History of FURBY's Costume Meet & Greets - DIStory Dan Ep. 88 

Thanks for watching! Hey Patreons! Exclusive Bonus Furby video has also been posted today! I talk about the Furby Chewbacca, Furby in the Thanksgiving Parade, and the lost Disney Furby collaboration! Head over to www.patreon.com/DisneyDan to check it out!

I realize that the Furby scene from The Mitchells vs the Machines is insane product placement for an animated movie.

Great video! I'm the RU-vidr with the circle of Furbys as well as the Shelbies and Furby conversation videos you showed! I was aware of mascot costumes but not that they did so many different ones so I learned something today! It was a fun watch!

Dan: the only way to turn Furbys off was to take their batteries out! me, whose Furby kept talking even without batteries: .......uhhhh I'm not sure about that.

"the first robot any of us owned" Teddy Ruxpin would like to have a word with you Dan 😆 Come to think of it, did they ever have any Teddy Ruxpin costumed characters? Could be an interesting topic for a video if they did.

I would love to see Dan covering Long Furbys. Just like it doesn’t even have to be a history just Dan laughing at wild Long Furbys

I think it's both hilarious and kinda sad that the only idea the marketing team has to make Furbys more marketable to boys was to make them edgy, antisocial jerks.😂 Also I remember those "realistic" Furbys but eww the mascot for them is truly horrific, like we always joke that Furby ripped off the Mogwai from Gremlins but this one actually looks like it's some kind of Gremlin permanently stuck mid transformation.😰

As a Furby collector & enthusiast, this video was quite exciting to see within my recommended! Not that many people talk about the Furby Mascot suits, and I think they deserve a little bit more attention! Also very nice collection you've got there!! : ]

I have a deep seated phobia of Furbys and am hoping this video will act as some kind of immersion therapy.

I made the mistake of bringing my Furby to school and it started DEMANDING food in the middle of math class. My teacher phoned the janitor to come remove the batteries. It was so incredibly embarassing

I'm surprised you didn't mention the limited-edition 'Gremlins' Furby that was designed to look and sound like Gizmo! =)

LET THE DARK HARVEST BEGIN!!!!! I had to say it :P Especially when this video brings that rare combo of Furbies and joy.

Last year at a convention, someone had a whole ton of weird toy bash art pieces that included a white "bride" & black "groom" furby conjoined into this weird 3 foot long black & white furry nightmare worm with a furby head on either end.

As someone named Shelby, I'm in absolute tears right now

The Furby I had as a kid was one of those hyper real ones that was made to look like Gizmo from Gremlins.

Glad you're still doing costume evolution videos, Dan! 😀 But will you please do Bugs Bunny next? 🥺

Suddenly very nostalgic for the Shelby I had as a kid 😂 it was definitely grumpy but it was kinda fun to try to get it to like you lol

Words cannot describe how happy I am to see someone talk about these. I’m a furby fan and it angers me how so many fans ignore these wonderful cursed costumes

As a furby/shelby fan (and owner), this video made me so excited!! Thank you for another amazing video Dan!

Why in the world would you own THAT many ferbies?? Like you went and bought those!! The noises are giving me flashbacks 😅

Got my 3 furbies! ready to watch

the new Furbies are super CUTE protecc

The only furby I ever owned (and still own to this day!) was the one styled after Gizmo, from the movie Gremlins.

Hey dan, great video! I think it would be really cool if you did a Thomas the tank engine costume evolution. There have been many full sizes Thomas train models made for day out with Thomas over the years and also a couple models made for live shows. There was also a really cool parade float Thomas back in the late 90s.

My brother and I both had the 2012 furbies. Mine was orange and his was blue. Mine died of age. But my brothers…. Well, if you pull their tail you can make them evil and they will stay that way, We figured this out by accident. So basically we abused my brothers furbie into having irreversible trauma, and we got scared and locked it into a metal safe for all of eternity

I can FEEL the Disney Dan purests coming out of their hidey-holes to complain about this not being "real Distory"

Finally, a vid on Furbys I love furby

Furbies are my favorite❤😊

I remember liking Furbys as a kid as I always found them cute. However, looking back at the old 90s animatronic toys, I can see why some people were scared of them.

