History Trivia / NERFBrand

* TheWikiRule: Right [[https://nerf.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page here]], not only categorizes all of the current production blasters and discontinued blasters but also off-brand blasters like [=BuzzBee=] Air Warriors.

* NamesTheSame: The [[GatlingGood Titan CS-50]] was announced for Fall of 2019 and many enthusiasts were quick to point out that it shares the name with the Titan AS-V.1 missile launcher.

* Mascot: In summer of 2022, Nerf announced their mascot, Murph, a human-shaped creature made of thousands of darts. Some found Murph adorable, and others found them [[NightmareFuel downright terrifying]].

* BadExportForYou: Due to strict firearm laws, some of the ''N-Strike Elite'' blasters that were released in both Australia and Thailand got {{nerf}}ed with reduced power, and as such, are marked with grey triggers. While some onlyv had shorter-range ''estimates'' due to incomplete product testing and functioned as well as in the rest of the world, others were genuinely weaker.

** Canada tends to do okay for Nerf stuff, though we never saw the Alpha Trooper up here.
** For some time, there were are plans for releasing the Pinpoint sight in Elite colors in the US. Despite this, they're available pretty much anywhere else. It eventually got re-issued as part of the Modulus series but in different colors.

** In the US, the Raider got a late release. It came out earlier in Australia. ''Australia''. Toy shipments have been known to reach Proxima Centauri before they get to Australia. And Singapore seems to be getting them before they hit the US, too.
** Also the Stockade, released in August 2012, didn't show up in the U.S. until ''September 2013''. On top of this, it was a Walmart exclusive.

* FanNickname: Certain ''Rebelle'' models that draw obvious inspiration from N-Strike designs, such as the "Rebellicade" (Fearless Fire, which mimics the Barricade) or "Rebellecon" (Rapid Glow, which mimics the Recon).

* ShoutOut: The Doomlands line brings to mind post-apocalyptic environments like ''{{VideoGame/Borderlands}}'' or ''Film/MadMax'', while the Impact Zone subline draws upon the premise of ''Film/TheThing1982''.

* ValuesDissonance:
** Some cases of NoExportForYou could be because many other countries take much more negative stances on the use of guns and on the depiction of violence.
** Australians, due to firearms laws which even requires bb/airsoft/paintball guns to be registered and used only by licenced persons (which is extremely hard to get, and if you are doing it you may as well take up competitive target shooting or hunting), are on the height of homemade dart design.
