I'm assuming this is what they had in mind for the new Furby, at an early point in development. The pictures on Logica Design's website of this type of Furby have "2021" in their file names.
At this point, I have gathered a pattern outline for this e-book.
As of right now, I have five items drafted (not final or written mind you) and plans for one more that'll serve as an easy starter project for complete knitting newbies to learn about stitch gauge (really important for furby items), how to cast on, join in the round, knit, and cast off in a shorter period of time while still having an end product for your furb.
NOTES ON LEARNING TO KNIT
This will not be a 'learning to knit from scratch book' it is intended as a pattern book that is accessible to all levels of knitter and all budgets. I do intend on having a starting chapter that will walk through supplies, pattern layout, and resources for readers.
That being said, this pattern collection could be a good way to learn knitting as the items are smaller but with standard yarn. and the patterns going in order of difficulty should be helpful.
I am one for making it work so I also want to provide guides for yarn substitutions, altering pieces that are too big, and editing patterns to make completely new pieces.
ON TO THE PATTERNS
the first pattern is not drafted so this is patterns 2-6 ( more may come soon or these may be different in their final written form)
2. CHONK SWEATER
i have a few of these made in my handspun so they're p chonky, making it a quick knit even for beginners. there will be notes on measuring your furb and getting your stitch count based on your gauge.
3. CHONK shawl/ collar/ cape
This is also really simple and quick ( its slightly more difficult due to it being knit flat and needing to do some seeming. This is also in some chunky handspun and needs to be sampled again (this one is a tad small). I will give notes on changing the length to make this a collar, a cape, or a shawl to fit your furbs needs.
4. Worsted weight dress
This iconic witchy sweater dress is where the difficulty increases a tad, but the result is having more room to customize the garment. it is in a worsted weight so smaller yarn but not tiny. it does involve increasing and decreasing in ribbing which isn't hard but can have a learning curve. this pattern will include instructions on making the folded collar and accessorizing the garment.
5. Frilly Shawl/ cape/ collar
This pattern is a sister pattern to the 3rd pattern, it's the same garment type but is a bit more involved. it uses fingering weight and optional mohair for a fuzzy look. this starts flat and is joined in the round to do ribbing, and then stitches on the end are picked up and increased to create a frill/ floof thing.
6. Clown collar
this final pattern uses the same yarns, and techniques as the last pattern but in a different way. this pattern uses some seaming techniques and requires a folded hem (knit or sewn together). this can have as few as one frill and as many as you desire.
The mohair isn't held double so yarn subs will be a bit harder but not impossible. I'm trying to keep all of these yarns to ones that can be picked up at a big box craft store or an lys for accessibility but Mohair maybe the one outlier, but if the halo from the silk mohair isn't necessary for you then a fingering weight (4-ply ) should be okay.
Anyway thats the outline that i have so far, let me know what you think!
Suggested to a friend (as a laugh) that I should make a scarf with a furby face on bit, they were surprisingly into it so I whipped up a chart to see what it would look like. Tempted to try it! These wouldn't be the final colours mind
Thank you SO MUCH to @ssm0770 for finding and sharing a document containing product names, from a French Hasbro website! (archived link)

The other two unrevealed Furblets meant to be a part of this wave could be Greenie Meanie and May-May (unless they're going to be different; Idk).
Wave 3
Wave 1 and 2 consist of 6 Furblets, but the document reveals the names of seven other Furblets. SSM0770 mentioned Sno-Way is a seasonal Furblet (the document mentions a pack of two seasonal Furblets, and the existence of a spring Furblet, so Sno-Way could be considered separate from wave 3? Don’t know for sure if Sno-Way is included in that pack). None of the names listed below are mentioned on Entertainment Earth's website for wave 2.
