Hasbro announces iconic toy is making a comeback

Hasbro has announced that Furby is making a comeback this year and will have a fresh new look and brand-new features.

Available to pre-order from 29th June, this interactive toy friend features 5 voice-activated modes and over 600 responses to discover, including lights, sounds, and 10 unique songs. Want to speak a secret language that only you and your bestie can understand? Feel like breaking out into a random dance? Need a moment to just pause everything, chill out and recharge? Furby does all of that and so much more. Tell Furby what you want to do with 5 commands – “Dance Party,” “Cop Cat,” “Tell My Fortune,” “Let’s Chill,” or “Lightshow” – for an un-fur-gettable time that matches any mood or vibe and will be available in two new colours, Purple and Coral.

“Over the past few years, we’ve done a lot of research to understand what kids would want to see in a new Furby,” said Kristin McKay. “Through this research, kids told us that it was important for Furby to be their ultimate best friend – a furry companion to do all the things a BFF would do, like dance to music, share fortunes, meditate, mimic each other in silly voices, and even put on a light show, and that’s exactly what we created.”

Furby also responds to hugs, pats, belly tickles, shaking, and feeding of its pretend Pizza Charm, yum! Kids can care for Furby by feeding them, combing their furhawk, and dressing them up with the included clip-on beads and fashion accessories.

Hasbro previously released Furby Boom! in 2013 and in 2012 Furby was one of the most popular toys and became one of the top-selling toys for Christmas and this looks set to be the same!
