If you were a kid in the late ’90s like I was, the prospect of reviewing a new Furby is as exciting as it is terrifying. After accidentally killing countless Tamagotchis and Nano pets, when I was 11, I received a Furby of my own after a well-timed Toys-R-Us trip. It was gray with a white belly. I loved it for a good two months before the Furbish nightmares got to me. Eventually, I gifted my Furby to a younger girl whom I knew would love it, then hate it as much as I did. As a jaded college student in 2005, the Furby reboot that year did little to rekindle my interest.
