Aqua Power XR 75

Post by sdave » Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:08 pm

Saw the Aqua Power XR 75 http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/Outd ... n(0082775) in Toys R Us today but can't find any info online.

Outwardly, It looks very similar to the old SS Monster, but I don't even know if it uses an elastic PC. Does anyone know anything about it?

There's no doubt it's a cheap knockoff. Don't buy it.

Only looks like the old Monster X in a cartoony-sort-of-way with parts scaled improperly. Most likely a piston-based blaster with limited to poor performance.

Weird, I thought Sizzlin' Cool was operating directly under BBT like the Water Warriors name, except in the UK, but looks like they're simply buyers/resellers of BBT's (and other suppliers') stuff.

On the page, it links to other Sizzlin' Cool blasters, many of which appear to also be large blasters with a resemblance to past Super Soakers. As far as I can see, there's no evidence to suggest that any of their products perform at a useful level.

Sizzlin' Cool is a Toys'R'Us label, not under BBT. They get BBT to make some of their blasters, but BBT is obviously not their only source of water blaster designs.
