Charcter Pages - First Shot with Vroom

Well I figured that I'd play a little today and work on the basic look of the character pages I plan to build. Each will have a bio, images, and anything specific to that character regarding the game itself such as portals and games. Click on the image below to see the basic page layout and please let me know what you think! Now's the time to make changes before I do all the character pages...

Third wave now showing up - Flurry, Nibble, Sol, and Webley

It seems strange that they would already be releasing the third wave considering that the second wave hasn't even close to saturated the US market yet, but they have! I had gotten a few unconfirmed reports from people that these new figures were showing up, but now I'm seeing them on eBay. The third wave has a new look to the packaging and features Funkiki Island. The following images are from eBay, you can link through to the auctions for these characters:

Sol:

Flurry:

Webley:

Nibble:

So for the record...

Wave One: Boggle, Bones, Deuce, Lotus, Scratch, Twinx, Vroom, and Xener

Wave Two: Fallout, Glub, Sprout, Stitch, Tiki, and Wasabi

Wave Three (confirmed so far): Flurry, Nibble, Sol, and Webley

Others known to be coming in January 2008: The Speed Racer SeriesNew Speed Racer Funkeys with a new hub and 8 new Funkeys.

Man, I'm behind in getting these! Stupid slow Mid-West store chains... :)

Changes in the game?

Hi all. Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I got an e-mail early this morning about some changes in the game. I haven't been able to check on them myself and I'm at work so no time for that now. Just wanted to give a heads-up to all. If this is good info, a big thanks to MKJ. Here's what he had to say...

"have you seen the new update on ubfunkeys they went from version 1.2 to 2.0 with the addition of a few things... coodies that come from FUnkkii island which is also a new portal. new washing stations to wash off the muddiness that the coodies who are good guys leave on the funkeys. THey have a kinda carwash for funkeys, washing fountains, dentist all in funkey town, and on the kelp area new coral fish that will clean the funkeys as well. the new addition of a new map to show what is what different shaped and colored irons to show shops, havens and wash stations. CHeck it out"

So start your games up and see what changes get downloaded! Post comments here and let us all know!

More Images of Speed Racer Series U.B.Funkeys

Doing a bit more hunting, I came by some images of the Speed Racer Funkeys display that were taken at the 2007 San Diego Comicon by the folks over at Figures.com...





This looks like it's going to be interesting. I'm curious how they'll intermix the storyline of the game. They've already stated that the figures will be compatible.

Anyway like I mentioned in the last post, you can pre-order the Speed Racer starter kit on Amazon.com...funkeys

New Speed Racer Funkeys Coming in 2008!

It looks as though the Funkeys line is going to be branching out in to other licensed properties. You can now pre-order a New Speed Racer Funkeys Starter SetNew Speed Racer Funkeys.


So does anyone else have any info on this line? The page on AmazonNew Speed Racer Funkeys says that they will be released on January 15th and has these details...
  • 8 New collectible Speed Racer themed Funkeys
  • Unlocks new Speed Racer world & games
  • New "crib" designed as a garage
  • New Speed Racer hub
  • Speed Racer characters compatible with original hub
I've been planning to paint my own custom versions of some characters from Invader Zim and a few other shows, but they beat me to it the idea!

Thanks to Lisa for sending in the tip!

New Funkeys in the US - Tell Us Where!

So what I've been hearing from some of you is that the new round of Funkeys (Wasabi, Glub, Stitch, Fallout, Sprout, and Tiki) have indeed been shipping in some areas of the US. This is also seen by the fact that they are showing up on eBay from areas such as Texas and California.

What would be very helpful is if anyone who has been seeing them in the US, please leave a comment here and tell us all where! Take a picture of them at the store with your cell phone if you can. Let me know here and I'll get the images from you and posted them for all to see.
