Was this the inspiration for the Furby?


If you take a look at Ferbus, he looks an awful lot like the Furby. Does anyone know for certain if this was the inspiration for that toy?

As soon as I first saw the Furby toy, this show was what first came to mind. If it's a coincidence, it's a very huge coincidence.

I think Gizmo from Gremlins looked a lot like a furby.

I thought so too, and the show left 2 years before furby.

I too was under thought that gizmo from gremlins was the insperation for Furby.

They actually made a Furby that looked like Gizmo. I can't remember why they made it, but I think it was a Toys R Us exclusive or something.

Just looking at Furbus now it's impossible not to connect it to the Furby. Even the names are similar. There's some Gizmo in there as well. The Furby is a mutt .

I thought this was the case as well.

The Furby came out after Ferbus.

That's my point, knight2k. Would the company that put out this show have a case against the people who put out the Furby? Do you think there would be grounds for a lawsuit?
