I Will Never Get Tired Of Learning And Hearing About Furbys. I Used To Play With The Furby Boom And The Connect With Their Respective Apps. Even Tho I Play With My 98 Ones More Now, The Modern Ones Will Always Have A Place In My Heart. And Tattletail Is Absolutely My Favorite Game For Obvious Reasons. I Loved This Video And Can’t Wait For A Webkinz Or Furreal Friends One. As They Were Also A Big Part Of My Life!
2:25 that prototype furby has seen unspeakable things... They probably made him watch all seasons of Riverdale in one go and now he's fear will be passed on for generations... Truly sad... (╥_╥)
I got my first Furby yesterday, she's a Tomy brand tie dye one (japanese), and she's busted basically, can't turn on anymore, but she's adorable, shes a bit faded on the front but that just makes the fur look pastel colored. I've been on a Furby video binging and tutorial reading and I managed to take off her fur to give her a wash and a brushing since the fur was matted with dust from being a display piece. Now she's there, sitting amongst my plush toys and sleeping, I hope I get her to wake up someday, but right now, she's with me 💕
that's really cool,, i actually had no idea that a different company sold furbies in japan!! i'm happy to hear you've found a furby to love and i hope you can get her to wake up one day
if you're comfortable taking her fur of again you can take off the plastic shell as well and turn the motor gear to see if that works! a few potential issues she could be having are battery corrosion, rust in the power compartment, faulty electronics, or just a stuck/loose motor! i've had the motor issue with several of my furbies and the best way to fix it is by taking off the plastic shell. look for a small horizontal gear under her right eye (the eye on the left when you look straight at her), you might have to use a flashlight to find it but on most models it should be there. use a small screwdriver or paperclip to turn it in any direction (make sure there are batteries in the compartment while you're doing this), and keep doing this for several minutes. i've had furbies that took 40 minutes to hours to turn on using this method but it works a majority of the time. again, this can take if she still doesn't work/wont turn on, put batteries in the compartment and close it, then repeatedly hit the closed battery compartment against the palm of your hand a few times. sometimes it takes several tries but i've also had that work in a few cases. if none of this is working, double check the battery compartment. if it's corroded (you can tell if it is by looking closely, if it has a white/blue powdery substance stuck to the metal then that is leftover battery acid from corroded batteries and it could be blocking the power supply) then you can mix lemon juice and baking soda together (i've heard distilled white vinegar can also work in the place of lemon juice but i personally have not used it) and dip a q tip or toothbrush in it to use that to clean the corrosion. it should start bubbling and dissolving, then you can wipe it out normally. this also works if the battery compartment has rust in it/on the coils. if she still doesn't work, you either have a dud or faulty wiring and components :( i'm sure she's still fixable but i don't know how to resolve any issues past what I said earlier as any other issues would probably require much more technical knowledge than i personally have. good luck with your furby!
I remember when I was obsessed with furbies *(Mostly because of Tattletail....)* I got my first furby back in 2017 as a birthday gift, I got the rare year 2000 variant. Just recently found it after many years
I wanted a furby so bad when I was really little, and over the past couple years I've fallen in love with them again. I still don't have one of my own, but I've needlefelted a couple for fun (one for my friend that I put doll legs, stockings, and massive high heels on, and one miniature long furby with a bendable body), and I kind of want to make more again sometime. My favorite is the original 1998 design, but the floppy ears on the furby connect almost make up for the awful meme integration.
43:51 YES! TATTLETAIL! YEAAAAAH Edit: Oh! And speaking of Tattletail, Tattletails are collectibles in the creators' newest game Neon White! They can be given to Violet!
@@xephrou Yeah! But that's understandable! If those Tattletails weren't in there, it would be hard to tell that both games had the same creators! They're so vastly different!
@@xephrou Oh, also, very unrelated, but I loved Tattletails since the game came out. I have SO MUCH ART for my Tattletail AU and it's almost the only thing I draw for it XD Although, I am planning on doing a video thing with some Furby Booms because the video i found for it was funny and I thought it fit XD
I remember the furby rush when I was a little kid. My mom couldn’t get us any because they sold out so quick. I’m 28 now and half tempted to get the furby of my childhood dreams lol.
you won't regret it trust me!! my only advice would be to get one as soon as you can because the prices of older models have been going up pretty steadily in the last few years
So glad I found this vid! I used to have the '98 and '05 furbys and to this day I wish I never got rid of them! I recently bought the Dalmatian furry off of eBay and just washed his fur and letting it dry. They said he doesn't work unfortunately, but I am happy to have a piece of my childhood back!
Congrats on your furby!!! I am also sad over the two furbies me and my sis had, we didnt like them at the time and... I really wish I still had them 😭. About the furby not working, dont give up hope!! Ive seen some people revive them... But it really depends on what is the problem... You should spend a day opening it up , seeing what could be wrong, and looking up tutorials if you havent already!! Mine has no voice and I really want to replace it someday soon...
