UPDATE!!!!! Ok, so in a last effort attempt at fixing our second Furby Boom, we decided to try a brand new set of Duracell AA batteries. The box does say "use Duracell" -- well who knew it would make such a difference!!! We were using Energizer before and having all kinds of issues... apparently all you need is a set of new Duracell batteries and it works perfectly! Problem solved! Yay! Our Furby is back!!!!! :)
This was my first original post:
This little guy is great... very versatile and funny... sadly ours quit working after only a week. It started to sound distorted, like static interference, so I thought it needed new batteries. We replaced the batteries, and although it came back to life, it was no longer speaking. It was moving and acting like it was speaking, mouth moving and eyes lighting up with expression, but no sounds were coming out. I looked online for answers, and a lot of other people were having the same issue. There are a few things to try, such as holding down the refresh button and holding down the tongue at the same time -- that worked for other issues, but not for us in regards to talking again. You can also try holding it upside down, pulling the tail and holding down the tongue -- this was helpful for when our Furby somehow changed voices from the cute, sweet female voice to a weird, older kid sounding male voice... but nothing we tried was able to bring back the voice. I contacted Hasbro and they said that they are unable to offer any other troubleshooting advice.
For this toy being so expensive, you would think that it would last longer than a week -- or at least have some troubleshooting ideas to make it work again... so far we have returned the first one that we purchased at Walmart on clearance ($45) and sadly we will have to return this guy on Amazon as well. From the very beginning, this one has sounded distorted and will randomly shut off. So sad!
OH -- and my son LOVES this toy. He just turned 9yrs old and he is high functioning autistic. It is a great gift, but I'm not sure if we will find one that will work... and continue working!
Hope my review helps! Hopefully if you buy one, yours will not be faulty! :)
