NUMBER 1 = Furby

Furby The Furby was first out in 1998, which makes it rather embarrassing to admit that I had one, I was 18! I was so sure that I was younger, but anyway, it was a huge success and they have decided to re-vamp it and bring it out again this Christmas. 

To be completely honest I think the new one actually looks quite tacky in comparison with it's bright block colours, I like the white and black ones though, buy hey these are meant for kids not me! The 2012 version has more voices, apps like meals to feed your Furby and a translator from Furbish to English, it also comes in an array of colours white, yellow, red, teal (blue), black and a pink/purple mix. 

The LED eyes are a great new feature as it makes the Furby seem more emotional. The Furby is an interactive toy that you can play with, the way that you treat it supposed to be how it forms it's personality so this is a great educational toy for kids without them even feeling like they are learning! 

 Your Furby will start off speaking in it's own language called Furbish, the more you talk to it in English, the more it will pick up our language and start to speak it. It can also eat by using an app, it's eyes will have fire in them if you feed it hot chillies!!! 

 This is defiantly an alternate to a child that wants a pet for Christmas. A big warning though, this is set to sell out so get it while you can, if you can't afford it, or you missed out and there are none left then check out the cheaper alternatives below.
