Furby is back and not only makes children's hearts beat faster at Christmas: the funny, soulful and cheeky friend, with whom you can dance, talk, sing and do much more, has celebrated his return this year. Our KronePlus subscribers now have the chance to win one of the interactive cult furry creatures before Christmas!

Who can still remember Frufoo, lava lamps and Tamagotchis? Or Diddl sheets that were meticulously organized, collected with passion and swapped with excitement in the school playground? Things from the 90s bring back many memories.

Taking the world by storm
A hairy toy from the turn of the century has made a brilliant comeback this year: Furby. Since its crazy introduction in 1998, Furby has taken the world by storm and influenced every corner of the cultural zeitgeist, from music to TV and film. In the late 90s, at a time of great digital change, Furby instantly became one of the biggest and most iconic product launches in the toy world. Over 40 million units were sold worldwide in the first three years.

With its realistic wiggling ears, expressive eyes and its own language called Furbish, Furby was more than just a toy: it was a personality that was meant to give the impression of being alive. Furby sparked a collector craze that drove up auction prices, and was even banned from the National Security Agency (NSA) compound in Maryland.

Furby was cool, cute and adorably quirky - a combination that children and the world needed. Over the years, Furby has remained a unique symbol of self-expression for fans around the world. And that's thanks to the immense and growing fan base that has turned Furby from a toy into an imaginative brand that represents a lifestyle all of its own.

Discover more than 600 reactions
The new edition of Hasbro's popular furry creature also has it all. The ultimate interactive toy friend has 5 voice-controlled modes. There are more than 600 reactions to discover, including lights, sounds and 10 unique songs. Want to speak a secret language that only you and your best friend can understand? Do you want to perform a dance? Do you need a moment to relax and recharge your batteries? Furby can do all that and much more. With 5 commands, you can tell Furby directly what you're in the mood for - "dance party", "babble", "clairvoyance", "let's chill" or "light show" - for an unforgettable time that suits every mood and atmosphere.

Furby also responds to hugs, cuddles such as fur combing and tummy tickling as well as feeding with the included pizza tags - yummy! Of course, children can also style Furby with the included badge beads and fashion accessories. The more playtime children spend with Furby, the more fun he can unlock.

Furby is suitable for girls and boys aged 6 and over and makes a great gift as well as a fun companion for children.(Bild: Hasbro)
