Get your kids on a leash: Furby pre-orders start via Walmart

Get ready to get creeped out. Furbys are back, and are available for pre-order via industrial-sized retailer, Walmart. The 90s ‘giga-pet’ runaway mega hit is ready to take over the world once again, one spoilt child at a time.

Forget about those Furbys that you used to know. This new one has added personality to truly keep the kids company. The old one could do some neat things, like learn its own name. But the eyes were a bit lifeless and these days a lot more is expected to keep kids entertained.

Bring out the LEDs! The reincarnated Furby has more expressions than a child knows what to do with; from angry to innocent, it will surely teach children a thing or two about emotional instability, if not terrify the parents too. Other features include capacitive touch and an iOS app.

They are available in six different colors and are priced at US$54. If the first generation of Furby was anything to go by, if you want one, order immediately. But whatever you do, do not feed it after midnight.
