Disney's Playmation ($120) just may be the hottest toy of 2015, and it's the one your kids will be begging for come the holiday season. The new line of toys completely transforms kids into their favorite Disney characters using motion sensors and wearable technology without a wire or WiFi device to be seen. Think of them like this: your little Avengers fans can put on Iron Man's "repulsor" arm pieces and engage in missions (handed down from J.A.R.V.I.S.) that require them to run, jump, and tumble their way around their room. As they play out their missions, their hand and finger movements are tracked, and the arm pieces can shoot and block enemy shots just like they do in the movies. When you push a button to shoot at an enemy, the whole arm piece vibrates as a reaction. When an enemy shoots you, the lights on your palms change colors. You child is essentially Iron Man. The starter pack, which comes out on Oct. 2, includes one piece of Avenger Gear (Repulsor), two Power Activators, and two Smart Figures — a superhero (Captain America) and a supervillain (Iron Skull).
