Hasbro's Furby Now Speaks Furbish
- USA Today, Thursday, December 20, 2012 10 AM
Hasbro's Furby plush creatures are evolving. The Furbies talk Furbish, for instance. The Furby, back from a decade-long vacation, was on the "hot toy" lists this season. The original Furby brought the second-largest toymaker about $500 million and was 10% of Hasbro's sales. The Furby is $54, can be used with iPhones, iPads and Android phones to translate what the upgraded robotic toy is saying, and is expected to help Hasbro reverse its revenue decline this year.
