Harvey, Dustin - Nerf Knights (Toy Design)


- So, this design is set as more of a brand of toys rather than a single object, therefore, an explanation will do it more justice than my shoddy sketch pictured above. 




-I'm basing this off the NERF line of melee weapons, fleshing it out much like their popular gun products.  There will be a multitude of melee weapons inspired by medieval and fantasy media (from single handed swords, shields, daggers, maces, to two handed axes, spears, hammers, and ranged weapons such as crossbows and bows)


-In addition to the plethora of available weapons, a wide range of different armor sets and pieces will be available (pauldrons, breastplates, greaves, gauntlets, helmets, etc.) and will be attached to the body with simple to use straps or clipping on to a universal belted vest.  Allows for customization and individuality.


-An online component will also be implemented along with the sale of this line of toys.  Lets kids jump into a virtual world with others, create an avatar, and through codes within the product boxes, upgrade their avatar with the same purchased weapons and armor within the game.  


-Weapons will be made, shaped, and padded with condensed foam (adds weight for sturdiness without making them too dangerous) while the armor pieces will be molded with ABS plastic for casing and using condensed foam for padding.


-These products will be marketed primarily to boys aged between 10-13.  I'm also sure LARPers and cosplayers will find great use in these products for their hobbies and activities
