My first experience with the NERF Vortex Revonix360 Blaster came on September 17, when I joined seven other Chicago-area Parent Bloggers at a Hasbro Hot Toys Lunch. Grownups playing with toys at a nice restaurant (312 Chicago) is always a good thing, but when when of these showed up here at Rock Father HQ last month, all bets were off. Recommended for Ages 8+, this bad boy holds 30 lightweight foam discs that can be fired up to 65' away! And, you can do trick shots like bouncing them off of things. It's surprisingly accurate, and the only blaster that I'm including in my 2013 Holiday Gift Guide. Lets just say it could get me into some trouble...

What Hasbro says:"Hit the battlefield with long-range firepower with the Revonix 360 Blaster! This is the farthest-firing Vortex blaster yet and it comes with a huge ammo store of 30 long-range XLR discs. Hold down the trigger to unleash a constant stream of discs at your target as fast as you can slide the Slam Fire handle! The Roto-Action barrel rotates as you fire! With a range of 65 feet, you'll dominate the battlefield with the Revonix 360 Blaster!"

What The Rock Father says: It's exactly as advertised, and a fine winter replacement for our supersoakers, given the amount of time being spent indoors for the next few months.
