Furby (Purple)

The Furby is just hilarious. I am even entertained and I am 30. I got one for myself just to see if it would click with the kids before we invested in 2 of them.(ok I just wanted one!). The kids 3.5 and 5.5 year old boys would not put mine down. They both wanted to keep playing with it. So I convinced the hubby we needed 3. I wasn't giving mine up. I also convinced him to let them have them now and not wait until Christmas because they loved mine so much. Favorite thing about Furby: 1) The iphone app! It allows you to give almost an endless supply of food and non-food items to eat. Its hilarious how it responds. Sometimes it spits parts back at you. Sometimes its happy. Sometimes it vomits it back up! The kids can't get enough and I find myself fighting the urge to insist they let me pick the next item to feed it to see what happens. You can feed him individual items or make sandwiches. They are all funny. There are tons of foods. The only problem is for people without apple products. It doesn't work on android. There is no Furby app. I hope for other peoples sake they make one. It didn't affect us much except the kids fight over the one grandparents phone that is not an android. We are mainly an apple family. 2) The only educational value I can see is that the app listens to Furby and translates to english. The is written down like texts and then my son tries to read it. If he can't he taps it and its reads it out for him. So he is kinda honing his reading skills. Also they are learning hand eye coordination and how to use electronics on the app. Other than that, its just fun! But kids are supposed to have fun too. The app is going to be the thing that keeps the kids loving this toy forever. 3) The LCD screen eyes make it have an almost endless supply of emotions and responses. 4) It dances and tries to sing to music. 5) Its surprisingly cuddly 6) It has a tail now. I am going to going to subject myself to the embarrassment of taking mine to work with me tomorrow. The rest of the stuff I think was already covered by other reviewers. There is no off button but they go to sleep quickly in the dark. I think this is part of the charm because you can't just turn them off and forget them. It does still interact with other Furby's as we have 3, its hilarious to see them talking to each other!!! Hope this helps.

While I never got into or owned one of the original Furbys, after seeing these on YouTube I just had to get one. These Furbys are so much more advanced. Just the new LCD eyes alone ensure that. They can express themselves in so many more ways. And you don't have the issue that I've heard from alot of other original Furby owners of the "blank stare" from the static eyes the old ones had. And speaking of being emotive: these new Furbys have much more movement to them and variation in movement. Forget just the back and forth and moving their ears and eyes. These new ones can dance side to side, squish their tummy in (sorry, hard to explain. Think Pilsbury doughboy when you tickle his belly) in addition to closing their eyes and wiggling their ears. As far as interacting, they definitely seem to react differently depending on the person that interacts with it most. And how you treat it. It seems to have a different personality depending on whether the main owner is male or female. The voice is different too. As far as how you treat it: if you hug it alot, pet it alot, feed it moderately and don't pull it's tail or flip it upside alot, it develops a very loving personality. If you do all those things alot, expect a very grumpy Furby. Also, a friend found out that if you tickle it alot it changes into a "baby" personality. I've only had mine for about a month or so and so have only had it change personalities a couple times. If you play it music alot it does develop "favorites". In other words, if you play it the same song alot it develops a "liking" to that song and will sing and dance to it. After a while when you start playing it different songs, it "likes" some and doesn't "like" others. You can tell this because it either sings along and dances or says "Bleh, bad song" or a negative Furbish phrase. If you liked the old Furbys, you will absolutely fall in love with the new ones. If you're like me and thought the old ones were just too simplistic, but were still intrigued by them, check out the new ones. And don't let anyone tell you that they are for a particular age group. I'm 36 and love it and have many adult friends that got their own after seeing the one they got their kids :)

