UBfunkeys: I smell some candy Just got this from Firebox:
http://www.firebox.com/product/1804?itc=66&src_t=nwt&src_id=153
or
http://tinyurl.com/2fwyrt
...the online RPG/ARG element looks suspiciously mindcandy-ish, and the age bracket is right.
One big doubt though: not Mac compatible. Now they wouldn't do that to us would they?
If it is, do I get a free one for first spotting?

Yeah, but notice that two of them are called Kyle, and all three have replies by Firebox (check out the other products and see where this occurs: not), so methinks this is a marketing tricklet.

The whois for http://ubfunkeys.com gives Mattel - could MC have linked up in order to get production of them sorted? Or is this wholly Mattel and nothing to do with them?

Unrelated.
http://www.moshimonsters.com/ is the MC site.
(Which, I'm bringing it up since the site was updated with a "tour." Anyone else notice that some of the "puzzles" there looks like Slamboozle?)

Bumping, since the website's been updated again.
It seems to be running in a sort of "beta", and to get a invite it requires a special code included with a Mopod to gain access to the real site. (The "mopods" being a sort of those cell phone charm that flashes/spins when you're getting a call.)

Please no bumping.
Move any convo about something new to the News and Rumors forum, since it's not Perplex City-related.
