Hasbro announced the news in a statement Thursday, teasing a “new generation” of the iconic toy that took U.S. consumers by storm at its initial 1998 release. Now, 25 years later and after a seven-year break from producing anything Furby-related, the company is cashing in on Millennial and Gen-Z nostalgia, though arguably with slightly less creepy models. The new 2023 Furby is perhaps cuter, has more features COOL LIGHTS AND SWEET DANCE MOVES: Furby is also a dancing toy with amazing blinking eyes and a light up color changing toy whose ears glow with different light effects A simple electric motor and a system of cams and gears close the Furby's eyes and mouth, raise its ears, and lift it off the ground in a faux display of mobility. Children find it harder to switch off because a lot of toys have tech and they are very overstimulating, so it’s probably a good marketing tool for parents too.”

FURBY TALKS TO OTHER FURBY FRIENDS: When you have 2 Furby friends together, they can interact! Each Furby sold separately. The new version comes with a microphone and five voice commands that can make it dance, tell the child’s fortune, copy their voice, and put on a light show. It also enables them to take part in a joint meditation session through the “let’s chill” command.Meet Furby!