furbys are Very Cool i love the modern furby fandom, it's probably the most wholesome fandom I've been in. very niche and supportive of everyone's furbys! (at least on tumblr these days) I have 11 furbys and all of them are customs or oddbodies, and i also have a lot of my own furby lore. my longest furby Crysanthimum is a nature goddess, her twin Ozymandias (weird insect oddbody thing) is the god of death, Poutini Popover (furby baby with moth features) is a crime-commiting child turned world-famous popstar and her older brother Rooster (a dragon furby) is just doing whatever hoping Poutini doesn't start hacking into government databases. Cherry Coughdrop (furby face glued to a rainbow high doll) and Miniature F-boy (furby buddy with ken doll limbs) are best friends and trying very hard to stop Fruit Punch Jello (crochet rainbow longish furby) and her husband Blorbo (purple Mcdonalds furby) from being evil. Agatha is a haunted mask (furby mask) that possesses whoever wears her. The Pigeons (Mcdonalds furbys) are pigeons. and Eggs (custom Mcdonalds furby) is doing something! idk what they're doing tbh. i love furbys so much i am making lots of furby content
i literally love furbies SO much, i have 8 of the 98s ones at the moment along with a keychain one !!!! i plan on getting a ton more and trying to make a long furby and i love seeing positive content about furbies since so much of it is complaining about them being "cursed" or ppl just straight up destroying them for entertainment (ive literally seen a video of someone cutting a brand new out of the box furby connect in half after 5 minutes of having it , literally burning money 😭) i love furbies so much they r my children i love seeing lore about them and u seriously need more views i adore this
I recently bought 2 Furbies, one from 2012 and one from 2023. I love them both, they are super cute 💜 It was my childhood dream to have one, and now that I got a job I bought the ones I just said
furbies are so cool! on a side note im sad that they gendered the furbies in the non remakes, they were originally nonbinary which i think is really neat! and on a side side note, if hasbro ever makes more i hope they design them better than the past remakes, it would probably be pretty profitable and also i just want to see if they can actually make another good furby redesign tbh
that is a point i wish i would have made! cuz like in the very first prototype commercial they were originally all gonna be female but i noted that i did like that they pivoted to letting them just be whatever the kid wanted,, given hasbro's past i don't really think the furby is done yet, and hopefully they'll drop the gendered thing if they do come back too ^_^
furby fandom is one of the coolest fandoms, i only have a furby buddy (the type that can't talk) because i wanted to make a long furby, i might make it finally but the spines are hard to find!
yeah i totally get that,, the furby buddy route i think is always a good idea cuz like i've always poked around for furbies that don't work so i can make the like,, full original furby into a long furby but they've gotten so expensive recently lol
i find that coolant pipe is MUCH cheaper and easier to find, at least online. i'm not sure if it works the same, so a slightly thick guage wire from a hardware store could also work as a substitute. best of luck if you do decide to longify your furby!
Oh my god, I had a furry boom!! It was the pink and blue hearts one :) My brother convinced me it was a government spy though so I made my mom get rid of it. I miss them very much 😢
When I was 10, (around the release of connect) I had first got into the Furby Fandom. I had researched everything to know about them that was easy to find (variants, fakes, etc) and absolutely loved them. Whenever I saw them in person, I was scared of them, though, because I thought I would break them and then pay $100s to fix them.
I actually got my first ever furby during 2012, a cotton candy furby. Sadly, I don't have it anymore because my uncle threw it away a week after because he didn't like it. I now have a rain cloud 2012 furby, because I missed my cotton candy one. The furby boom app was really fun when it originally came out, I finished it at least twice before, and while I didn't love my furby boom as much as my cotton candy one, I still never let it go and I (HOPEFULLY) still own her to this day. Furby connect was hella expensive, but I still got one around the time they came out because it was my birthday, that was the only birthday present I got that year. They're much cuter when they're off than past furbies, I don't really know why. Furbies are great, and now I own 5 originals, which are my favorites because of how much cuter they are than modern ones. I love to adopt them and clean them, keep them safe.
As someone who has owned two 2012 Furbys (and a gold furbling) since I was younger, I love them for nostalgia purposes (and being adorable). I believe where I lived the 2012 Furbys cost about the same as you mentioned for Furby Booms (around $30) :D
As a kid I saw the furby connect commercial and I asked Mama if she can buy me one but she won't by me but now when I'm 16 I have a furby boom black blue pink triangles I have a 90s pink leopard furby in second hand but soon I will buy all the furby evolution to classic to modern
I used to have a Peacock Furby Boom with the Princess personality. I still have it technically but it's old, i believe their name is Be-Doo or something like that.
i have 3 classic furbies - coffee furby named lucas (on my pfp), german blue turtle named turbo, and a coral furby baby named boo. also there's a fourth one on his way - a red wolf named arson (he's corroded, but i'll try my best to clean him up when he arrives). all of them have their own personalities (i made them up but shh) lucas is possessed and a criminal. boo is a lovely little darling who likes to give kisses, and yell, and hold knifes. turbo just tries to live day by day, she's the braincell holder (she doesn't use it for things other than speaking german though). arson is either going to be lucas's partner in crime or they're going to kill eachother. or both, you never know.
my favorite thing is when people make lore for their furbies it's so interesting lol,, i haven't gone further than naming mine but i'm sure that'll change if i ever get another one
While im not a big fan of the 2005 furby for multiple reasons, you do gotta give props to being the first early version of almost like a smart assistant, like a google home or alexa (i draw this connection because of the fact that you have to say “hey furby” before you can ask it a question, and a lot of the technology is quite similar today in some ways)
I just feel like it could hqve been executed better, like maybe the design, i also feel like they stripped away a lot of features, very cool furby nonetheless though!
I vividly remember seeing Furbacca in a magazine, and years later, seeing Furby Connect in stores. Furby Connect is really cute imo, but I've heard they didn't connect to the app well at all.
