We didn't ask for and didn't need this.. I think companies are banking on the nostalgia of 80s to early 00s kids. And I also think it is working lol

Furbys are awful nightmare fuel (and apparently there was a furby board game at one point), but I'll gladly take some non-nightmare fuel nostalgia from the 90s - early 00s
