Oh my god. This is my 4th time trying to post this but Tumblr won't let me. It's actually censoring me.

I wanted to announce that I've found a 3rd 2023 Furby shade!

It's pastel rainbow and it's currently only available for pre-order via Smyths France (I've added the link in the tags!!)

I've added my insta, since adding pictures seems to make my post refuse to upload.

If anyone is interested, I am currently writing an essay breaking down and analyzing the 2023 furby’s design and marketing choices!!

I’ll post it here in text form but I’ll probably also turn it into a video essay.

I have a conspiracy. And for context I am a Supporter of the new design because I love color and sparkles, but I’ll be looking at it from mainly a marketing viewpoint to understand what the designers and Hasbro were thinking and why they made the choices they did.

[crayfurbs]

So I got my 2023 furby in today at 5:34 am, and he’s definitely surpassed all my expectations. He’s absolutely massive, like 2005 comparable and is made of really decent soft matte plastic. The fur is soft and holds its shape, the unboxing experience is absolutely incredible (I won’t spoil it) but definitely if you want to save the box use something flat to pry it apart and don’t rip where it tells you.

The voice isn’t annoying, and he isn’t making poop and fart jokes… at all, no high pitched noise either! His voice recognition is awesome and the “volume” modulation is perfect, I have pretty bad sensory issues and he doesn’t set mine off. I’ll play test him a bit later and post more photos soon

Furby Connect Pattern

This pattern doesn't require being resized, and will print on regular printer paper (8.5in x 11in)!

The main body piece, batting fluff, and tail pieces are to be cut on the fold, as labeled. As for the cheek fluff and tail tip, the should cut 2 pieces. I guess you could the tail tip on the fold if you wanted, and I think it would be a semicircle-ish shape.

This pattern includes seam allowance!!!

The face portion is a separate piece of fabric that i have yet to figure out, but I will add it upon doing so! (Which I will bc I am reskinning my connect)

If something is inaccurate lmk and I will adjust the pattern!!

Bejewled furby resurfaces - June 2023

Hello everyone! I have been on a slight hiatus due to a myriad of personal reasons, I am back for a short post with some interesting news

a GENUINE Bejeweled furby has surfaced! 

Foreword: 

This bejeweled furby is in my opinion the only one to exist, as with much other furby information numbers of units produced is a shaky 25 year-old game of telephone. But having researched archived Tiger and FAO sites, it appears all promotional images are the same snowball furby (Notably with green eyes) and we haven’t really seen any different versions, For the information in this post I consulted several archived websites on archive.org along with the new listing 

Background info: 

The following description is transcribed from the original FAO Schwarz listing for the bejeweled furby. 

“Created by designer Sidney Mobell. The world's most exciting tay is now the world's

most precious. bedecked with 156 gleaming and glittering genuine gemstones Lovable Furby comes adorned with a tiara necklace. and earrings crafted in platinum and 18k gold and containing 63 full cut diamonds (3.7 ctw) 44 rubies (4.5 ctw) blue sapphires (5 3 ctw) and emeralds (1.O ctw). AIl 3 pieces are removable So you can wear them too!

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the word class hasbro children's hospital–”

The listing + info

So here is the description of the listing, the starting bid is 1,200.

(ill add it in later once the auction ends)

Now for those of you at home, you may be thinking... a $100,000 furby with an auction cap of $2,000. somthing must be fishy right?

but on paper... the bejweled furby isnt worth that much, and Ill explain.

For those of you who are not jewelers (I have only taken intro classes myself) this furby may appear to be absolutely studded in expensive gems… but in reality the true value is being obscured by the cwt, or Carat Total Weight, this value is in reference to the TOTAL cumulative weight of the gemstones. So for example, the 63 diamonds CWT is 3.7, so each diamond is only 0.06 ct. so in reality the QUALITY of the dimaonds used is very low, for comparison you can purchase 25 loose diamonds of the same color, carat and clarity for around $50

So after a very novice rough calculation the total value of all the metals and gemstones here dont seem to total over $800. This is why I think the piece was designed to be a symbolic representation to the person who donated the $100,000 to the hospital, rather than a truly $100,000 furby which is why the capped value of the auction is $2,000

Conclusion + opinions

I still think this is an absolute amazing piece of furby history, one that I admittedly was not to familiar with, but was aware of in my deep dives into the furby archived sites, I think that the resurfacing of this piece is a ode to the furby community, and the fact that we are STILL actively learning about undiscovered information relating to Furbys a quarter of a century later! This toy line was only produced for just under 3 years but has provided a trove of information that's out there just waiting to be discovered! 

And with that, ciao
