TOYS AND GAMES GEL BLASTER SURGE

NOTHING SAYS SUMMER FUN QUITE LIKE A WATER FIGHT, BUT LEAVING WATER EVERYWHERE CAN BE MESSY AND CAUSE SLIPPING HAZARDS. HOWEVER, THE GEL BLASTER SURGE FULFILS THE JOY OF A WATER FIGHT WITHOUT ANY MESS. USING ECO-FRIENDLY AND NONTOXIC GELLETS THAT BREAK DOWN ONCE BLASTED, THE GEL BLASTER PROVIDES AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION THAT WILL KEEP PARENTS HAPPY WITH ITS NO MESS, NO MARKING, AND NO RESIDUE DESIGN. IT IS SAFE TO SAY THIS WAS INCREDIBLY FUN TO TEST OUT AND MET MY HIGH EXPECTATIONS WHILE BOASTING SOME GREAT DESIGN FEATURES BEHIND IT.

Straight out of the box, the Gel Blaster is already charged with a few hours of play and includes a hopper filled with 800 pre-hydrated gellets ready to attach to the top of the Gel Blaster base. The base of the Gel Blaster is sturdy, featuring an easy switch button to alternate shot modes from single, to off and then to full-auto. The white base with electric green gellets and tip fins is incredibly eye-catching. The green tip fins can also be removed to indicate teams when playing as a group. The Gel Blaster comes with a lot of customizable features including its adjustable velocity with the 2 barrels included in the box. The white barrel can shoot over 100 feet and the orange barrel has a velocity of 90 feet. Also included in the box is a USB-C charging cable ready to recharge the Gel Blaster’s lithium-ion battery, which with each charge provides 4 hours of gameplay. Therefore, its design is sturdy, ready to go and adjustable for a variety of game options.

I’m impressed by the gellets for their eco-friendly specifications that are starch-based, non-toxic, non-irritating and burst on contact. Even with their electric green colour, the gellets do not stain or need any cleaning up, making them a great choice for parents who don’t want to be left with a mess post- battle. The Gel Blaster Surge comes with a pack of 10,000 dehydrated gellets ready to be hydrated and turned into ammo for the blaster. These take 2 hours to fully hydrate but can either be kept in an airtight container for 2 weeks or submerged in water for 3 months, so you can always have ammo ready to go. The only downside is once the gellets have been fired, you will need to buy more, however, this seems a fair trade for the eco-friendly and mess-free option that the Gel Blaster provides. The gellets are not designed to cause any pain and will burst upon impact, however, safety is essential, so safety glasses are included with the Gel Blaster to ensure that eyes are kept safe.

Overall, the Gel Blaster Surge is great fun and makes for hours of enjoyment for anyone from a teen, due to the 14+ age rating, all the way to adults. Its careful eco-friendly design is innovative and will definitely be a plus for parents. If you are looking for a water fight alternative the Gel Blaster Surge is a great choice and will bring the battle anywhere!
