Looking back, I remember being terrified of Furby when I was younger. Whenever a Furby commercial came on, I either ran into another room or attacked the TV with pillows. To my dismay, neither of these methods saved me from the Furby Fever that everyone around me seemed to be succumbing to.

When these fuzzy little creatures were relaunched last year, I was cautious and, truth be told, still a bit frightened. That’s not the case for the new Furby Party Rocker, a smaller, less expensive Furby that I tested out for the spring edition of The Toy Insider. Used in conjunction with a free app, this little rocker performs for you, speaks in Furbish—which, according to a fellow editor hailing from Honolulu, oddly resembles Hawaiian—and is sure to delight you with her sassy behavior. While the Party Rocker is entertaining on its own, the app takes it to another level and appeals to today’s digi-obsessed kids.

I’m not hopping aboard the classic Furby Ferry just yet, but I am ready to get my party on with the new Furby Party Rocker.
