Yoda Furbies?

A Furby You Seek, Hmmm?
Wired News Report

12:00 p.m. 20.Apr.99.PDT
Luke Skywalker better get ready to take Jedi lessons from a Furby.

Tiger Electronics, the company that created the immensely popular Furby, is set to release an Interactive Yoda around September. If the Yoda toy
proves anywhere near as popular as the Furby was last Christmas, the little guys may be almost impossible to get. Already, scores of customers
have bid on pre-sell offers on Amazon.com and eBay at prices from US$39 to over $60.

Company spokeswoman Lana Simon stressed that the toy is not a Furby. Well, not exactly.

"This is an interactive toy that utilizes Furby technology," Simon said. "It will react to its surroundings and will talk."

But Simon is mum on exactly what the Interactive Yoda will say.

"It will be very Yoda-like, that's all I can tell you," Simon said.