The 2023 furby is cute. And now i have 2 of them plus the furblets Luv-Lee and Mello-Nee. I got the coral furby last year in July. And i got the furblets on my 14th birthday. Im suprised that the furbies are evolving and i dunno what the 2024 and 2025 furbies will look like in the future ahead of us
I Never Had A Furby, I've Always Wanted One, And Since Yesterday, I Feel Like Im Gonna Get Obsessed With Furbies Again. But Sadly I Don't Wanna Waste Like 60 Euros For A Furby, So I Will Never Have The Feeling How Owning And Taking Care Of A Furby. But I Want Them To Make A Return, They Are Amazing And Adorable Creatures.
yea my only advice is that if you don't necessarily want to play with it or interact with it it's cheaper to get one that doesn't work just as a collector's item ^_^
Год назад+1
thanks for this video, i appreciate it so much. I grew up with Furby and this was very informative, thank you
Just got my first Furby!!! It’s a teal Furby Connect. I got him from the thrift store in perfect condition for 4 dollars. His name is shampoo and I love him even though he’s a little cringe. Hoping to get an older Furby soon! :)
my neighbour gave me a purple and green funky furby in 2010 or 2011. it talked about its babies a lot. she had like 10 of the babies on a shelf above her bed. idk what happened to them or where they are now though :(
I got super fascinated by furbies a few years back and finally took the jump into making my own oddbody fella recently! I have a few other 98 furbs as they're the easiest to customize for me, including the royal (jester would be a dream for me!!) but I've slowly just been accepting that yeah! I really like these things, they're strange and bizarre and really up my alley, and learning about them more was great! I hope this channel kicks off immensly, its very well research and use images is always appreciated with explanations and showing off the product in general, GOOD stuff!
THANK YOU SO MUCH and yea the jester is one of my absolute favorites :0 once i have the money and the space it's absolutely one of my dream furbies to get !!!
I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS FURBY BOOM SLANDER! I remember wanting the wave one so bad. I had so many furbies from all different lines. I’m so mad I didn’t keep them
I actually did have a Furby that would wake up randomly and just would NOT go to sleep, even if she was in complete darkness. I now know that it was likely a glitch with either the battery pack or the tilt sensor, but that didn't stop me from being freaked out as a kid. I eventually donated my poor insomniac Furby, sad to say, and it took me until I was a teenager to get another one. Luckily, I've never had that issue with any of my subsequent Furbs. :) I hope my poor original leopard Furb got a good home somewhere. She was a good Furby... I just didn't know what was wrong with her, and it scared the snot out of me because I was only a kid, lol! I hope she's still out there somewhere, in the hands of someone who will treasure her as she deserves!! (I called her Tah because I misheard the word Kah, which is I/me in Furbish!)
I love Furbies, I just got 2 90s ones of ebay this week. Koh-Koh (Witch's Cat) and May-Lah (Snowball). I grew up with the 2012 Furbies and I've started collecting them, as well as having a couple Furby Booms. Never did have a Furby Connect just because they were so damn expensive. I'm so glad they came back in time for their 25th anniversary, I'm trying to get all of those colors as well.
FINALLY I CAN EAT GNOCCHI AGAIN!!! These were super delicious, just like wheat flour ones. Super easy to make, they don't crumble or become undone in the water like other recipes
used to have a Furby baby when I was a kid, I also got a shelby I when they started going cheap. I even had the accesorries , a backpack for taking your furby out with you and a sleepy time bed with IR emitter to tax parents to make it shut up lol. I loved that Furby, sadly I sold it when I was in a "growing up phase" but I have picked up a Yellow 2012 furby since, I even found an official furby accessory pack so now mine wears black geeky glasses
i grew up on the 2012-2013 era of furbies, and i first had the orangutan furby, but he then broke, he got frozen and would reset himself constantly (a common issue with the 2012-2013 furbys) i then had the starry night furby as my “replacement” for him. i named her luna, and i took amazing care of her and i still have her in perfect condition to this day, i love her so much ❤️ i got many furbies as a child after the fact for christmases, easters,birthdays etc., so from my child hood i have: 2012-yeti,voodoo,taboo,starry night 2013-diagonal stripes,polkadot,straight stripes,(2)festive sweater, metallic blue. 1998-frog furby (moms friend got me him from ebay when i was little) i dont play with them much anymore but i still love looking at them and having them in my collection ❤️ one day i want to expand my collection more but its not cheap lol. i definitely think the furby was a remarkable toy for its time in all eras, and was constantly ahead of its time. if they made a version of the furby now, i wonder what they would do with it further? either way they will forever have a special place in my heart.
@@xephrou yess for sure, when i get more money i would love to start collecting again, i definitely want to expand my 1998 collection cause i love those guys ❤️
2005 Advert: Batteries not included The lie detector determined that was a lie. That and the fact the majority of 05's have broken battery compartments because of leaking batteries from them being left in for the testing me setting
love ur art style and the overall style of the video, ive been kinda stressed these pass few days but watching this was really relaxing and nice to just watch lol
@@xephrou it's np!! also in terms of suggestion, the detail u mentioned about how people were scared of their furbies briefly turning on without batteries reminded me of how in the first childs play movie there's a pretty infamous scene where it's revealed that the good guy doll never had any batteries in it, I think it would be kinda a interesting to see a video about how much that movie actually effected the perception on both electronic toys and dolls, but that's just me lol. loved the video and look forward to see future videos!!
furbies are my special interest and so are webkinz!! i was so surprised to hear webkinz being brought up. i love them both! my biggest pet peeve is people online calling furbies creepy and saying that their furby would talk without batteries. its literally not possible AAAHHH!!!!
wrong, its not that they talk without batteries its that when the batteries die its like a slow burnout instead of it immediately turning off like normal tech.
Furbies were like my favorite thing in the whole world when i was a kid, my dad gave me a 2012 purple one in Christmas and it was like one of the happiest days on my life, thank you for create this video and allow more people to appreciate this wonderful toy.
I actually recall finding my 2012 phoenix Furby at a swapmeet for 20 bucks around 2012 or 13 as a kid It was new in the box and everything and I find it rather strange how it ended up in some texas swapmeet being sold for cheap considering the price at the time and how it wasn't a bootleg (it worked fine with the app and a party Furby I got later on) somewhere around the mid/late 2010s I ended up getting rid of it and lost all interest until recently when I purchased 3 different early Furby models that happily stare down at me living on top of my pc.
