Talk:Crupper FDG-20

Not its official name?
While filling out product listings for an eventual Banzai page and digging through Google Images, I've discovered another blaster with a similar name: the 8 Shooter Dart Blaster. Well, that's it's name on the packaging. On the blaster, it displays "T-Ranger FDG 8D". The names are... extremely similar, with the same number code (which must stand for "foam dart gun"...), which really makes me believe that these must have been released around the same time (not that I can pinpoint a year, unfortunately). This also has led me to wonder if the name of the Crupper was officially the "Crupper". After all, I can't find any packaging for the Crupper online.

I don't know why I find this so interesting, but I do. What do you guys think?

 * That is rather odd, isn't it? I can't remember the exact name that was on the so called "Crupper", but I do remember the "Crupper" part at least. I didn't get it new, so I didn't see the box either. I don't really remember what happened to it, as it was before the days when I was really "informed" about the Nerf hobby. I did some searching around and while I didn't find the box of the original Crupper, I did find another Air Zone variant that is quite similar, although not the one I had.
 * EDIT: I also found an image of an Air Zone variant of the 8 Shooter Dart Blaster, which carries over the 117193931_amazoncom-air-zone-battle-dart-blaster-2-pack-everything.jpg name. It's possible that this means the original Crupper was actually called the "20 Shot Machine Blaster" on the packaging, but that's just a guess.
 * EDIT 2: It looks like you were spot on about the 8 Shooter Dart Blaster being released at the same time as the Crupper. The date on the back of the packaging is 2008, which means it would likely have been released in early 2009, which is when the Crupper was released.

 * Yeah, that was my guess as well, but I want to try and make sure I'm 100% certain of that fact before I go and make any changes. More digging through the net for the original for me..!

 * That's good news, though, about the date of release. What picture do you have of the back of the box for the 8 Shooter? Maybe there's more info on there... Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -
