* CreatorBacklash: Hasbro has been acting as if the 2005 Furby never existed, most likely due to it being not as successful as Hasbro hoped. Any time the 2012-present Furby [[https://orig15.deviantart.net/6794/f/2012/256/4/e/old_furby_vs_new_furby_by_legoman824-d5ejgp9.jpg is compared with older ones]], it's only compared with the original (and more-remembered) 1998 Furby.

* KidsMealToy: Several with [=McDonald's=], nickenamed [=McFurbys=] by fans. Of the more notable releases:
** 1999: a total of 80 collectible Furbys were released, consisting of 8 different figure templates in 10 different color schemes for each.
** 2000: Two different plush lines -- one for the US market with 12 varieties, and one for the UK with four. The UK would also see talking Furby and Shellby figurines that could interact with each other like the full-sized toys. The US would see both the talking Shellby, and a different Furby figurine see releases as part of a more generic tie-in based on Tiger Electronics's overall output.
** 2012 to Present: Several plush toys of the Furby Boom and Furby Connect lines would be released.
** In 2019, to mark the 40th anniversary of the Happy Meal, a Furby would see release as part of the celebration alongside other previous promotions including ''Advertising/McDonaldland'', ''Film/SpaceJam'', ''Toys/{{Tamagotchi}}'', ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', ''Franchise/HelloKitty'' and ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996''.

* ActorAllusion: One reaction the 1998 Furby has to being tickled is to sometimes laugh like WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}. Furby's voice actor, the late Tony Pope, also voiced Goofy back in the 70s and 80s.
