Phoebe (Furby Fake)

Phoebe is a 2012 fake Furby made by an unknown company.

Appearance[]

Round, Furby 2012-like body shape with massive feet and rubber ears.

Variants[]

Phoebes were first sold in four colors: white, red, black, and blue. Newer variants of Phoebe might have feature different patterns such as zigzags that resemble the Furby Boom series. Some Phoebes have LCD eyes like the 2012 Furby, and others have LED eyes.

Functions[]

They say phrases from the crazy, grumpy, sweet, normal, and talkative personalities. If you press their tails, they can record what you say in a high-pitched voice. They shake from left to right while moving their beaks when talking. Phoebes speak Furbish, like the real Furbys. They also speak Mandarin according to the packaging.

Trivia[]

In the instruction manual for the Phoebe's and on their boxes, you will realize that Furby's language, "Furbish" is referred to as "Phoebe" instead.
Some Phoebe's are repackaged with the Furby logo on their boxes, despite being knockoffs.
If you were to translate 'Furby' from Chinese (菲比精灵) it would translate to "Phoebe Elf". This could be the reason why this knockoff is called "Phoebe".
A Spanish version of Phoebe's box exists which has the logo in rainbow letters.
It's possible that some versions of Phoebe were sold without fur.
