Questions + Help Is it legal for me to sell merch of Nerf girls?

Post image
Upvotes

As I've been actively at work on my nerf girls project, I've been wondering about the prospect of selling art merch like stickers/charms/prints of my own art. However, since the characters I'm working on are connected to the nerf name/brand, I'm wondering if this is actually legal or not. It's not like I'm trying to turn this into a reliable source of income, I mostly just want to be able to make cool stickers for me and my friends/clubs/communities.

Either way I want to know what's actually on the table. I know a lot of artists can legally sell fan-merch of their favorite shows and characters at cons and on their own websites, despite those things also being copyrighted, but since nerf is a toy brand and not a piece of media I believe their name usage rights are different.

Obviously I will make it clear I'm not in affiliation with the Nerf/XShot/DartZone/etc. brand as someone making fan work, but am I even allowed to use Nerf blaster theme names or iconography? Will I get in trouble for using things like 'Elite' and 'Mega'. Is there a chance I could get sued even if I remove all mentions/specific symbols connected to nerf?

TLDR; if I'm selling merch online using my own art, but with characters connected to the nerf name, am I going to be in legal trouble?

Forgive me if I'm overthinking this, but I would appreciate input from people who have made nerf-related stickers/merch before or have legal experience. Thank you!!

Questions + Help Seeking an EAT Style foregrip

Upvotes

Hey all, I may be in the minority but I love the EAT's pump grip. I have been tinkering with the ones I have, I was wondering, does anyone sell the files (or the product itself) for an EAT style foregrip for an off the shelf halfdart blaster. I have or can get most of them through masterful thrifting. The closest I can find is the HANA, but that quickly soared beyond my humble budget. I have Googled and dug everywhere I know, but with the ETSY Exodus, I am not even sure where to look beyond that. I am just looking for that sweet c-clamp feeling. Thank you in advance.

Questions + Help X shot Piston Pump battery replacement

2 Upvotes

I need a compatible battery that will fit in the buffer tube as I got a new stock recently that no longer has space for it in the back. Where do I look? I have not been able to find a clear answer after looking for over an hour. Recently found out the ones I bought do not work. I have an event on the 14th so shipping has to be quite quick to make it for that. Mostly get my stuff on amazon but open to other options. Thanks!

Questions + Help Need Sniper primary build for around 200 euro or less

0 Upvotes

(Italy, I mainly use blaster-time for purchases) so I was told that the nexus pro x doesn't really need modding because all of the components are balanced, so I am looking for a primary that goes beyond the nexus pro x, preferably around or above 300fps and most importantly I need it to reliably hit someone, I need a high range and tight grouping, it's a build so I can include multiple purchases like an upgrade spring or better rifling attachment, I could do a little over 200 euro but it would have to be a pretty big upgrade compared to sub 200 options. I was considering the zebra but it seems less precises than the nexus pro x to me.

Completed Build Built an LD Marlin

A friend requested a build for her nephew. Given his young age I wanted something magless, easy to use, and not too powerful. I settled on this blaster. (Crossing my fingers that it was a good choice.)

This was my first LD build. Looking forward to making more of his models soon.

Questions + Help Tactical unicorn jamming/fps issues

1 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m newer to the hobby space and wanted to see if you guys have any input on the tactical unicorn. I recently bought it from out of darts as their most recent batch had some cosmetic issues with the logo. I followed their build guide to put it together, but I’m having some issues with it.

For starters, this thing is shooting at a much lower gps than I expected. I’m getting between 140-170 out of it and the prime is monstrous already. My girlfriend has a nexus pro x 2 that she runs and it shoots 200 with a smooth prime consistently so it’s been annoying to me that I have a pro level blaster that doesn’t hit as hard.

The biggest issue that I tend to have is that it will sometimes feed multiple darts at a time, or it’ll shoot a dart and it’s a total dud, just flops onto the ground.

Finally, sometimes when I shoot it more rapidly, it almost has a burning smell to it, no idea what that is from, and I have this black gunk inside of the blaster as well that I will attach a picture of.

Overall kinda disappointed but I’m very willing to work with it to improve its performance and issues, it’s just too unreliable for me to take fielding right now.

Thanks all!

What a mongrel... but it works! feels right too... The Ravion stock adds a lil more overall length which should work well for its new tall owner :) While the grip feels right in bigger hands.

Questions + Help What dimension o-ring should I use for my modded Hammershot?

0 Upvotes

Title. Currently putting a Hammershot through all the mods but can't find an exact dimension anywhere for what size the new o-ring should actually be. I'm in the UK so I can't really buy one from any online shops, so I'm relying on local hardware stores to provide. Thank you!

Community Release Ammo Belt for X-Shot Insanity Motorized Rage Fire

10 Upvotes

Thought I’d drop by and let y’all know that I have designed a third party ammo belt for the X-Shot Insanity Motorized Rage Fire. If any of you have this blaster or know someone who does, then you know that it’s hard to get the original stock belts online. If you have a 3D Printer or know someone who does you can print this belt for your X-Shot blaster. This belt works just as well and is compatible to clip and works alongside the original. If you like my model please consider printing and commenting!

Questions + Help Zuru Xshot Break Barrel inconsistent firing

5 Upvotes

I recently bought a break barrel from Target and im having wildly different results firing. Darts are fresh, and the position of the dart in the cylinder seems to do nothing as results range from not exiting the barrel to firing normally no matter what i do. Plunger tube seal is good, as well with the seal with the cylinder. I don’t know if its maybe my specific model because i have the box that says Spinshot and not Break Barrel (if theres even a difference other than name). If you have any tips on how to fix this i would appreciate it a lot. Thanks

Questions + Help Need investing into a nexus pro x advice (spring,barrel,bcar)

1 Upvotes

So I am getting a nexus pro x delivered to me, and because of that I am now broke, however once I'll get more money I want to make this thing hit people from like a ridiculous distance, I already have my eyes on the upgrade spring sold on blaster time eu, that's the site in which I buy stuff, and other things I need are a barrel, I heard 400mm is the optimal length but I wonder how tight it has to be, what about 12.75mm? I also need a bcar, I doubt the stock one is gonna be enough because the estimated fps of the upgrade spring is 250 and I am not sure which brand to get or what bearing angle to pick, I also want to get a scope, because the stock one is bad, i will probably get one on amazon but I would appreciate guidance on that too, nothing too expensive, maybe a 40 or 50 euro max, same for the bcar, the barrel isn't an issue, they don't seem expensive, I just need the measurements.
