Only kids with rich parents will remember this
This was the gayest shit ever. Worse than tamagochi since you could actually do shit with tamagochi at least.
I had these, they were fucking stupid
were they expensive? we were pretty poor but I had a couple
>You know remember this and UB Funkeys
my favorite part was spinning them around so they'd vomit
I don't remember these being all that expensive.
Were they?
Same with Tamagotchis.
I think I still have my old tamagotchi in a box behind me in a closet.
Also some other various electronics that let you build little games by connecting them in different ways. Forgot the name of it.
What even are these
They were little stick figures that just play animations. The gimmick was that you can connect them then they will do little animations together and "walk across the screens".
>Poorfags who owned under 20 and never built a huge ass building
O am i laffin
>>UB Funkeys
never again
Hey guys, how's it hangin'?
those are some fancy fingerboxes
Get that gay shit outta here.
Also, why aren't these a thing anymore?
Anyone play this?
damn I completely forgot about them, they were a cool little gimmick
My gran gave me this thing. Have to grind all the characters to max level to beat the final boss.
Never had one but I remember the ads. Anyone know if they actually worked as advertised?
>tfw scannerz racerz as a kid
These were fucking great, if a little simple
Goddamn it i remember really wanted one and i was crying during Christmas because my fucking cousin got one and i didn't
It's not like they did much. You could play a one-button minigame, you could turn them upside down to make them throw up, they played idle animations, and if you connected them they played a different set of idle animations.
Scannerz were ass brah. I had that exact one.
I had some handheld game that was about a robot killing shit to get upgrades or something. Anyone know what the fuck I'm talking about?
>tfw you were too poor for toys
I can buy toys for myself now but it's really depressing as an adult
but they didn't do anything
tamagotchis you had to take care of.
these you just watch them fuck each other in the ass
Not even close to rich but my dad loves little stupid shit and bought a bunch of these for me and all of my cousins
He has also apparently bought 20+ fidget spinners after seeing one at a gas station
I remember seeing ads for these. What are they?
They were a bit after my time to be interested in toys.
What the fuck
I thought I was the only one with these.
I had a bunch of them. Even two of the giant cubes.
What are they called again? I want to look em up
Cube World
i still cant believe i bought this piece of garbage for me and my little brother. It got boring after 10 minutes.
Jesus fuck I'm old. I didn't recognize these toys and I was so confused. They all came out when I was just out of high school.
Now this shit I remember. But I had the old yellow one first
Does anyone have the Tamagotchi Mix? Those actually look cool as fuck
outta the way shitbags!
I still have mine
that fucking scanner hardly ever worked, and I think you could just scan the same code over and over and eventually get different shit
I wonder if its worth anything
what was your favorite funkey i always liked the one that looked like captain america
The one with a vinyl record for a face
Chad jr flops this out during recess in front of your gf, what do
I remember those
boy did they cost a lot
especially considering the game that came on them
which was less like a game and more like single player club penguin but with paywalls simulator
fucking kill me
...
>girls caring about video games
I would offer to buy her food and finger her in the bathroom.
I actually bought these as a gift for one of my friend's birthdays. I ended up getting some later too but they were a nice little thing
i had never seen that one
how many of thse things were created i think i had 6
panda
devil
alien
skull
fish
and gas mask
i kinda wish i still had them im pretty sure i must have lost all of them when hurricane carlos flooded my house
>he didn't do digimon battles during his childhood
plebs
What were the giant ones like? Never got to use em
Was this that thing you used to scan barcodes and find monsters or something?
I had loads of these
>Could hold a bunch of stick dudes
>Could have up to 8 attached to them
>Actually had a very large number of interactions
...
>all these cool ideas for lcd games
>but everyone already had a GBA
Those were so stupid and I had so many of them.
>tfw you made your parents spend a shit ton of money for the ladybug one on ebay because there were only a few hundred of them given away at some toy convention
Looks like a shitty Pokedex ripoff.
H-Hey
Had the red one, never understood what the goal of it all was
Slim is what /fit/ aspires to be
My nigga
My parents were far from rich and I had this shit.
