Furby is
back, more Internet-connected than ever and too
cute to resist
Just when you thought
Furby couldn't get any cuter and smarter, it has.
Roughly four years after
Furby underwent a modern reinvention to re-emerge with LED eyes and app-connectivity — and a

Furby Connect, an even

New to the
Furby Connect are full-color LED eyes capable of even greater expressions,
more advanced Bluetooth LE connectivity with smartphones and tablets, and a new LED antenna on its head that doubles as a joystick.

than the original, but I still didn't want to keep it in my home.
