UB Funkeys Dream State Very Rare Collector's Pack

Wow! This is news to me! FunkeyFever.com has the UB Funkey Dream State Collector's Pack for sale.

This is what they wrote: "Collectors Pack! 4 Very Rare Dream States in 1 box, Only 12,000 released, each comes with numbered Seal and 1 Special Edition Metallic Print Collector Card. Cards Available are Vlurp, Ptep,Waggs, Drift. (# specific)"

The Rare Funkey glitch is fixed!

This is actually bad news for us that a glitch was fixed. It appears that the most recent update, version 2.6, not only gave us positive updates to the henchmen, but also fixed a glitch that had enabled us to use any Rare or Very Rare Funkey to view & purchase the rare & very rare items in ANY of the character's marts.


Here's a tip to anyone who does not yet have the version 2.6 update: If there are any Rare or Very Rare items that you want in the marts, buy them now before you let the updates go through! That only applies to those of us who were getting by with only one or just a few Rare Funkeys and using them to "swap out" once we were in another character's mart.
If you are collecting all of the Rare & Very Rare also, then no worries for you!

O Shard, Shard! Wherefore art thou Shard? (u.b. funkeys)

Let's talk about shards, shall we? After emailing with Karl yesterday (please see previous post), something he said had me thinking that we might need to buy every Funkey to complete a step in the game. That step being to complete a gemstone in a zone & getting rid of the henchmen. Karl noticed that there are 4 shards for each zone that have 4 Funkeys, and 2 shards for Funkeystown that have 2 Funkeys with their special access there. That sure is sounding like one shard for each Funkey game! Neither of us have noticed a pattern yet for getting the shards. It appears to be random to me because we've played 5 games in a row (2 different games) and got a shard. But then other times we've played more & did not get any. I haven't been tracking if the shards were earned for different games, but I'll start doing that. If anyone has the answer to this, we'd love to hear it! {please see comment below this post for more good info.}

I'm a frugal person, so I didn't want to buy ALL of the Funkeys for each zone in order to get a full shard. However, for Funkiki Island, from what I know so far, you will need all 4 Funkeys in order to get the Pineapple King what he wants. I just realized, there are no henchmen on Funkiki Island, so there might not be shards to earn there. Hmmmm, does anyone know that one? But the Pineapple King wants a golden pineapple and you need a gem to get into the coconut store (I think all that is correct)......so maybe we will get shards for that gem.

On the topic of not buying every Funkey, here's a tip offered by a poster below (posted in the comment section under Some Funkey Facts)........."My daughter and I discovered that once you are in a store that you can switch from the character that can enter the store to any other funkey. The advantage of this is that you can access the rare and very rare items without having a rare or very rare of every single funkey."

That's cool, very cool. Was that you, wisteriatayu, that posted that comment as well as the others? Thanks for all the great info.

Liam is giving me a rare green Vroom for my birthday this week, so I'll get to try that out! So I should be able to use my one rare Funkey and do the switcheroo all over & get to see the rare items. Can't wait!

For the love of the Funkey

We added Sol to our collection yesterday and the game is a big hit! It's mini-golf on the beach. I only played it twice and haven't won anything yet. I believe the item this game will win is the glowing mask to get through the cave, but I'll report that when I find out. Looks like we need to update our "Funkey Family Photo" that we have posted over to the right!

We got our shipment of Funkeys from the distributor, and some are already up on Ebay. It's for the love of the Funkey that we decided to start a store, not the other way around! I just don't want this blog to turn into an advertisement, so I had to add that! However, if you are looking for some rare Funkeys, we have some up on Ebay right now. If anyone is looking for any particular one, you are welcome to email us.

You can view our items on Ebay over in the right column.

Some U.B. Funkey Facts

I thought I'd list a few quick answers to the questions so many people are asking...........


What is a U.B. Funkey?
U.B. is the hub, and the fun-loving creatures that link up to it are the Funkeys. It is a virtual world (similar to the Webkinz idea) where the Funkeys explore and play mini-games in different zones. They win coins for playing the games, and trophys and other items for high scores. The coins are used for purchasing items to decorate their "cribs". Can more than one user share the U.B. hub? Yes, we know that at least 5 players can create login names, although only one player at time can play.

How do I avoid the henchmen?
A hoodwink will protect your coins from the henchmen. But if you don't have a hoodwink, if you have alot of coins and really need to avoid him, you can quit the game real quick! Or exit to your crib. However, sometimes he's still out there waiting. But I did find one time after I waited a while & came back, the coast was clear. If he does get you, click on the button as fast as you can and you won't loose as many coins. However, if your coins are on the low end, the button pushing doesn't seem to make a difference.

How I do get a hoodwink?
As your Funkey is exploring in one of the zones, you will come across a small spark-looking object. It starts as little bubbles coming out of the ground and then turns to a sparkle. Click on it and you will have a hoodwink.

Which Funkeys are Rare and Very Rare?
There is a book in the Terrapinia library located in Funkeystown that lists all the Funkeys. After you select one, you'll see them pictured in order of normal, rare, and very rare.

Which Funkeys unlock each of the zones?

Magma Gorge: Wasabi, Stitch, Deuce, and Bones

Laputa Station: Vroom, Boggle, Xener, and Fallout

Kelpy Basin: Glub, Sprout, Tiki, and Twinx

Funkiki Island: Nibble, Flurry, Webley, and Sol

Funkeystown mini-games& mart: Lotus and Scratch


UPDATE on 3/22/08: You can find more on the Rare Funkeys on my other blog . And the glitch that is posted in the comment section is now fixed, so unfortunately that trick doesn't work for us anymore.

The Rare and Very Rare Funkeys

There are "rare" and "very rare" versions of the Funkeys that we have not seen in any retail store. We have found them through Amazon.com though. These just have different colors than the regular ones, but they do earn more coins when they play the games. Since Funkeys are generally hard to find and we love them so much, we decided to find a distributor and start selling them ourselves soon. We plan to set up a store on ebay and through Amazon, so stay tuned for that new venture. But until then, you can find some of the rare ones here: UB Funkeys "Sprout" - Very Rare (White). Sprout is one of my favorites. Flurry Rare Green UB Funkeys Funkiki Island by Radica. We don't have Flurry yet, but that will be our next one because we can't wait to have the Fun "key" to unlock Funkiki Island. We haven't been there yet!
