New, Faster, Better Teddy Ruxpin

Well, it was only a matter of time anyway--Hasbro has introduced a new animatronic Teddy Bear. The bear is equipped with IR sensors, and comes with a lexicon of 160 English words, and as well as "Furbish". This new toy, known as Furby came out today, and is supposed to respond to the environment, forming phrases and sentences from there. The marketing types are saying that multiple Furbys will communicate with each other, and that the animals can be taught tricks. I dunno-I still like Legos, but if they did it with Transformers--well, that's a different story.
