Celebrity chef Guy Fieri joins athletes Julian Edelman, Klay Thomspon, and Sky Brown, along with musician Diplo - and their animated doppelgangers – in Hasbro’s NERF House sequel, NERF House X, You might also spot Power Rangers and Transformers cameos as well.
The series of five 2D animation shorts, produced by agency Superdigital, with animation from Alkemy X, is directed by Rupert Cresswell; each pairs one of the five, captured in live-action by Edelman’s Coast Productions, with their very own Nerf blaster and adventure within NERF House.
For Fieri, the self-proclaimed mayor of Flavortown, his adventure pits him against those that would jeopardize his “delicious municipality.” And… we’re rolling out!

Each spot blends different styles of cartoon humor hijinks, with the stars each jumping into their own animated and gamified battle as they embrace all things Nerf.
