Hasbro and WowWee have unveiled their summer water-based products. The companies are focusing on splash games such as the Battleship Blast and the NERF Super Soaker collection, which features three new additions including Nano Soakers, the Hydroburst Hose Blaster, and the Quadblast Hose Blaster.
The companies expanded Battleship Blast’s ($9.99) retail reach following its 2023 launch, and the outdoor toy is available for this summer as well. Kids ages 6 and up can choose red or blue, then try to sink their opponent’s ship by shooting water at it with the included water blasters.
There are also new additions to the NERF Super Soaker collection. Kids can battle with NERF Super Soaker Nano Soakers, which are mini versions of the CPS-1000 and XP100. The micro water blasters are available separately ($4.99) and in multipacks.
“With affordability more important than ever, we developed this year’s line with value in mind,” says Dominique Fleurant, Brand Manager for Outdoor Toys at WowWee. “We sought to pack as much innovation and play value into each item, while staying true to the fan-favorite classics.”
The NERF Super Soaker Hydroburst Hose Blaster ($19.99) and Quadblast Hose Blaster ($9.99) were also recently added to the NERF Super Soaker collection. Both products rely on hose power: The Hydroburst features a shoulder mount design and two ways to blast, while the Quadblast features a rotating head and four ways to spray water.
“Nostalgia is a powerful trend in toys, especially when you have strong brands like ours that are loved by multiple generations,” says Bradley Bowman, Senior Director, Global Toy and Game, Licensed Consumer Products at Hasbro. “This collaboration leverages those nostalgic feelings for both NERF Super Soaker and Hasbro Gaming to create backyard play experiences that resonate with the whole family.”
The water toys are available now at major retailers, including Amazon.
