Even though in most of your conformation letters I announced that the
newsletter would begin this Saturday, news of this importance must be sent
out quickly :)

This news comes straight from Kat the webmaster, as a special notice to all
Furby Post Subscribers, enjoy! 

New Furby:
This afternoon I was told that K B Toys has a new Furby, exclusivly being
sold at K B Toys and K B Toys online web site (www.kbtoys.com).  The Furby
is called Patriotic Furby, with fur in the colors of the US flag.  While we
might not all be from the US, this is sure to be a collectors item!

Here is the description directly from KB Toys website:
"Just in time for the 4th of July, it's Patriotic Furby. That's right, Furby
is full of the American Spirit. Patriotic Furby is dressed in a crown and
red, white and blue fur with a fun star pattern. Patriotic Furby even
carries a torch, just like the Statue of Liberty. Plus, Patriotic Furby
still does all the wonderful tricks that have made Furby the world's most
popular electronic, interactive pet. Get in the American Spirit, get your
very own Patriotic Furby, exclusively from KB Toys! Batteries sold
separately. Ages 6 and up."