Hello DisneyDan! You should check the Spanish parades we have on Christmas (they are called "Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos" as in "Parade of the Magic Kings") You will find a lot of bootleg costumes. Some are funny others... Disturbing to say the least

I love how there’s so much detail put into the backgrounds of you videos.

I dont like how much this guy laughs

You had my subscription at “bizarre or horrifying” :]

I'm such a furby nerd so watching this was incredibly entertaining and informative! I'm so glad to see such a well structured video of promotional costumes since I've seen a bunch of clips and pictures, but not much context behind them This convinced me to check out more of your content!! Thanks for the great vídeo ❤

Dan I cannot tell you how excited I am to watch this video both as a fan of yours and as an obsessive furby collector XD I've got almost 90!

Furby Summit?!?! lmfao why is that so funny to me 🫣

Dan ,you brighten my day once again, I love it !!!!!!!

That was very interesting! It’s something how the majority of them, at least in the face, looked pretty on point to how the Furbys looked. Also, this really makes me want to see Dan talk about Teddy Ruxpin costumes (I don’t know if there have been very many of them though).

You really do crack yourself up

I am traumatized and triggered. When I was a cadet at the US Coast Guard Academy, some of the upperclassmen had a furby they named Admiral Furby, made tiny little uniform epaulettes for, taught phrases like "Salute me, b****h", and then would wheel out into the hallway on an office chair to ambush unsuspecting underclassmen who were expected to treat it accordingly.

Litteraly waiting for this since it was announced

Fun fact: in Transformers (2007), Bumblebees' legs are blown up by an explosion caused by a Furby truck.

they’ve drastically changed by CUTENESS today’s is just straight up adorable but back then that is too creepy

I didn't even know the furbys were "named". I had the skunk one (and a weird bootleg too, which was grey I believe)

Literally the old giant furby mascot costumes in 1998 and 1999 in the USA kind of remind me of those Cartoon Network Blooregard Q Kazoo Mascot suits you see usually with the Mac mascot in Six-Flags during the 2000's era.... Blooregard moves weirdly just like the 1990's usa furby mascots, they just like slide while walking. Also, I wonder if the same door problem happens with him.

videos like this are why I subscribed

I remember when our furbies would start randomly talking in the middle of the night and it was weird

Hi Dan!!!

Me like Disney! He he he

Me and my brother got a new Furby for Christmas they're so adorable we also have all the new Furblets

I didn’t know dan didn’t had a large amount of furbys!

Hey Dan, while you're working on Company Mascots, how about the Energizer Bunny? I've seen that big pink drummer around plenty of times growing up!

Can you do sun maid history

Furby's creeped me out and reminded me of Gremlins.

The first talking toy was Teddy ruxpin

Oh, so that's where Shelby's IR sensors are. Somehow that never occurred to me.

12:23 this one is weird because this version is inspired on the prototype version from the 2005 furby!

Pls make the evolution of the goofy costume 🙏🙏🙏

Hello! As someone who owns a Furby Boom, I approve this video

The biggest question I have after this video. Do the new furbys turn off 😅😂

You don't know how envious I am of all those new in-box furbs. I just feel a bit bad to think they might never get taken out and loved

Great video!! Always found Furby to be creepy personally, so a little extra creep felt from some of the costumes. Lol.

Kiddy Land is a pretty awesome toy store. Definitely a neat place to pay a visit too if you’re near one.

Joke’s on you, the first robot I owned was a hexbug nano!

The 2012 Furbies that changed personalities scared me and my family away from Furby for a while, mostly because of the evil/rude personality. I think the 2023 ones fixed that problem? These costumes are really cute, though. Fingers crossed you'll one day cover The California Raisins costume evolution [including their appearances in vintage Macy's Thanksgiving Parades], because the history of the Raisins, as well as Will Vinton Studios, is super interesting.

I was a kid around this time and boy did I want those cool new robotic toys but never got one. Now I think they're hideous and terrifying and should probably be grateful I had no demonic Furbies haunting me in the middle of the night.

Disney Dan, can make a video about Sailor moon costumes please?