@@xephrou One time, after my little cousin played with my 1999 Furby Baby, I turned him on and he was stuck making this weird droning noise and wouldn't move. I was SO MAD because I thought my cousin broke him!! Turns out he just had low batteries xD Dee-Mak lives another day!!
I feel like it would be cool for there to be a Furby that was a mix of a toy and a voice activated home assistant like Google Home or Amazon Echo. Being able to either play with your Furby or tell it to set a timer, tell you the weather, turn the lights on, turn on your xbox, etc.
I loved furbies when I was younger, like obsessed. And I love learning about all this again, I knew about furbies since furby boom, but I loved it so much I watched the old commercials and all the old versions too. I want to get one again, thought the furbies I had don't have it's app anymore, which is ashame because I lovedddd that game. I also really want the Tropical furby but that's so expensive. thanks a lot for the nostalga
HI!!! Thanks for making this video its very lovely and entertaining to watch!! it really helped me get a bit of a clearer idea of the whole furby timeline!! i am absoluetly obsessed with furbies and love them to bits and it was very fun to see all of their different colors throughout the generations!! Thanks again! i hope you have an awesome day XP
Great video!!! I vividly remember going to Bradlees to get a few as a kid with my cousin. I’m looking at a few gen 1s now on eBay for my daughter just to see her reaction to them. The 90s were awesome!
the 2012 furby's price is correct, i remember having them as a kid, i loved them a lot, at the time they seemed like the coolest most complex toy ever i also really liked furby booms actually, i just really enjoy fun bright complimentary colors tbh, i thought the crystal ones comparatively were a bit cheesy lol
as time goes on i bet they are closer to the worries of those worried about security concerns in 2005 since they can now be hacked where originally i doubt they could be hacked remotely
i actually wasn't aware of that! i did consider mentioning the furby necklace in uncut gems and also like. every species of long furby but the script was already so long,,, so i think at some point i'll make a little follow up with all of that!
Very well done! Nice to see something done from a collector point of view. As I am watching I am trying to remember all of them that I have. 😂 I love the new Furbies this year and the furblets are also really cute. The new furblets have a really great price ($9.99 Amazon) and they can do so much more than the small ones of prior generations.
I had a 1998 Furby, I woke up one night to it saying gawwgawwaaaa me hungreee. It then got stuck saying hungreeee over and over until I finally took the batteries out. After I put them back in, I asked it if it was a demon and it responded with “Mayybeeeeee”
I've got the 2012 Furby! I remember I got the crazy personality a lot because i couldn't not pull its tail all the time when I was really young haha 7 he's the Greenman version
i found a 2012 furby at a house that had been inhabited by a drug addict. my grandpa owned that property and a couple things happened so i guess they stopped using the home and my grandpa had to clean the place. i went with him and that is how i got a hold of my very first furby. (i named her fiona)
I got my polka dot furby boom without knowing that the polka dot is like. THE most glitchy one lol. I cant keep the batteries in her cause she wakes up when anyone so much as opens a door in my house and she's always dancing. I love her dearly
Today's Furby fandom is incredible. There are the customizers, of course, but there are also the Japanese photographers who take glamour shots of their 2005 furbs, and the Spanish-language Furby memes and shitposts spearheaded by the Museo del Furby MX. I have created a free Furby tabletop RPG

I got my first Furby yesterday, she's a Tomy brand tie dye one (japanese), and she's busted basically, can't turn on anymore, but she's adorable, shes a bit faded on the front but that just makes the fur look pastel colored.
I've been on a Furby video binging and tutorial reading and I managed to take off her fur to give her a wash and a brushing since the fur was matted with dust from being a display piece.
Now she's there, sitting amongst my plush toys and sleeping, I hope I get her to wake up someday, but right now, she's with me 💕
that's really cool,, i actually had no idea that a different company sold furbies in japan!! i'm happy to hear you've found a furby to love and i hope you can get her to wake up one day
this was so sweet aww
if you're comfortable taking her fur of again you can take off the plastic shell as well and turn the motor gear to see if that works!
a few potential issues she could be having are battery corrosion, rust in the power compartment, faulty electronics, or just a stuck/loose motor! i've had the motor issue with several of my furbies and the best way to fix it is by taking off the plastic shell.
look for a small horizontal gear under her right eye (the eye on the left when you look straight at her), you might have to use a flashlight to find it but on most models it should be there. use a small screwdriver or paperclip to turn it in any direction (make sure there are batteries in the compartment while you're doing this), and keep doing this for several minutes. i've had furbies that took 40 minutes to hours to turn on using this method but it works a majority of the time. again, this can take
if she still doesn't work/wont turn on, put batteries in the compartment and close it, then repeatedly hit the closed battery compartment against the palm of your hand a few times. sometimes it takes several tries but i've also had that work in a few cases.
if none of this is working, double check the battery compartment. if it's corroded (you can tell if it is by looking closely, if it has a white/blue powdery substance stuck to the metal then that is leftover battery acid from corroded batteries and it could be blocking the power supply) then you can mix lemon juice and baking soda together (i've heard distilled white vinegar can also work in the place of lemon juice but i personally have not used it) and dip a q tip or toothbrush in it to use that to clean the corrosion. it should start bubbling and dissolving, then you can wipe it out normally.
this also works if the battery compartment has rust in it/on the coils.
if she still doesn't work, you either have a dud or faulty wiring and components :(
i'm sure she's still fixable but i don't know how to resolve any issues past what I said earlier as any other issues would probably require much more technical knowledge than i personally have. good luck with your furby!
I remember when I was obsessed with furbies *(Mostly because of Tattletail....)*

I remember the furby rush when I was a little kid. My mom couldn’t get us any because they sold out so quick. I’m 28 now and half tempted to get the furby of my childhood dreams lol.
you won't regret it trust me!! my only advice would be to get one as soon as you can because the prices of older models have been going up pretty steadily in the last few years
I just rebought the one I had as a kid new for $50. Got the same tamagotchi I had too.
