Round-up of Recent Funkeys News

Game Update:
As most of you know by now there was a version 3.15 update released recently called "Promo". I didn't post about it right away because there weren't any obvious changes to the game. I confirmed over the weekend that the update was strictly back-end updates. On the plus side, some in the forum have reported that it seems to have fixed some glitches in their games for them.

Pink Exclusive Dream State Starter:
Over the weekend, Bryan1-2 from the forum reported a new color variation of the Dream State Starter. It has a pink version of the UB hub (not just plain pink like the Limited Too exclusive) and comes with Twinx and Waggs. Funk-E confirmed to me that it is a Toys R Us exclusive. On a side note, Funk-E also confirmed that the black hub version of the Dream State Starter is an exclusive for a UK based retailer called Argos. I've done some digging and they will not ship outside of the UK, so US collectors are going to have to resort to places like eBay as they start becoming more widely released.

Other Images:
First one up is this image of some early prototypes from Hidden Realm. We originally talked about it here but didn't post the image at the time...

Second is an image that was pointed out by someone on the forum. It's the Speed Racer image from Target.com. I hadn't noticed, but the Racer X in the image looks completely different as if it was an early design...

Last image for this post is a Funkiki Island image I had not seen before. Looking around last night, I found this on the UK version of the Radica website...

By, "Forum" near the Speed Racer picture, are you talking about the one on the Official site, or the one here? If it's the official site, I was the first to report the news. If it was here, someone stole my news! :)
Which reminds me, for some reason it won't let me sign up for the Babble Forum. Every time I try, it says, "Error Loading Page" and then when I try to sign up on the same name, it says, "Name already used" so then when I tried to login on that name, it said, "Account currently inactive." Please help me!

Hey pteprocks, go to the contact form on this site and let me know what username you tried. I'll see if I can figure out what happened and get it fixed.

Arrg, I'm bugging my Mom to make me that E-mail address (I would do it, but she needs the stupid internet bill) She says it MIGHT be up by tomorrow. I'll try to contact as soon as I can.
