Official description

History

The Apollo was officially announced at the 2015 Toy Fair, along with other blasters from the RIVAL series.

It was later re-released under the Phantom Corps sub-series in 2017. The re-release has a white color scheme, and comes included with two RIVAL team banners, and also comes with a twelve round magazine rather than a seven round magazine. It was also released as a cross-promotional product, with Star Wars and Deadpool variants.

Color schemes

The Apollo has been released in the following color schemes:

Value packs

The Apollo XV-700 came in a value pack that included the blaster itself, a seven round magazine, seven High-Impact Rounds, and a Face Mask.

Trivia

  • The Apollo XV-700 is able to burst fire if the blaster is primed more than once. To accomplish this, the user must first prime the blaster normally and then press down on the de-jamming button to unlock the priming handle and prime again to chamber another round. It is not recommended to chamber more than two or three rounds, otherwise the blaster may jam.
  • The Apollo XV-700 is named after Apollo, the Greek and Roman god of prophecy and oracles, music, song and poetry, archery, healing, plague and disease, and the protection of the young. Apollo is also the twin brother of Artemis, after whom the Artemis XVII-3000 is named.
  • The Apollo is the most re-released Nerf blaster from the RIVAL series, having six different variants.