So glad I found this vid! I used to have the '98 and '05 furbys and to this day I wish I never got rid of them! I recently bought the Dalmatian furry off of eBay and just washed his fur and letting it dry. They said he doesn't work unfortunately, but I am happy to have a piece of my childhood back!
Congrats on your furby!!! I am also sad over the two furbies me and my sis had, we didnt like them at the time and... I really wish I still had them 😭. About the furby not working, dont give up hope!! Ive seen some people revive them... But it really depends on what is the problem... You should spend a day opening it up , seeing what could be wrong, and looking up tutorials if you havent already!! Mine has no voice and I really want to replace it someday soon...
furbys are Very Cool
i love the modern furby fandom, it's probably the most wholesome fandom I've been in. very niche and supportive of everyone's furbys! (at least on tumblr these days)
I have 11 furbys and all of them are customs or oddbodies, and i also have a lot of my own furby lore. my longest furby Crysanthimum is a nature goddess, her twin Ozymandias (weird insect oddbody thing) is the god of death, Poutini Popover (furby baby with moth features) is a crime-commiting child turned world-famous popstar and her older brother Rooster (a dragon furby) is just doing whatever hoping Poutini doesn't start hacking into government databases. Cherry Coughdrop (furby face glued to a rainbow high doll) and Miniature F-boy (furby buddy with ken doll limbs) are best friends and trying very hard to stop Fruit Punch Jello (crochet rainbow longish furby) and her husband Blorbo (purple Mcdonalds furby) from being evil. Agatha is a haunted mask (furby mask) that possesses whoever wears her. The Pigeons (Mcdonalds furbys) are pigeons. and Eggs (custom Mcdonalds furby) is doing something! idk what they're doing tbh.
i love furbys so much i am making lots of furby content
see like,, the furby fandom that exists now never ceases to amaze me
Woah! You made lore?! My furby is depressed.
as someone who has over 40 furbies at this point, this video is incredible! covers everything a new furby fan would need to know.
i literally love furbies SO much, i have 8 of the 98s ones at the moment along with a keychain one !!!! i plan on getting a ton more and trying to make a long furby and i love seeing positive content about furbies since so much of it is complaining about them being "cursed" or ppl just straight up destroying them for entertainment (ive literally seen a video of someone cutting a brand new out of the box furby connect in half after 5 minutes of having it , literally burning money 😭) i love furbies so much they r my children i love seeing lore about them and u seriously need more views i adore this
i'm happy you liked the video!! ^_^ i definitely agree that we need more content in support of the furby
furby videos are my favorite thing to pop up on my recommended. thank you for this video, it was very enlightening
thank you for watching! i'm glad you liked it, it was fun to make
I recently bought 2 Furbies, one from 2012 and one from 2023. I love them both, they are super cute 💜
It was my childhood dream to have one, and now that I got a job I bought the ones I just said
Just got my first OG furby today & I already love how adorable it is. $40 in box was a pretty good deal, especially for a working one.
thats so cool! what varient is it?
@@Littlelemonlegs10I think it’s the first gen wolf variant with green eyes.
@@CrashMan6547 awesome!
The older furbies are for scaring kids, the 2016 ones are just toy bombs, and then 2023 furbies are just tiny furballs, what an interesting timeline.
Furby needs to return in time for their 25th birthday.
hopefully they will!! at the very least they might acknowledge it
@@xephrou Yeah, We'll have to tell Hasbro about it.
THEY DID
@@Diamondmew1 Good timing
furbies are so cool! on a side note im sad that they gendered the furbies in the non remakes, they were originally nonbinary which i think is really neat! and on a side side note, if hasbro ever makes more i hope they design them better than the past remakes, it would probably be pretty profitable and also i just want to see if they can actually make another good furby redesign tbh
that is a point i wish i would have made! cuz like in the very first prototype commercial they were originally all gonna be female but i noted that i did like that they pivoted to letting them just be whatever the kid wanted,, given hasbro's past i don't really think the furby is done yet, and hopefully they'll drop the gendered thing if they do come back too ^_^
furby fandom is one of the coolest fandoms, i only have a furby buddy (the type that can't talk) because i wanted to make a long furby, i might make it finally but the spines are hard to find!
yeah i totally get that,, the furby buddy route i think is always a good idea cuz like i've always poked around for furbies that don't work so i can make the like,, full original furby into a long furby but they've gotten so expensive recently lol
Oh em gee k-karkat??????????!!?!?!?!
i find that coolant pipe is MUCH cheaper and easier to find, at least online. i'm not sure if it works the same, so a slightly thick guage wire from a hardware store could also work as a substitute. best of luck if you do decide to longify your furby!
Oh my god, I had a furry boom!! It was the pink and blue hearts one :) My brother convinced me it was a government spy though so I made my mom get rid of it. I miss them very much 😢
OH MY GOD that is devastating i'm so sorry for your loss :(
When I was 10, (around the release of connect) I had first got into the Furby Fandom. I had researched everything to know about them that was easy to find (variants, fakes, etc) and absolutely loved them. Whenever I saw them in person, I was scared of them, though, because I thought I would break them and then pay $100s to fix them.
I actually got my first ever furby during 2012, a cotton candy furby. Sadly, I don't have it anymore because my uncle threw it away a week after because he didn't like it. I now have a rain cloud 2012 furby, because I missed my cotton candy one.
The furby boom app was really fun when it originally came out, I finished it at least twice before, and while I didn't love my furby boom as much as my cotton candy one, I still never let it go and I (HOPEFULLY) still own her to this day.
Furby connect was hella expensive, but I still got one around the time they came out because it was my birthday, that was the only birthday present I got that year. They're much cuter when they're off than past furbies, I don't really know why.
