F.A.M.P.S (stylized as f.a.m.p.s) is a PC game developed by Girl Tech, with collectible figures being made by Mattel. It was first released in 2009 and discontinued in 2010. F.A.M.P.S was a spiritual succesor to U.B. Funkeys. Similar to Funkeys, F.A.M.P.S came with a USB hub that registered F.A.M.P.S placed into it. Included with the starter kit was the previously mentioned hub, a disc containg the game and one figure. The disc also contained a download link for the game, a link that has since been terminated by Mattel, meaning the game cannot actually be download or played anymore.

History

F.A.M.P.S prototypes as seen in 2008

Mattel was present at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, there it showed prototypes of new U.B. Funkeys as well as prototypes of 10 F.A.M.P.S figures.

The 10 prototypes were later reworked into 12 different F.A.M.P.S, with some retaining similar details. Out of the 12 known F.A.M.P.S, only 9 were ever released.

As of January 2011 the online features of F.A.M.P.S are no longer supported.

Figures

(Flop and Honey are known names, but it is unknown as to who these belong.)
