Toys and Games Reviews of Super Soaker 50 Water Blaster - 20th Anniversary Edition
Customer Review: This isn't your old Super Soaker 50
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved my Super Soaker 50, like I imagine a good number of the people who are interested in this product did. This re-release got me very excited, keeping my eyes peeled whenever I was near a toy store. I finally got my hands on a pair (for me and my girlfriend) and I have to admit, it's a mixed bag.
First of all, huge applause for the structural redesigns, it is far more durable than the old 50 ever was. Why only three stars? For one very simple reason, while you could pump the originals until they broke or broke skin, these ones have flawed caps which, maybe intentionally, release pressure when pumped beyond a certain point.
That's right, the 50 no longer means it shoots 50 feet, and even the 35 foot estimate is optimistic. I think I could hit 35 feet if I was shooting at a perfect 45 degree angle, and I had a slight breeze to my advantage. When shooting the gun from arm level (I'm 6' tall) the blast touched ground about twenty feet away.
If I pumped it until the gasket leaked, the next shot would be a misty blast of sputters, until it caught its groove again. Some of my favorite times with the Super Soaker (and this ventures into why I gave it four stars for education) were filling it with varying levels of water, then pumping it to various degrees. The Super Soaker line carries with it the ability to gain a tangible sense of air pressure and how water is not compressible.
Fantastic nostalgia, great colors, durable redesign, but somewhat neutered, as if its true audience wasn't already in their twenties.
