Great Furby...anxiously awaiting new content!

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016

So this is the first Furby I have had since the original. I got that one for Christmas when I was in eighth grade. This was a gift to myself.

The Furby is named Dee-Doh (dude) and has already needed batteries replaced because I play with it so much! I use it both with the app and standalone.

For the Furby: The toy is a good size...quite a bit bigger than the original and the Boom series. The fur is very soft. The sensors work very well and respond as expected. When the batteries are new, Dee-Doh gets a bit excited and falls over a lot even when placed on a level surface. This goes away as the batteries lose charge. The mask is convenient, especially when transporting the Furby. I had no issues updating or connecting with my phone.

For the App: There is a lot there already and I have not had many issues overall. The app does seem to tax my phone and it is a brand new Android. It has crashed once or twice. The furblings are adorable and fairly easy to care for. The interactions Dee-Doh has while playing are appropriate but repetitive. I imagine this will improve as he and the app are updated.

Overall, this toy is a win. The interaction is lively and amusing. The mask is convenient and much appreciated. Content needs to improve, but that is really my only complaint.

Update! I love Dee-Doh so much that I had to get him a friend now that the price has come down so much. Picked up the coral orange color and they have hysterical conversations. Way-Doh (Sunset Dreamer) is a bit louder than Dee-Doh but I also haven't tried them with fresh batteries at the same time. I do wish there were other face mask colors so I could have them be a bit more individual. Very pleased overall. Content updates over time have been consistent and have really added to the play value. I recommend the furby connect to everyone haha.

A Great Furby!

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2016

Now, I was originally hesitant to buy this, I was thinking it would just be the same as the Furby BOOM! but cuter, which would've been disappointing since those are my least favorite of the furbies. Now that I've gotten myself a pink one and played with it, I do not regret buying the Furby Connect one bit. While I do heavily dislike that it has toilet humor, I still really liked it, I even got addicted to the app before getting the toy! Unlike with others, my furby worked perfectly fine and had very fluffy fur. Furby Connect is definitely superior to the Hatchimal. It has a lot of things to do with the app that makes it's playtime last longer while the Hatchimal just gets boring once it hatches and gets to it's final stage and will probably never be played again after that, while a furby connect will likely entertain for many months. As a 12 yr old who is part of the age audience this is aimed for, I'd definitely recommend a furby connect for people who collect furbies or just like em in general.

Great toy for young child!

My 7 yo loves this toy! I was looking to get a Hatchimal for xmas but they were sold out. So I looked into an alternative and found Furby. The app is a huge hit, as is all of the potty humor (Furby farts and burps a lot and poops strange things into the toilet on the app). I like that Furby has updates. I keep hearing that Furby has learned a new song, and it's voice is cute. I haven't sat down to explore the toy, but it was such a hit, we bought a second one for birthday time. They are loud together, but they will interact with each other. They perform together by singing and dancing a choreographed routine. It's adorable.

They are super adorable toys

I bought 9 of these for Christmas gifts for my kids, nieces/nephews. They are super adorable toys. 2 stopped working shortly after playing with them. Eyes went solid black (which happens when the batteries die) and never turned on again after a battery change and another wont go the hell to sleep even with it's mask on which is super annoying especially at 3 am when you wake up to a farting Furby? Haha. Amazon sent placements out right away. Only reason Im giving 4 stars is because the battery life with these are awful which I read in other reviews as well. Batteries last for about a day maybe two if they aren't played with a lot but my kids love these and play with them often so we go through batteries so fast.
I have kids from 18 months-12 years old that got one and they have all enjoyed them. The app that you install is a fun game. The kids played it for a few days then lost interest but you dont really need it to enjoy the Furbys. They are hilarious and we have spent hours laughing at these guys. They do fart and burp A LOT which I think is weird for a kids toy to do but the kids get a kick out of it. I highly recommend these toys IF you're okay spending hundreds of dollars on batteries or own rechargeable ones.

My 3 year old loves her Furby.. I think the most entertaining part is that her brother has one and the two furbies talk to each other. My son (6) gets more enjoyment out of his furby because he plays the app and interacts more with his furby in a way my 3 year old doesn't. Both are very happy with their Furby and enjoy them! When the 2 furbys talk and sing, both kids laugh and dance and for a few minutes stop fighting!! As a parent, I'd be lying if I said they weren't annoying... but they are amusing.

