Nerf N-Force Warlock Axe - Yellow Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Earlier this month someone commented on my review of the Nerf Marauder longsword that they had seen this axe in stores. I headed out the next day and there it was. Since the Thunderfury, Shadowfury and the Maraduer were all top notch, I bought the axe without hesitation.
First I wanted to point something out. "Warlock" is a terrible name for this item. If you google "Nerf Warlock" it you are going to come up with about 10,000 World of Warcraft posts before you find this axe. Secondly, a "Warlock" is basically your male witch, and we all know spell casters are never portrayed as weilding big heavy axes, it's all robes and sorcery, right?
But anyway about the axe... The warlock currently is only available in yellow. Despite not really liking the color, I can see why Hasbro went with this....a darker color would have made it look awfully real. I think there could be problems if someone saw kids chasing after each other with Nerf axes that looked like real ones, swinging them and knocking each other down. This weapon is 30 inches long (6 inches shorter than the marauder) and only weighs a hair over a pound so you can really swing it around with no problem. The handle is about as long as the handle on the marauder, which gives plenty of room for a full grown adult to grasp it. The handle is also ribbed, so you can curl your fingers in each groove to improve your grip. The head of the axe has foam looking "screws" that are meant to make it look like that is where the blade was attached to the handle. I think this is the kind of attention to detail that really sets Nerf apart from other, similar companies.
Like everything in the N-Force line, it is completely made out of the Nerf foam. The real interesting part of this axe though is the "blade". It's made out of Nerf foam but it almost feels like really squishy rubber. Of all the N-force weapons this one definitely hurts the least when hit. In fact I pretty much let my kids wail on me as hard as they can with it because whatever material is used for the blade of this axe is ingenious and it barely feels like you're even being hit. Both of my children, 5 and 2 1/2 can easily swing it around either by using one hand or two.
Overall I think this is a fantastic toy/prop axe. When I first got it I was honestly disappointed but only because I had envisioned something different if Nerf made a battle axe. However I really came to appreciate the design and the squishy-ness of the axe blade. I was hoping for something a little more massive and heavy but also need to realize this is intended for kids and that a wider axe might have balance and durability issues on the blade. With this axe, our "battles" no longer consist of just knights and Jedi's. Now dad can be the big, lumbering frost giant with the slow but powerful two-handed axe. My kids love it, I love it and if you are a fan of the N-force line you will love it as well.

Nerf N-Force Battlemaster Mace Axe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The axe itself is well balanced and very light, it even feels lighter than the Warlock Axe. It's length is about 1 inch shorter than the Warlock and probably 7 inches shorter than the Fury swords. That doesn't make it short by any means, and again Nerf has made a foam weapon that somehow manages to be just the right length for both children and adults. For an adult it is a capable one handed weapon and for children it is easily managed with two hands.
What you can't really see in the picture is that the mace has 3 blades on the top, the picture makes it look like there are only two. The "blades" on the mace are made of the same squishy foam on the blades of the Warlock Axe. So it goes without saying that impact from this mace is far less painful than the barely padded Fury swords. It's all the same high quality nerf foam as the other weapons so no need to worry about it tearing or ripping off.
Currently only available in yellow like the Warlock, it's not really a big deal since you can buy any color of acrylic paint for under a dollar and paint it however you want if you really wanted to. The handle does not have deep grooves in them like the Warlock but I still think that the design is equally as impressive because the long black handle paired with the faux chrome look of the mace really make it stand out in the NForce line as something special.
At first glance you may think "well it's not THAT different than the Warlock, is it?" and the answer is yes, it is very different. The balanced weight from the three blades at the end of the mace cause the weapon to feel and handle much different than the axe and actually make the axe feel more, clumsy(?) than the mace.
The "crushing" aspect of the end of the mace probably make it appeal to younger kids moreso than the axe.
Shorter and lighter than the Nerf Warlock axe, the new Battlemaster Mace Axe is a great addition to your foam weaponry arsenal. It won't tear, rip or break which is of the utmost importance in an item whose sole purpose is melee combat. Even though all of the other weapons are of great quality for the money, I would have to say this is probably my favorite in the whole line thus far.

Nerf N-Force Stonewall Shield and Sword Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my 5 year old son's birthday. The box it comes in is huge and packaged very well. The sword is much smaller then the other shadow lines, but I honestly thing he likes it better. The sword looks very durable and has a very comfortable handle. He wailed on me with it and it doesn't sting nearly as bad as the shadow or marauder. The shield could stand to be about 20% larger then it is. If you are buying this for a teen I think they would be very disappointed with it's dimensions. What the pictures on amazon fail to show you is that the back part of the shield has a good amount of plastic on it. I'm not sure if this is necessary to keep it's shape or provide some reinforcement, but I wonder about the durability of it's parts. There is only one "handle" and it's a velcro strap attached to the middle plastic circle part of the shield. It looked okay on my son, but when I put it on I found it very difficult to control and keep the shield from sliding up and down my arm. It would have been nice for them to include a handle for a person to grab on the back...like a real shield. As it stands now, the shield hangs on ones forearm, but only as tight as the velcro holds....safety first I guess. I'm not sure if they kept a handle or sleeve off of this for packaging issues or to prevent people getting the shield stuck on their arm. If they did put a handle on the shield near the side it stands to reason that a left handed user would be forced to use it on their dominant arm. It sits as good as any cheap plastic shield you might find at the store, I guess I was just hoping for more. I don't think it's value is worth $25.
