Me Sleep Again

Haven’t had much time for pics as I’ve been busy with work lately 🫤

hello furby friends, so perhaps the Biggest break in furby in almost that past 7 years which is WILD to think about, but a prototype for a new line of furbys leaked this morning on ebay at around 8am cst.

AGAIN this is wild, but is shows renwed interest from hasbro in the furby line. but first a general description,

So, bellow are the photos. 

The furby is an early run electroics prototype, these are can be very close to the final design, with the cosmetic proto being handed over for electronic prototyping.  the wires (as far as I can read) are as follows

Motor Ir encoder Microphone Left ear led Right ear led Back cap Front cap Sw & led Spear Mouth sw (switch) Neutral

So it apears they are going somewhat functionally similar to a 1998. this is also shown in the fact that they are using the og 1998 logo on the bottom. 

The board also reads 5-5-2022, so it is for sure recent. 

further into the cosmetics, it apears to be simialr to their fuzzalots brand. 

So it seems thats the direction that they are going in. which to me is… disapointing 

SO what adds to this story is the fact that Hasbo was alerted shortly after the listing and were VERY interested. showing the first public interest directly in the furby brand in years. 

the ebay listing was the struck down less than an hour later

also, with the listing, it was orginaly on auction for $50 then relisted, 

so overall. today has been a very interesting look into Hasbro playing around with a more modern furby… just observing the similarites to fuzzalots if this furby is released, it will retial for around 10-15$ which i think is a good price point, however I think that fans would prefer a more direct homage to 1998s, for those of you in the same boat as me, I think that the best we can hope for is hasbro having gone in a diffrenet direction, And with hasbro pushing their toy appearnce back, I suspect we will see an annoucment in mid september which would be just in time for the 25th aniversery. I will try my best to attend the toyfair in person or online and I will keep you guys updated.

special thanks to Furbccord for being a great palce to bounce ideas around! and specual thanks to  FranistheMan and  fubby on discord

i thought about this blog. i thought about our little community. before the oddbodies. before it crossed anyone's mind to take furbies apart for any reason other than to bathe and fix them. before people knew about us. when 1000 followers made me popular.

i thought about how i met my boyfriend here. i made friends. i made enemies. i built a reputation and made mistakes. i spent more money than i should've but made back some too. i still have Toothpaste and Toh-Loo and everyone. i don't take them out anymore.

i miss what we had. i dont think i could ever go back to the way things were. i mourn what we used to be.

but i'm glad its still alive, too. even if it's in a form unrecognizable. even if all of my friends are long inactive. even if i've grown up. maybe the community just grew up too, a little. it definitely lost the innocence it had. but that's not bad.

this was an important time in my life. i'm glad to have spent it with everyone. and i wish the best to everyone who's taken my place.

a group of furblets encounter a fearsome beast.  kinda like a scaled-down version of this
