Product Description

Editorial Review

Furby has been resurrected from relative hibernation to join the throng of electronic pets on the toy market—and, truthfully, he’s one of the cuter ones out there. With his round, furry body; pointy, wiggling ears; and cute little Munchkin voice, Furby is much more endearing than some of the competing hard plastic robotic animals. He’s also a lot more sophisticated than previous models as Furby is now powered by a technology Hasbro calls emoto-tronics. This technology enables the little guy to show his moods, from happy to sleepy to surprised to sad, through facial expressions and through the tone of his voice. Furby arrives speaking his native tongue of Furbish, which sounds like a bunch of gibberish to the untrained ear. With his owners’ guidance, however, Furby learns a form of English that sounds like a cross between Gremlin chattering noises and Yoda’s backwards sentences. The more kids play with Furby, the more advanced his actions and vocabulary become; eventually, he can tell a joke or story or play a game. Furby runs on four "AA" batteries (not included). --Cristina Vaamonde

When I ordered this Furby I wasn't thinking how pretty it was. I had ordered my 10 yr old daughter a white and lavender one, after thinking about it for awhile I thought my 4 year old boy would probably really enjoy one also, after all the furbies will talk to each other, and I really wanted to see that, so I ordered him this one because it is really hard to find one that doesn't have white on it. I didn't think that it was pretty at all, I just figured that after a year of my son playing with it this one would look much better than a dirty white one, so this is the one I picked. It came a couple of days ago and to be completely honest, I was very surprised at how pretty it was in real life. The picture does it no justice at all. I was a little worried that he would be disappointed that his sister got one that was so pretty and his looked like an old stray dog, but now that I have seen it I think he is going to be thrilled with it. I think my daughter may even like his better than hers.

And look at the price!!!! I paid full price for ours, and have you seen what they are going for on ebay?! I wish I hadn't already spent all of my money on Christmas gifts, I would buy as many as I could and sale them on ebay.

I'm getting a furby for christmas I just found out I was looking at it push it bell it says "you me friends hum...." or some thing else i forget.once I tripped over a box when I was leaving the furby's hidding spott and the furby said oh-no.It really understood me.Don't buy a referbeshed furby because my best friend has one and it never shutsup and their is no off button and it awakes to anytype of noise so you'll end uo like me best friend and shutting it in the bath room and it will run out of batteries and you'll never replace them and you won't take out the batteries because i think it cries or something.the difference between the new furby and the olds ones is the new ones are way more cute,they don't talk as much as the old furby's,the new ones are bigger.Unlike the old furby's the new ones listen to you.buy a furby cause thier pure fun!!!!!!!
