Yes, Furbies still exist and have recently made a significant return! Everyone's favorite (or least favorite) nonsense-spouting, fuzzy, chatterbox hamster-owl-creature-thing has been redesigned and rereleased.
The Return of Furby
After a hiatus, the iconic toy has been brought back by Hasbro to celebrate its 25-year anniversary. This new generation of Furbies combines nostalgic charm with updated features, appealing to both original fans and a new generation of kids.
What's New with the Redesign?
The latest iteration of Furby maintains its signature interactive and evolving personality, but with some notable improvements based on user feedback from previous versions. One of the most anticipated additions is a feature many previous owners wished for:
- An Off Switch: This new design includes a much-requested off switch, allowing for moments of quiet when needed.
- Interactive Features: While exact new features beyond the off switch aren't detailed, Furbies are known for their ability to learn phrases, respond to touch and sound, and interact with each other.

The redesigned Furbies are readily available for purchase, making it easy for enthusiasts and newcomers to get their hands on one.
