Idea: Witches would be terrified by Furbies, they would think they are some sort of ancient predators that humans tamed. Gus, Amity, and Eda would be the only ones that would know that it's a robotic toy because Luz told them. King would refuse to refer to it as a toy, and would collect them to form an army.

Some individual characters’ thoughts on Furbies below the cut >:)

Eda, absolutely hyping up a Furby Luz gave her: And this folks is an ancient beast from the human realm! Humans had tamed it years ago and it has since evolved into a much smaller, less deadly size. They speak in their own language and their culture has only documented in ancient texts! *pulls out the official guide*

Hunter, handing Belos an Angel Furby: I confiscated this from the Owl Lady, I do believe you would enjoy this beast due to ancient prophets you spoke of from the human realm. Belos, actually concerned: … What the fuck is that, Hunter.

Amity, holding the one that Luz handed her: I don’t understand how you like these things, it looks like it’s ready to eat my soul. Also, I’m not sure if you know, but we do have demons that eat your soul, so it wouldn’t be far off from the truth.

King, with a Long Furby wrapped around him: I WILL COLLECT THESE MIGHTY BEASTS AND FORM AN ARMY WITH THEM!! You’re name will be Cupcake.

I think furby connects rely WAY too much on the “current” fads (late 2010s shit) and burp fart humor. If I were able to reprogram these guys and make them their own app I’d go in the OPPOSITE direction.

Kids need something that ISNT like online spaces now, I’ve been playing club penguin again recently via a remake and kids need silly games and mind challenging puzzles like this now (don’t laugh at the mind challenging part Thin Ice in the Arcade is impossibly hard).

I would take this in a COMPLETELY different direction essentially making an app FULL of mini-games, if you really need those in-app purchases maybe you have to pay to unlock some of them.

I think there’s some great potential in making TONS of different games. I came up with 3 basic types off the top of my head:

Branded - basically reskins of popular games. Like maybe there’s something like the disney tsum tsum mobile game where you have to match furbies of the same color, maybe a game like those classic Sunstorm games where you have to make food but it’s all weird furby food and then you get to feed it to your furby :O

Competitive - this is an idea I got from Anki’s Vector and Cosmo. The basic concept is you’re playing these games AGAINST your furby, something like tick tack toe or connect 4, the ai gets more challenging as you go.

Cooperative - the best way I can think to explain this is something like bop it, except your FURBY is the bop it, maybe when you get to harder levels it goes from basic commands like “press tongue” to more vague ones like “feed me” and then even goes into furbish. Really can’t think of anything else for this category i just think furby bop it is fun.

I feel like there’s SO many games that would be fun if they were furby branded. Maybe there could be a card collecting game ala card-jitsu with a bunch of weird furby scenarios on them. Maybe you can make an account and play multiplayer and there’s scoreboards and stuff :O

I think minigames like this would bring in people of all ages, something relaxing to do with your little furball after a long day sounds like something anyone could enjoy.

I LOVE the idea of personality variations but 2012s and booms did it so poorly. We need more than archetypes. What if there was something similar tomodachi life where there were sliders for different parts of them, so you could have a loud obnoxious furby if you wanted, or you could have a softspoken one it’s all up to you. If no sliders than have it set via hard resets like voices in 98s (also being able to choose their voices and not have them hard coded to their personality type would be so so cool) because accidentally pulling your booms tail too much and ending up with a loud annoying furby is I’m sure a quite unpleasant experience.

Overall my direction would be to make something that isn’t so loud and flashy, we don’t need more loud yell-y toys in the world. We need to go back to the source, 98s said simple phrases, had a couple minigames, and sung and they’ve stayed popular to this day because of it.

In order for a new furby to succeed it needs to be DIFFERENT from everything else out these days, and making something in your face that says terms that will be outdated in a year and a half is what EVRRYONE else is doing, and especially was doing when connects came out.

And for the love of GOD it’s 2022 give them volume controls and an on/off switch why is it so hard for them to give furbies features every other electronic has

﹡ ❝ come on. we need to decorate the house all christmas-y﹗ ❞ (from uncle obi-wan).

He pulled the sleeves of his color block sweatshirt over his hands.

"But Uncle Ben," said Ben the younger, "it’s way after Christmas. Tomorrow's New Year's Eve."

For Chanukah, he received an Animorphs Mega Figure 2-pack, a portable cassette player, Alien Eggs, a PlayStation II prototype, and a Furby, which terrified him, and, incidentally, had been secretly destroyed. Its furry purple carcass lay hidden under his bed.

Christmas tip-toed by the Organa household the same way dad tip-toed around Christmas, and there'd been no tree, no garlands, and no lights—not even the tiniest lights, not even for a mouse. His mother put the menorah away two days before. Now they were campaigning in "a terrible place called Gary, Indiana," and Uncle Ben was staying in one of the guest rooms, the best one, with the big window overlooking Central Park West.

Ben glanced around the room. He could see the sparse, grey hallway through the open door. The loneliness of it consumed him.

"We-ell," he said, feeling a little small. "Can we get Frosty the Snowman lights? Like the Frosty from the movies?"

He'd seen those very lights in a store nearby, but he hated to ask mom. Questions gave her stress headaches.

Being an adult is Bad because the bank will give you access to a credit card and then you will sped too much money on a Monster High doll because by the time that line came out I was too old for dolls and I thought they were the fucking coolest shit I've ever seen so yeah, I bought a god damn glorified barbie (even made by Matel) because it's cool as fuck looking and I always wanted those dolls as a kid.

Which leads to the best part of being an adult, being able to buy stupid toys that will be for display only and enjoying your dumb little toy the way any child would lol

NEW 2023 Furby prototype

hello furby friends, so perhaps the Biggest break in furby in almost that past 7 years which is WILD to think about, but a prototype for a new line of furbys leaked this morning on ebay at around 8am cst.

AGAIN this is wild, but is shows renwed interest from hasbro in the furby line. but first a general description,

So, bellow are the photos. 

The furby is an early run electroics prototype, these are can be very close to the final design, with the cosmetic proto being handed over for electronic prototyping.  the wires (as far as I can read) are as follows

Motor Ir encoder Microphone Left ear led Right ear led Back cap Front cap Sw & led Spear Mouth sw (switch) Neutral

So it apears they are going somewhat functionally similar to a 1998. this is also shown in the fact that they are using the og 1998 logo on the bottom. 

The board also reads 5-5-2022, so it is for sure recent. 

further into the cosmetics, it apears to be simialr to their fuzzalots brand. 

So it seems thats the direction that they are going in. which to me is... disapointing 

SO what adds to this story is the fact that Hasbro was alerted shortly after to the listing and were VERY interested. showing the first public interest directly in the furby brand in years. 

the ebay listing was the struck down less than an hour later

it was orginaly on auction for $50 then relisted, 

so overall. today has been a very interesting look into Hasbro playing around with a more modern furby... just observing the similarites to fuzzalots if this furby is released, it will retial for around 10-15$ which i think is a good price point, however I think that fans would prefer a more direct homage to 1998s, for those of you in the same boat as me, I think that the best we can hope for is hasbro having gone in a diffrenet direction, And with hasbro pushing their toy appearnce back, I suspect we will see an annoucment in mid september which would be just in time for the 25th aniversery. I will try my best to attend the toyfair in person or online and I will keep you guys updated.

special thanks to Furbccord for being a great place to bounce ideas around! and special thanks to FranistheMan and fubby on discord

and with that, peace and love furby community
