After making my poll, a lot of people showed interest in wanting to try and identify if my Furby is real and what her origin is. As you can see the tag has been cut off and the bottom has no text. I've not used a screwdriver to check if the inside has info, but if needed I will.

I don't know where my family got her, but it was likely between 2001-2008. I'm located in Finland, and American toys can take forever to show up here, so that's worth keeping in mind.

In 2001 Tiger / Hasbro was asking the big questions: What if Furby was a hamburger

NEW updated furby speculative evolution chart!!! :] click 2 zoom in or read under cut

SHELBY (2001) Evolving throughout Paleozoic Era, mainly Permian Period. ~275 MYA. Related to clams and horseshoe crabs. Lives on coasts.

FURBY (1998-9) First appeard in late Triassic period. ~220 MYA. Similar to early mammals like Morganucodon, with Lystosaurus-like beak and reptillian parietal eye (infared sensor). Lives on sandy beaches.

FURBY (2012) Like some birds, evolved to have brighter colors in response to tropical environment and abundance of species. Ears are made of cartilage, and larger eyes as a result of having no natural predators. (It's literally called Furby Island).

BOOM (2013) Different coat patterns evolve through selective mating. Holes in ears for wider range of hearing.

PARTY ROCKERS (2013) Experimental subspecies with differing beak, ear, and eye proportions. Honestly probably boardering on extinction.

EMOTOTRONIC (2005) Emerged during early Cretaceous period. ~105 MYA. Similar to Repenomamus in size in order to compete with dinosaurs. Thick, leathery skin replaces beak, and forms toenails for rougher terrain. Lives in lush tropical forests.

FUNKY (2006) A selection of Emoto-tronics that developed brighter colors, and tails developed from selective mating.

CONNECT (2016) Antenna forms for advanced communication. Beak size shrinks to compensate for larger eyes, ears, and increased brain size. Almost like aliens.

FURBY (2023) Glowing ears fromed from gradual absorpsion of antenna. More advanced communication and higher level of conciousness. Beak continues to shrink and eyes continue to enlargen.

FURBLETS (2023) Smaller subspecies, exchanged bioluminescence for higher range of motion. Can fold ears over body for protection.

i used to frequent the geocities/angelfire-based furby webrings for my homeschooled kid special interest time back in the day. i love seeing how the furby fandom has always been this die-hard and adorable and i'm trying to track down some of my favourites i remember from that era.

this was a crocheted furby clothing business someone set up around 2001-2002! i like to imagine this was just somebody's mom or grandma's adorable side hustle.

MY MOMS FRIEND IS FINALLY FINDING HER OLD FURBS, THIS IS THE FIRST ONE SO FAR!!

im so excited bc i have never had a fresh new look before!

edit: i just realised this is one of the furbys that was labeled as a fresh new look between 2001-2002 but didnt have any modifications on it, its supposed to have white eyelids 😭 (i still love em the same :)

In my previous post about a prototype Furby, I said I emailed the voice actor. He replied with some information about the Furby he voiced.

Hiya,

I'm afraid you've reached the limit of my memory. I do remember the job you're talking about, but it was before I was using Google calendar/email, so those records are long gone.

As I recall, the prototype was being developed by Tiger Toys, and the recording session was several days long in 2000 to capture the many interactive responses they had planned. This was the early days of the internet, and I believe they'd planned sort of a Teddy Ruxpin on steroids kind of thing. I don't remember ever seeing the prototype or if it was ever produced, but it sounds like what would have been called an I-Furby. I don't remember them calling it that. I vaguely recall maybe a temporary commercial with a mockup, but I could be confusing it with the regular Furby spots. I was told the project had been shelved some time after we recorded. I have a lot of the scripts from jobs I did in the early 2000s, but I don't think Furby is among them.

I was able to locate a letter I sent on March 14, 2001 that talks about the project. I've pasted it below. Hope it helps you get to the bottom of it!

Dear Mr. Jones,

I tried to catch up with you during the Toy Fair, but you were too busy.  I hope you had a successful trip to NYC and that things now are as calmed down as you’d like.

After what I was told was an exhaustive search, I was the one chosen to work with Sandy Schneider and Mark Stebbeds on the now defunct Crigit/Furby2000 project.  I absolutely wanted to maintain contact with Tiger, and now that Sandy is no longer there, I was told to contact you.

As the enclosed CD should show (Track 3 especially), I can provide a HUGE variety of character voices and dialects, and as the sessions in NYC proved, I’m fun and efficient to work with.  I am from the Midwest (moved to NYC from Bloomington, IN) and would be happy to meet with you next time I’m out there, or on your next visit to New York.  The Furby2000 concept sounded really great, and it certainly seems Tiger’s toys are moving in the ever-more-interactive direction.  When further concepts are developed and you are seeking a voice to assist in bringing the character to life, I hope you’ll again consider me.

Sincerely,

Kevin Kolack

He also mentioned that recording for the prototype occurred in July, 2000, in Manhattan, but he was informed in December that year, that the project was cancelled.

Despite Kevin being told this, Sega Toys displayed Cregit at the 2001 Tokyo Toy Fair in March, with the intent of releasing it in October that year (in Japan). Cregit does not appear to have been released, however, as no listing photos of it have been documented.
