We showed you pictures a few days ago of the coming Target Exclusive "Adventure Pack" containing figures of Jerry Pearl, the Pineapple King, a Funkiki Island Native and Sol. Funk-E, our Mattel insider, was kind enough to fill us in a few more details.

There will be two Adventure Packs to begin with, the Funkiki Island one we've already seen as well as one for Funkeystown. The Funkeystown Adventure Pack will contain Mayor Sayso, Master Lox, and an undisclosed number of Henchmen. My guess is 2 though I'd love to see all 4 colors; blue, green, red, and purple.

What Funk-E also confirmed was that all the figures are indeed playable being clear that they would have "different abilities then normal Funkeys though".

I'm pretty excited to see what changes are to come from these Adventure Packs. We'll obviously have to see another decent sized game update before these hit the stores, so that's likely the next thing to be watching for. In the meantime, we have Dream State Wave 2 staring to land so get out there and find them! Woohoo!!!

The rumored Funkiki Island figures are finally a reality. Reports started flowing in this morning of the Funkiki Adventure Pack listed at Target.com. The pack looks to include a Funkiki Native, Jerry Pearl, the Pineapple King, and Sol. Images of these first showed up after the NY Toy Fair, which you can see here.

Known for their optimistic outlooks and relaxed attitudes, the Sol bring a ray of sunshine into the lives of everyone they meet. When the Sol adventurer Pol-I-An-Na-Na Sol (called P-Sol by his friends) first reached Funkiki Island, he was sure that everyone would love to come to bask on the beautiful beaches and drink in the endless sunshine...

I finally broke down and bought one Series 2 figure (Sol) off ebay so the kids could play on the new Funkiki Island stuff. I'll post about what they think of the additions soon. I also grabbed the last figure I still needed from the original wave, the Very Rare Twinx. Woohoo!

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 Series with a new hub and 8 new Funkeys.

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