It's time to LET IT RIP with the 1998 NERF RIPCHORD!

[@WalcomS7]

Ending song is actually Starlight (Instrumental) by ESTi from the Pangya soundtrack. My editing software kept crashing on me during this edit, so things may be...messed. Also, that super sweet holiday NERF themed sweater I'm wearing in the thumbnail (that I forgot to put on for the video because it was 26 degrees in the studio and I just wanted to survive) was sent to me by FUN.COM!

[@Midnight-8262]

@@simplycrisp4173 Yes, who do you think would win the YT tournament?

[@shadow50011]

I could see this design actually working in the form of a flywheel design that could be “revved up” and have it magdump with a trigger.

[@bradg1772]

The RipCord! There's a piece of my chdhold I had forgotten about. Can confirm mine had a black ripcord, not red. From what I remember, it worked fairly well back in the day, at least as a children's toy.

[@Kamerick_]

It is so cool to see my buddy's stuff landing up in a collector's hands as yourself, Walcom, excited for this month's Tag-Backmas! Someone else said it but your channel's tag-back was one of my favorite things to watch before I had any amount of nerf blasters, and I'm excited to see what you have in store for us this year!!!

[@joshua5483]

In my humble opinion, TAG-BACK has been the corner stone of this channel. (“Practical Nerf” being a close 2nd place) I know the numbers/views never reflected this claim, but I will always hold this series dearly in my heart since it’s opened my eyes and many others to the wacky weird history of this hobby. I never would of found this channel 7ish years ago without this series so thank you for all the memories Walcom! Congrats on 200,000 Subscribers! (Still waiting for that viewer collaboration mashup for the Maverick Tag back lol) Merry Tag-Backmas 🎄

[@WalcomS7]

I still have all the footage I received from that. I seriously don't know what to do. I feel like shit thinking about that video but it just never panned out the way I wanted it to.

[@joshua5483]

@@WalcomS7 I mean I’ve always perceived it as an urban legend thing, never to actually exist so to speak. But If I had a real vision for it. It would be the *Very last* blaster ever covered. A final Goodbye to the series with maybe a few flashes of some funny moments scattered in the dozens of videos. Something like that.

As someone who for a long time only had exposure to nerf brand foam dart guns, it's so cool to see all these weird and old and obscure blasters, it's like a time capsule. I came up for a name for this TAG-BACK reboot, I think TAGMAS could be a good contender.

[@binsoku6]

So, question: does this mean this summer, we could get 'Splash-Back' covering Super Soakers?

[@PerfectRequiem]

Those original Nerf supersoakers weren't all THAT bad. They're kinda of anemic because no air tanks in that generation, but the electric blasters with mags and drums are delightfully easy to use! Literally hold trigger spray water endlessly.

[@paradox_saber54]

This made me so nostalgic for my childhood in the 90s when everything was better, that said that Nerf magazine advertisement triggeres such a vivid memory. As I poured through that thing again and again asking for different ones every year as I got new ones the previous one Christmas

In my opinion, if a blaster isn't super rare, and the ammo isn't either, but both are vintage, they deserve to be played with. They're toys!

[@jaxond5746]

I would love to see you and Lucha take a look at that Hockey game thing. Also could you bring back the "Welcome to tag back, the show where we take a look at a blaster from the past to see what it can offer us today in the present AND THIS TIME (I love hearing the funny ways you can say "and this time" it makes me laugh) Also maybe take a look at some N-Force or Cyberstrike stuff. I also want to see some body mounted blasters, I miss that stuff. Sugestion: The Nerf Rainshot & Hyper Sight Expand Blast thing are some other stuff I want to see. Those were really weird blasters. I really like the fact of the Daily uploads for the month that will be fun.

It's honeslty nice to hear someone appreciate sealed stuff too for that "right off the toy store shelf" appearence, like its great bit of history to preserve especially for future generations that weren't around to see it new.