Furbies are great, and now I own 5 originals, which are my favorites because of how much cuter they are than modern ones. I love to adopt them and clean them, keep them safe.
As someone who has owned two 2012 Furbys (and a gold furbling) since I was younger, I love them for nostalgia purposes (and being adorable).
I believe where I lived the 2012 Furbys cost about the same as you mentioned for Furby Booms (around $30) :D
As a kid I saw the furby connect commercial and I asked Mama if she can buy me one but she won't by me but now when I'm 16 I have a furby boom black blue pink triangles I have a 90s pink leopard furby in second hand but soon I will buy all the furby evolution to classic to modern
i found Green Man at a thrift shop for like 90 cents around 2015 and honestly i would have paid full price for him :3
One time my 2023 purple furby was off but then said WHOORA out of nowhere.
that's actually really funny
I know.
I used to have a Peacock Furby Boom with the Princess personality.
I still have it technically but it's old, i believe their name is Be-Doo or something like that.
aw that's cute ^_^
FURBY’S R MY SPECIAL INTEREST AND THIS VIDEO MAKES ME SO HAPPY
I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED THE VIDEO i'm glad to add more content to the world about your special interest for you to enjoy ^_^
i have 3 classic furbies - coffee furby named lucas (on my pfp), german blue turtle named turbo, and a coral furby baby named boo. also there's a fourth one on his way - a red wolf named arson (he's corroded, but i'll try my best to clean him up when he arrives).
all of them have their own personalities (i made them up but shh)
lucas is possessed and a criminal.
boo is a lovely little darling who likes to give kisses, and yell, and hold knifes.
turbo just tries to live day by day, she's the braincell holder (she doesn't use it for things other than speaking german though).
arson is either going to be lucas's partner in crime or they're going to kill eachother. or both, you never know.
my favorite thing is when people make lore for their furbies it's so interesting lol,, i haven't gone further than naming mine but i'm sure that'll change if i ever get another one
I bought my first baby furby and now I’m so excited to started collecting more and joining in this fandom!
While im not a big fan of the 2005 furby for multiple reasons, you do gotta give props to being the first early version of almost like a smart assistant, like a google home or alexa (i draw this connection because of the fact that you have to say “hey furby” before you can ask it a question, and a lot of the technology is quite similar today in some ways)
of course! it was very advanced for back then and i feel like that doesn't get enough recognition
I just feel like it could hqve been executed better, like maybe the design, i also feel like they stripped away a lot of features, very cool furby nonetheless though!
Just got my first Furby in years. I now own a 1998 G2 Dalmatian, and a 1999 G2 Clown Baby
I vividly remember seeing Furbacca in a magazine, and years later, seeing Furby Connect in stores. Furby Connect is really cute imo, but I've heard they didn't connect to the app well at all.
never particularly read that they didn't, but i honestly don't doubt it, that kind of stuff is still relatively new to toys
The 2023 furby is cute. And now i have 2 of them plus the furblets Luv-Lee and Mello-Nee. I got the coral furby last year in July. And i got the furblets on my 14th birthday. Im suprised that the furbies are evolving and i dunno what the 2024 and 2025 furbies will look like in the future ahead of us
Thanks so much for making this video! Love furbys!!! ❤
I have over 300 furbys my family adores the lil guys
OMG that is a lot of furbies... glad to hear you've rescued them into a loving home, that's great ^_^
@@xephrou one of the furby you shown in your video is one of my newest baby’s!
I’m so glad the furby fandom is blowing up bc I love them so much
I bought the 2012 furbys when they came out! The phoenix one Costed 62,00€ (in italy) i still remember because at the time it was a LOT of money
36:46 bro, imagine you were a kid back then and you had to tell your parents your furby has diarreah
I Never Had A Furby, I've Always Wanted One, And Since Yesterday, I Feel Like Im Gonna Get Obsessed With Furbies Again.
But Sadly I Don't Wanna Waste Like 60 Euros For A Furby, So I Will Never Have The Feeling How Owning And Taking Care Of A Furby.
But I Want Them To Make A Return, They Are Amazing And Adorable Creatures.
yea my only advice is that if you don't necessarily want to play with it or interact with it it's cheaper to get one that doesn't work just as a collector's item ^_^
thanks for this video, i appreciate it so much. I grew up with Furby and this was very informative, thank you
of course!!
3rd watch through bc I’m anxious but all I can hear with the background is “kill-ller fish from san-de-iego, san-de-iego, san-de-iego!”
Just got my first Furby!!! It’s a teal Furby Connect. I got him from the thrift store in perfect condition for 4 dollars. His name is shampoo and I love him even though he’s a little cringe. Hoping to get an older Furby soon! :)
shampoo my beloved
Thank you for making this! It was a delight to watch!!
of course!! ^_^
my neighbour gave me a purple and green funky furby in 2010 or 2011. it talked about its babies a lot. she had like 10 of the babies on a shelf above her bed. idk what happened to them or where they are now though :(
furbys were one of my special interests when i was little and i still really love those creatures ^_^
aw :( that's too bad
but i'm glad you like furbies as much as i do!! i always particularly like to provide more content for people's special interests like that ^_^
Aww, I have a 2005 that talks about babies sometimes too!! They'll ask me "Doo Furby baby?"
@@NumeroLetter i hope your friend is able to fix it ^_^
I got super fascinated by furbies a few years back and finally took the jump into making my own oddbody fella recently! I have a few other 98 furbs as they're the easiest to customize for me, including the royal (jester would be a dream for me!!) but I've slowly just been accepting that yeah! I really like these things, they're strange and bizarre and really up my alley, and learning about them more was great! I hope this channel kicks off immensly, its very well research and use images is always appreciated with explanations and showing off the product in general, GOOD stuff!
