Hi my name is Cocoa, I'm  one of the tail less Furbies. I enjoy playing, singing, and dancing,  when I don't have a cold making me sneeze. I'm also very upset!! Please read my note below.

From the Tiger page I learned that Wards had just received a shipment that day, so off to the store I went. When I walked in and asked the salesperson about them, he had to stop and think for a moment, "Oh ya, we just got them today". There sat a big display full of the critters. 

By Thanksgiving the country was going Furby Crazy, message boards, chat rooms, web sites were popping up all over the place. Not only was my counter rising, so was the street price of Furby.

Christmas morning came, many a person found a Furby under the tree, while others only hoped. I, like many other people thought the storage would be over by mid January.  ...Well you can't be right all the time.

A year later and many generations of Furbies, and a lot of new friends, the story continues.

These 80 little guys were the best buy in town, Any one want a hamburger and fries?
 

I have set up this little guest book for people to post which Furbies the need. Nothing fancy but should help you to do some swapping. Please use the guest book at the bottom of this page for remarks about this site.

Good online friends! When I first started this page back in October '98, it was easy to keep up with what was new. Then came Christmas, and now we have special editions, new colors, and the list goes on. I would like to thank all the great people who help by writing me and letting me know of anything I have missed.

Avoid rip offs the Graduation Furby looks like the original black and white with the only major physical difference appearing to be a graduation cap. However the Graduation Furby does come in a special red Limited Edition box. According to the Official Furby site 250,000 were released.

All new Furbys have a "Deep Sleep" mode enhancement. The new feature makes sure Furby stays asleep until his owner is ready to play.

Don't use the cheap batteries, or old batteries!! I have seen two different people who thought their Furby was defective, only to find that if they used 4 new Duracell or "Pink Bunny" batteries, all was well.
 

You need a small phillips SCREWDRIVER to open the battery compartment.

If you do get a defective Furby here is the address - Tip from Juwen

These two came from one of my visitors - Jerry

• If you tilt the box all the way forward and shine a flashlight in back of Furby, you can usually tell if there is a tail or mane.

Of the ones  I've gotten for friends, I have found that the black with white tummy and gray tabby with gray tummy both have manes The all white, all black, gray spotted and gray tabby with white tummy have all had tails.

Hic-cups:
Swing your Furby around. He'll start saying Weeee, Waahooo, Big Fun, etc. But after a while 5-10 minutes of this, he'll start to hic-cup after saying Waahoo, and gradually after other words too. It took a while for him to do it, but he does. It's either a circular motion, or a left right left motion that sets him off. So try both. Not sure which one.

It's how to make him cry:
Turn your Furby upside down, and GENTLY shake him up and down. Do not hold his bottom still. It won't work. Or at least we haven't got him to do it while holding the bottom. You'll hear some noise, that seems to be his eyes rattling. We've been doing it all night, and ours is none worse for wear. He'll start asking you to stop, saying he's scared, and eventually he'll cry. OR you'll get the opposite reaction, and he'll love it, saying it's big fun. Do not even try it if he's hungry. That's all he'll tell you. LOL

His a new one, try this: Place your Furby in front of a mirror, and see if he will play with himself. I have received two e-mails from people that said theirs did.

Here Kitty Kitty, I've seen postings from different people reporting that their Furby can say Kitty. I have now received an e-mail from one person that said theirs has also done this. Would love to hear from some more folks about this. This may just be a cute easter egg. ;-)UPDATE: 3/22/99 For the past couple of weeks dozens of you have written me from all over the country, it would appear that Furby does say "Here Kitty Kitty" the trick appear be that you need a pair. While a couple of people that wrote only had one, most had at least two.
 
 

Sorry there are no "pink" or "blue" Furbies. The only way you get one of these is if you dye them. Update: Almost every color of the rainbow is now available.

No matter what you hear all Furbies are "rare", not just any one color. They are made in equal numbers. Of course after Christmas there will be enough for everyone. Update: There will be enough after Christmas appears to have be a rumor too! Update 2: Well it's now a year later, much easier to find, but still doesn't appear to be a surplus of them.

My favorite rumor: "You can teach him new words", sorry  you can't teach him/her new words.

That Furby is going to be re-designed, because of the lawsuit. The Official Home page states this is false, there are some new colors and features, but no re-design.

Y-2 problem with Furby. Well I wrote the webmaster of the official Furby site that Tiger runs. Their response was NO PROBLEM. Furby does not have a time reference. Good news for us!

Tiger has now released to stores the "Furby Backpack"! Wow, now you can carry your Furby and still have your hands free.

Hit the local discount store, "baby dept.", one of the mini diaper bags for a Furby tote.

Then either the baby doll, section for some play silverware.

Well you get the idea, now here are some sites that are offering a few things of their own. By the way I'm also working on making a 1 and 2 Furby tote.

Or a Hand-made Afghan or blanket? Need help carrying Furby around? Check this little Furb-tote.
