An Australian K-Zone magazine from January, 2003 featuring three Red Rooster Furby keychains...

So, I guess they were given out in 2003 instead? I mean, why mention them in a magazine from 2003 if they’re from a year earlier?

Though the tags only have the date “2002″, it doesn’t necessarily mean they came out that year. Maybe the plushies were made in 2002 but were only given out in 2003. 

This would make sense, since the magazine is from January and in late 2002, Red Rooster might have planned releasing the Furby toys in 2003. To further support this theory, there’s a Barbie doll where the box says “Copyright 2006″, but it was first revealed at a toy fair in 2007 and launched that year instead.
