Nerf has turned the Mandalorian’s signature rifle into a 1.27m long foam flinger

Nerf has perfected the art of creating toy blasters that are both utterly useless and impossibly entertaining, and now it’s upping the ante with a new special edition rifle from a galaxy far, far away. The 1.27 meter long foam flinger is a faithful recreation of the Mandalorian’s signature Amban Phase-pulse Blaster ($119), and features series-accurate features including blaster sounds, an electronic scope with an illuminated lens, a breech-loading mechanism, a true-to-show wood-textured stock with inlaid bracket, and weathered deco that suggests the firearm has done a few tours in Tatooine. Unfortunately, the rifle will only be shipped out in January 2021, so if you’re after a Christmas present this won’t quite fit the bill. Alternatively, if you’re simply looking to dominate the office with the ruthless precision of a Beskar-clad bountry hunter when the 9-to-5 foam wars recommence next year, this is undoubtedly the way.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
