Furby (original)
item #70-800 by Tiger/Hasbro

Oh, my gosh! You can not shut this little creature up! Once you wake him up, that's it. He has a mind of his own...

This is the original 'classic' Furby. They don't respond to voice like the later incarnations, but rather to sound, touch, light and movement. Starting out, they speak a 'language' called Furbish for the most part. As they 'mature,' they start speaking English more than their native language. If you take good care of the latest addition to your family, he will reward you with light conversation and games. He will even talk to other classic Furbies through the heart-shaped IR port between his eyes.

These are extremely hackable - just Google "furby hack" and you'll find plenty to keep you busy for days.
