Every so often, a figure enters the pop culture consciousness and changes it forever, delivering something that the world didn’t know it needed. The latest to have that honor might be Murph, the newly-unveiled mascot for the Nerf toy and game company. Murph, who uses nonbinary they/them pronouns, is an anthropomorphic figure whose body is made entirely out of Nerf darts. The character made their debut to some unexpected fanfare earlier this month, with the unconventional mascot courting a wide array of responses, from horror to genuine amusement, on social media. Now, it seems like Murph has gotten in on the game themselves, launching their own official Twitter account on Thursday. Murph made their Twitter debut with a pretty fitting mirror selfie, joking that they “had foam-o” about not being on social media.
Ok Twitter, I’m here now. I had foam-o. pic.twitter.com/EfO3OBttwH
