Our Story | Our Journey - Nerf

The NERF ball was introduced as the "world's first official indoor ball." It was marketed with the messaging "Throw it indoors; you can't damage lamps or break windows. You can't hurt babies or old people." By the year's end, millions of NERF balls had been sold.

THE “WORLD’S FIRST OFFICIAL  INDOOR BALL”

1960s

A basketball game called “NERFoop” and the NERF football officially  joined the family, starting the Nerf Sports segment.

NERF SPORTS SEGMENT BEGINS

1970s

NERF Baseball was released, allowing living room baseball for the first time.

LIVING ROOM BASEBALL

The Soaking Begins: The introduction of the Power Drencher (the original name for SUPER SOAKER) revolutionized the world of water blasters. Invented by Lonnie Johnson, an aerospace engineer from Atlanta, Georgia, this blaster, later named the SUPER SOAKER 50, used patented air pressure technology resulting in the ability to shoot large quantities of water further and faster than any other product on the market. Entering the 90’s, the name was changed to the SUPER SOAKER brand, and in 2010 the brand joined the NERF family.

THE SOAKING BEGINS

The Blast-a-Ball utilized ballistic balls and was packaged with two blasters, encouraging fans to play together.

NERF BLAST-A-BALL

1980s

Tonka Corporation (including Kenner Products and Parker Brothers) is purchased by Hasbro, Inc. and NERF becomes a Hasbro brand. NERF introduces its first bow and arrow.

HASBRO BUYS NERF

The NERF Sharpshooter was the very first NERF dart blaster.

THE DAYS OF THE DART BEGIN

1990s

The N-Strike movement begins: The NERF N-STRIKE blaster featured the unique, Unity Power System that included three blasters that could be fired simultaneously or taken apart and fired individually. The Unity Power System introduced the tactical rail to NERF and with it, the idea of interchangeable parts and multiple arrangements for maximum play action.

THE N-STRIKE MOVEMENT BEGINS

The NERF Vulcan blaster was introduced to the N-STRIKE line and remains as one of the biggest and baddest blasters to date.

THE VULCAN ARRIVES

2000s

NERF introduces the NERF VORTEX line of disc launching blaster in September, 2011. A completely new NERF blaster experience, the VORTEX line offered fans the latest in blaster technology and performance period

FIREVISION LINE

The NERF brand continues to rise to fans’ wildest expectations and introduces the CENTURION blaster. The CENTURION is the first NERF blaster to use oversized MEGA whistler darts.

CENTURION BLASTER

NERF celebrated its 45th anniversary with expanded brand lines, improved blaster distances and performance, and design developments including the first built-in blaster camera and free-play styled Bash Ball.

45th ANNIVERSARY

The NERF brand continues to expand to meet consumer demand and exceed expectations, introducing both the N-STRIKE MODULUS segment, which lets fans customize their blasters, and the NERF RIVAL line for players 14 and up, each designed with NERF fans in mind.

NERF MODULUS AND RIVAL

NERF epically develops its first remote controlled blaster drone, the NERF N-STRIKE ELITE TERRASCOUT RC drone. With a live video and camera feature, 18-dart clip for remote bombardment, and ability to function in and outdoors, NERF continues to build upon its superior blaster technology.

TERRASCOUT

The NERF N-STRIKE ELITE line continues to improve with the ACCUSTRIKE line. With the most accurate NERF dart to date, the N-STRIKE ELITE ACCUSTRIKE series offers fans the ultimate in accuracy, performance, and blaster innovation.
