How to Find a Furby

Furby toys were a fad item in the late 1990s and early 2000s. At some points, it was nearly impossible to find a Furby in stores. The animatronic toys stand about a hand high. With large, pointed ears, a tuft of hair, a beak-like mouth and a furry body, Furbies do not look similar to any other toy. Furbies come out the box speaking "Furbish." By interacting with the Furby, it "learns" English thanks to a pre-programmed internal component. The toys are no longer manufactured, so hopeful buyers must look on the secondhand market.
