Hasbro has redesigned the Furby and is releasing it this fall, complete with complementary iOS apps and a re-engineered body.

Maybe an Emic 2 program can teach Furby to speak quicker/better...

    They said it has no OFF switch - I'll bet a hammer would work!

    Dang! I felt old 14 years ago!

    In case anyone wants to get the jump on getting their Emic-2 to talk Furbish:

    Furbish is the Furbies' language, with simple syllables, short words, and various sounds. A newly purchased Furby starts out speaking entirely Furbish. Over time, the Furby gradually replaces Furbish words and phrases with English.
    • wee-tah-kah-loo-loo: Tell me a joke.
    • wee-tah-kah-wee-loo: Tell me a story.
    • wee-tee-kah-wah-tee: Sing me a song.
    • u-nye-loo-lay-doo?: Do you want to play?
    • u-nye-ay-tay-doo?: Are you hungry?
    • u-nye-boh-doo?: How are you?
    • u-nye-way-loh-nee-way: Go to sleep now.
    • u-nye-noh-lah: Show me a dance.
    Furbies may say these Furbish words:
    • doo?: What? (Furbies say this when called)
    • doo-dah: Yes. (Furbies say this in response to a command before doing it.)
    • boo: No. (Furbies say this when they do not want to carry out a command.)
    • yoo?: Why will you not play with me today? (This usually means the Furby is upset.)

    Am I too old or too young? What the hell is a Furby? And why would anyone want one? Would help if I could watch the vid on this phone?

    The original ones were creepy and the new ones with the glow in the dark eyes aren't making things better. I just get the urge to hammer the buggers.
