Amazon.com Product Description:
This specialty starter kit will have you well on your way to U.B. Funkey world -- and a possible collection addiction. Funkeys are creative vinyl characters that plug into a larger Funkey hub attached to a computer in order to travel around their virtual world, play games, build a "crib," and interact with other Funkeys. This starter kit includes the 5-inch-tall white Funkey hub, USB cable, two 2.75-inch-tall Funkeys, and installation software. All in all there are 42 different Funkey characters: three different colors in 14 different designs. Of the three in each design, one is quite common, one is rare, and the third is very rare by collection standards.
 | | There are 42 curious, cute, and collectible characters in all. |
To log your Funkey on, simply stand it on the "hub" attached through the USB port. You’ll see your character’s avatar match the appearance of the Funkey plugged in and you’ll be able to visit locations and play games that are attributed to that Funkey’s properties. To encourage collection of additional Funkeys, Radica implemented a few clever rules. For instance there is a coin system, which awards different coin values depending on the Funkey currently in play. Items that can be purchased with those coins also vary with the character in use, and, lastly, certain games are only unlocked and available if the right Funkey is plugged in to the hub. Which means the more Funkeys you collect, the more virtual places and games you can experience and the more coins you can accumulate.
 | | The 2.75" character stands in the 5" hub to connect. | By playing games in the U.B. Funkeys world, characters earn coins that they can then use for purchasing items for their "crib." These rooms are customizable, from wall colors to furniture and plants to accessories, and can also be uploaded for friends to see. Just give your "crib" a name, share it with your friends, and they can visit anytime they’re logged on. There are four zones that offer a total of 16 games for players to conquer, and 30 stores where they can spend their hard earned coins on more than 1,000 virtual items. Now the question is: Are you Funkey?

Funkeys starter kit is fun, but has no educational value whatsoever. It's one of those things that you play with when you have nothing else to do. It is sort of like club penguin but with no chat and more games. All in all, Funkeys is pretty cool.

I had this item in my Cart @$17+ 3 weeks ago, then the price incrementally went to $32. So I bought through Target on-line at $14.99 +tax, free shipping -oddly it was shipped through Amazon. Today I see the new Amazon price is $14.99. Makes me use Amazon to find items and create a shopping list -just to shop elsewhere, & I used to trust them.
Thanks for the tech issues post, now worried that I'll have to re-install during each visit to out-of-town nephew, just great!

My kids got the starter kit 4 days ago and have since gone to 4 different stores looking for new characters. At $5-$8 a pop they have purchased 7 new ones in just 3 days. They have been hooked-until today. Immediately after the Login process a screen pops up asking you if you want to create a unique user ID for chats etc. If you select "no" it tells you that you will not be able to participate in many features of the product. My 10 year old decided to go ahead and create this new user ID. It does ... Read More
