  • "Furby" is an American electronic robotic toy that was originally released in 1998 by Tiger Electronics; resembling a hamster or owllike creature. Over 40 million Furbys were sold during the three years of its original production (1.8 million sold in 1998, and 14 million in 1999); consisting of eight generations, special editions and contest prizes. Its speaking capabilities were translated into 24 languages, but originally only spoke "Furbish", the unique language that all Furbies speak. Dave Hampton and Caleb Chung created the Furby, invited fellow toy and game inventor Richard C. Levy to join their efforts to sell Furby to Tiger Electronics (Tiger's Roger Shiffman bought the rights). Furby's first public appearance was at the American International Toy Fair in 1998. Furbies can communicate with one another via an infrared port located between their eyes. A simple electric motor and a system of cams and gears close the Furby's eyes and mouth, raise its ears, and lift it off the ground in a faux display of mobility. In 1999, the "Furby Babies" line was introduced. Furby Babies are smaller than the original, have higher voices, and cannot dance, but they switch to speaking English more quickly. They also have an extended vocabulary and different "Easter eggs" and "games" built into them. Furby Babies come in 24 different colors. All have white eyelashes and one of six different eyecolors.
  • Tiger Electronics Ltd. (a subsidiary of Hasbro since 1998) was an independent American toy manufacturer best known for its handheld electronic games, the Furby, the Talkboy, Giga Pets, the 2-XL robot, and audio games such as Brain Warp and the Brain Shift. When it was an independent company, its headquarters were in Vernon Hills, Illinois. Hasbro, previously shy of high-tech toys, was interested in the development of the Furby. With Hasbro's support, Tiger was able to rush through the development process and get the Furby on the shelves for the 1998 holiday season, during which it was a runaway hit; the "it" toy of the 1998 and 1999 seasons. The continuing development of Furby-type technology led to the release of the FurReal line of toys in 2003, the more modern iteration of the Furby toyline in 2012, and also the high-tech Furby Connect in 2016.
