Blast from the past

Before we get to the actual 2012 Furbys, let´s talk about 1998 and 2005 Furbys.
Original Furby was released in 1998 with 48 colors and 20 limited editions. After that, came Furby babies in 24 colors. Shelby, Furbys interactive friend, came in 2000 in 12 colors and then Furby was discontinued.

In 2005, Furby was launched again with 4 baby Furbys and several different colors of adult Furby. These 2005 Furbys were kinda flop and Hasbro doens´t even mention these in interviews etc.

As we all know, 2012 Furbys are now here! With 20 different colors and 4 party rockers, Furby is now hotter than ever!

I have gathered here some awesome links with Furby info and pictures:

Of course, the Official Furby site from Hasbro: Furby.com
Adopt a Furby site: Adoptafurby.com
Adopt a Furby Forum:  Adoptafurby Forum

Here is a topic from one of the Adopt a furby forum members. She has almost all the original Furbys, her collection is huge! Great pictures. Members collection

Furby wiki. Some great info, some not so great. Keep in mind that this wiki is updated mostly by kids so there might be lots of false info. Furby wiki
