 Dream State includes Vlurp, Drift, and Ptep (See below) March 29, 2010

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 possible rewards include rugs in the shape of the peace sign, smile faces that portray a mood for your wall, tie-dye bean bags, and Mahjong tables.
Glub (fish shaped module) allows the player access to "Kelpy Basin." The activity is a bowling game and the possible rewards include under water speakers, a variety of kelps and anemone beds.
Lucky (rainbow faced module) allows the player access to "Daydream Oasis." The activity is a kind of Soccer kick off challenge. The possible rewards include shamrocks, piles of coins and cauldrons of coins.
Ptep (mummy shaped module) allows the player access to "Nightmare Rift." The activity is to reveal two of a kind items arranged in a pyramid. The rewards include hieroglyph tablets and other Egyptian items.
Rewind (parrot with antenna) allows the player access to "Funkeykey Island." 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.
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. He can also access another driver's rewards inside the Royalton complex when the player can buy trophies, display cases of trophies, and game tables.
Sol (sun symbol on the face of this module) allows the player access to "Funkeykey Island." The activity is miniature golf. The rewards include rays of light, tanning beds, hammocks and if you are really good you get a mask that magnifies light so you can explore a dark part of the island.
Sprocket (robot with a sprocket on its tummy) allows the player access to "Nightmare Rift." 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.
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.
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 rewards include couches with exhaust pipes, star shaped tables, engines, and oil drums.
Waggs (dog shaped module) allows the player access to Waggs University in Funkeystown. 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.
Excellent figures, not-so-excellent software January 12, 2010
Steve Moore (Appleton, WI USA)
The figures are very well designed and the quality control is outstanding. Even without the software element, you would be challenged to find a higher quality toy at a lower price.
The software, however, is bulky and cumbersome, and much more difficult (and less rewarding) to use than, for example, Webkinz. Even on my reasonably well-powered PC, the software is sluggish and unresponsive. We no longer play the game, but the figures still adorn my son's shelves.
 DOES NOT WORK ON 64bit VISTA!! March 31, 2009
D. G. Shands (Venice, CA)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My 8 year old received this set and a NEW DELL computer with VISTA 64-bit Operating System. He was SO excited and waited a couple weeks for his grandpa to get the UBs to him for Christmas. We tried for a whole day to download the software. . .called in for help loading it. Finally, the customer service person said, "Oh, did you get a new computer?" Turns out they have not written a patch for the 64 bit system (from the 32 bit system) yet. Their excuse is that 64 bit system was written, originally, for business use & they weren't ready for the huge amount of use the home computers had turned out to be. They have NO DATE that they can give for when it will be available.
Meanwhile, my son uses them as toys. . .they are very cute. . .at least he's getting SOME use from them. But I can't tell you HOW upset and disappointed he is. He's FURIOUS at Radica & Mattel for this oversight and for being SO SLOW to write a patch. I'm pretty furious with them myself. We've boycotted all Mattel until they create a patch.
Lots of fun and better than Webkinz! February 12, 2009
Danielle
I bought a set of these for my son and nephew. And they both love them. As my brother put it "Webkinz are all the craze right now but these are so much better".
