U.B Funkeys figures are definitely derivative of vinyl figures and art toys: A unique blank slate with different customisations that all look cool and make you want to collect them. It's a concept I genuinely like, especially for the collecting aspect, but I can tell it was more a hassle to buy the pod and different figures to unlock new things with than it was to just buy one toy and have all features accessible that way, and that's probably why it didn't take off.

fun detail about the bearville cafe roleplay! i distinctly remember having the option to “work” a couple selected jobs, like cashier/teacher/server/etc (that’s what the blue uniforms and stars over people’s heads were indicating). your actions and chat options would become limited to whatever you were working as, which is why they all had perfect grammar lmao. every workable job area was staffed exclusively by other players, which made it really cute. i can’t recall if you got paid for working, though i think if you did good enough over multiple shifts, you’d get certain items as a reward. i hopped between webkinz, lpso, and bearville as a kid, so this video was basically like crack for me LMAO

yes, you used to click the clock to "clock in" and you would have to deliver the coffee and tea cups and pastries to people, then if you were ordering it you could click to drink and eat it. and i think you got paid if you did it long enough? i also remember if you clicked on the painting on the far left of the room it would take you to a secret room upstairs that was like a garden or something?

I will never forget I had gotten the shining star dragon @ an old block buster. Bought it because I loved dragons and not for the online gimmick. It wasn't until a year later that I realized I could set up an account for the toy only for the website to constantly tell me "too many people are signing up right now." So I never had the joy of playing this knock off, but the stuffed animal itself was my all time favorite for years. So it has a special place in my heart even if they didn't let me play the game

I had a couple-weeks stay at a children's hospital as a kid and my room had a computer in it. This was the height of the Webkinz craze and my dad wanted to get me one to cheer me up, but they were sold out everywhere. A nurse had told him that the hospital sold Webkinz in the gift shop, but it turned out to be Shining Stars. He got me one anyway bc he thought they were cute and figured it was something I could look into to take my mind off things. I named that Star "OUCH" played it for a few minutes, then logged back into Webkinz. (I do still cherish my Lion Shining Star tho, all these years later).

Me and my family absolutely LOVED U.B. Funkeys. Whenever we had a family shopping trip, I would always save up my money and spend it on new funkey's and get all excited to come home to play their respective games and see what new items they had in their shops. In the past year, me and my mum actually started properly collecting all the funkey's and we've managed to get every single one in each different rarity, except for the henchman figure - which I consider one of my proudest achievements in life 😂

@dullsunrise8820 4 месяца назад

I loved both Webkinz and Bearville equally so hearing that Bearville shut down was kinda heartbreaking. For some reason I thought it was still going, but it lasted quite the long life at least in comparison to other Webkinz wannabes. Also the Shining Stars animated short thing looks like stuff that’s be on RU-vid kids minus the trauma fuel.

I was pretty happy when Ty launched 2.0 as I was one of the unlucky kids whose single webkinz had a code that'd been sniped before I could play. I actually still have all three of my 2.0 beanies (two pink cats and one black cat). Some bizarre memories of the website include: the fact that the chat system wouldn't let you type numbers as part of the filter system, but would let you ask people how old they were as one of prewritten questions, so we had to find workarounds (I remember feeling very clever saying "dozen" to mean 12), and one of the songs that played when you decorated your room was "Life is a Highway". The 2008-ness of it all... I was also a Snootz hater even at that age; somehow his voice is even more grating than I remember. I'd also completely forgotten about the Bratz virtual world, despite having one of those, too (the purple one with the panda). I guess that speaks to how much I actually played it.

Webkinz was obviously my favorite and the GOAT, but I was also OBSESSED with buildabearville. I wish I could go back and play it again so badly. I agree, it’s visually so appealing. What I adore is that it looks like all the backgrounds are hand painted like it’s a storybook. There was always SO much to do on there. Like Webkinz, the longer you played, the more rewarding it felt, because you’d collect rare items and new things were always popping up. They also had a whole ass soundtrack??? Game recognize game For me, if you want me to get hooked on your Webkinz knock-off, you gotta have amazing mini games. And buildabearville did for SURE. Similarly, I think that’s why I enjoyed Shining Stars tbh!! I never had high expectations for it like I did for Webkinz, but I feel like I remember enjoying the mini games and I appreciated that they at least had a theme to the whole website. I like stars and space themes. Funnily enough, I don’t remember any of the features that you mentioned in the video!! I think I just played games and collected stars??

I remember watching the hell out of the Shining Stars movie all the time when I was younger. Fun Fact: Ian James Corlett did the voice of the Narrator. There was also a bonus feature on the DVD where there were 3 different ways the Shining Stars released Monkey and defeated Dark Star and there were also animated bloopers which I personally thought were very funny, I wish they still did that nowadays. And a little slideshow you could watch of all the clip art of the Shining Stars next to their IRL plushie in a fashion show type setting over some super generic pop music. There was also a music section where you could click on what piece of music, that hadn't been featured in the movie mind you, you wanted to listen to, most of it was your generic 2000's pop music but I remember there being a piece of surprisingly sultry music (Idk why they decided to feature that on a movie for kids) I don't know where the dvd is now since it's been a while since I watched it, but if I do find it, I might try to record it and upload the current lost media to RU-vid.

Thanks for making such a comprehensive video, super informative! Also the Chihuahua is my longtime favorite Webkinz, literally had my plushie sitting beside my screen before I clicked this lol. I enjoyed seeing all the clone game Chihuahuas you included for comparison.

