Electronics Times, April 16, 2001
Furby creator Tiger Electronics has unveiled its next-generation smart toy, Shelby. The talking clam has 70% more vocabulary and 50% more memory than Furby. It also has three times the number of phrases and, like Furby, it responds to its surroundings through light, sound and touch. Roger Shiffman, CEO of Tiger Electronics, said: "Millions were wowed by Furby. Furby instantly captured people's attention. Shelby has the same magic." That may be, Mr Shiffman, but he also has the same basic appearance as a monster from a Roger Corman film.
