Funkeys Dream State Berger Figure

I don't know if the product I ordered would have been fun or not. It wasn't what I received. But because it was so close to Xmas, I gave the character I rec'd to my grandson. He was a little disappointed as he had specificaly asked for the cow (Bergger) and he got a dog instead (Waggs?). These characters\computer games are great and I save money getting them through Amazon. But I was very disappointed when I was sent the wrong product. (When I ordered it said there were only so many left. But I thought that my order assured me of getting the one I was paying for.)I'm an old granny and I need to make points with my grandkids by getting the EXACT request not something similar.

The toy is fun to look at and manipulate. The video display is well made and attractive. Not much educational value but the game forces the kid to use his imagination and to pay attention to details. Unfortunately Mattel has abandon the production line.

This item is a game module for Radica's game called UB Funkeys. It cannot be used without a UB Funkeys base that plugs into your computer via a USB port. I think the best thing about this game is that the player (young or old) must participate in some activity to earn coins that are then exchanged for goods to enhance one of three rooms that you can then share with other players through the internet. The interaction between players on the internet is very restricted, so I feel comfortable letting even my smallest children play online. To really enjoy the game you should also have access to the internet. Some of the modules allow the player to interact with other players through the internet. When signed on as an administrator you can also get updates and patches from [...] automatically. We have not purchased all of the game modules, but we are enjoying the ones that we have. To help you decide which module's character, activity, and the rewards available I will list the ones we have so you can make the decision for yourselves.Berger (cow shaped module) allows the player access to "Daydream Oasis." The activity is to build a 21 scoop ice cream cone. The rewards are dairy related furniture, horns to go on your wall, or other dairy related foods.Drift (speedometer faced module) allows the player to access Drift's Garage in main Funkeys Town. The activity is a pinball game. The possible rewards include traffic cones, different gas containers, tables shaped like the bumpers in the pinball game, and if your real good you can get a free pinball futon.Duce (devil shaped module) allows the player access to "Magma Gorge." The activity is a skeet shoot with records instead of clay pigeons and a trident instead of a shot gun. The possible rewards are all volcanic in nature accept some couches with exhaust pipes on the side and different colored records to hang on the wall in one of your rooms.Dyer (peace symbol faced module) allows the player access to "Daydream Oasis." The activity is a Mahjong game that can be played against someone else on the internet or against the computer.

The activity for any of the modules with antenna is a limited chat with other players who are online. The content of the conversation is restricted to set statements that are selected from the menu. The rewards in Rewind's nest on Funjeykey Island is a phone to invite other players to see one of their three rooms and what they have earned to decorate it with, cell phones give you the ability to participate in this limited chat feature, and you can also get an interactive bird and nest to put in one of your rooms. I love my bird and nest.Scratch (has a record on the face) allows the player access to the noisy "Da Scratch Club" inside Funkeystown. The activity is similar to the wii guitar hero game. It looks like a juke-box and as the music plays a disk floats down to the red line at the bottom of the screen. When the disk hits the red line, the player needs to press either the X, C, M, N, or the space-bar. The player can buy turntables, techno-chairs, speakers and deflector dishes from the counter inside.Snake oiler (has a snake on his helmet) allows the player access to the "Speed Racer Complex" inside Funkeystown. The activity is to drive a race car in a race around bends and obstacles. The rewards are all snake related.

The activity is boxing than can be played against another player online or against the computer. The rewards include technical plans to sprocket to go on the wall of one of your rooms, metal dogs, metal tables shaped like a sprocket, and benches made of sprockets.Sprout (flower on his face) allows the player to access "Kelpy Basin". The game is similar to bejeweled where the player needs to move one flower to get three or more in a row. Then they disappear and you get so long to complete levels one through four. The player can spend their coins at the counter for many different plant related items. I love the round gardens, and the pink flower for getting a high score.Tiki (shark looking with slit eyes) allows the player access to "Kelpy Basin." The game is breakout. The rewards include torches, masks, gongs, and drums.Trixie (looks like a girl wearing purple and pink checked pants) allows the player access to "Speed Racer Complex" inside Funkeystown. The game is to fly her helicopter in a thunder storm and rescue funkeys by depositing them two at a time at the station in the center of Funkeystown. The player can buy checked or flowered wallpaper, flowers in vases and much more at the counter.Twinx (stars on it's eyes and on it's tummy) allows the player access to "Kelpy Basin." The game is similar to the Space Invaders game but with rainbows, clouds, and suns. After clearing a screen of these celestial items going faster and faster as they bounce from wall to wall and level to level, the player can go to the counter and buy chocolate corals, chocolate couches, chocolate waterfalls, and canopy beds and tables.Vlurp (vampire shaped module) allows the player access to "Nightmare Rift." The game is a kind of maze where you must collect watering cans and pots. The rewards include gothic windows, coffins, very large trees, goblets and chairs with bat wings, and if you are good at the maze you get a tomatoes plant called Noctomatoe for one of your rooms.Vroom (red, white and blue with a star on its eye) allows the player access to "Laputa Space Station." The activity is Skeet ball.

The activity is a word scramble (a hard one too). The rewards include anything you might want or not want for your dog.I hope this helps. I noticed that one of the other gamers said that he bought a module and then erased it and turned it into a flash drive. That is utterly preposterous. These are game module that have Read Only Memory, and cannot be used in any other way. They do make a great game. My children are learning that they cannot have the reward they want unless they earn some coins by playing a game first. The game includes good guys and bad guys and great places to explore. I love it, and I am 41 years old. Even my 5 year old loves it. If you decide to play, drop by my room (I am RacersGarage). Have fun.

Didn't work

10 year old daughter is really into these, so the cow just made her very happy. Priced very reasonable.
