Mandalorian Merch: Hasbro Selling Mando's Rifle, Which Fires Nerf Bullets

"This is the Wait"

By Rain Noe - December 9, 2020

The original "Star Wars" was the first film to successfully market an affiliated toy line, leading to an industry now worth billions. "The Mandalorian," Disney +'s hit series set in that universe, is continuing the trend with Hasbro's reproduction of the titular character's fork-pronged rifle.

The Mandalorian Amban Phase-pulse Blaster, as it's officially called, is an enormous (over four-foot long) reproduction rifle that fires breach-loaded Nerf bullets (10 included).

Hasbro officially calls the bullets "darts," but I mean, you tell me what you'd call these:

A pair of not-included AAA batteries power eight different sound effects covering the loading and firing audio.

Spoiler:

While Hasbro will be selling the Mandalorian's ship, the Razor Crest, for $350...

...I wonder if they'll modify the design to match the events of last week's episode. If so, I imagine it will come in a much smaller box. Which reminds me of my favorite never-actually-made Star Wars toy of all time:

Mando's rifle rings in at $120 and is available for pre-order now--though it won't start shipping until October of 2021. "This is the Wait."

This is rad. Needs more battle damage. Sound effects are cool, I remember most vehicles back in the day had sound effects, i loved that as a kid. Still, my favorite was the speeder bike that exploded.. that was the best, who was the industrial designer of the star wars toys from the 80's?

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
