I received a free Nerf FireVision Football and Frames from BzzAgent.com - of which I am a member- to use and review. Nerf FireVision is intended for ages 6 and up.
(For the purposes of this post and for their online anonymity I will refer to my neice and nephew by nicknames. Bubbie age 10 and Kettle Corn age 8 - she chose that one herself. They aren't really ready for fame yet.)
The football is a good quality, well made product like we'd expect from Nerf. The Frames are hard plastic with two led lights and fit comfortably above your eyes.
When we tried on the Frames in a slightly darkened room, the silver "reflective material" lit up in the color the of the Frames. It was pretty neat. Nerf calls this Microprism Technology.
When playing with the FireVision Football, only players wearing the FireVision Frames will be able to see the light effect. This Football set comes with two frames and you can purchase additional frames separately for around $5.99 each. Frames come in red and green.
Bubbie and Kettle Corn aren't the most athletic kids on the planet and to top it off it's been well over 100 degrees everyday, so it took a bit of convincing from me to get them outside to try the Nerf FireVision. The kids played outside at about 4 pm. It was still sunny out and they played in the shade. Neither of them could see light reflecting on the ball so it needs to be a bit darker in order to light up the ball outdoors. 
Once they started playing catch - and I use the word loosely because neither of them actually caught the ball - they had fun with it.
Bubbie wears glasses and he had no trouble wearing the FireVision Frames over his glasses.
Kettle Corn decided to go with the "if you aren't very good, scare your opponent into thinking you are" approach to the game.
The kids had fun with it and I suspect they would have even more fun at night when the light effect comes into play. And if it was Autumn and not as hot outside.
The Nerf FireVision Football is about $19.99(SRP) and comes with two FireVision Frames. The frames use 8 A76 alkaline batteries which are included. Nerf FireVision also comes in Nerfoop with one pair of FireVision Frames $14.99 (Suggested Retail Price) and Hyperbounce Ball with one pair of FireVision Frames $9.99 (SRP).
Nerf FireVision is available at Amazon.com, Target.com, Walmart.com Toysrus.com and more.
