The Big Bad Bow(TM) toy is mainly just an updated model of the original bow of some 8 years ago. The design has gone from the original bow style to the "Compound" bow style. Of course since the strings are merely cosmetic on this model (unlike a real compound bow) the look is really unimportant, other than it's cooler.
The bow now cocks (somewhat true to the real compound bow) and is fired by pressing a trigger. This takes a bit longer to load than the standard bow for this reason, however this modern update is extremely accurate and has a very far range, almost doubling the capacity of its older brother.
This is an incredible single shot weapon, and anyone who is a fan of the bow will become an instant expert with this newer design.
This toy does have a quite excellent destructor variant. In the tip
of the firing tube is a small plug. This plug is a little difficult to remove,
but doing so does not decrease the efficiency of the weapon at all, but
in fact allows for Micro Suction Darts
to be stuffed in the tube and fired with the same distance and accuracy
as arrows.
