Ten Ton Hamster - Your Games. Your Friends. Your Worlds.

Ten Ton Hamster had the opportunity to Interview Ethan Wood, the Industrial Designer for U.B. Funkeys. He gives us some great insight into the design, gameplay, and upcoming content in U.B. Funkeys. He also gives some good tips on beating the henchmen and tells us more about the new chat, quests, and multiplayer minigame features. That's right, now you can challenge your friends in minigames! Read the interview below for all the details and check out this awesome picture of the new "Dream State" Funkeys!

UB Funkeys is an online kids game with some very unique aspects. First of all you can't just sign up and download the game online. In order to play UB Funkeys your child needs to buy a starter pack at the store. Which should cost you about $19.95. The starter kit comes with one big UB Funkey and two little ones. It also comes with a cd you use to download the game.

If you've played U.B. Funkeys before you know that no matter what Funkey you have, mini games are the best way to earn coins. Who doesn't need more coins? Especially in U.B. Funkeys because you can buy all sorts of cool stuff for your Funkey, your crib, and even your pet! Since I love playing mini games (and love getting coins) I decided to give other U.B. Funkey players some tips and insight into the mini games.

Ten Ton Hamster just got word from Mattel that the awesome speakers that they revealed earlier this year will be available sometime this fall. We also received a confirmation in price of the speakers. In addition, they will also have USB drives that will be in the form of UB Funkey's! We wanted to show you a sneak peek of what the speakers and the drives will look like, so check them out below:

Here is what Mattel told us:

UB Funkey's has been chatting on their Forums about new speakers for the game. The UB Funkey's @ The Speak Easy has just revealed that they are going to look like Scratch! These speakers will cost $19.99.

Check out how cute they are!