Tamagotchi Connection was another virtual world for your pet. It had codes that you could get from the site to input into your toy, like a reverse of Webkins. And whatever evolution your Tama was on your physical device, if you sent your little Tama friend/pet into TamaTown, by way of a generated code, you would see that character in the town. My sister was all about Webkinz, and I was all about them Tamagotchis.

I think an honorary mention that most people don’t know about is My E Pets!! I’d love to see you do a video or talk about that bizarre website and toy brand that seems to have faded from existence during what I can only assume was its peak popularity! There were unfinished parts of the map that literally never got done because it got discontinued! So strange. When I wasn’t on webkinz or go girls games I was on My E Pets!

As a child I was briefly obessed with trying to find a way to play with my 2009 american girl doll on Innerstar University. There was no way to retroactively get a code, and there was no way I was ever going to be able to afford a second doll just to gain full access to a game.

I’ve played webkinz and bear like and when I tell you I spent so much more time on bear like than webkinz because there was so much to do! I loved it until one day I couldn’t login anymore and lost EVERYTHING. I cried so much that day because I really did play that much. Someone’s trying to recreate it to make it free for everyone just like club penguin. Hopefully they can!

20:40 Oh hey, I actually had a few Seapals! Ones I had were the pink anemonefish and the bannerfish ones, might've had a couple others but those were the ones I remember (might've also had the pufferfish one?). Don't remember what the actual game was like though, but from the footage in this video, maybe that's for the best (I... probably only got the Seapals because I really liked fish/marine life in general when I was younger)

This video was made for me. The webkinz. The lpso. I remember that stat commercial. I've been a build-a-bear emoloyee for several years now and we all reminisce about bearville all the time. I had several UB funkeys!! Absolute delight to watch this!!

@strappadork 4 месяца назад

I loved Rescue Pets as a kid, probably because it was the first virtual world I ever heard of. Never knew about the 3d version though, that looks like... something else. And yeah, I don't remember Snootz being like that. Somehow as a kid he just seemed normal.

I was really an Animal Jam kid, so I'm very lucky that my main childhood virtual online world is still up and running, but I just keep going back to how much I miss Fantage! I feel like nobody ever talks about Fantage, but it was my whole life before Animal Jam. The art style, the customizations, the freaking fairy grotto- I would give my soul to be able to play it again.. Sadly the only two revival attempts I heard of fell through and the company who owned it have absolutely no intention of rebooting or continuing the fanchise.. It genuinely breaks my heart that I couldn't even log on for the farwell celebration because the computers I had acess to couldn't load the website (it was already breaking down, even before the death of Flash). I would pay money to a legit group of devs to make a rewritten version..

I loved Build-a-Bearville, it was awesome, the mini games were so much fun, had a straight up fire soundtrack, and it was always filled to the brim with others playing too. They also had seasonal events like an interactive haunted house at Halloween and summer camp during the summer months. The customisation options were amazing for the cub condo (home for your avatar and build a bear), your avatar and the virtual build a bear. Miss that game. I also played Webkinz as a kid, it was a lot of fun as well, but Build-a-Bearville will always be my favourite one as it’s what I grew up with. Hopefully the Build-a-Bearville Rewritten being a fan project for the fans will successfully come back and not get pulled by Build a Bear like Disney has done with Club Penguin comebacks, which my sympathies goes out to all the people that just wanted to relive their childhoods again and Disney took that opportunity away, really quite sad.

Okay, I actually have the Shining Stars snowy owl. I didn't know that it was for an online game, I just found it cute and was kinda floored when I recognized the star symbol on the footage. I also have the LPS cat and didn't know about the game for that either. I actually played Bella Sara and the Build a Bear game with my older sister and definitely did not expect the former to be mentioned so that was a nice surprise.

@fusetunes 4 месяца назад

also you should definitely do a video on defunct free-to-play social/rp sites like nicktropolis and the lost foster’s home browser mmo. they’re pretty fascinating and there’s an air of mystery around them since they weren’t archived very well

I only just finished this video and the shining stars pets just flashed me back. I don't think I ever played the online gamemode, but I DID have that dragon plush and seeing it again made me feel some sorta way!!! I'm always surprised by how youtubers will just unearth things for me in my brain randomly! This was a delight overall though, I love seeing old virutal worlds and this video had such a fun twist on it based on Webkinz! (you're making me want to check out Webkinz in general :D)

@maccamachine 4 месяца назад

Another amazing video. I used to love webkinz as a kid and my dad helped me set everything up and even name the first one I had. We both still remember the name and he even uses it as a password for stuff sometimes. But as a kid i loved anything virtual world type thing. I played almost any i could find like webkinz, club penguin, monkey quest, nicktropolis, free realms, and a bunch more.

Sea pals was my favourite game ever, I guess there’s not clips of it online but you could decorate your aquarium and watch your fish swim around and feed them and take care of them. It was so nice. There was also a multiplayer world where you could meet other fish. I miss it so much.

@theoneswhosayya4215 2 месяца назад

I clicked in beefing with you calling my beloved UB Funkeys a Webkinz imitator, but that was some solid coverage. I don’t want to think about the number of those I accumulated over the years I played as a kid, but the visual and audio experience that was UB Funkeys still lives in my brain, and playing again last year it still holds up. Thanks for covering this game! ((RIP my webkinz lmao))
