Okay, so you remember how excited I was last month when we first received our Playmation Repulser Gear after I learned about at D23 Expo? Well, the excitement hasn’t died down any…and now Disney was awesome enough to send me a complimentary Playmation Gamma Gear starter set & Prowler Bot so I can share my experience with you all!! The Gamma Gear was just released into stores yesterday, but I’ve already got a few days of play under my belt so I’m excited to tell you all about it!
If you haven’t read my Repulser Gear review…you can catch up HERE…go ahead, I’ll wait.
Now that you are all caught up…let’s get on to the awesome new Playmation Gamma Gear & Prowler Bot!
Playmation Gamma Gear
The Gamma Gear starter pack comes with two Hulk fists, a power activator and Loki Smart Figure…when you switch on your Gamma Gear, you are taught a few basic moves to get you started: Punch & Ground Slam and will learn other moves, like the Thunder Clap, as you level up your gear. You will also need to power up by pounding your chest and yelling…get ANGRY! Once you start your mission you are transported to Mount Everest to battle Loki. I must say, Loki was difficult for me to defeat the first time. I had a hard time getting the gear to recognize my tsunami move. Each time you level up your powers increase and you get to learn new moves like picking up a tank and throwing it! The boys were getting irritated with me because I was “taking too long” and they wanted their turn at it…lol..but hey I was in the middle of an epic battle, darting and running through the house to avoid getting damage. It’s all in a day’s work here at Avengers Headquarters! They eventually got their turn:
We tried syncing the Gamma Gear and Repulser gear together and it did fine at first, we could battle each other which was pretty cool, but when we tried to go to a mission it froze up and started making some funky sounds so we had to turn both the Gamma Gear and Repulser Gear off, then turn them back on to continue playing. Whether you’re working as a team or battling each other, there is always going to be fun and adventure!
We’ve also had a few minor issues with the gear not picking up the power activator at times…I think they might just be getting low on batteries. Be sure to keep a load of batteries around or try out these recharge packs from PowerA, they really are a life saver when your in full battle mode!
Prowler Bot
The Prowler Bot is a robotic villain from Ultron’s army. It can find and hunt your Avenger Gear with 360-degree movement while taking on dozens of enemy personas and powers with lights and sounds. The Prowler Bot makes gameplay more challenging and unlocks exclusive missions and locations via the AvengersNet app.
The boys like to battle the Prowler Bot. Him moving around makes it more challenging and fun! Just like the power activators you can battle him in “free play” mode (when your in NY City).
Don’t forget to download the AvengersNet App to keep track of your progress, update your gear and download new missions! AvengersNet App for Android does not currently support Gamma Gear, Ultron Smart Figure, or Super Adaptoid Smart Figure. Please check playmation.com/devices for updates.
Playmation is recommended for ages 6 and up. Playmation requires 12 AA batteries that are NOT included.

When it comes to sweet snacks, my downfall (yes I could eat the whole pan) is brownies! Simple, chocolaty and delicious!

I was sent their Fall Pumpkin Spice Combo…one phrase comes to mind…OMG! All of the brownies are so moist and fudgy. They have a very rich chocolate flavor that is not overly sweet.

The wrapping is just as fabulous as the brownies, It comes wrapped in a brown box, with a fall band. The package contains 6 Pumpkin Spice Brownies which are like a pumpkin pie cheesecake swirled into a delicious fudge brownie, & 6 Chocolate Chip Brownies which are rich and chocolaty, great for the chocolate lover!

Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” forever changed the landscape of children’s literature; Disney’s animated “Alice in Wonderland” embraced this fantasy world filled with peculiar characters; and Tim Burton directed a visually-stunning, live-action film that mesmerized audiences worldwide. On Oct. 18, 2016, the enchanting and beloved franchise that has captivated generations of adventurers continues when Disney’s “Alice Through theLooking Glass” arrives home on Digital HD, Blu-ray™, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand.
In “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” the all-star cast from the 2010 blockbuster is back with Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter who’s desperately searching for his family; Anne Hathaway as Mirana, the kind, mild-mannered White Queen; Helena Bonham Carter as Iracebeth, the short-tempered, big-headed Red Queen; and Mia Wasikowska as Alice, the heroine at the heart of the story. Sacha Baron Cohen joins the ensemble as Time, a magical being that is part human, part clock, and the late Alan Rickman—to whom the film is dedicated—is the voice of Absolem, the blue Monarch butterfly who metamorphosed from the blue caterpillar “Alice in Wonderland.”
Fascinating, in-depth bonus features invite in-home audiences to further explore the whimsical world of Underland. Three-time Oscar®-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood reveals the creative process behind the film’s ornate costuming; P!nk provides on-set access during production of her “Just Like Fire” music video; Sacha Baron Cohen showcases his quirky new character, Time; and Director James Bobin offers insightful audio commentary and introduces five, never-before-seen deleted scenes.
