Low-Budget TV Props of the Day: Redditor Drahos spotted something familiar on the set of Terra Nova: barely-disguised Nerf guns standing in for high-tech weaponry.
He writes, “You can nab these things for $40 retail!”
Elsewhere in the thread, theartfulcodger, a self-described “Property Master with 30 years experience,” suggests that most of the budget for the show went to its 16(!) producers, leaving the prop department with Nerf-level money to spend.
Still, he says, they should have done more than paint the weapons, because “showing it unmodified is breaking copyright, unless they acquired permission from Hasbro in advance.”
Whether he’s right or not, would anyone but a huge Nerf fan even notice?
