Buzz Bee Toys (now, technically, Alex Brands Buzz Bee Holdings LLC) has now updated their website. While buzzbeetoys.com still works, but it actually redirects visitors to an Alex Brands URL (http://www.alexbrands.com/pa_brand/buzz-bee-toys/) New products for 2017 are shown and it appears some items may even be for sale online (though none appear available at the moment).

Water Warriors Drench Force (2017) Review Posted
Water Warriors Drench Force (2017) review posted on iSoaker.com. Tried to explain its interesting nozzle technology and why it likely is able to achieve the advertised range (though actual range testing still needs to be completed).
More pictures and early stats posted for the Water Warriors Drench Force (2017)
Posted some stats and lots more pictures of the Water Warriors Drench Force (2017) on iSoaker.com.
Review under development – range testing needs to be done, but when it gets a little warmer than below freezing!
Soak on!
Acquired: Water Warriors Drench Force (2017)
The Water Warriors Drench Force is the largest of the new water blasters released by Buzz Bee Toys for 2017. It is a large syringe-type water blaster with a top-mounted reservoir, but features a novel nozzle valve. On its packaging, it prominently displays the phrase: “Blasts up to 50 feet!” Will definitely be doing range testing on this water blaster!
More info to come…
Acquired: Water Warriors Steady Stream X
I recently acquired a Water Warriors Steady Stream X. As is suggested by its name, the Steady Stream X is the newest re-styling (and 10th year anniversary) of the original 2007 Water Warriors Steady Stream! More information on this water blaster coming soon…

Acquired: Water Warriors Kwik Grip XL (2017)
Found these newly styled Water Warriors Kwik Grip XLs (2017) at a local store. Much more angular and chunky looking than the original Kwik Grip XLs. There are also orange and yellow variants (pictures to be posted with the review on iSoaker.com). More info coming soon.
Happy Valentine’s Day, 2017
Expectations for 2017 (Water Blasters)
Just posted an article outlining my expectations for water blasters in 2017. Of course, I did a little bit of historical review to set the scene, but the signs so far unfortunately do not look too promising for performance water blasters this year. Granted, I still primarily focus only on what the Water Warriors and Nerf Super Soaker brands are doing. While I’ve looked at other brands as well, none of the smaller brands have put out anything intriguing enough for me to want to add it to the iSoaker.com review database.
