Dart Zone’s Adventure Force Nexus and Aeon Pro X Blasters from the Tactical Strike line have been fan favorites since 2020. Now, Dart Zone is releasing new versions of the Nexus and Aeon Pro X in April.

The revamped blasters were unveiled last month at Spielwarenmesse in Nuremberg.

The upgraded Nexus Pro X Ultimate Blaster Set ($49.97) includes 24 half-length branded darts that can shoot up to 200 feet, two 12-round half-length Pro Dart Ammo Clips, two SCAR Barrel Tubes, an adjustable rear stock, a spare O-Ring, a rear scope, a tactical front sight, and one pair of protective eyewear. The blaster features Slamfire Action that can be activated by holding down the trigger and continuously pulling back the priming slide. Its new design includes purple and orange camouflage decals, and textures created from 3D laser printing. 

Designed for beginners, the upgraded Aeon Pro X Blaster Set ($25) includes a tactical sight and rails on the front end, 12 half-length branded darts that can shoot up to 150 feet, a half-length pro ammo clip, a safety lock, two clip releases, a six-threaded SCAR Barrel Tube, and Slamfire Action activation. The blaster features an orange and purple design.

“It should come [as] no surprise that we are revisiting two of our elite, high-end blasters,” says Bryan Sturtevant, Vice President of Sales at Dart Zone. “Our goal is to continuously bring our community along in the process of creating superior blasters. That includes our never-before-seen blasters and the classics we revisit to refine. These two newer ideations of the Nexus and Aeon Pro reflect what we know works and insights from our community on what can be emphasized to create blasters that are fun, polished, and powerful.”

Made for kids ages 14 and up, both of the updated blasters will be available April 14 in-store and at walmart.com.