I will be brief. This is not a breakthrough robotic creature that really learns from you or its surroundings. That being said, the new Furby is FUN!! It is a total ball to play with him, pull his tail, roll him around, etc. Sometimes his reactions are hilarious and the timing perfect. It's also a lot of fun when he goes completely nuts and "changes" personalities. We've had such a blast with ours, I told my wife the first night after playing with one and laughing hysterically for about an hour "we've already got our moneys worth out of this thing!" And that was before the kids had seen it! Overall we've had so many good laughs from these little guys it's really hard to say anything negative about them at all. They entertain, and sometimes surprise you even after the novelty has worn off. Totally recommend one especially if you have kids!! Oh, and the iPhone/iPad apps are fun to play with as well. As others have said it adds a new dimension to "Furby play" and it's fun to watch his reaction to different foods. Loud? Yes. Obnoxious? Totally! Will some people hate them? Guaranteed. Hilarious and adorable most of the time?? Absolutely!! *5 Stars from a 33 year old tech geek with 2 kids ages 5 and 8.* BTW the kids are very excited tonight because their Furbies are having a "sleepover" with the neighbor Furbies. A must have magical and fun toy for the holidays!!

Good

Es perfecto como regalo

Biggest Christmas hit. Cute, cuddly and she takes it everywhere, Most annoying to an adult but is not an adult toy. Be aware, there are no cut off switches on Furby, and option that an adult would love, but he will go to sleep if left alone, only thing is they will not leave it alone. Great toy for a child. Also, do not use cheap batteries, they go down quickly with furby, not a bad thing for us, lol, but you will think something is wrong with him and it's just the batteries.

All my 3 year old daughter has talked about for a year now is wanting a purple Furby. Well they are impossible to get and discontinued in stores but not at amazon. Not only was I able to find it at a great price but the first one shipped for stolen off my front door and when I called amazon they were kind enough to send a replacement for free which arrived the next day. That shows a great company to me. Thanks for making Santa a hero in my little girls eyes this year amazon!!!

Got this for a very excited seven year old girl. She had just enough time to fall madly in love with it before it died. 10 hours. We are returning it and even before refund we have ordered her a new one because I cannot stand to see her so upset. We also had to order her a different color because the price of this purple one went up 20$ since we bought it less than a week ago. Pissed to say the least. Bad luck. But, I will say that this toy is very very loved by kids and I am sure it will be one of the top toys of the year. Would also like to note that Amazon of course has a fantastic return policy and has made it very easy to replace.

Before going any further I have to admit that I am aged 24 years old. I was never allowed a Furby the first time around and was so excited to see them back on the scene! The price of Furby's on here compared to the shops seems similar I believe I saved around £5 on mine - in my opinion the money spent is well worth it! I believe this Furby will add great value to any home, especially as a gift this Christmas - adults will enjoy this almost as much as children! In response to previous comments on here which I hope may clear up some questions for you... Yes Furby does snore however this only lasts for about a minute (max) and then the Furby goes to sleep and does not awake again until it is picked up and shaken. Other comments on here left me concerned that the Furby would never switch off, however this is not the case although true that there is no 'off' button. The battery compartment is fiddly and requires you to unscrew two screws, however from a child safety point of view this is fine. Batteries last reaonably well depending on the quality (the first set I put in cost a £1 and lasted only one day!) When replacing old batteries with new, you have to 'reset' the Furby before closing it back up. This I feel is not made clear in the instructions only with a label pointing to the resent button. It caused me to think that my Furby had actually died but I was glad to realise this was not the case! By resetting this does not delete the current progress of the Furby. All in all a fantasic product! :D:D

ferbie has made my baby girl give up all her other toys for it.. she takes it everywhere including the toilet. its commical at times i find myself mimicking it.... unknowingly, its addictive to say the list. we will have to find a way to get over it when school time comes. i would like to request for one that can teach kids to count or read the alphabet too

My 5 year old little girl asked for a Furby for Christmas, luckily I bought one early on from Amazon and got it at a reasonable price! Even though I remember them being a lot less! Have turned the rascal on, downloaded the iPhone app and already I can't understand it! Luckily it's currently sleeping!

My daughter loved this, until it changed voice and scared her. nb She is 6 and quite easily spooked... Thought it would be a hit and it was for a while but now is asleep in her bedroom and she avoids waking it up at all costs.

My 4 year old daughter loves her new pet - it goes everywhere with her. It gets treated fairly unpredictably by her two elder brothers, which means it's bound to end up with a severely disfunctional Furby personality as it gets older. There are only so many hamburgers filled with old underpants and socks that a pet can handle I guess. Anyway, the main thing is that it's keeping all 3 of them very occupied and they love it.
