Which Furby should you pick?

Five families, very different sizes. Here's how we'd sort them if a grown-up asked us, which they often do.

For a main gift

Hey Furby is the classic: voice activated, bilingual and over six inches tall. Choose it for a child of six or older who wants a toy that talks back. Coats differ, the features inside are the same, apart from Galaxy's glow in the dark.

For kids who love music

DJ Furby is 32 inches long and built for cuddling and making tracks. Furby Vibes is the pick for kids who like dress-up: the glasses change the game.

For pocket money and party bags

Furblets cost a fraction of a full-size Furby, include batteries and clip to a bag. Two-packs make an easy shared gift. DJ Furblets add the stretch-to-remix trick.

For collectors and desks

Minis are silent one-inch figures, and the Forever Collector 5-Pack is for anyone who met us in 1998.
