Hasbro Furby Review Summary

The Furby made it's debut nearly 10 years ago, but this interactive toy is still around. Though the Furby is a unique novelty toy, talks and learns and interacts with other Furbies, our reviewers have given them a thumbs down. The furry little creatures are overpriced, overrated, boring, have glitches, are annoying and won't stop talking. People found that removing the batteries was the only option at times to get the Furby to be quiet. The most critical review stated that Furbies are not worth the money or hassle. It's not surprising this toy only got a 40% recommendation rating. PattyTherre offered the most positive review, sating that "Furbies are both adorable and incredibly annoying." The bottom line is this is not an ideal toy for kids and it is aggravating for parents.

Quick View: Oh yeah, Furbies are still around and are selling out again! Even though they were introduced years ago (in 1999, I believe) these little interactive guys are still favorites of kids and adults. I had several of them at one time and now only one remains. He had unlearned all I taught him... review »

This toy is awful!

My daughter has had a few Furbies. They were all awful. Very cute and creative and fun at first... however, they always ended up with gliches. They wouldn't work properly, and they would start talking at all hours of the day and night and the only way to shut them off was to remove the batteries. I would... review »

Annoying at times but mostly fun

I had 5 Furbies when I was a kid and have really fond memories of them! I would recommend Furby to kids 6 and up and kids at heart.

In case you have been living under a rock, Furby is an interactive toy that talks to you and needs to be fed and taken care of. It's extremely cute and funny. They are furry and come in many colors and patterns. They start out speaking "Furbish," a made up language, and gradually learn more and more English.

I think Furbies have the perfect balance between being interesting and educational but not so demanding that they take over your life. Occasionally they ask...

What is their purpose, besides money being wasted?

I can not for any reason see for buying one of these.  Although, they may look cute and fuzzy, they are heavier than expected.  Also, not for younger children or special needs students.  I wasted money buying a few of these for my students, wish I had not.  The students did not like any of them, no matter the color or style.  Just my humble opinion.

This furry creature is so darn cute. My kids just love him and can't stop playing with the furby. All of there friends have them and when they call get together it is so funny. The funny thing about the furbys is that even my husband finds them very cute. I just wish they had furbys when I was growing up. I think at any age kids will enjoying having them. I also like the fact they come in different colors. Now my kids  can't fight over them.

Furbys are Amazing! They are the best toys for young ones. My daughter had one. One day we went to get our pictures taken and the photographer couldn't get her to stop crying so i went into my purse and grabbed it out. She almost stopped crying immediately. Well her pictures came out beatuifully. She never left it at home until one day our dog ate it. The furby is the greatest toy,that also teaches children to care for animal.

This Hasbro toys was the latest craze about 10 years ago but now needs to be retired to the back of the toy bin. It has out lived it time in the toy world. It was overated and overpriced for the first two years and no one could buy them at a reasonable price. Now they collect dust on the shelves of most toy stores. Time to hang it up Hasbro. The fat lady has sing this one song finally.

Having a Furby is so much fun.  They pick up on what you say to them and repeat it later.  Mine was sitting next to a telephone and the next thing you know, it was making a ringing sound.  Then one day it was sneezing, after someone in the house had a cold.  If you don't want to listen to them, after a few minutes of not being interactive with them, they go to sleep.

He might be cute but watch out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah he might be cute and furry but I wasn't very impressed with it. My daughter had to put it in a dark closet every time she wanted it turned off! Maybe we didn't read the directions very well or maybe ours was dysfunctional. In any case I won't purchase another one of the creepy little cuties.

This toy by far is the best and has lasted the longest. My daughter will carry this around all day and sleeps with it at night. It talk and learns more as you talk to it and it sings. You have to feed it make sure it gets lot of attention which really teaches responsibility.
