They cheaped out. No mechanics in the mouth, no LED display in the eyes. It's great they added an off button. It seems more directly interactive. All the previous editions, you'd talk to it, and it would still do whatever it was going to do. The Fijit Friends were the best at being directly interactive. You talked to it, it answered and did what you said.
Yes a BIG BIG BIG BIG con, I'm planning to get a Boom/2012 Furby cuz if the beak doesn't move, Then isn't interesting for my opnion. (I also dreamed that i was getting an 2012 and a Boom and when i woke up i tought ''Why it's always in the dream and never in real life''
This time Furby comes with no app and no Bluetooth (like the past 2012 and Connect). I think it's good because it's a Furby. From what I've seen in other reviews the real con is that the conversation with other furbies is very short. Connect was really active and impressive with other furbies and so the 2012/Booms models. Yep, furby can speak other languages (french, german, italian for example, it will be released in Europe on August 1st). I'll get my purple 2023 this Wednesday ❤😊
Lots of good info! I really wish they had a way to change the language though no matter what country you're in, but at a price point of around $60, I can't complain too much, haha. I'll have to test out the Connect next. Thanks for watching and enjoy your new Furby when it comes in! 😀
@@EricJKuhns Connect it's a very good Furby, sadly it was a flop back in 2016 (but the success of 2012 and Boom was huge). The communication between two furbies it's very natural and fun.
I have an original Furby from 1998, It's one with Griaffe like Fur, and it still turns on and functions despite it being 25 years old. Of course it has it's pros and cons as well. However, some of the cons with mine may be because of the Furby aging. However it is in very shape and works flawlessly, I would say about 98% of the time.
No, you do not want it to stay quiet until prompted. That was the 2005 version. The limited commands combined with the realistic eyes made it seem like it was sad all the time.
I am genuinely curious about how these things are programmed and created, because if there is no ai then how do they develop unique personalities and learn over time🤔
Playing with it more, I believe they’re programmed to reveal new things over time rather than authentic learning like you’d get from say Emo the robot or Loona the robot. Mine would reveal a few new things over time but after a couple weeks of playing with it, nothing new came up. It’s still interactive but the “learning” part is definitely not comparable to AI.
Hahahahaha! I'm delighted! As soon as they're available here, I'm getting one. I had almost given up on any new furbies being made, so this is a nice surprise. He has the same voice artist, Gavin Hamon.
@@EricJKuhns Oh definitely! I pre-ordered. Purple was the only one available for me on Amazon, and I ordered him as soon as I was done watching a few Furby vids including this one. I Because purple is a colour associated with royalty, my Furby's name will be King. Furby 1998 the original was voiced by Tony Pope. Furby baby 1999 was voiced by Mary Kay Bergman. Patricia Thomson was the voice for Furby 2005, Gavin Hamon for 2012 and up, but I'm not sure if he was the voice for the furblings. He did the male Furby party rockers, but I don't know who did the two female ones. I think he did the male "personalities" in Furby Boom, but if he also did the girl "personalities" there, all I can say is his voice is unbelievably versatile.
I wished this fur by would connect to the internet and be able to be updated :( the pros of that would be letting you customize it using an app of what it says and does that would be cool.
It’s good that way as servers do end and when they do it reduced the play value of it as with the connect, most of it’s interactions were though the app. This way, play value will depend mainly on the amount of care one takes (where you store it etc…)
Thanks for this review! I’m looking to get my daughter one because it’s on her list this year. So this was helpful for what I’ll be needing to deal with lol
It’s great that it rocks back & forth AND side to side. However, it’s needs the mouth that opens & closes like the old school Furby. It’s not as dynamic, advanced or fun with a stationary mouth that’s just stuck open all the time and doesn’t move. It could be SO much better with a moving mouth !
great review also, in the video, you said it would be interesting if they could connect to Wi-Fi. They kinda did that in the Furby connect but the games are kinda bad so
I actually don't mind the beak doesn't move. I know that would be a lot of mechanical work and, personally, i forget it doesn't move with how it moves around in general. I personally don't have the cash (for now) to get one, but was able to get a Furblet and it's just as cute with less mobility. It's kind of wild to see them return and be cutier than before.
Pros and Cons Pros Cons Beak doesnt move Doesnt have lcd eyes Speaks furbish but doesnt understand it Excellent speaker quality Interacts with furblets Super cute
i’m not buying it because the beak doesn’t move ): they should make a furby with intelligent ai, lithium iron to be charged like dinozoomer and other robotic toys, and have it have wheels so it looks like it’s charging at you on its own. i’m smart fr.
>con that it uses batteries No no no... This is a plus! It means that there isnt a ticking timbomb lithium ion battery stuck in it! It means when your kid js nostalgic in 10 years you can just slap batteries in it! Non-user servicable batteries in consumer electronics are trash!
Many furbies were programmed to unlock new words as it’s played with so I’m guessing it’s not so much learning as much as it is “The furby could say those words but won’t until it is played with enough.”
the problem with charged options is the battery still dies in the long run you just have to go inside it and desolder and replace it if you want it to keep working after that point. ill take removable batteries any day. theyre still rechargable theyre just also easily removable and you wont have to worry about blowing up your apartment working with a lithium ion battery.
@@GothGirlWorld 🤞 Hopefully we both get it in the sales…..not worth £59.99 for what it is/does imo, worse comes to worse she is getting a Ferby hooded blanket from Oodie that’s usually £100 but I got it for £34 in the sale….always have a back up incase the actual Ferby doesn’t go on sale 😂
Currently I would say Either Loona or Rux. Loona sometimes doesn’t listen though and I feel like Rux will over-explain since he’s directly connected to ChatGPT when he converses. I wish I could say Emo, but Emo always has issues with communication and still drops out of ChatGPT after each question if you don’t respond quickly enough. I’m still waiting to test out a robot that absolutely blows me away in conversation. Hopefully I’ll find one soon as I have a few on their way to me now for future vids! (Also thanks for watching!!)
Why are we still using batteries? We have USB technology for charging. This is honestly just my opinion, but I think it would be better than constantly spending money on batteries that will die.
I remember Furby Boom, these are sooo much better, they speak are language, they look a thousand times cuter than the other ones I mean they look like fury Furby fluff balls, their great!
My guy! If you had placed your thumb on top of the sensor between the eyes for 20 seconds on the 90s furby, it would go to sleep, ie turn it off without ripping out the batteries.
Oh man! I don’t think any of my friends knew about this, haha. I never actually owned one, but I remember everyone complaining about it. Now I need to build a time machine and go back in time to let all of my friends know! 🤣
Neither of those worked for my Furby. I used to put the thumb on top of the sensor and it keep talking, I leave it in my room with the lights off and it keep talking. I'm getting this Furby because NOW you can actually really turn it off and play with it when you want xD. Believe me, I tried it all, I end up giving it away.

