Given the large vertical protrusion, it’s quite easy. You pull back the plunger handle to prime the blaster. In terms of handling, the crossbow is acceptable, at least. Other colors (like pink and purple) for an enchanted crossbow would have made perfect sense, as well! Perhaps Hasbro could try that for the next production run. But even multiple shades of orange (or a color gradient of any kind) would have looked better, instead of a single, solid color for the whole top of the blaster. Granted, I don’t think Hasbro would want an all-brown crossbow with grey accents, as per the game. That piece only being in orange…honestly just looks cheap. The “string” is attached here, and it just there for looks.īeing a decorative piece, however, means hoping for decent decoration. It’s decorative, but functionally has no purpose. In that sense, it’s like needing to add the barrel to the Mega Centurion or the Fortnite Heavy SR. Once the pieces are put together, a small lock is depressed, allowing the blaster to be primed and fired. Inside the box, the blaster is in two pieces: you have the main body in white, and the large top piece in orange. Whatever the merits of the blaster, it just looks and feels like a hunk of plastic that happens to shoot darts. It doesn’t look good, it’s more expensive, and it’s awkward in hand. The same can’t be said, however, of the Pillager’s Crossbow.
The Stormlander, while clearly meant for Minecraft fans, has a certain charm to it, even for those of us who don’t play the video game franchise. Every blaster line has winners and losers.
