Forget furbys what about the trolls. The one with the jewel in their tummy.

A Furby (plural: Furbys, as claimed by Tiger. Co., instead of the Standard English Furbies) is an electronic toy, more specifically, a robot, made by Tiger Electronics which went through a period of being a "must-have" toy following its launch in the holiday season of 1998, with continual sales until 2000. Furby sold 1.8 Million units in 1998 and 14 million units in 1999, and altogether in its three years of original production, Furby sold over 40 million units, and its speaking capabilities were translated into 24 languages. Furbys were the first successful attempt to produce and sell a domestically aimed-robot. A newly purchased Furby starts out speaking entirely Furbish, the unique language that all Furbys use, but are programmed to speak less Furbish as they learn more English. The more English they learn, the more they "grow", thus placing them under the autonomous robot category.
In 2005, new Furbys were released, with voice-recognition and more complex facial movements, among many other changes and improvements.

Ahhhh furby's!.. Yikes.. I used to work at a toy store back when they were insanely popular, and having a bunch of those little furry things staring at you is creepy.... I was convinced they were plotting against me.
I don't know where they are now, but I for one, am glad they are gone.

Someone got them wet after midnight. ... You know what happened then.
Or was that Gremlins? Looked like the same thing to me.
Firbys were freaky looking. I think I saw some not to long ago.

They have a traumatizing effect on the kids.
