Bay Area Nerf Exclusive: Buccaneer and Gladiator swords!
It looks like Buzz Bee has entered the foam melee arena with their new offering: the Air Warriors Buccaneer and Gladiator swords. While checking for more random DPCIs at Target to see if we could uncover any new or unannounced blasters we came across these. The Target inventory listing was a cryptic "Foam Swords" under DPCI 087-11-0346 for $9.99. When they pulled these out of the backroom, it surely wasn't what we were expecting.
The foam itself is very lightweight, but not as soft and squishy as most
of the Nerf weaponry we've seen so far. It's more akin to the Marauder
Long Sword, but much lighter. Each sword measures in at roughly 2 feet
from pommel to point, with the blades coming in a little under 19 inches.
The "blades" are thinner than most of the melee offerings from Nerf
(although we haven't been able to check out the new Zombie Strike
Machete). The handles are only meant for one handed use, but aren't so small that those with bigger hands will find the grip too short. The swords themselves feel fairly sturdy, and with the foam being more dense than some of Hasbro's melee alternatives, they may last a bit longer than their competitor. Hopefully field test will yield more conclusive results, specifically against some zombie hordes.
What do you think? Is this a smart move on Buzz Bee? Will you give these a shot? How do you feel about the color scheme? Let us know in the comments below!
