Title: New Furby for 2015
Post by: Echo538 on April 14, 2015, 10:26:43 PM

Hi, I miss all of you!

A new Furby is rumored to be coming out in the fall of 2015...a Star Wars Furby named Furbacca. All I know so far is that it growls, sings Star Wars songs, and plays games. Looking at the youtube video for it now. If anyone knows anything please share more. I had a Yoda furby in 2000. It was okay, but was more catered to star wars fans than Furby lovers. Is this new product a gimmick? Has anyone seen one hands-on? Is it worth the money? I'd like to know. Thanks!

Most likely a gimmick.

With the rate Hasbro has been taking Furby, it's most likely a novelty.

I'd like one to add to my collection. But Hasbro seem to prefer churning out endless colours than hardware or software changes.

True that. All the color-changes make no difference to me so I just stopped collecting at the twenty twelve model. As far as I can tell, Voiceover doesn't work with any of the cute little apps out there either so I just don't bother with them.
