Like the bow, it can send the soft-impact ammunition soaring to distances of up to 75 feet. To use, slide the front handle to flex the bow arms back, then pull the trigger to send the projectiles ricocheting one at a time. The Nerf Rebelle Crossbow features a front-loaded barrel that can hold six foam darts at a time. It will also come with optional accessories, including a smartphone cradle for sniping at virtual targets from the upcoming mobile game. Like the Bow, this one goes heavy on the pink and purple, with a rotating barrel system similar to many Nerf pistols.

Not a fan of that old Robin Hood stick with a drawstring weapons system? If you prefer shooting with a burly stock for more accurate aiming, then the Nerf Rebelle Crossbow should be your foam-firing weapon of choice. The Nerf Rebelle Alpha Heartbreak Bow, which comes with five collectible darts, will retail for $19.99. Each dart will need to be loaded individually, although you can keep five at a time on a storage compartment right on the bow for easy reloading. When your target is in the crosshairs, pull back on the drawstring and release to launch your foam arrow at the target over distances of up to 75 feet. To use the Nerf Rebelle Alpha Heartbreak Bow, just load one of the darts in the front and take aim. Plus, the bow will be customizable with numerous add-ons Hasbro plans to release down the line (OMG, I just want multi-colored ribbons and a Hello Kitty with a flower on her head, pleeeez), as well as a smartphone app and a mounting cradle for your phone. And, yes, it loads heavy on the pink hue and girlish accents. The bow is clad in an undeniably feminine design, looking almost like a bird with outstretched wings. We’re guessing that’s the extent of the brainstorming process for the Nerf Rebelle Alpha Heartbreaker Bow, which lets you do the whole Katniss Everdeen thing with foam arrows. But that Hunger Games thing with crossbows and stuff - yeah, that will work. Most girls don’t care much for movies with machine guns and rocket grenades. Granted, these toys will likely stir some controversy for the gender stereotyping, but it’s not like that’s anything new, right? Read on below to see all the stuff you can you look forward to in the Nerf Rebelle line.

Oh yeah, they’re integrating it with social gaming aspects, too, making the whole thing a lot more suited to modern casual play than plain old “shoot em ups” the way boys like it. And while foam warfare has largely been the domain of boys (and men who act like boys), the Nerf Rebelle, which Hasbro is launching this Fall, will seek to balance out the scales.Īimed squarely at girls, the foam-firing weapons bring the same high-performance action as regular Nerfs but augment it with a more stylish design based on current pop culture trends (basically, whatever young girls like at the moment, so a Justin Bieber - or more like Selena Gomez - target isn’t completely out of the question). Well, I actually don’t know that, but everyone deserves to get rid of pent-up aggression by blasting foam projectiles into their targets of choice.

And they can do it with the rage of a thousand scorned wives.