Most Annoying/Vial Toy Ever!

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

As a parent I would give this one star. However my daughter loves it which is the main thing and why I generously gave it 3 stars. If you're looking for a toy with educational value, this is NOT it. The vial creature poops and passes gas while yelling out, "Oh it's stuck; no more leftovers; the struggle is real!" If an inanimate object could have a viral/bacteria infection I would be convinced our toy needs medical attention because it's like this thing has diarrhea. Other friends' Furbies like to eat, and sleep. Not ours. It's always screaming out that it needs to use the toilet. Sometimes the poop balls turn into Furblings. Just_wrong_on so many levels. When it's not using the toilet it sings loudly and off key. The saving grace is the eye mask that makes the darn thing sleep.

This is the perfect gift if you have a sibling who terrorized you as a child and you now want to get back at them by giving this as a gift to their kids. Also I'm tempted to have it on my desk during the next work conference call. If I could cue it to shout out "The struggle is real" at the right moment, I certainly would! ;)

Lastly, the app does crash on occasion. My 10 year old had this toy well researched though and recommended having the app on a phone versus an IPad as there were less kinks this way.

Enjoy!

For Kids 5-Stars For Adults it is annoying AF.

My kids love it! We opted to go with this over the hatchamils and my kids love the app and new downloaded content. My wife and I personally hate the thing, it is extremely annoying and won't shut up unless you put the sleeping mask on it. DO NOT LOSE THE SLEEPING MASK!!!! But it is about the kids right? So great toy, lots of hours of fun.

Furby No Go...Bought 2, Returned 2

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought the teal Furby and it kept dying and had to be constantly "woken up" and was glitchy. Play with it a few minutes and out it goes mid-play. Contacted Amazon for a refund and reordered but got the pink one this time. Pink one dies even quicker than the teal one so it's going back as well. Amazon told me that they will start an investigation into this problem. These Furbies seem to have a defect/glitch that Hasbro needs to work on. Both Furbies had brand, new fresh batteries and were not played with very long at all. Teal one started glitching after the 2nd time played with and the pink one started doing it almost immediately. It's a great toy when it works and only reason I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1. May buy another one but not until after Hasbro fixes these issues.I usually don't review products but felt I needed to let others know. My daughter was disappointed not once but twice. Quality control, Hasbro!

Furby Connect is fun and entertaining

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2016

Furby Connect is fun and entertaining. Furby's comments are always unexpected. I too had issues updating and connecting Furby to the app. I spent three days making attempt after attempt. I finally contacted Hasbro. The support rep said that Furby requires a strong battery and they recommended using fresh alkaline batteries, such as Duracell. If you are using heavy duty, super heavy duty, generic or rechargeable batteries, Furby will not function properly. I used energizer lithium and had no problem. My device was iPad Air 2 running iOS 9.3.2. Apparently, the device and the OS makes a difference. The other tip was to reset Furby. There are two types of resets. The 2nd one worked for me. Afterwards Furby updated and connect via the app with no issue. Steps below. Hope this helps someone experiencing the same connection problems.

Reset Furby #1
a. Remove batteries from Furby
b. Leave batteries out for a full minute
c. With the batteries in the toy, press the reset button for 5 seconds and release. (The reset/refresh button is a small button located in the battery compartment with the battery cover off)

Reset Furby #2
If reset #1 does not work, the other reset is turning him upside down while holding down his tongue and pulling his tail for ten seconds straight. Furby's eyes will go dark and he will wake up freshly reset.

GREAT INTERACTIVE TOY, HORRIBLE ON BATTERIES

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

So, this thing is seriously CUTE, and my 5 year old daughter LOVES it. She says it's her favorite Christmas gift (and she got a lot). I agree that's it's BETTER THAN THE HATCHIMAL, because it does so much more and is so INTERACTIVE. The one big NEGAITVE though is that we put brand new, good quality batteries in it when she got it Christmas morning, and this morning (the 27th), I had to REPLACE THE BATTERIES! AFTER 2 DAYS!! I was extremely disappointed as my daughter made sure to always put the eye mask on it whenever she wasn't using it.
