Anyone remember these? They were the shit back in 2007. I wonder if there's a way to get Mattel to bring them back.

I guess this was an early attempt to cash in on hipster urban vinyl
My favorite of those were the Taco Bell Bellendz toys that looked like penises
>>6122413
It was the first ever toys-to-life game, it was Skylanders before Skylanders.
>>6122418
huh. surprised I never heard of them until now. They definetly do have the urban vinyl 'stylihs repaint of simple blank' look of the time, though
>>6122421
Yeah, they're really cool though. You should look it up.
I have autism.
>>6122418
>toys-to-life
shouldnt they be called "toys to game" or "game to life"?
>>6122375
I wonder if they have penises wouldn't that be funny guys haha
What did the red button do
Was the game good?
>>6127508
what do their penises smell like and do they get embarrased just wondering haha
>>6129743
Probably like vinyl haha wouldn't that be hilarious
im horny
>>6133920
u b horny
>>6134509
LOL I GET IT
Is anybody gonna talk about UB Funkeys???
>>6137229
No. No one cared about that shit then and no one cares now. But since you keep bumping this thread, we may as well use it for something more interesting.
Like these.

>My favorite of those were the Taco Bell Bellendz toys that looked like penises
These rustled the hell out of kidrobot vinyl hipsters when they came out. It actually made them hit the streets in feeble protest.
>>6137238
This pic here has more salt than anything ever served by Taco Bell.
>>6122375
can you scan them as amiibos?
>>6137241
it's funny because kidrobot is now owned by NECA and pic related is cooler than anything they've ever put out.
>>6122375
I had a bunch of these as a kid, but I remember the game being pretty lackluster.
Seeing how popular shit like Skylanders and Amiibo are maybe if Funkeys were around now they'd be more popular? Were they too ahead of their time?
>>6138978
Yes.
I hope this game gets brought back I had all of the charcters and I want new ones. They would be more popular today.
>>6140450
what exactly do you do with them? videos show me you just play minigames. they dont fight or anything cool like that
you guys are weird
anybody have any of these figures to sell?
i have a few of these
>>6149124
would you sell them? how much would you take?
>>6140875
>videos show me you just play minigames
Pretty much this. It got pretty boring pretty fast. I remember being able to buy furniture for your house, but you couldn't interact with it in any way, like say Animal Crossing or The Sims. At least not that I knew of.
>>6150145
>'urban vinyl' aesthetic
>Habbo Hotel style gameplay
these things are 2007 as fuck

Do you think there's a way to bring them back? I have some ideas for later series of UB Funkeys that include Bandit and original made Funkeys such as an art Funkey and a lobster. I also had the idea that Paradox Green should've had 14 Funkeys like Dream State and Funkeystown.
My ideas part 1:
Paradox Green would be a series with 14 Funkeys, and Paradox Green would be split into two zones; Industrial Wastelands and Seasonal Meadows.
My first Funkey is a pinata Funkey named Pinata, who's home is in Funkeystown.
Next is BU, a Funkey that mimics UB, and is in Magma Gorge.
The other two already made are Nectar and Maul, who would stay the same.
For Industrial Wasteland, it would have Rastro, Ace, and two original Funkeys; Camo and Fossil. Camo is a soldier Funkey who was seen on the "More to Come" on the back of Hidden Realm packages. Fossil is a T Rex Funkey.
The Funkeys in Seasonal Meadow are Tadd, Mulch, and two others who are Bandit (a raccoon), and a butterfly named Wings.
Instead of 2 game creators, there would be 4. 2 would have the cylinder ear shape, while the other 2 would have the ear shape as the unreleased speaker Funkey. The 4 would be Ace, Mulch, Amp, and Claw. Amp is the speaker Funkey who is in Funkeystown, while Claw is a lobster Funkey in Kelpy Basin. The game creators had backpacks, so Amp's would be a boombox, and Claw's would be a seashell.
The adventure pack of Paradox Green would have Doc, Doctor Tinker, Henchmen 2.0, and Fossil.

Next is a zone with 4 Funkeys, called Barnacle Bay, or something like that. It would be pirate themed. The 4 Funkeys would be named Anchor, Jolly, Siren, and Voodoo. Anchor is a dolphin, Jolly a pirate, Siren a mermaid, and Voodoo a doll.
>>6153536
Cool story.
I actually really liked these, I never got the Chinese ones though :(
>>6122375
UB Funkeys was the shit my dude
>>6170481

>>6172532

I miss this game, maybe if it was brought back people would like it more.
>>6177432
true
>>6177432
it would be shoved into the back of a 99c store with Angry birds Stella, the hero portal things and Sick Bricks.
