The Furby is back! The toy giant Hasbro has decided to relaunch his stuffed animal, an icon from the late 90s that drove more than one crazy. With its bulging eyes and yellow beak, the Furby has sold 40 million copies, all capable of wailing and wailing at any moment.
Therefore, Hasbro hopes that a new generation of children will “discover their own curious little critter,” the company explains in a press release.
600 phrases but without internet
Hold on, the new model has more than 600 phrases, jokes and possible dances in memory for more joy for children and always more noise for the rest of the family.
It comes in two colors, coral and purple, with an improved design, including less bulging eyes, for a price of $69.99.
On the other hand, the price in euros and the availability in France are not yet known. It is already on sale on Amazon in the United States and will be in stores from July 15. Please note that the sold version speaks, for the moment, only in English and obviously in Furbish.
This isn’t the first time Hasbro has tried to relaunch the plush. An improved version had already been released in 2013 in an attempt to boost toy sales before being withdrawn from sales in 2016.
Despite its full potential, the new Furby will not connect to the Internet. Good news since a user had already tried to connect it to ChatGPT at the beginning of the year. Not shy, the Furby then vowed to control the world.
