I can't see the pic, so I don't know what they look like, but the last time they were brought back I thought they were cute.
The NSA-banning-Furby thing is true, actually. They thought Furbys had microphones in them and banned them as a precaution; once it was explained to them that that's not how Furbys' ability to "learn" English worked (they were just pre-programmed to speak more English as time went on), the ban was lifted.
they're a bit too cutesy and shiny for my taste, but I like them much better than the last two comebacks :) Hated the eyes on the 2012 vers and the 2005 ones just never looked quite right to me, somehow.
Their beaks don't move, though?! How weird.
I wonder if the NSA allows Alexa or Google Home. or smartphones. so many devices have microphones now
My Furbies, including the new one. :)
