Product Description

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

4.0 out of 5 stars A review from a parent September 29, 2005

I have three children, who range in ages 3-6. I bought a Furby for each child because they felt they couldn't LIVE without one! They have been entranced with their Furbys since day one! My eldest daughter is very motherly to her Furby, while my 3 year old son has great fun talking to his and hearing it talk back to him! It is beneficial for children to actually comprehend that language has to be learned...and to see them teaching their Furbys is wonderful. The kids get to be a parent and a teacher to these toys. I highly recommend these for children. Each Furby has it's own personality, which is cool...they are not all alike! And the on/off switch is a bonus!!

I love the new furby. It captivates me for hours. It makes the old furby really look prehistoric. I think that it truely is the hottest toy. They each have there own little personality!

Mine gets crabby when you wake him up!. He can be mean sometimes. I've had my new furby for 2 weeks now. I always play with him and dress him up. I still love the old furbys but the new ones make them look 'stupid'. Playing with the new furby is so much more fun. While the old ones are so annoying. Now the new furby has a on and off switch. unlike the old annoying ones. I almost felt like destroying me furby when it wouldent shutup. (I really wouldent do that) but i was tempted. The new furbys are so much cuter, the eyes so much more lifelike. the eyes on the old furby were crap. the new ones also arent so friggin loud when the move. you dont hear WHHHRRRRRRRR when the new furby moves. Its almost completely quite. I extremely recommend this awesome toy to you. if you thought the old one was so high tech, see this cutting edge one! believe me you or your kids will love the stuffing out of it!.

I got my white furby about 3 days ago. I almost got the grey and pink one, but I didn`t know what the color patern looked like in real life.Later I`ll buy it if it isn`t too girly(no offence).At first it only spoke furbish. The more time you spend with it the faster it learns english. The best part is it recognizes your vioce ,but won`t wake up. Another thing is it has an off switch which makes it more accepted by parents unlike the last kind. Here is an example of the furbish language.

Some furbys are doo-loo (funny), some are wah-lah (wise),some are dah-boh-bay (scared) or even koh-koh doo-ay (more fun).