@carlcube8573 it was also over 3x the price..
Didn't know I needed "cool skater dude earnestly reviews a Furby" content! I could watch you being good hearted about stuff all day.
This is the best comment I’ve read all day. Thank you for watching and for the kind words!! 🥹🙏
I feel like the BIGGEST con is that furby’s beak doesn’t move 😭
That and the fact it doesn’t connect to an app to be able to be updated with new stuff or to customize it
That requires a software update 😂
Yes a BIG BIG BIG BIG con, I'm planning to get a Boom/2012 Furby cuz if the beak doesn't move, Then isn't interesting for my opnion. (I also dreamed that i was getting an 2012 and a Boom and when i woke up i tought ''Why it's always in the dream and never in real life''
Also the 2012 has the interactive eyes which is also a very cool feature lacking with this one.
These things should now have AI, be able to say your name and do more, especially for the money.
The " Ooh La la la la everybody loves you Furby" song sounds like Cartman from Southpark is singing it. Once you hear it you can't un-hear it.
LOL
Noo-lah la la la
😂😂😂😂
You can ask Furby for a fun fact too.
Sadly its beak doesn’t move when talking.
Yeah, I was disappointed in the beak not moving, but it's pretty awesome otherwise! 😃

And as a mid-30's man, I'm loving mine, haha. Thanks for watching!

