Okay, so I got a Furby Connect today. I bought this for half the retail price on an Amazon Warehouse Deal. As I understood it was used but almost-new condition. Like, it's supposed to just have "slightly damaged packaging" and "minor cosmetic imperfection(s)"...But I can't find a single thing wrong when it comes to the outside appearance.
I'm meaning to make a toy review on this one for my country's parents, but before I do - as this came to me used/more or less damaged - I'd really like to know if this guy is actually working correctly...
Questions:
- Is he supposed to recognise any music played or just songs from the Connect World App? I think his comments became more music and dance related when I played Michael Jackson's songs for him but I'm not sure because he didn't actually begin to dance to the beat of the songs or really move around much at all. Just mostly babbled about dancing, moves and music.
- Also, what is "talking to furby" supposed to do here? As, unlike the EmotoTronic Furby from 2005, this one can't actually understand your words. So whty talk to him at all?
- I'm not supposed to feed him every time he claims to be starving? Because he's been complaining about terrible hunger a lot and I've always fed him with my finger, but now he's throwing up a lot, sneezing a lot, and actually mentioned something about being sick and not feeling well...And I'm guessing I can't help him without the App.
- So...99% of the play value and function comes from the Connect World App?
(Which I can't use as it's not available in my country, for some crazy reason, so the review will have to wait. The two previous 2010s' furbies' apps are available so I'm hopeful this one's will be too.)
