Arm yourself with the Secrets and Spies Agent Bow blaster to take control of the mission with the top-notch performance of a master spy. The bow fires Nerf Rebelle Message Arrows up to 85 feet, and the arrows make a whistling sound as they fly through the air. Experience real bow action as you set the arrow on the bow, nock it between the marks, draw the string back, align your shot with the red-dot sight, and release the arrow toward your target. |
History[]
The Agent Bow was first revealed on January 21, 2014 at the London Toy Fair.[2] Speculation initially arose over the information described about the red dot sight, whether it was a legitimate sight or a light beam seen in previous blasters and accessories.
There are two known prototype variations of the Agent Bow. The earliest surfaced on a Brazilian website alongside the leaks of the Spylight, Messenger and Diamondista. This featured a pink, orange, and gray color scheme and featured a different handle mold. The other, the pre-production blaster, was the one that was shown off at the London Toy Fair. There are several differences with this variant, most notably the absence of a transparent piece at the side of the blaster where one can see where the arrow is inserted into the blaster. The arrows also featured a different color scheme. Some mock-ups designs featuring arrows of different neon colors were also produced but scrapped before final production.
It was re-released in 2014 under the Code Red Collection sub-series.
Color schemes[]
The Agent Bow has been released in the following color schemes:
- Secrets & Spies (purple, light blue, violet, black, and gray)
- Secrets & Spies (pink, black, and gray)
- Secrets & Spies (light blue, purple, white, and gray)
- Code Red Collection (white, red, and black)
Trivia[]
