NEW FURBY IS NUTSO
0
Kind of old news, but now that it's actually out... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
It sounds absofuckingloutely insane. And I love it.
"Kids don't know much, but they do know when their central nervous systems get the playtime equivalent of a kegstand. The Furby is like an electronic frat party stuffed into a faux-fur chassis."
"Its hair is an unkempt, fluorescent tangle of wispy purple and pink—what you'd find clogging an cyborg prostitute's shower drain."

Also look at the promo video.
The thing is more crazy than its predecessors.

(apparently the purple furby is higher price, wtf?)
WHO ELSE WANTS ONE OF THESE CRAZY FUZZ BALLS!? (I will admit, though... sad that the eyes are LED; no more drunk-eyes Furby ;-; )

They still make Furbys?Yeah. Oddly enough they even made a "second gen" that had huge haunches and more pronounced ears.
They kinda flopped, though, relative to other toys that year.
But they didn't look nearly as scary, imo.

But... those toes. D:

I remember I used to draw all sorts of variations of Furbies in my sketchbook while I was at school.
Furby made of glue, horny Furby, Drunk Furby, slut Furby, prostitute Furby, Furby made of glass, Furby eating glass, dead Furby, Necrophilliac Furby, Furby that think it's a dog, dog that think it's a Furby, Shelby pretending to be a Furby, Vampire Furby, Werewolf Furby, Furby doing a drive-by.
Edit: I keep remembering the ones I drew D;

Oh lordy, SHELBY. That one was weird.
As was the one that gave birth to an egg/baby creature. It was all birthing sounds and "HEREEEE COMES BABY!!!!". o_o
Personally, I had a little Baby Furby, then later the Gizmo furby (of course!... but I think I gave it to charity. DAMMIT.) and the ET furby (still have... rules). Also one regular Furby but it was a bit wonky.
My rich friend gave us all Furbies (and Tamagotchis, once) as party favors. For real.
She also had a fucking TRUNK FULL OF FURBIES at home and over time their minds went to crap so we just played Furby therapists. It got weird.

I never had a Furby myself, but McDonalds did Shelby toys for a while which had little magnets on the front and matching two up would make them talk to each other.
They both died. I kinda... tortured them. One was melted with a magnifying glass and sunlight, the other was smashed to bits by a hammer