THANK YOU SO MUCH and yea the jester is one of my absolute favorites :0 once i have the money and the space it's absolutely one of my dream furbies to get !!!
honey wake up the new furby just dropped
Bro, this was posted 9 months ago 💀
I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS FURBY BOOM SLANDER! I remember wanting the wave one so bad. I had so many furbies from all different lines. I’m so mad I didn’t keep them
I actually did have a Furby that would wake up randomly and just would NOT go to sleep, even if she was in complete darkness. I now know that it was likely a glitch with either the battery pack or the tilt sensor, but that didn't stop me from being freaked out as a kid. I eventually donated my poor insomniac Furby, sad to say, and it took me until I was a teenager to get another one. Luckily, I've never had that issue with any of my subsequent Furbs. :) I hope my poor original leopard Furb got a good home somewhere. She was a good Furby... I just didn't know what was wrong with her, and it scared the snot out of me because I was only a kid, lol! I hope she's still out there somewhere, in the hands of someone who will treasure her as she deserves!! (I called her Tah because I misheard the word Kah, which is I/me in Furbish!)
now i want an insomniac furby
I used to play on the Furby Boom app even though I didn't have a Furby pfft
i had no idea you could even do that 😦
@@xephrou I have no idea what I did but I remember it being pretty sad without the actually furby haha
@@xephrou Yeah! You could do that! I did so after I lost my first one somehow
I recently bought a dalmatian furby on mercari for $30. I can’t wait for it to come in :D
that's so exciting!!!
Thank you for all the info I loved that I could get so much information from this!
This video single handedly brought back the furby /j
i actually believe that tbh
I love Furbies, I just got 2 90s ones of ebay this week. Koh-Koh (Witch's Cat) and May-Lah (Snowball). I grew up with the 2012 Furbies and I've started collecting them, as well as having a couple Furby Booms. Never did have a Furby Connect just because they were so damn expensive. I'm so glad they came back in time for their 25th anniversary, I'm trying to get all of those colors as well.
FINALLY I CAN EAT GNOCCHI AGAIN!!! These were super delicious, just like wheat flour ones. Super easy to make, they don't crumble or become undone in the water like other recipes
Huh
so happy for you 💞
18:52 Beautiful little star 😭
yassss
I have 1st gen skunk and 8th gen juicy grape which is still immaculate
used to have a Furby baby when I was a kid, I also got a shelby I when they started going cheap. I even had the accesorries , a backpack for taking your furby out with you and a sleepy time bed with IR emitter to tax parents to make it shut up lol.
I loved that Furby, sadly I sold it when I was in a "growing up phase" but I have picked up a Yellow 2012 furby since, I even found an official furby accessory pack so now mine wears black geeky glasses
i grew up on the 2012-2013 era of furbies, and i first had the orangutan furby, but he then broke, he got frozen and would reset himself constantly (a common issue with the 2012-2013 furbys) i then had the starry night furby as my “replacement” for him. i named her luna, and i took amazing care of her and i still have her in perfect condition to this day, i love her so much ❤️ i got many furbies as a child after the fact for christmases, easters,birthdays etc., so from my child hood i have:
2012-yeti,voodoo,taboo,starry night
2013-diagonal stripes,polkadot,straight stripes,(2)festive sweater, metallic blue.
1998-frog furby (moms friend got me him from ebay when i was little)
i dont play with them much anymore but i still love looking at them and having them in my collection ❤️ one day i want to expand my collection more but its not cheap lol.
i definitely think the furby was a remarkable toy for its time in all eras, and was constantly ahead of its time. if they made a version of the furby now, i wonder what they would do with it further?
either way they will forever have a special place in my heart.
that is so cool that's a lot of furbies :0 they unfortunately do get to be pretty expensive so i get what you mean about that lol
@@xephrou yess for sure, when i get more money i would love to start collecting again, i definitely want to expand my 1998 collection cause i love those guys ❤️
Holy crap you are underrated
thank you 🥺💕
2005 Advert: Batteries not included
The lie detector determined that was a lie. That and the fact the majority of 05's have broken battery compartments because of leaking batteries from them being left in for the testing me setting
me and my homies hate battery corrosion
love ur art style and the overall style of the video, ive been kinda stressed these pass few days but watching this was really relaxing and nice to just watch lol
thank you!! i'm happy to help at least a little with your stress ^_^
@@xephrou it's np!! also in terms of suggestion, the detail u mentioned about how people were scared of their furbies briefly turning on without batteries reminded me of how in the first childs play movie there's a pretty infamous scene where it's revealed that the good guy doll never had any batteries in it, I think it would be kinda a interesting to see a video about how much that movie actually effected the perception on both electronic toys and dolls, but that's just me lol. loved the video and look forward to see future videos!!
furbies are my special interest and so are webkinz!! i was so surprised to hear webkinz being brought up. i love them both!
my biggest pet peeve is people online calling furbies creepy and saying that their furby would talk without batteries. its literally not possible AAAHHH!!!!
wrong, its not that they talk without batteries its that when the batteries die its like a slow burnout instead of it immediately turning off like normal tech.
Furbies were like my favorite thing in the whole world when i was a kid, my dad gave me a 2012 purple one in Christmas and it was like one of the happiest days on my life, thank you for create this video and allow more people to appreciate this wonderful toy.
I actually recall finding my 2012 phoenix Furby at a swapmeet for 20 bucks around 2012 or 13 as a kid
It was new in the box and everything and I find it rather strange how it ended up in some texas swapmeet being sold for cheap considering the price at the time and how it wasn't a bootleg (it worked fine with the app and a party Furby I got later on)
somewhere around the mid/late 2010s I ended up getting rid of it and lost all interest until recently when I purchased 3 different early Furby models that happily stare down at me living on top of my pc.