Waiting for evolution of: Rocky and Bullwinkle walk around costume suits, Dora The Explorer walk around character suit, Diego, The Backyardigans, McGruff, Baby Bop and BJ, Scooby Doo walk around costume, The Rescuers characters, Tony The Tiger, Toucan Sam, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Roger Rabbit, Woody Woodpecker, Blue's Clues, Madgascar walk around character suits, Bolt and Mittens, Spot the Dog, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi and Boo Boo Bear, Fred Flintstone, and other retired Hanna Barbara walkaround characters, Bean Bunny, Fraggle Rock characters, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian, Patrick Star, Squidward, Sandy Cheeks, the Pink Panther, Elmo, Zoe, Telly, Phillie Phanatic, etc. 📺🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥

Very cute

Some of these appear to be based on the prototypes of the toys they were promoting rather than their final designs, particularly the Owen Wilson Furby and the slender Furbies with hearts for IR sensors

i remember watch the furby animations, so odd. but i like the latest desing.

My fav OG furby is the Santa furby 🎅🎄

Ooooooh gottz, the memories! I remember that my younger brother and I REALLY wanted a Furby so badly, but our parents could only afford one. So we were given one for Christmas, I THINK it was Skunk. But it could NOT leave the house. Had to stay home. Which was fine. Truuuuthfully, we got bored of it REALLY quickly. 😅😅

a weird thing i noticed is that the sensor/light detector/ir sensor above the eyes usually has 3 points, aswhere on the early costumes (1998-2000) it has 2, which is odd because that was only a feature on the late prototypes, shown here, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PHWcBbf0Eng.htmlsi=m5XjRZVgjw7bLRt9

I can’t shake the image of a Vision Furby and now I need one

You should do a "Mall of America Costume Evolution", I remember seeing a Shark Costume, a Shrimp costume from Bubba Gump Shrimp, Peanuts, and now Nickelodeon characters.

I think the first robot I might’ve owned was one of those fake Robosapiens called “Roboactor”, the Jia Qi TT313 robot that ripped him off. I’m not sure if it was that or the RoboReptile Feng Yuan ripoff called “Fire Dragon” or something… Idk. I also owned a wooden dinosaur robot toy, which I still own today.

I can’t believe he emptied his bank account for the background of this video.

I love Furbys! I still have the red/black one from my childhood. I got the 2005 version but didn't like it. The current kind are cute but you can't beat the OG lol

I have the Furby app and the purple One to go with it!!!

" Let the furby hate Flow through you "-disneyDan 2024

I would like to see the history of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costumes next.

Can I just say I had a furby when I was little and than my niece got a new furby and it's just crazy how things just randomly come back

You forgot a furby that been released somewhere through 2016-2018 , I think it's called furby connect

The 2005 furby was Funny! 🤣

I remember these cutie Furby toys but that made me scared when I couldn't get a good night's sleep.

I never knew any of this existed, or kiddie me blacked it out to not haunt me for the rest of my life 😂😂😂

I had a pink furby in the early 2000s and my parents grabbed the furby and put it in a draw. Because it never stopped making noises 😂

coool

... I was in my 20s when Furbies came out. I saw Gremlins, and Furbies remind me of them. I didn't even have any talking dolls growing up - my only robots weren't motorized toys, just Transformers, Go-Bots, and the Voltron lions. I had some science kits, but no robotics ones as I don't remember seeing them back then (I would have begged for them otherwise). 🤷🏻‍♀️ Although I am sad Dan didn't mention that fanmade TTRPG named Furb House does exist, if you want to play as one...

Love the vid,but...*WTH TMNT AT? (*WHERE THE HECK)

Would I pay $70 hell no but that new purple furby is really cute

wow i did not know any of that but the original is best in my opinion

Fun fact: Furby had a lost 3D movie to commemorate either the start of its second generation of toys or the end of the first one

The lifelike one with its awful nipple udders for feet is gonna be living in my nightmares. Thanks be Dan & Kenny.

First time I’ve ever heard this existed was 2021 because the certain brand was in a movie

oh my gosh some of those Furby costumes were taller than me

have y’all ever wondered what happened to those suits?

This is a weird one. Peter Griffin costume character evolution. I don't even know if there is Peter Griffin costume characters but any adult cartoon characters will do

WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY FURBYs?!???!!