32 year old and I bought mine now I need the coral one
This will never replace or meet up to the 90s furby!

aww
Sounds as if it not as technologically advanceed to the one in the early 2000's, where for example you could converse with it.
Let alone the 2010s which had expressive LED eyes and interactive apps.
I am genuinely curious about how these things are programmed and created, because if there is no ai then how do they develop unique personalities and learn over time🤔

Also, the eyes are not lcd anymore, furby connect had really expresive eyes and well this one is just a sticker... Its a donwgrade for me
HES SO CUTE WAHH,, i loved the new Furby-
I need like 200 of these so I can make a Furby army...Muahaha😂🥰
i have two 90's furbys,you have to hold the....camera to turn them of
Hahahahaha!

In 2015 or something version was connecting with phones 🤔 and they were able to kind of connect to each other! It’s weird they removed that 😬
Because it's not safe for privacy reasons
Atleast they did, it didn’t seem safe at first so why would they have it in the new model
It’s good that way as servers do end and when they do it reduced the play value of it as with the connect, most of it’s interactions were though the app. This way, play value will depend mainly on the amount of care one takes (where you store it etc…)
Matt Rose is gonna have a field trip with this one
Thanks for this review! I’m looking to get my daughter one because it’s on her list this year. So this was helpful for what I’ll be needing to deal with lol
I love Furby, it’s so cuuuttteeee 💜 💖 👽
Let talk Furbish together 🤩
I'm an expert in speaking furbish four days experience ISK igi toi Yu( don't feed me)
As a kid who always wanted a furby but never got one untill now i love them
Im eight and i want a furby so fricking bad
The early 2000s version with the lcd eyes was so much better
Tbh hasbro got lazy asf when making this reboot version💀💀
Im 30 and I need one now.
6:06 Furby's still possesed, even in 2023
I feel like Furby Connect was peak Furby, but it was too expensive and as such, failed. If they kept it going I feel like it would be much better.
I got a Furby! It’s so much cuter than the original,
I think so too! I love the light up ear design. 🚨
Would you say that this is worth it for a 4 year old to have? My 4 year old daughter wants one but it seems a little complicated to meeee lol
My niece wants that I heard her say 'I wish I could have a Furby!'
Hopefully she gets one! ☺️
Thank you! I got it ordered and now I will be wrapping it up to put under the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve night!
It’s great that it rocks back & forth AND side to side. However, it’s needs the mouth that opens & closes like the old school Furby. It’s not as dynamic, advanced or fun with a stationary mouth that’s just stuck open all the time and doesn’t move. It could be SO much better with a moving mouth !
I wish that just like the furby 2005 one that you could say "i speak furbish" and you could actually speak furbish to it and it would understand you
Look how they massacred my boy...
I really want one, but also kinda want to see if new colors will come out...
its kinda like rainbowcorns because it comes with bracelet
Are you getting the tamagotchi uni? It’s the new tamagotchi and it has wi fi and it’s gonna connect to the tamaverse
I am! I preordered awhile back and will be doing a full review on it!
No animatronic beak? And it’s 90 euro I got boom with a fully animatronic face for like 60
Same Old Furby!
Luv' em!
I have a 2023 furby it's the coral one also there is some secret commands
Oh F 👹 no!
🧌 F is for Furby in that sentence. 😜
🤣🤣🤣
My niece just got this for her birthday, it's really cute.
i always wanted a furby
Um I like the old furby
SAME 😭
me too but this ones cool too execpt the eyes…
Furby connect i the cutest tho😊❤
I pressed the reset button on my Furby, and now the light on its head is blinking continuously. How many minutes should I wait? Do you know?
Nope i asked the 2012 for christmas and i love it
great review also, in the video, you said it would be interesting if they could connect to Wi-Fi. They kinda did that in the Furby connect but the games are kinda bad so
The furby can't connect with other furbys but it could interact with other furbys
These would be better if they had a usb rechargable. Batteries are so outdated.

