If you were a 90s kid then it's highly likely that one Christmas when opening your presents you discovered that Santa had brought you something called a Furby.

I'm not exactly down with the kids so I don't know how popular they are these days, but back in my youth there were a few years where theyreally were all the rage.

Released in 1998, the Furby was the must-have toy for Christmas in 98 and 99.

After three years 40 million Furbies had been sold and there was a very good reason for this, they could speak and you could teach them to talk.
