If you’re old enough to remember 1998, then you’ll remember the toy that took everyone by storm: Furby.
Original Furby
The adorable little gremlin-like creature would start out talking only in its native tongue, Furbish, until you “taught” it English and it could also communicate with other Furbys! This little domestic robot was wildly popular mostly because it was the first toy that “learned” from its owners.
Now, Hasbro has released a new and improved version of the little imp with LCD screens for eyes and more motors and sensors in its body making it more life-like. It also comes with its own smartphone and tablet app which will translate Furby’s native tongue to English!
The best thing is that no two Furbys will be alike! The Furby is programmed to develop and “grow” depending on how you interact with it and play with it!
Even fourteen years later, we expect Furby to still be one of the must-have toys of the year! What do you think of the new and improved Furbys? Let us know by leaving a comment or tweeting us at TheMagazineHQ!
