The majority of customer reviews have been enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive, aside from the occasional technical difficulties. The new Furby friend is super-cute and fun to play with - for kids and adults, alike! To kick off Toy Tuesday, our brand-new weekly series, we're taking a look at the hot new Furby Connect. Read on to learn more about the features if this brand-new toy as well as what actual customers have been saying!

OUR 5 FAVORITE FEATURES...

The Furby Connect has colorful LCD screen eyes that display over 150 different eye animations. Those super-expressive eyes help to communicate what Furby wants to say - which especially helps when Furby is speaking Furbish!

The eyes say it all, but Furby says even more. With more than 1,000 phrases, plus fresh updates from the app, Furby has a lot to talk about!

1) Those eyes!

The Furby Connect has colorful LCD screen eyes that display over 150 different eye animations. Those super-expressive eyes help to communicate what Furby wants to say - which especially helps when Furby is speaking Furbish!




2) Furby talks, moves and reacts

The Furby creature uses over 1,000 phrases to communicate. When you watch videos with your Furby creature and explore the Furby Connect World App together, your Furby friend sings and reacts with phrases, expressive movements and eye expressions. When you put two Furby Connects together, they'll even communicate with one another - and remember each other's name!




3) Furby goes to sleep

Your Furby friend comes with a convenient sleep mask so that it 'goes to sleep' whenever you put it on. (This makes Furby especially attractive to parents ;) But kids, don't worry! When you remove its sleep mask, Furby 'wakes up' - wide awake and ready to go!




4) Furby works with your device

Furby Connect features Bluetooth Smart technology to sync with your selected compatible device (certain Fire tablets, iOS and Android devices) to learn Furby phrases, music and videos.




5) The Furby Connect World App

(for use with Furby Connect or all by itself)


The Furby Connect World App can be used with or without your Furby friend. When you explore the app world and watch videos along with your Furby Connect, your creature reacts with over 1,000 phrases and 150 eye expressions. While playing in the app alone, however, you can complete fun tasks such as taking aim to feed Furby with a virtual food cannon, or hatching and interacting with Furblings in their own world. The Furby Connect World app is available for download at the Amazon Appstore, App Store and Google Play. Furby Connect works with specific Fire tablets, iOS and Android devices.
