With The Book of Boba Fett currently airing in weekly installments on Disney+, the armored bounty hunter is having a moment. Nerf and Disney have teamed up to capitalize on this moment by offering a Nerf version of Boba Fett’s iconic EE-3 blaster. It costs $109.99 (see it on Amazon), and it’s set to release next year. That said, if you want one, you’ll need to place a preorder soon, because the preorder window closes on March 31.
The blaster is 30 inches long and nicely detailed with all the appropriate parts and coloring from the show. It sports an electronic scope that has an illuminated lens. When you pull the trigger, the blaster makes the same sounds it makes in the Disney+ show.
As for firing the thing, it comes with three drums, each of which can house four darts. When you empty one drum, you can load up the next and keep shooting at the scum and villainy of Tatooine. Also included are 12 darts. Not included are the two AAA batteries you’ll need for the blaster sounds and illuminated lens.
It certainly looks like a well-made product, and it’s priced accordingly. The only other real drawback is that it’s not coming out until March 31, 2023. Even so, you can lock in your preorder at Amazon now, and you won’t be charged until it ships. So that’s nice.
Nerf LMTD is the toy maker’s line of collectible replica blasters. They come in special display packaging and tend to sell out pretty quickly. Other items in the line include the Nerf Mandalorian’s Amban Phase-Pulse Blaster as well as the Nerf Halo Needler (currently sold out).
