KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

So, over the past few days, we've gotten to see most, not all of the Kingdom Hearts Funko Pops that are to be released in March.

Now, as far as we had previously heard anyway, it seems that the last of these figures (the Gamestop Goofy and the Chip & Dale Pops) have been shown as well.

So here is what seems to be the (hopefully) first wave of Kingdom Hearts Funko Pops:

• King Mickey
• Donald
• Hot Topic Exclusive Donald (Royal Guard outfit)
• Goofy
• Gamestop Exclusive Goofy (Royal Guard outfit)
• Pete
• Chip & Dale 2pack
• Mickey, Donald, and Goofy Pop Keychains

Do you guys plan on getting these? Getting ALL of these? Let us know down below!~

Today saw the launch of Proud Mode in Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ! This new mode of the game gives an extra challenge to players looking for something new while offering cool rewards, including a new Keyblade! This update starts players off with fifty available quests, with more slated to come in the future.

Proud Mode is accessed by going to Story Quests and then tapping the little red button that says Proud Mode. Proud Mode quests don't allow you to use continues or shared medals, and each quest locks you into using one Keyblade. In addition, each quest will have a specific restriction on the special attacks you can use--for example, one may only allow you to use special attacks with a special attack bonus of a certain percentage or higher, or only special attacks with a maximum limit of how many strikes the attack deals--forcing players to think more strategically about the medals they use.



...oh dear

Completing the first three quests alone will net you the Sleeping Lion Keyblade! ...But you can only level it up using Electrum Ores, new Keyblade materials only obtained by completing quest objectives. Sleeping Lion is a Speed-oriented Keyblade with powerful multipliers, so it's well worth the effort! It even comes with all of its medal slots unlocked! In addition to Electrum Ores, completing Proud Mode quest objectives will net you Avatar Coins and helpful Medals like six-star versions of Huey, Dewey, or Louie, or Magic Mirrors!

If you wind up stuck getting through Proud Mode, head on over to our Kingdom Hearts Help section to get some help! And if you're new to Unchained χ, you can sign up for our official KHV parties here
