Funkeyfan559 from the forum pointed out a couple images on Flickr a few days back of a Funkeys both from a toy show. It looks to be a show in the UK, since the UB in the logo is black. The only black UB is from the UK exclusive Dream State starter pack. I really like the use of the cardboard stand-ups and the gigantic balloon Deuce. What I'd love to get my hands on is one of the posters hanging on each corner. Well, OF COURSE I'd love to get ahold of the balloon Deuce or one of the cardboard stand-ups, but that's not too likely... :(

Update: "These photos are from the Leipzig Gaming Convention held in August 2008 in Leipzig, Germany." - Thanks to Kyau for this updated info!

The target.com site is now showing images of the first Plush UBFunkeys coming out including Deuce, Lucky, Waggs, Berger, Bones, and Sprocket. The odd thing about them being on the site is that they are only available in the Target stores. They will not be available to order online. So what do you think? Personally, I'm a bit disappointed with the way they look...

It's official! The USB Funkeys Flash Drives are out at Target. One of our forum members, Cuddles, has purchased one of the new USB flash drives from Target. She got a Deuce and took some additional pictures for us...



1) We now see the back of the package that contains images of other Funkeys as well as some text that I can't make out.

2) The complete contents of the package including the Deuce USB Drive, instruction sheet, USB extension cable (for those hard to get to USB ports), and an attachable string/key chain thingy.

3) Flash Drive Deuce with his head off to expose the USB attachment.

4) USB Drive Deuce with the string/key chain thingy attached to his head.

5) Size comparison of the regular U.B.Funkeys Deuce and the Flash Drive Deuce. I had imagined them being bigger, but I'm glad they aren't.

We were able to get a contact form up and functioning so you may now tell us all about how much you dislike the site! Woohoo... But seriously, we'll be adding a "resources" section soon, so if you run or know of a good Funkeys related site, let us know.

So as you can probably tell, this site "just" went live and there's a ton to do. Up so far is the "characters" page which currently lists and shows images of all 66 U.B.Funkeys that were designed and added to the game before it was released. That's 22 characters (or tribes) and the three color variations for each. Soon, they will each click through to bio pages that will include more images and information about the characters. That list currently includes Bandit, Boggle, Bones, Deuce, Dot, Drift, Fallout, Flurry, Glub (not Gulb as it was misspelled on the first wave of packages), Lotus, Nibble, Scratch, Sol, Sprocket, Sprout, Stitch, Tiki, Twinx, Vroom, Wasabi, Webley, and Xener.

Also, there's the "Where to buy Funkeys" page, which lists the stores you can find UBFunkeys at and links to a few places you can purchase them from on-line.

More soon!
