All I can say is "it's about time!" The coverage of the NY ToyFair has been miserable this year so far. Hopefully more people have been taking pictures and still plan to post them.



As has been swirling through the various U.B.Funkeys Blogs, Figures.com has posted some images from the Radica booth including Funkeys and the new F.A.M.P.S figures. YOu can check them all out here...

I have to admit that while the stuff on display is quite awesome, I was expecting a bit more of a display this year. The display budgets must have been slashed from last year.

My favorite images are the ones here that show what we can obviously expect to see in the Adventure Packs for Dream State and Hidden Realm if/when they get released. I'm pumped for these figures!

Daydream Oasis Adventure Pack Characters:


Hidden Realm Adventure Pack Characters:


I think they did a nice job with some of the non-traditional bases in making them look good and still be able to attach to the existing UB hubs...

There was more, but I have to run! I'll try and post the rest later tonight...

CNET has a small story covering the CES show where the DC and Series 5 images came from on Friday's post. They had one image of the Funkeys booth which shows a much clearer view of the new Joker Funkey...

I was checking around and stumbled on these images taken at the Consumer Electronics Show currently going on in Las Vegas. Mattel is showing off the DC Funkeys again, with the addition of The Joker! Which means my theory was right and the DC line will have villains too! :)

Also pictured are some Funkeys with 2 new head shapes, which I'm assuming must be the new Series 5 Funkeys that were announced a few days ago that use the Game Factory Tool.





These are looking to be VERY cool! Can't wait to see more close-up images...

Also being shown by Mattel is what looks to be a new line of figures similarly inspired by the Urban Vinyl movement, called f.a.m.p.s. They seem to be made and marketted for girls, but I know as a toy/figure collector, I'll be picking some of these up...




The images were part of this article on mobitrends.com where you can find more information...

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!