It's kind of wild to see them return and be cutier than before.
I loved the furby when I was a kid in the 90’s now we have kids and we can endure the furby what I and all my cousins loved when we were just kids
Pros and Cons
Pros Cons
Beak doesnt move
Doesnt have lcd eyes
Speaks furbish but doesnt understand it
Excellent speaker quality
Interacts with furblets
Super cute

It doesn’t sell that well to have those features
There currently are Furbies in French, German, Spanish and Italian. :)
4:43 It's cute and I have one too
I have the purple one i named her furb!
How. do. You. Get. That
Link is in the description of this video!
You should try magic mixes they are less annoying the shut off automatically for around five minutes.
>con that it uses batteries
No no no...
This is a plus! It means that there isnt a ticking timbomb lithium ion battery stuck in it! It means when your kid js nostalgic in 10 years you can just slap batteries in it!
Non-user servicable batteries in consumer electronics are trash!
To say that "Furby learns" sounds a little vague - are there more details on what that exactly means/entails? Thanks for the nice review :) !
Many furbies were programmed to unlock new words as it’s played with so I’m guessing it’s not so much learning as much as it is “The furby could say those words but won’t until it is played with enough.”
Wow , i think its really funny for kids 😊
I bought my furby for myself as a Christmas present. I live in Mexico and it speaks Spanish :) so I guess it will be in other languages too. 👍🏻
Good review, but i passed don't like the batteries option, i agree they should've done the charger option.
the problem with charged options is the battery still dies in the long run you just have to go inside it and desolder and replace it if you want it to keep working after that point. ill take removable batteries any day. theyre still rechargable theyre just also easily removable and you wont have to worry about blowing up your apartment working with a lithium ion battery.
❤❤❤I love furbys
13:40 i don’t know what about new furby’s, but i had two furby boom’s back in 2014 and they did know some russian (bc i am fron russia)
It’s a bummer the beak doesn’t move and that it also doesn’t come in a wide range of colors like the 90’s ones did.
Purple and Coral Furby 2023 also speak French. They are available on Amazon France
My niece has asked for one of these for Christmas 😅 I’m hoping it goes on sale for Black Friday because yeah I’m not paying £59.99 if I’m honest.
Oh gosh, me too!
@@GothGirlWorld 🤞 Hopefully we both get it in the sales…..not worth £59.99 for what it is/does imo, worse comes to worse she is getting a Ferby hooded blanket from Oodie that’s usually £100 but I got it for £34 in the sale….always have a back up incase the actual Ferby doesn’t go on sale 😂
Welp… now that the tie dye one came out(which I love), I have to buy one now. Came back to your review to confirm my decision lol
Can you change the voice that it uses? I find the voice slightly annoying but its pros seem to outweigh that
I got that same one
If they took all of the cool features from each generations and just made one model who have all of them...
I'm gonna get one for Christmas!
Beautiful and
What would you say is the best AI companion at this time?
Currently I would say Either Loona or Rux. Loona sometimes doesn’t listen though and I feel like Rux will over-explain since he’s directly connected to ChatGPT when he converses.

I got a little furblet his name is Oku
I remember Furby Boom, these are sooo much better, they speak are language, they look a thousand times cuter than the other ones I mean they look like fury Furby fluff balls, their great!
It’s a shame you can’t speak furbish to it. I loved awkwardly talking furbish to my 2005 furby.
Furby I get it
Imagine like furby and alexa
I’m gonna duct tape the two together and see what kind of monster I get 👹
I already have that one
Where did you get that I want 1
On Amazon! Links in the description of the video! 😀
Furby 2023 speaks Spanish if purchased on Amazon in the United States or can you do a configuration or something like that, thank you
I'm in France and my Furby's daughter speak french.
My guy! If you had placed your thumb on top of the sensor between the eyes for 20 seconds on the 90s furby, it would go to sleep, ie turn it off without ripping out the batteries.
Oh man! I don’t think any of my friends knew about this, haha. I never actually owned one, but I remember everyone complaining about it. Now I need to build a time machine and go back in time to let all of my friends know! 🤣
That trick works but not for all! Best was to put Furby in a closet for 4-5 minutes. 😅
Neither of those worked for my Furby. I used to put the thumb on top of the sensor and it keep talking, I leave it in my room with the lights off and it keep talking. I'm getting this Furby because NOW you can actually really turn it off and play with it when you want xD. Believe me, I tried it all, I end up giving it away.
