Tiger Electronics: Furby Toy - 1 of 2 A Furby (plural Furbys or Furbies) was a popular electronic robotic toy resembling a hamster/owl-like creature 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. Furbies sold 1.8 million units in 1998, 14 million units in 1999, and altogether in its three years of original production, Furbies sold over 40 million units. Its speaking capabilities were translated into 24 languages. Furbies 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 Furbies use, but are programmed to speak less Furbish as they gradually start using English. English is learned automatically, and no matter what culture they are nurtured in, they learn English. In 2005, new Furbies were released, with voice-recognition and more complex facial movements, andmany other changes and improvements. The Emoto-Tronic Furbies (Furby, Furby Baby, and Funky Furby) continued to be sold until late 2007, when these toys became extremely rare. Saturday Night Collectibles At My Sis' House: Electronic Imperial AT-AT Walker
My sister, Carolann, and her husband Michael (It's funny, isn't it? I made her life growing up hell for 17 years, and she goes to college, falls in love and marries a guy with the same first name as me - Life is interesting!) have some cool collectible items. I felt like sharing them, since I think they would be of interest to some of you out there, and frankly, if I had the funds, and the space, I'd ship them back home before I return in a few days. This is part of Michael's Star Wars collection. Up until a few years ago, he had an insane amount of Star Wars toys and collectibles, even some dating back to the original figure releases in the late 1970s. Most of the time from 1995-1999 when Sis and Mike lived in San Jose, I'd head out to area stores with Michael to pick up figures and other Star Wars items. AT-AT with two exclusive figures, powered by AA batteries, and plays seven sounds from the films. Michael has TWO of these. I really want one of them for myself...
