The Furby Community - Because robots in fursuits are serious business.

[adorable bitch]

Gross. I can see wanting the rainbow or pastel rainbow one, but that one triggers me tism.

I really should. I have no attachment to it other than my mother getting it from a junk store some time ago as a gag Christmas present.

yeah I don't see the appeal either

It looks like :autism: concentrated into a furby.

Its the quintessential 90s color scheme for children's toys though holy shit.
Little did antivaxxers know...

The red, blue, yellow and green color scheme is a popular color choice for small children because it's bright and attractive to them. It's all there is to it. But yeah, it's pretty garish on that Furb.

Furby Tumblr's overreaction to this thread is silly. No one's trying to harass people off the internet over a damn children's toy. It's just fascinating to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Huh, there's actually a Kiwi Furby. I was hoping for something more like a hybrid of Furby and a kiwi bird.

 

[VermilionFluttershy]

I dated a guy when I was 19 that legitimately believed that certain Furbies were actually government spies.

I'd actually rather listen to him talk about Furbies then these nutjobs.

The only thing of interest I've seen concerning these things since the late 90s is a guy who rigged a bunch of them to an organ, with each key causing a specific Furby to "sing" a specific note. It was an admittedly neat concept, but was still creepy as all hell.

Petition to replace it with the logo?

i kind of want to draw a long furby mascot for this thread

 

[TokiBun]

I know it’s kind of :autism: but which Furby would you adopt?

Wizard Furb seems trustworthy.

Here's how much AutistFurbs sell for.

Probably just the photo, but this one's expression seems pretty chill.

I just like Longfurb staring sadly at the hot dogs on the table. He finally has the length to reach them...but not the arms to eat them.

I’ve been where you are, Longfurb.

There are so many avatar worthy pics in this thread.

[Eggman's Ghost]

GOD this thread is great. I was actively part of the original Furby craze in '98. I was like, 9, so I was the exact target audience. They were sold out everywhere but my mom dug around on eBay and found one for me (thanks mom!). I subsequently brought it to school to show off and be the hippest kid in my class, but the thing wouldn't shut up so I got sent home for being a disruption. No ragrets

 

[ToroidalBoat]

yeah I don't see the appeal either

It also looks like a horribly mutated macaw.

 

[Phantom]

This thread got me wondering if some other childhood toys had a fandom. In particular, I was really hoping for a tamagotchi fandom.

Didn't find one but I did find a whole ton of fanfiction
