Gizmo just got here- and he flew to my house all the way from Hawaii!
Skinning this Furby was by far the most challenging thing I’ve done in this hobby to date, his skeleton is such a funny shape with glue in all the worst places. But! He has been freed and now he shall bathe.
He also has one of the worst cases of corrosion I’ve seen so far, but I’m going to try my best to scrub it away and get him working. I really wanna hear his voice; Howie Mandel from Deal or No Deal voiced him!
More updates to come.

Plushified ✨️
I recently plushified a furby for the very first time!
The eyes and mouth are somewhat posable. They're a bit stiff to move but still function!
This is Omen, btw, my very first furby! He was semi, almost non-functioning when I first purchased him. Over time, I began fiddling away at his mechanics. Eventually, it got to the point where he was taken apart far more than he was assembled. I even started repurposing some of his mechanisms for other furbies, his eyelashed were even replaced... poor Omen...
Plushifying seemed like a perfect solution for him. Now he's soft and light, but most importantly, they are assembled again.

Refurb!
You may recognize them from the bath Baby pic lol
They were in desperate need of a makeover
I wanted to do a very ambitious over haul and get this guy in working condition... but the world had other plans...
Its battery corrosion was bad. I spent a total of 2 hours ish just scrubbing away at it, but sadly, it still could not turn on :(
I tried push starting, and still nothing.
While the shell was still off, I figured I wanted to take the faceplate apart and get access to the eye lids to replace the eyelashes. Oh.My.God.
For the life of me, I could not get this eye rod out. I had to remove the ear pieces to get enough access, and it! Was! Stuck! There was no way the eye rod was coming out.
I had to find a way to replace the lashes non-invasively. Tacky glue on the top band of the lash and curved tweezers worked well.
It took a lot of finessing but inserting the lash between the lid and eye and gently pressing upwards to secure it worked.
Then I let it dry, lying on its back so the glue couldn't slide and stick to the eye. It's tacky glue, so even if it did, it would be an easy removal.
Overall, it's not the complete refurbishment I envisioned, but they are all cleaned up regardless, and I couldn't be happier with it.
They're going to get a little costume as well, so I'll be looking for name suggestions in the future!

Bath Baby Updates
Peach Cobbler, Baby Powder, and Montana are officially washed, dried, and reassembled!
The lighting in my room makes the differences hard to see, but they are so much cleaner now :)
Since I had got them from sellers online, they sat on my display shelf v dirty. They were long over due for a good wash, who knows where'd they'd been lol
Peach Cobbler was probably the least dirty of the lot. Now she's pristine
Baby Powder, being a snowball, visibly gets dirty faster and easier than the others. She was grey before but now she lives up to her name.
Montana was the dirtiest one lol grimy, matted fur, and dried brown stuff on the back.
He was non functional bc of battery corrosion but I got him working. His motor was very shrieky. I managed to grease it enough to reduce the shrill sound, but the motor and gears are still loud. He will probably remain w/o batteries.
Any who, they're all clean and can be enjoyed off the shelf. I love washing and fixing furbies, something about that scene in toy story two when Woody is getting repaired OR the opening scene of Coraline.
Some day, I swear I'll do a proper introduction of my collection, but until then, you guys will just get soft launched one each time I post.

