Didn’t the terrifying Furby Connects of like 2016 have the ability to connect to internet-connected apps and would send OTA updates to the furby on a weekly basis? I think the furby itself was receive-only and wouldn’t send anything, but I might be wrong. I still think it’s fair to say that furby was at least semi-connected to the internet.
Technically Furby Connects is a subcategory of Furby, and I was talking about the main line, (and “Connect” is in the name, so that is still not trying to sneak it past consumers) but I could see the argument it is a little pedantic.
But saying THIS model has a camera and is connected to the internet explicitly goes against most of the advertising and most everyone is just wanting to act panicked about a basic toy. 😑
Oh! I actually thought the Furby Connect was another mainline furby, but I honestly didn’t find it good looking, so I passed on it completely (I’ve been more of a tamagotchi person anyway). I think a lot of the “furbies are creepy” opinions are just rehashed fear from the lies that were spread about the first couple furbies. I wasn’t allowed to have one when I was a kid because the people on tv said it was creepy because they might have cameras and would record children.
If my parents knew I have a stripped gen 2 furby with a single eyelash on my shelf looking like a skeleton, they’d definitely think it was creepy haha
I want the same toys but less loud and needy. 😭I loved Furby and tamagotchi too, but I wanted them to bring some of the stuff from those digimon pets they had way back in the 90s. Let me make tamagotchis fight!
