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.
