Furby Mechanical Teardown - Nightmare Fuel.... 

Imagine if it started saying "I'm cold, give me back my skin!"

Actually I feel like this help demystify Furby and make it less creepy. There are a lot of sophisticated and tightly packed mechanisms in that thing-I am impressed! Now if we can get a techy to show us how the motherboard works, we could redeem ourselves from childhood trauma with these things.

I'm really impressed that they were able to pack all these different movements (eyes back and forth, blinking, talking, smile/frown, moving eyebrows, moving the ears, and moving the feet) with just a single motor. 7 or 8 different animated parts, which all have the illusion of being independent of one another, on one motor. Some really great engineering behind these. If you would have asked me prior to seeing this teardown how these worked, I definitely would have guessed that it used many different servos.

Hey man- I actually collect these! Thank you so much for your video! Had to repair a rare&a shattered one, so your tear down helped a ton!!!

9:21 last thing you see and hear in bed when the nightmare killer gets you

I showed my furby this.....hes planning revenge....but a small problem is.....he is a partyrocker wich means he is very small. Also we live in the netherlands and idk how long those small plush feet will survive.

9:22 the face I made while watching this video.

To anyone wondering, it’s the 2005 redesign version, which is also widely known in the furby community for being one of the most awful and terrifying models ever.

I feel like the most interesting part would have been examining the circuit board components

Those triangular head screws don't need to be Dremeled. You just need a flat blade screwdriver with a small tip that will fit into the long edge of the triangle. They'll spin right out, easy as.

Am impressed by how they could put all the sensors to the body.And thank u for showing the mehnism

I find them less scary taking apart Then again spore creatures aren’t that different

The way they drive both legs and mouth is brilliant

All furbies are cute but not when there skinned

I've had 2 2012 ones and my sister has had a (I think) 2012 and a connect The digital eye furbys are the creepiest things when they die and they don't just stare they stare with gigantic pitch black eyes staring into your soul as they do whatever creepy thing is standard with a dying furby

You have a gem there pal, thats a rare one in general let alone with an intact beak

I love technology! I really enjoyed this video

So funny! And creepy!

Great video :) its been super helpful while repairing my furbiesss. Also: That furb is worth $150-$200 in working condition now :')

I would honestly use this stuff to make a mini animatronic or a puppet 0.0

Does anyone know how to repair a 2005 furby with possible motor issues? It seems like the motor is overworking as it keeps talking and moving its eyes, mouth and ears nonstop.

9:22 shocked furby

Lol I screen shoted the furbanator and made it my wallpaper, it’s a masterpiece thank you

loved this video!! i’m actually needing help, i’ve found a spring which has came out of my 2005 furby. her mouth is always open ( assume something has broken ) and her tickle sensor does not work. do you recall seeing a spring of some sort? couldn’t seem to see in the video:) i collect these so any help i’d be grateful of!!

Now it's gonna come to you at night and see what's inside of you. Also how was it able to make the sounds after you cut the speaker wire?

sadly you NOT even took a second to show us the electronics.. i would love to see, what ICs and Chips were on it, or what kind of microcontroller they used. bit of reengineering..

At 9:19, that Furby’s face reminds me of Crow from MST3K.

LOVE IT MAN. Please keep making teardown videos. Really insightful.

its a mechanical marvel for a toy

My furby boom watched this. He is mad. But he won't come after you. So don't worry :)

great video! Guess they don't get demon possessed after all? ;) So what did the long red and black wires go to on the opposed end from where they were glued? I didn't see you mention that in the video? What was point of them leaving the wires long and wrapping them up in the case? Programing or maybe power while being quality checked? Just seems odd to leave those there like that instead of just clipping them off short if not needed or fully desoldering them from the board...

Why am I watching this? Not sure , but it’s good 😂

9:20 it’s a endo furby

7:10 It realised that it has been taken apart

The thing that makes it less creepy is that atleast its cpu and code is based on 6502 instructions

this guys underated asf he should have like 100k subs lol

I have a Champagne Spanish speaking Furby. I saw the wires leading from the reset button to the battery posts needed to be resoldered and I was able to do that, but then something weird happened. It speaks fine, but won't move. I have no idea if another wire that's for movement has detached somewhere. Can you help me with this issue? Thank you

What was the purpose of the winding wire on the left and right sides? Nobody can give an answer. Are these antennas? Is this a capacitive sensor? It was believed that Furby could listen to a room and transmit sound over a distance.

