The picture of the kid is an actual picture, but the other things appear to be drawn, but...
Thoughts?

I was browsing the Bass Pro Shops ad, (delivered November 2, Arlington Texas) and I found this picture:

I agree. Chances are that this is simply a stock photo they're using for illustrative purposes. Why is it green and why is the kid using ERTL darts? So they don't get sued by Hasbro. It's not indicative of a new production run but rather some guy and a can of spray paint to avoid copyright infringement.That picture is so old that it's probably your father.
There's no way a re-release could happen without any word reaching the NIC before photos reach retailers.

Actually, if they don't have logos on it, it's considered fair use.I agree. Chances are that this is simply a stock photo they're using for illustrative purposes.

This ad is on their website:

It just looks like an old photo of a kid playing with a nerf crossbow.
The only foam shooting crossbow on the website is this one:

I doubt this is coming out again. OMC will probably shut us all up soon.

Ah, I didn't know that. I'm still skeptical about it being a product that a company is making, but rather a photo from a decade ago.Actually, if they don't have logos on it, it's considered fair use.