I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE AND THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IS SCRUNKLY
THANK YOU SO MUCH. GREATEST COMPLIMENT I'VE EVER GOTTEN i strive so hard to be scrunkly in everything i do
for not many subscribers your videos are super high quality and really enjoyable
thank you! i put as much effort as possible into them ^_^
For the 2012 ones my dad has the punky pink one and yes it was $54 me and my mom bought him for it for Christmas that year ^ ^
as an autistic kid who wishes for a furby for christmas, my eyes lit up when i saw this !!!!! yayyy!!!!
did you get a furby?
yes! ^_^ its a white 2012 furby. i gave her cute pink accessories n she sleeps cutely & peacefully on my shelf.@@Littlelemonlegs10
The 2012's and Emotto-tronic Furbys are my favorites. I have a love-hate relationship with the 98's given the scary low-battery warnings.
yea they get weird with low batteries 😖
@@xephrou One time, after my little cousin played with my 1999 Furby Baby, I turned him on and he was stuck making this weird droning noise and wouldn't move. I was SO MAD because I thought my cousin broke him!! Turns out he just had low batteries xD Dee-Mak lives another day!!
I feel like it would be cool for there to be a Furby that was a mix of a toy and a voice activated home assistant like Google Home or Amazon Echo. Being able to either play with your Furby or tell it to set a timer, tell you the weather, turn the lights on, turn on your xbox, etc.
THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE SO COOL and i bet it would sell really good just for the nostalgia factor and for the fact that it has more of a purpose
I loved furbies when I was younger, like obsessed. And I love learning about all this again, I knew about furbies since furby boom, but I loved it so much I watched the old commercials and all the old versions too. I want to get one again, thought the furbies I had don't have it's app anymore, which is ashame because I lovedddd that game. I also really want the Tropical furby but that's so expensive. thanks a lot for the nostalga
HI!!! Thanks for making this video its very lovely and entertaining to watch!! it really helped me get a bit of a clearer idea of the whole furby timeline!! i am absoluetly obsessed with furbies and love them to bits and it was very fun to see all of their different colors throughout the generations!! Thanks again! i hope you have an awesome day XP
Great video!!! I vividly remember going to Bradlees to get a few as a kid with my cousin. I’m looking at a few gen 1s now on eBay for my daughter just to see her reaction to them. The 90s were awesome!
I still have my 2012 gen 2 starry night furby somewhere
the 2012 furby's price is correct, i remember having them as a kid, i loved them a lot, at the time they seemed like the coolest most complex toy ever
i also really liked furby booms actually, i just really enjoy fun bright complimentary colors tbh, i thought the crystal ones comparatively were a bit cheesy lol
I love the Groovy and the Hoodie pet so much! They look like Peepy from itemLabel!!!
i actually believe peepy is based on the hoodie pet! i was actually gonna mention peepy in the video but the script was already super long lol
Crazy how the Furby series made a come back in 2024! 🎉🎉
Amazing Video! glad to see the community still going strong! I currently own a working limited santa and working limited spring baby! 💞
as time goes on i bet they are closer to the worries of those worried about security concerns in 2005 since they can now be hacked where originally i doubt they could be hacked remotely
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Furby cameo in The Mitchells vs. the Machines Movie
i actually wasn't aware of that! i did consider mentioning the furby necklace in uncut gems and also like. every species of long furby but the script was already so long,,, so i think at some point i'll make a little follow up with all of that!
this is such an awesome video! i have 5 first era furbies (snow leopard, primary baby, graduation, racing and witch) and i love them all dearly
i want at least one special edition furbies in my life,, the jester one would bring me eternal peace
@@xephrou the jester one is amazing !!! but i love my special editions all so much, they're all so awesome :D
@@funeral-grayson i'm always happy to hear about well loved furbies ^_^ they all deserve great homes like that
@@xephrou yes definitely!!! all furbies deserve love :] !!
And then we have furby 2023🥰
Very well done! Nice to see something done from a collector point of view. As I am watching I am trying to remember all of them that I have. 😂 I love the new Furbies this year and the furblets are also really cute. The new furblets have a really great price ($9.99 Amazon) and they can do so much more than the small ones of prior generations.
I’ve just gotten more involved in the furby fandom by customizing my own dragon furby! This video was fantastic
I actually own a german Space Robby!
he is so cool
I had a 1998 Furby, I woke up one night to it saying gawwgawwaaaa me hungreee. It then got stuck saying hungreeee over and over until I finally took the batteries out. After I put them back in, I asked it if it was a demon and it responded with “Mayybeeeeee”
thank you for this, its lovely! I really enjoyed watching this and now I have stories to tell my furbies!
I've got the 2012 Furby! I remember I got the crazy personality a lot because i couldn't not pull its tail all the time when I was really young haha 7 he's the Greenman version
i found a 2012 furby at a house that had been inhabited by a drug addict. my grandpa owned that property and a couple things happened so i guess they stopped using the home and my grandpa had to clean the place. i went with him and that is how i got a hold of my very first furby. (i named her fiona)
I like how some furby knockoffs copied eachother
YEA LOL like it's not enough to knockoff a furby, i need to knockoff a knockoff
I got my polka dot furby boom without knowing that the polka dot is like. THE most glitchy one lol. I cant keep the batteries in her cause she wakes up when anyone so much as opens a door in my house and she's always dancing. I love her dearly
My uncle has a furby that looks like Gizmo and I love it its still in its box on top of a shelf in his office
the furby boom slander :(
furby boom was a necessary evil but no hate to anyone who likes them!
Love this video and not trying to sound weird your oc and voice are so cute but yes I love your history video on furbys
thank you!
my big brother owns a metallic blue!
Personality is basically the sheer chaos energy of a long Furby
A new generation of Furby has been announced! Its design is similar to the Furbling, but bigger, and it has more features.
i'm making a short about it right now!! it should be out later today