Be cool to see some mods and or new replacement parts with 3d printing fairly accessible now and some sort of AI added with things like Raspberry Pis not being too expensive.

its somehow less creepy with the eyelids at 9:18

These ones are worth like a 120 dollars now… this video pains me (might be helpful if when i get one it’s non-working and i need to fix it)

Did you put them back together after you posted the video?

This is helpful, I was planning to buy a furby soon just to take apart and make a long furby with. Hopefully a long furby that works lol

This is really interesting. But the thing is, 2005s especially are really expensive. That one looked in really good condition so you must've payed a whole bunch for it.

hey! im currently trying to repair one of these. how did you get that shell off of it? i cant get the screws of the shell off for the life of me! did you put something on them or did yours just have loose screws?

Furbys are the scariest thing ever

9:19 imagine seeing this scittering across the floor at midnight

Watching at 3am squad where you at

Great! But i allways screwed trilob-screws of toys with a normal flathead-screwdriver

This is scary wtf

Ru or did u sell any of these parts?

3:42 this is my nightmare?

motor ???

He said no doo do lol

This is amazing!!!

furbyies looks like a mogwai... gizmo befor becomming a gremlin

7:10 lol it barfed

To be clear, you DIDN'T find a murdered and vengeful spirit in there?

I really don't like the image of this thing's furbussy being the way to add batteries

9:22 This is somehow threatening

7:10 imagine if a furby dose this

Hahahaha! He looks like a little gremlin when skinned!

These are the actual demon in life

It's just like skinning a rabbit.

My gizmo and my furby like the one in the video is broken sadly

I hate the feet Ugh Love the teardown though :)

Hey! I was wondering if you would be willing to sell me the parts from this furby, id be happy to pay a lot

Five night at furby LOL

It can't physically walk and move it's mouth at the same time....so mine was indeed possessed...I bet it's the black wire that connects to hells frequency

DO NOT GIVE ANY FURBY PARTS TO A CLIENT IF THEY NEED ANYTHING A FURBY DOES

Donate that endoskeleton

OH HELL NO

me:buys random electronic toys to teardown for parts my little sibling:nooooooooooo you are a monster noOooOoOoOOOOOOooOoOoOo

Don't look at 0:24 worst mistake of my life.

cool it's a 2005 emototronic one

I am going to do this too..my mom will kill me but i wanna see how it works

oh god

Now put everything back again :-p

TA RAN TA DO

Wow. I have never experimented on those things I did see one on sale and I hated it I would kill it in one second

Furbys watching this be like 😦😧🤢🤮😖

BREAK IT

Hey me electronics !

When you take off the skin I laugh so hard

POOR ADORABLE FURBY!!!!!! THAT'S THE CUTEST FURBY EVER!!!! HOW DARE YOU??? I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S LIMITED ADDITION!!!! I have two limited addition furbys!!! Gizmo from The Grimlens, and the creepy Santa furby that will haunt my nightmares.... Go check them out on my channel!!!

It's animatronic furby

My sister used to have one of these and now I’m traumatized (not by the video)

He's kinda cute... A little? I wanna say no but he is

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

First.

:z

Man you SUS

Furry runs on night fuel

This some fnaf shit

Odiei isso Natália 0 para você depois fazer isso comdemais né Eu odeio você não fosse eu ver você manda mais um vídeo no RU-vid aquela com mais para todo mundo colocar no trajeto para você não gosto de você o teu desenho entendeu tudo meu amigo conheço muito e ninguém assiste o vídeo as pessoas que eu não conheço você programa de slime aí eu vou gostar entendeu por isso então faz programa de slime não de

I wish people stopped breaking their furbies, I couldn't get one on my hands cuz of it :(

This is a impressive mechanical feat all in all

my furby was scared of the dark and when i turned the lights of to go to sleep he started fucking screeching

I wish the battery terminal was taken apart. Still super helpful though! Id love to have those parts right about now.

Currently hyper fixating on Furbies and mechanics right now, found my love for technology and mechanics becuase of this video. Thanks! :)
