The 5 dart Rebelle revolver ("Wildshot") would look good with a paint job I reckon, wold be easy to make it look steam-punk, and for my daughter (who LOVES pink stuff), I think this would be a great gateway brand for her (before she gets into Elite).

What nay-sayers need to understand is, if there is a market for it, and the company believes the investment will pay off, they will venture into that market. I'm sure there are many girly Nerfers out there that wish there were a more femine Nerf line up. Trufax ^ The Rebelle Wildshot and ZombieStrike Hammershot appear to be very similar. Why not cater to different markets with different blaster lines? There's certainly a market for HvZ themed blasters, and might be one for girl themed blasters, too.

I think if they release an Elite N-Strike version of the Hammershot/Wildshot, most of us will want one. Some of us might just re-paint the first one that comes out to suit us, but not everybody wants a repainted blaster.

Perhaps these additional lines will provide additional revenue to further Elite Mega development, rather than just take time away from it.
