Funkeys Not "Officially" Discontinued
The lack of releases or news of any sort from Mattel on our beloved Funkeys has made it tough to motivate myself to work on updating the site for a while now. I applaud all of you who have stayed with it and continue to frequent the forum. Hopefully, we'll be getting some sort of news soon so we can either rejoice or mourn properly... :)
I did give the Mattel service number a call yesterday and talked to nice woman who assured me that the U.B.Funkeys toy line was still a strong seller for Mattel and their "system" did not have them marked as "discontinued".
My take is that they've all but canceled the line but just haven't taken the steps to properly do so, OR with all that happened with the Paradox Green mix-up and knowing that they couldn't get anything *new* released before the holiday shopping season, they've just placed the line in suspension to re-evaluate next year.
Of course I'm hoping for the latter... :)
With many having vacation time coming up, I hope you all have fun and enjoy spending time with your families!

Oh thank goodness. That made my day. I have more hope now.
Although even funkeyfever is closing down. I guess many people have lost interest already. That could always stop production.
The only thing to do is keep our heads up high and hope for the best. :)
