Toy Fair 2011 Day 1 is over, and with it my tour of Hasbro’s showroom. Once again, Hasbro is hinting at a major new Nerf launch this fall, this time on 9-10-11. It’s called the Vortex, and we have no idea what it is yet. Hopefully the company will be revealing what exactly it is this summer. Until then, all we know is that Hasbro will be offering yet another series of Nerf gun repaints, this time in a “Vortex-themed” orange with black stripes.

Fortunately, we don’t need to wait months to see some new Nerf guns. The company previewed a handful of new Dart Tag models that look pretty sweet. The Nerf Dart Tag Speed Load 6 and Quick 16 blasters have new loading systems that let you just pop darts straight into the weapon to reload, via a slot that feeds them into an integrated magazine. Also, as you can see, the Quick 16 looks like it has a freaking AK-47 banana magazine. It, along with a new double-sided Nerf N-Force sword, should help tide us over until the Vortex is revealed.
