Omygodomygodomygod! Not since I pulled my original Furby, Squizzlepoots, out of his box have I been so happy. Squizzlepoots fell in the sink when I was washing his fur and his batteries corroded inside of him and then he caught fire but these new Furbi are to be released June 13 (OMYGOD!) and have Emoto-Tronics,” a patented method in which a lump of plastic appears to take an interest in its environment.
They will include voice recognition and will have moods and maybe even make a little water when scared. The lucky 1,000 folks who order on the 13th will receive their Furbi—that’s the official plural according my yet-unpublished reference book, The Layperson’s Compendium of Furby Learining—on June 15. O MY GOD!
