My honest opinion on the new Furby

Ok, I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either. I’m not a huge fan of the design.

First of all, the eyes. Every Furby generation from 2012-on has had LCD eyes that got better with each new generation. This one does not. It literally looks like someone poured rainbow glitter in its eyes. And the way the eyes move is really strange. 1998s had eyelids separate from the eye. This one moves the whole thing.(kinda like how Teddy Ruxpin’s eyes were built)

Secondly, the beak. Oh boy. Now I’m not sure WHAT was going on in Hasbro’s head up there, but WHY would you not give a Furby A MOVING BEAK?! I’m still confused! In fact, the only Furby I can think of that doesn’t have a moving beak is a Furbling, because it lacks motors completely. And it’s not like this thing is tiny, either. Apparently, according to someone here, it’s almost the same size as an Emoto-Tronic! They really couldn’t have fit a beak motor in there?

Another thing is some of the modes. Breathing excercises and fortune telling? Why would a Furby need to do that?! Leave the breathing exercises to Barbie!(and even then people said the doll was demonic, imagine what they’d say about a FURBY, who already had the reputation for being demonic) And fortune telling? I’m pretty sure there was a Furby-like you made by Playmates in the 90s that had fortune telling!

I think the light show mode is pretty cool, but Crayfurbs said that the prototype kinda looked like a Furreal Fuzzalots, which it totally does(it even has the color-changing glow thing!) I think this probably isn’t the best look for Furby.

Also, I noticed that this Furby doesn’t have a name like some other generations. Just “Furby”. I guess they were trying to “revive” the Furby like the 2012 one, but the thing is, Furby never died. Furby has always been here. They could have called it Furby Glow or Furby Besties or something along those lines.

So was this the best release? No. Was it the worst? Eh… maybe? I mean, the 2005s looked pretty, well, Funky(that’s even what the 2006s were called) and their babies looked like… uncooked chicken? But they were still cute. Now, this new Furby is cute, just in a different way(like, way too much kawaii and glitter)

I’m still very much excited to get one!