I remember using this when I was younger and thinking it was bullshit that a 5th grader knew any of this
I only had most of them up to the second series of them. I didn't even know they kept making these and even made mods for them.
Don't they have this shit for smartphones now?
>Had a stupidly overpowered Pox monster
>Cleared the dungeons or whatever they were stupidly fast
>Moved last year to current home
>The Pox I had been keeping got broken in half because someone moved the box it was inside in a bad way
I need a Pox emulator or something.
then go thank them because they worked really hard so you coulld have your fucking cube
I had the blue one. I think the point was to fight other people so you could take their monsters and dissect them for parts you can give to your own. Never did get to try it though because no one else had them.
>ask a friend at school if he had one
>"Pox sucks user"
How much did these originally sell for?
Why would you do this when you can just buy some blacks?
I remember thinking they looked gay as fuck.
Digital fingerboxes are fucking gross, nothing beats a good quality, wooden or porcelain traditional fingerbox.
That piece of shit never worked for ANYTHING. When I was a kid I went to a grocery store with it and scanned like everything and no monsters came out.
I wanted this shit so bad
was it fun?
It was. You could either fight friends, or go into an arena maze and fight randomly generated enemies. Hard as balls to get used to, but it was fun when you got the hang of it.
mfw I have one of these in my room right
>tfw I'm 19 and I never had to deal with this pixelated black and grey screenshit
I'm not envious of you guys at all. I mean it, good riddance to that.
user no one here in this thread has been here that long and we both know that
I'm 20 and I feel the same way user that shit looks annoying as fuck compared to a normal smartphone app
>tfw simple games like these will never come back in trend again
It wasn't so bad. You didn't think much of it when it was around. That said it was rad as hell when gameboy color was released.
I understand it's an lost art, but it has been resurfacing in Japan lately. Ask /jp/
These were the shit boys
More like "only underages will remember this". I'm in my late 20s and have no idea what this is.
>made my mom pay for these
>played for literally one afternoon
>same thing with the hexbug set I made her buy me
man I was a shitbag, never ask anything from your parents lads because you inevitably used up all those asks when you were a stupid kid
Fucking £20 per packet. I remember saving up to try and get each pair. What a waste of money, last time I saw them was a year ago and put them in the charity bag.
>There only people who owned this was me and some freckled cute blonde girl
>we became friends over it
>we went to each others houses all the time
>our parents thoguht we were dating or bf and gf
>we just turned redfaced and said it wasn't like that
>we went to the park together and even walked past a forest just playing around with our PETs
>one day while it was raining heavily and we were walking through the forest we hid under a tree to wait for the rain to die down
>we talked for what seems like hours
>she looks at me
>I ask her why is she looking at me like that
>she kisses me
>I blush
ahhhh good times
How were these a thing
I have, desu
Ruined my ds
AYO HOLD UP
My friends grandma took me and friend to toystore bought me and friend one and then went on a very long rant about how they are useless trivial shit and that we don't really need them etc made my friend cry I just thanked her for it a played with it while she screamed shit was dumb but I miss it and wish I knew what happened to mine.
I remember constantly wanting these sorts of things as a kid but I was always disappointed by how limited they were. I never learned.
...
I'm also in my late 20s and I have a vague memory of seeing those in toy magazines. Not that I can blame you for not seeing them or remembering one of the million toys like those from our childhood.
I had like a dozen of them from the dollar store. I used to carry them around all the fucking time
Why are you remniscing as though she's not in your life anymore?
I had so many funkeys. I liked the figurines more than the game.
Y-yeah man, I love happy memories like that.
My dad used mine to destroy his CP HDD.
Never again
I had one of these.
It was entertaining for exactly half an hour.
>had a bunch of MMBN figures that came with chips
>never got the PET
Feels bad.
Doubt it could beat the games though.
I remember something like that but my parents weren't rich
What was that toy that started with an M that also hooked up to the computer and had a shitty mmo?
There was like a fire dude or something, I can't remember the name. Munix?
