If you lived through the 90s, then you'll either have owned a Furby or know someone who had one. Heck, you couldn't go anywhere without seeing these little creatures staring at you out of shop windows, and they've become an iconic mascot for our childhoods. I can remember when I watched The Mitchells vs the Machines for the first time on Netflix and saw the giant Furby - it's a phenomenon that will never disappear.
The fact that they had their own language was wild too, and although they couldn't talk or listen to you like your phone or Alexa does (think about how we worried about Furbys back in the day, but openly have these devices everywhere in our houses now), they were must-have toys that we all loved.
To celebrate 30 years of this iconic toy, LEGO Ideas builder Rancor1138 has brought back a previous design in a new revision that has finally captured the spirit of the Furby perfectly. With movable eyes and mouth, massive ears, and a LEGO exterior that manages to capture the fuzzy fur these little critters were so known for, this 1,700-piece set certainly looks the part.
And as for the Easter Eggs, well, there's a little agent inside the Furby's head to play off the theory that Furby's were actually spying on us. There's also the Furby's heart, which is perhaps what we all remember the most about these loving little tykes from the 90s.
This Furby LEGO set has the LEGO Ideas 'Staff Pick' seal of approval, so there's a very good chance that it can go the distance. It's still got 562 days left to go and already has 2,659 of the 10,000 supporters it needs. So if you want to make this Furby set a reality, head over to the official project page and support Rancor1138 for free!
