      Tips

      • Sometimes, especially with the older Furbys, you will get them and they won't work. This is because the motor gets stuck from not being used for so long. This is an easy fix. If your Furby is an original Furby, than simply insert a small screwdriver above Furby's beak and turn it to the left until your Furby comes to life!
