Hey, Nineties kids! As we’re all getting older, our beloved Furbies are as well: Thousands and thousands of Furbies are now approaching menopause, and it’s affecting everyone around them.
“I’ve owned and sold over a hundred Furbies since they launched in 1998,” says Miranda Collins, a toy collector. “And nearly all of them have grown moody, erratic, and depressed in the past year or two, signaling a massive change in their body that will hopefully subside soon.”
Wow! Those furry little creatures sure have grown up – and are slowly losing their reproductive capacity! Several other collectors have noticed a change among their Furbies, including night sweats, hot flashes, and a reduced sex drive. “We don’t really know when this will be over,” added Miranda. “But we definitely will all breathe a sigh of relief when it finally is. Several of my Furbies just won’t stop crying.” This news sure left us Millennials fumbling for our calcium supplements!
I got the joke, but I didn’t think about furbies having different life cycles. You’ve got a good point.
Makes me sad that this implies your Furby is likely to die before you do.
