: Nerf Zombie Strike SlingFire

Carrying the SlingFire

Back when I was at Toy Fair I got to spend some time with the great Nerf toys. My favorite one of the bunch was the Zombie Strike SlingFire. When we were planning Eva’s Birthday Party I asked if I could get a few Nerf items to make the party extra special. We received the SlingFire and the Nerf Rebelle Rapid Red. Opinions of the toys are 100% my own.

The SlingFire is an excellent Nerf dart blaster. It looks great and has some fun features. My favorite feature is the way you can quickly load it. You can flick the blaster forward and back for one handed loading. I immediately thought of the movie Terminator 2 where the T-800 (Ahnold) is riding the Harley along the streets of LA and then spots John Conner. He’s riding along and there are locked chain link gates. The T-800 loads his shotgun in the most incredible way and blasts the locks off the gates. I was so tempted to hop on a BMX bike and re-create that with the SlingFire. Continue reading Review: Nerf Zombie Strike SlingFire
