Heads up '90s kids, the Nerf Sharpshooter is back

Look out children of the '90s, your childhood is coming back to play with the Nerf Sharp92 Retro Blaster.

Announced as part of Hasbro Pulse's Nerf Fest, this recreates Nerf's first foam dart-firing toy as it appeared at the beginning of the 1990s (though it was called the 'Sharpshooter' back then). Armed with the same suction-tipped ammo, pull-back mechanics, and neon-colored packaging that wouldn't look out of place in the opening titles of Malcolm in the Middle, the Nerf Sharp92 Retro Blaster is an identical recreation of the original. 

The Nerf Sharp92 Retro Blaster will cost $29.99 via Amazon or directly from Hasbro Pulse. It's due to land this coming July 7, 2023.

While it probably won't reach the top spot in lists celebrating the best Nerf guns (as the first of its kind, it's rather clunky and very much of a time), the Nerf Sharp92 is a nostalgic nod to the past nonetheless. Super Soaker pulled off something similar when the XP100 joined the best water guns on shelves, and Nerf's promise of a full Retro line celebrating "30 years of dart blasting" suggests more will be on the way. While we've yet to see any other designs, Hasbro is taking pre-orders for retro jackets and trainers via Hasbro Pulse.

Naturally, it's not the only retro toys that have been teased recently, either. Earlier in September, Hasbro announced a set of Nerf Star Trek Phasers based on the weapons seen in First Contact.

Nerf Sharp92 Retro Blaster | $29.99 at Amazon / Hasbro Pulse
Available July 7, 2023 - Modelled directly on 1992's Nerf Sharpshooter, the Nerf Sharp92 comes with three suction-tipped darts and retro packaging. Because it doesn't need batteries to work, all you need to do is load a dart, pull back the firing mechanism, and pull the trigger. As with the classic design, two spare darts can be stored on the blaster's top as well.

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, but these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage (I spend my time here handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news). I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s, and love nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master.
