I was excited when Hasbro contacted me and asked me if I would like to review the new new Disney Play mation Starter Kit. My son LOVES the Avengers so I knew he would be excited to try it.
First I should start off by saying I am NOT very savvy when it comes to technical toys, in fact they stress me out. Second, I am not a huge fan of video games where I feel like my child goes kinda “numb” playing them. That being said I also want to give an honest feedback of what I thought of this toy….
The starter kit comes with everything you need to start your battle. Includes Repulsor Gear, 2 Power Activators, 2 Smart Figures, instructions, and 25 embedded missions. Additional missions available for download for Gear registered with the AvengersNet app. To get started all I had to do was put batteries in them, (don’t forget to buy batteries if you are giving this as a Christmas gift). All we had to do was click the on switch. Next thing we knew we had Jarvis from Iron Man talking to us and walking us STEP BY STEP on how to use Replulsor. What a relief, and if you did not do it correct he would tell you another way to complete the task. You can watch us go through this process on our Youtube Play mation Review video.
Once my son completed his training on how to use the repulsor he could start a mission. He started a “battle” with on of the smart figures. After playing with it a bit we realized you really have to move around a lot (which I love, it keep them active) and use some skill to defeat your opponent. It took my son about 20 minutes the first time, he even had hid older sister help for a bit so he could rest. Then all of a sudden the smart figure popped off the power activator and the mission was complete. My kids all jumped with excitement they were so excited and ready to start another mission.
We also learned it is best to have the power activator up off the ground, on a stool or couch. We had ours sitting on the carpet at first and it had a hard time always “seeing” what my son was doing. Once we moved it up a bit, it was almost as if it tracked him around the whole room. My son told me, “I fell like I am in a real movie, I might be the real Iron Man”. I had so much fun watching him run and jump, roll and hide, spin and leap and be a super hero. What a fun way to be the star of your very own adventure.
I give this a HUGE thumbs up, my son and other kids all loved it too. They have played with it for hours tonight and can not wait to play again tomorrow. The one and only negative thing I have to say about it is, it is kind of loud and I have not figured out if there is a way to turn down the volume yet. I need to do a little more research on that. That being said we absolutely love it and would highly recommend it!