Rainbow Furby Deepdive
Now that I've decided my website is a sea slug fansite (long story) I don't have anywhere to put my rainbow furby research. I considered putting it in a youtube video, but decided to post it to tumblr instead.
Anyway, here it is! The forbidden furby lore.
On the 14th of June 2016 supersonicmario0770 made a post on the adoptafurby forums. The thread was titled "Rainbow Furby?" and included a link to an archived ebay listing.
"I have never seen one of these before or where it came from. I can't find it when I look it up, no sign of it anywhere online but this ebay listing. It's pink with rainbow ears, hair, and chest."
At first most forum members thought it was a customized furby with dyed fur, although some thought it could be an unknown prototype.
While the ebay listing is unarchived, we know roughly what it said.
On the 15th aibo7m3 posted this:
"I would err on the side of caution and and say that it's probably a custom too, but the seller's story is that this furby was an employee gift given to some of the members at tiger electronics (including her husband)."
Two weeks later on July 6th furbyandchips made a forum post, providing pictures of their own rainbow furby.
"My friend bought me the other rainbow furby the seller on ebay was selling. Identical to this one. I do not believe it to be fake or custom made.
I have inspected it closely and the bottom of the box was open, so the inside cardboard can be removed, but the furby is still attached to the cardboard and didn't look tampered with.
All tags are present and in mint condition. Everything is as it should be and looks like it was made in a factory and not customized by someone.
The seller told my friend the same story which I believe to be true going by the fact the other furby she bought with it was only furby number 4 of that release, which makes me think it could of been someone who worked for tiger to have such a early one.
This furby is in a regular box but if you look at some of the other special editions they too were in regular boxes."
Three years later, on the 19th of January 2019 furbyandchips provided an update on their website heyfurby.com.
"Hello Furby Fans! To start off our new blog, I thought I would write about a very interesting Furby in our collection. I do not know her Furby name as I have never switched her on, she is still attached to the cardboard base from the factory. We decided to name her May May, which means Love ;-)
A good friend found May May on Ebay America and I have never seen another furby like her. A while ago I posted about May May on a furby forum to try and find out some information about her, but no one there had ever seen or heard of this furby. I'm not sure which generation she is, if she is a prototype, limited edition or something very special. She has all tags present and looks to be an Official Furby Release.
Looking at the photo you will see she has rainbow eyelashes and a purple face plate, unlike any other furby. She also has rainbow pattern ears, mane and belly.
Her colours are amazing and I wonder if there are any more around like her. We will always treasure May May and hope to eventually find out more information about her. Stay tuned!"
furbyandchips quickly provided an update on the 21st.
In this post, furbyandchips described searching the wayback machine for furby.com articles, finding what they were looking for on a page titled 'news updates'.
From the 9th of November 1999 until the 1st of August 2000 a competition to design a furby took place on the back of Post brand cereals. Children 17 and under were asked to color in their own furby design, and send their entry in the mail by the 1st of August 2000. Twelve designs at random would then be selected and posted on furby.com where a winner could be voted by the public.
The winner was Brittany from Missouri, who won a trip to the furby design studio in Illinois, as well as recieving their own furby.
However, furbyandchips was still left with some unanswered questions.
"So it turns out that this is in fact an official Furby-Tiger Release! (some doubted this on AdoptaFurby Forum). I wonder if 'Brittany from Missouri' still has her Rainbow Furby? Also were any of the other 12 entries created?
As far as I know, there are only two Rainbow Furby's in existence. The one that I own, and the other one the original seller (maybe) still has? After some more detective work, I found out the other rainbow Furby had a highest bid of $525.00 before the seller chose to end the auction early! I can only guess they had a change of heart and wanted to keep it."
Eight months later, on the 11th of august 2019 an update was posted on the private facebook group Furby Collectors.
"Hi guys! I'm brand new to this group, and while I'm not a “collector” per-se, i am very proud of this furry rainbow dude right here. He's one of three in existence, made in 2000 when i was just 10 years old. i just so happened to be the lucky winner of a coloring “design your own Furby” contest hosted by Post cereals back in the day. i was flown to Rhode Island with my family and allowed to tour the Hasbro factory, meeting the artists, getting sneak peaks into prototype toys to come, and got to meet the CEO himself! He presented to me, in a formal greeting ceremony, with three of the Furbies I'd designed as a little girl. One to play with (kept outside of the box), one to keep sealed, and one they put into their archives. i felt ike a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Truly a dream come true for a kid. Sadly, when i was 16 years old, 13 years ago now, my boxed Furby was stolen from me and sold by my late older brother who had been battling an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking addiction. I've come to terms with it over the years, but have always wondered what happened to the rainbow siblings of this furry cutie. I'd seen images posted online of an Ebay listing with one of the sibling Furbies before but have not discovered much more about their fates. thought I'd reach out here and give a bit of backdrop to this weird story in hopes i may learn something! Here I've included a goofy photo of my multicolored friend from recently and a clipping of the arcticle written from when i was an excited 10 year old girl!"
This still leaves some questions. If the other furby furbyandchips's friend bought was number four, then why would the facebook poster believe there to be only three in existance, why would furbyandchip's believe only two to exist, and why would the original ebay seller say their husband recieved two as an employee gift?
We can most likely rule out the brother making both ebay listings, since he only had access to one furby.
Could there be more rainbow furbies that we don't know of?
If you have any more information on this furby, please get in touch! I tracked down the news article the original creator was mentioned in, but I needed a newspaper.com subscription to view it so I wasn't able to get further information from that. I also wasn't able to check the facebook group for further updates as I don't use facebook.
If anyone has pictures of the back of the rainbow furby and can share them, that would be appreciated!
Here's some more images:

oh wow! poor guy is in desperate need of a bath and a thorough scrub... maybe two.
Whenever I browse ebay I always wonder how exactly some furbs got so dirty. he’s def got a story lol
Big Baby Bath Day!
All three of my babies got a wash today, as well as an elephant model I'm currently refurbishing. Some of these guys were probably the grodiest of my collection... now they're thoroughly scrubbed and now in a fabric softener bath.
Primary needed some extra TLC, he was the dirtiest and non-working. The battery compartment was lightly corroded, so I used some vinegar, and he began working. His motor was VERY shrieky, so I went to take him apart to apply some grease.
Interestingly, I found some paper inside—
I've never seen that before! I'm not sure why it's there, but I kept on since it wasn't obtrusive.

Had a good laugh when I opened my dryer and saw them sitting up right. They're just hanging out!
Our new dryer has an air-dry setting that doesn't heat during the cycle. Furby fur safe!
