## ADVISORY/Furby: the Toy Phenom Gives "Birth" to Furby Babies Sextuplets Tuesday, Aug. 31 At TOYS R US - Herald Square

Proud Furby Parents Show Off Newest Members of the Furby Family!

    WHAT:    Be the first to meet the Furby Babies!
             Furby Babies are cute, petite versions of Furby with their
             own baby-like colors and personalities. Like their
             "parents", Furby Babies are animatronic plush pets that are
             able to interact with the environment. Furby Babies have
             moving eyes, ears and mouths. Furby Babies will be able to
             communicate and interact with other Furby Babies and
             grown-up Furbys through the use of infrared technology and
             will also speak Furbish and English. In fact, Furby Babies
             will even "learn" to speak English faster and have their
             very own baby Furbish-English phrases and words . Furby
             Babies are available in six new fur patterns:
             pink/white/blue, blue/white/pink, peach/white, mint
             green/white, yellow/orange and solid white. Each of these
             fur patterns are available in four different eye colors:
             blue, green, gray and brown.

             Furby Babies will have lifelike baby responses like going to
             sleep right after eating, always wanting to play, needing to
             be burped after a feeding, rocked to sleep and more!
             Suggested retail: $29.99.
