NERF has two new, exciting toys that will keep you and your kids entertained in full action competition. Yes, I said YOU and your kids because NERF is fun for all ages! We had the chance to review 2 new NERF toys, the Super Soaker Thunderstorm and the NERF N-Strike Barricade Blaster, both motorized with lots of action!
NERF – Super Soaker Thunderstorm Review
If you have messed around with cheap squirt guns for your kids like I have then you know that cheap water guns are a complete disappointment and waste of money. The new NERF Super Soaker Thunderstorm is sure to help you win any water gun fight! Thunderstorm is motorized and fully automatic which means you don’t have to keep pulling the trigger for full blast water spraying action. Plus, you can hit your target from 25 feet away – ensuring that you get the target from a far distance, keeping you away from your competitors. The quick-reload water clip easily detaches from the water gun for easy refilling, then snaps right back into place.

The Super Soaker Thunderstorm is for kids ages 6 and up. My 6 year old son, Elijah was so excited to try out this water gun. He’s never had a motorized water gun, so it was a brand new experience for him. It’s a bit unfair though when he tries to get his sister or friends with this top notch water gun. I’m going to buy another Thunderstorm to make it fair to whomever he plays with.

NERF N-Strike Barricade RV-10 Review
My son got his first NERF gun from his papa last Christmas. It’s been a huge hit. When we were given the chance to review the new NERF N-Strike Barricade RV-10, I knew he would be super excited. This is waaaay more advanced than a traditional NERF gun (although he still plays with both, Papa!). The Barricade is motorized with a revolving barrel that holds 10 NERF darts. This motorized barrel allows the player to shoot the NERF darts with rapid fire power. There is no pumping, loading, or anything. Just pull the trigger to shoot your NERF darts at the target. You can even add on and interchange other NERF N-Strike series accessories to the Barricade for intense NERF action and play.

The Barricade is for ages 6 and up. Elijah, my 6 year old thought it was super cool that the barrel moved and all he had to do was pull the trigger for fast, intense firepower. He quickly learned the rules of not hitting people in the face, head, or eyes, as it could be very dangerous. And, not to hit at close range, as it is quite powerful. He’s got the rules down and enjoys blasting it across the room, at the windows, and outside.
