Furby Boom Plush Toy (Holiday Sweater Edition)

I got this little guy for my Grandmother. She's cankerous and mean, so I wanted to get her something for Christmas that would give her the simulation of a pet, but with the ability to remove the batteries if need be. A Furby sounded like a perfect option! The only problem with these new fangled Furby Booms are that they would be too high fashion for my granny. With their psychedelic colors and their hip modern patterns. The things practically look like Louis Vuitton bags! So imagine my great joy, when I stumble upon this little guy! with his HOLIDAY SWEATER EDITION coat! Amazing! I was able to give my granny a Furby that was wearing a granny sweater! Match made in heaven. And I never would have found it without Amazon!

I bought this Furby Boomer for my brother -- and it amuses him took! I got this robot pet from my daughter and son in law for Christmas after showing interest in the one buried in my grandaughter's toy box in November. I've never played computer games, but I love this "marvelous little toy." The kids in our family (in the 1950s) spent many hours with our Winnie-the-Pooh-level collection of stuffed toys, and we gave them personalities, stories, had them making up songs, etc. Of course, this self-generated imaginative experience is not the Furby experience, but Furby mimics an engaging personality so well! The photo shows me singing to Furby, which makes him dance vigorously before he says, "Pant, pant, sorry, tired." I'm sorry, however, that the Boomers do not respond to the commands of the earlier editions (e.g., tell me a story, sing "Twinkle twinkle little star). But listening to the little fellow eat, shout "wheee" & squeel, urge me "kah kah more," complement me "kah genius," etc., is pretty winning. So is the responsiveness when I sing music to him and he dances up a storm.

This was a Christmas gift for my 7 year old brother and he absolutely loves it! It is to much fun to watch it sing, dance, fart/burp, and talk! We also downloaded the interactive app so that he can play games, feed, and let his furby use the toilet. The furby is so much fun that my other brother also wanted one, so now that we have 2 they actually talk with each other. And if they ever get annoying we simply pull their tail for a few seconds and they fall asleep! :)

This little furry dude is to cute not to want to play with. I bought it fory grandchildren ages 3-14. My 14 Is hooked on it. If you don't have an app for it on your phone it doesn't give you the full benifit of the interaction with out it. Having another one makes you feel left out when they talk to one another. I found it to be quite amazing. You will be laughing so much it does so many comments. It's like having a small child. You never no what it will say next. So cool! I even like to play with it.

Daughter was so excited when she received this; she can't get enough of it and would love to have more to go with it. This is her first Furby Boom because of the price but got a great deal on it here because it is the sweater addition. It does everything it says and more and has even developed a bit of an attitude. She has the Furbacca Furby that I was able to pick up with this one as for the price, getting two for what the price of one costs was fantastic and let me tell you, this Furby Boom loves being around Furbacca. I had no idea the joy having a Furby boom could bring to a child but I am so glad I purchased it; would definitely recommend and will be buying more in the future. It sings, dances, it speaks and sometimes shows it's disgust or has little tantrums and now it's humming the star wars themes it picked up from the Furbacca. Too funny and if you've never owned one or bought one for your child, please do so; your child will not be disappointed.

I have been looking all over for this TOY I have a 10 year old daughter who adores her grandma and whould do anything for her her grandma is her life her best friend her everything and we each year ask both our kids to write to Santa and tell him what you want but only 3 things (my son is autistic and doesn't understand) but my daughter only asked for TWO THINGS THE FIRST WAS THE MOST IMPOERTANT ONE TO HER AND THAT WAS TO MAKE HER GRANDMA GET BETTER BECAUSE SHE MISSES THE GOOD TIMES WITH HER (my mother was just diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer) and had to grow up really fas and understand what is cancer and all that comes with it she now has lost her hair but my daughter tells her GRANDMA I DONT CARE HOW YOU LOOK I WILL AKWAYS LOVE YOU NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK ITS BEEN VERY HARD FOR HER AND I KNOW IT WILL GET HARDER WHEN SHE IS NO LONGER WITH HER because she is so sick (us) AND THE SECOND WAS A FURBY BUT THE ONE SHE WANTED OF COURSE I COULDNT FIND IT ANYWHERE AND I MEAN ANYWHERE THANK GID I FOUND IT ON AMAZON we count and thank GOD everyday for giving us another day with her. THANK YOU:)) ****NOW WE JUST FOUND OUT TODAY THE SHE HAS KIDNEY FAILURE****** Just one more disappointing news to add to the other :((

Would have been 5 stars if the app wasn't so broken. The Furby itself has been hours and hours of fun for my little girl, the fact it changes it's personality is a nice little feature, so when my kid over fed it, it turned into a lazy slob who farted and belched all day, but with some TLC it returned to normal. The app however is pathetic, I've been unable to get it working on four different devices and the reviews seem to indicate it's a common issue. The furby boom needs the app for many of it's features to work, so without a working app you lose out on a hefty chunk of what was paid for. To sum up, the toy is excellent and well made, but without the app it'll never reach it's full potential.

I was unsure of what to get my 4 yr old for Christmas as her tastes are constantly changing. I took a chance on the Furby since it is interactive and can be taught things. I figured my daughter would get a kick out of it. I was right! Holy cow does she love this thing. She has been playing with it non-stop since Christmas. We downloaded the Furby Boom app on my iPad so she could do even more with it. Well, I pretty much shot myself in the foot because she has commandeered my iPad and I am never getting it back it seems. The Furby is very chatty and learns to speak English the more you interact with it. I love that you can alter the personality based on how it is treated and that you can really do so much more with the app. It reminds me of the Tamagotchi pets that we had as kids and boy did I love those! I absolutely recommend this product. It has made my child smile and laugh and that is worth it!
