The iconic Furby is getting a makeover, with new glow-in-the-dark features, phrases, and more.
Nostalgic kidults will remember Hasbro’s Furby, the charmingly odd interactive toy that first launched in 1998. Hasbro resurrected Furby last year, with an updated look in two colors. Since then, the company has also released Furblets, mini Furby toys with all the interactive features of the full-size version. Now, the Galaxy Edition Furby will add glow-in-the-dark, light-up fun to Furby offerings.
The Galaxy Edition Furby, designed for kids ages 6 and up, features eyes and ears that glow in the dark, with different lighting effects in lightshow mode. The toy’s green, purple, and blue fur pattern is designed to mimic the look of the Northern Lights.
No Furby is complete without interactivity, and the Galaxy Edition is no exception. It features five voice-activated modes and more than 600 phrases, jokes, and songs. Kids can tap the heart gem and say “Hey Furby!” to get the toy’s attention, then follow up with one of five commands: Dance Party, Copy Cat, Tell My Fortune, Let’s Chill, or Lightshow.
Furby also responds to hugs, pats, and shaking. It can also interact with other recent Furby launches, including the newest Furblets. It comes with several accessories, including a comb, a pizza charm that can be used to feed it, and glow-in-the-dark clip-on beads.
The Galaxy Edition Furby is available for preorder exclusively on Amazon at $59.99.
