Ice Burst - Aurora Single Gun

The TF212706 is the single-gun version of the Ice Burst design, moulded entirely in transparent blue so the internal mechanism shows through the body. The receiver carries ICE BURST along the flank, the cylindrical module on the top rail is marked Icy Blaze, and the whole upper line is moulded with a rail and a rear serrated section rather than left smooth. The drum reservoir hangs under the grip and the muzzle carries the LED flame effect. It is a longer, flatter silhouette than the pistol-form water guns in this range, which is what makes it read as a blaster on a shelf rather than as a toy handgun.

The carton is a sensible middle. A carton holds 48 pieces at 0.205 CBM and 17.5 kg gross, 0.36 kg per unit, and a 20GP takes 136 cartons, 6,528 pieces. The 144-piece minimum is three cartons and 0.615 CBM, so the entry order is small and the top-up unit is the same carton. Compared with the pair pack TF212709, which ships nine sets per carton at 1.25 kg, this is the cheaper way to put the Ice Burst look on a shelf: one unit, one carton, half the cube per gun.

The three-way choice at this price is worth setting out, because all three sit within four cents of each other. The TF212706 is the long Ice Burst blaster at $3.42 and a 144-piece minimum; the TF211497 is the compact pistol at the same price with two battery cells in the pack; the TF210969 is the third-generation model at the same price with a 240-piece minimum. The Ice Burst is the one to take if the display depends on the look, since the transparent full-length body and the Icy Blaze module are the most distinctive shape of the three.
