Seven years after the release of the emototronic Furby's in 2005, another Furby was released. However, this Furby had multiple personalities, LCD eyes with various eye animations in them, an app to interact with, and a tail which could cause Furby to react when it was pulled.
Release
This Furby model was released on September 16th, 2012 in USA. Reception had been very positive, with many critics stating it was the best Furby yet.

- Crazy Personality - Comedic funny and male personality. Furby will often have laughing fits over almost anything. Get by shaking and pulling it's tail. It will laugh like crazy.
- Default Personality - Ambiguous personality. Loosely resembles 1998 Furby personality, calm and friendly. Only can get it when you put the batteries in for the VERY first time.
