Nerf is making a $170 gun primarily based on a League of Legends rocket launcher

The League of Legends character Jinx has a rocket launcher referred to as Fishbones, and the identify is acceptable: It is principally an enormous, shoulder-mounted shark. And should you’ve ever thought to your self, “Sure, I too would love a large predatory fish-gun in my life,” the nice people at Nerf could have simply what you are in search of.

Nerf LMTD X League of Legends Jinx Fishbones, because the enjoyable firearm is formally referred to as, is a brand new Nerf gun impressed by the famously chaotic League of Legends character, who carries it together with a minigun referred to as Pow-Pow. The Nerf model of Fishbones doesn’t fireplace excessive explosives, sadly, nevertheless it does pack a reasonably good punch as this stuff go: It has an 18-dart drum, and fires them in clusters of three by way of a yawning, articulated jaw that can open and shut as required.

That is the plan, anyway. Fishbones is on the market for preorder, completely on Amazon, till January 3, 2023, however is not at present slated to ship till December 1, 023—simply in time for the following vacation season. Predictably, this dangerous boy is not low cost: It goes for $170, which in response to the Hasbro web site makes it the most costly Nerf LMTD weapon available on the market, nicely forward of the Star Wars: The Mandalorian Amban Part-Pulse Blaster ($126), the Star Trek: Starfleet Sort 3 and Sort 2 Phaser Blasters ($120), the Star Wars: Boba Fett EE-3 Blaster ($110), and Halo Needler ($100).

Amazingly, that hefty price ticket would not even embody any additional darts—it comes with simply 18, a single loadout—though it does have a “Jinx-inspired show stand and premium packaging,” presumably as a result of no one who buys considered one of this stuff is ever really going to take it outdoors and play with it.

I am unsure I would ever spend that form of coin on a Nerf gun, and particularly one which my nephew goes to interrupt the primary time he comes over anyway. However it’s a fairly sweet-looking piece of equipment—I think about that the Nerf/LoL crossover fandom goes to have a tough time not pulling the set off (so to talk) on this one.
