This is old news but I thought I should post it anyway. Someone took the time to make a screencast of this Royalton Racing story from a UB Funkey breaking news segment so it's worth a view. Much better than those videos that show shaking, unfocused camcorder footage of their computer screen. Those things make me dizzy.

It's really too bad that the Speed Racer Movie was a bomb this summer. It seemed like a good idea to do a movie tie-in with UB Funkeys because when these things work, they raise the profiles of both parties. More Speed Racer fans might have checked out UB Funkeys and more UB Funkey fans might have checked out Speed Racer. It's too bad they didn't do something with the movie Ironman or even Indiana Jones.

But not all is lost for UB Funkeys this summer. The new Dream State will also be launched with new features and improvements.

Here's a video of some of the new Dream State characters with some Speed Racer stuff mixed in.

With all the Speed Racer talk in the world of UB Funkeys lately, I figured I'd check out the movie that sponsoring it all. This trailer looks like the movie is going to be wild.
