I think there’s something to be said for keeping the Rebel line at least superficially distinct, perhaps merging them to the point where the Elite and Rebel lines are recolours or even restylings of the same essential blasters. I don’t know how many blasters the line will launch with but from the number you described as in the pipeline it sounds like Nerf have some real determination with it, the scale of the launch will be a sign of how much confidence Hasbro themselves have in it which will be interesting.
Here’s hoping the hydropack is sized in a way vaguely suitable for an adult. I’ve broad shoulders which tends to play hell with things like that, where a big part of their market is inevitably the under 15 crowd.

I like the new format with news and reviews, but I have some suggestions.
Tablecloth: Tie it into nerf or the blaster being reviewed, like Elite Blue, or Nerf Yellow, etc.
News Backdrop: It’s bare. Throw some blasters or something up there.
Echo: If there isn’t a way to adjust the mike, try hanging some rows of fabric off camera to dampen the echo, Blankets, towels something to absorb the echo.
Lighting: It’s a cave guys, brighten it up some. Be mindful of reflection from the tablecloth.
All the feedback is just to help set the scene better for you guys. The foundation of the show, your personalities, humor and information are still perfect, don’t change your tone at all, just put a bow on the show to make it “pop” a little more.
