#furby oddbody

my terrible, terrible son.... meet nicholas glurbonym sterlington ii

in january of 2019, 16-year-old me decided to make a long furby. i was inspired to do so by @strange-aeons, so his middle name pays homage to thursday plurbonym boyporridge's naming convention (plurbonym for plaid furby, glurbonym for glamorous furby). the rest of his name is inspired by an absolutely unbearable gay diva my mom knew in high school (and trust me..... my son lives up to his namesake....)

i'd been reluctant to post him up to this point because i have zero good or even recent photos of the lad, but he is such a prominent figure in my lore that i needed to put him out there. he's the first furby i've ever owned, and back when i first made him i would use him in class projects or bring him to school and he would circulate between several friends of mine throughout the day. i was straight up known as 'the furby girl' to a good number of other students because of him. what a wild time.

anyway, as we approach his sixth birthday next month, i'm thinking of finally making him a more glamorous cloak or fixing up the terrible job i did making him in the first place lol. the snob has been deprived of attention for so long, i've gotta make it up to him somehow!!

The group!! 🥺💕💗💕

Bios(?) below the cut!

Foofi and Mercury - I got these two back in 2012 when they first released, they’ve been in and out of storage over the years, right now they live in my closet lol! Foofi has the princess personality and Mercury is a chatterbox!

Ocean - Oh my god I don’t even know where to start with Ocean, he’s the loudest furby on earth. When I got him he had the diva personality but quickly turned into a viking when I tried to move him. He must be at least twice as loud as all of my other furbies so he’s quite a headache. He refuses to be reset (i just doesn’t work) so I’ve just learned to live with his constant screaming until he switches to something calmer 😹💗

Kris - I got Kris and Ocean from the same thrift store but Kris must have had a pretty rough owner because both their eyelids and beak won’t move. They had the crazy personality when I got them but changed to a princess somehow. o: They can only stay awake for about 5-10 seconds before they turn off. I want to check that out at some point in the future but for now they’ll just stay asleep w/o batteries, no leakage thank you! Oh and also; they seem to be Russian if I’m to believe the reset label in the battery hatch.

Rocket - Sweet little rocket! I got them pre-owned like Kris and Ocean but they came in great condition! I love just having them on my desk and holding them while I do stuff (I do this with Foofy too, hence their personality lol!) No interesting story about them, they’re just a great little furby who loves to get hugs and almost always seem excited to be picked up hahah!

Taffy - I just got Taffy! They were sold as broken but it was only some battery leakage, so with that cleaned up they’re working perfectly now! I love love love seeing Taffy and Rocket talk, they’re both so precious! Taffy surprisingly came with the tag still attatched. (I left it on) o:

Brite - I mean, it’s my silly furby caterpillar oddbody I made earlier this year! They usually hang out with my plushies! Not much to say really? Their face is 3d-printed (not by me!) and spray + handpainted in blues, I tried to make it look as clean as I could bdshf, the eyes are photo paper with one bit of star confetti in each! I got the eye chip design from @/greeneeveesoup here on tumblr!

meet Digit, my hamsa hand / evil eye themed (and first ever) oddbody furby!

he’s supposed to represent a hamsa hand, a universal symbol for protection, strength and power that dates back to ancient cultures (really had to fight myself to not feel like I was bastardising it here, but it was made with love lmao). in a real hamsa hand, it has an eye that resembles the evil eye in the centre. I’ve had a small evil eye symbol charm that fell off of an old decoration laying around for ages, and I used that as his third eye.

if you’ve seen my post from a few weeks back when I was making it, you’ll know that Digit was made with a vegan faceplate, one that I made and painted myself out of clay, and I’m really really proud of how it turned out!

the thumbs on both sides of the hand weren’t supposed to look like ears, but I kind of love that it turned out like that. he’s a very strange creature and I love the final product :)

I made another long furby. This one has arms

And yes, they can wear shirts✨.

I had no idea what to name this fellow but after some brainstorming with my pals a few weeks ago, I think i'll settle on the name Bergerdorff. She/they pronouns.

Bergerdorff listens to metal and punk music and they collect bottle caps and can tabs off the street.

This one took me a long time to make but it was worth it! Definitely want to accessorize her more. Also i'm gonna do a proper photoshoot with them at some point, i've just been to lazy to take better pictures lol

STOP! furby beyond this point

CAUTION!

berry patch!

(i wish i had taken better photos!)

berry patch was the third custom i made for anime north, but they didn't actually join us there because i gave them as a birthday gift to my friend/booth partner :)

what makes berry patch special as a longfurby is that they are completely functional! their battery compartment is accessible from the back with plastic snaps. it was a challenge to see if i could completely disassemble a furby boom without breaking any parts, and have it still work when reassembled.

however, it made me realize i couldn't find a complete 2012/boom text/photo disassembly guide online. is that something people would want? 🤔

berry patch has completely custom fur, ears, mane, and tail made from my own pattern, painted faceplate, eyelids (with little strawberries!), beak, and feet, and lots of strawberry accessories. they have a posable spine and are tightly stuffed to help them sit up better. (they're quite floppy in this picture. i added more stuffing later, but the boom parts are rather heavy -- if i had had more time, i may have chosen to add weighted beads to distribute the weight better.) i nearly managed to assemble them completely without the help of hot glue... but then i needed it at the very end for the ears 😂 it's a learning curve!

[image description: two images of a modified furby boom. the first image is a closeup of its face. it has green outer fur and a red belly, and a matching swooped red hairstyle. its faceplate is painted red and has yellow paint dotted on to look like strawberry seeds. its eyelids have small strawberries and flowers painted on. it wears dangly strawberry earrings, an embroidered choker, and a faux leather choker with a large resin strawberry clipped on. its hair is decorated with needle felted strawberries and a strawberry shaped barrette. it has a hand beaded necklace reading "berry patch". its eyes are half closed and its mouth open in an expression of pleased contentment. the second image is zoomed out to show that this furby has a length of approximately 75cm or 4/5ths of a yard. its plastic feet, at the bottom of its long body, are painted to look like strawberries, and it has a long red tail that matches its head hair. its bottom uses a strawberry-printed decorative cotton. it appears to be struggling to sit up on its own, but its expression is happy. end id]

✨TUMs the Furbworm✨

My first "Oddbody" Furby I have made for myself! I had this Ty inchworm I destroyed because I tried to turn it into a clutch bag and it didn't work out. So now I made my son here TUMs.

I took the eye beads out, cut off all the glue and resewed the back, relocated an antenna, and patched one of the eye holes.

I also completely designed the eyes myself.

Eventually I may add ears to him but he's perfect right now and I love him.

TUMs is short for The Ultimate Maniacal Stink

I made this Furby quite a while ago, but it took so long to finally get nice lighting to take photos, but here he is!! :]

I think I like the name ⚘⚘ Pond Scum ⚘⚘ It goes with his colour scheme and I think he seems like a cryptic creature that could easily crawl out of a pond or swamp to go about his nightly routine. He kinda reminds me of the Swamp Ape or even a Kelpie for some reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
