Furby Boom And Furby Furblings Zig Zag Stripes

After going to numerous stores around the City, I finally found and got the English Edition of Hasbro's Furby Boom Zig Zag Stripes! I have wanted this particular Furby Boom ever since I saw some promotional photos online. Finally got him at my local Target store for 74.99$ before taxes along with his matching Furby Furblings.


Here is Furby Boom Zig Zag Stripes NIP(New In Package) waiting patiently to be released from his prison package. With Furby Boom purchased at Target you will get the Product Code to download a Furby Boom Egg from Target. This is the front view of the package.



The right side of the package show three(3) of the many activities that you can do with Furby Boom. You can go to either the Apple Store or Google Play store to download the Free Furby Boom App. The Furby Boom App allows you to have even more fun with your new little Interactive Pet by feeding him, taking him to the Spa and much more. You can also earn some Furbucks.


The left side gave you a little sneak peek of the Furby Boom App and three different Furby Furblings Rooms available to chose from. You can earn Furbucks by simply playing the Mini-Furby Boom Games in the App. The Games are Furball, Hide And Seek, and Dance With Furby.



Like other Furby and Furby Boom's packages the fur sample is located on the top of the package. Furby Boom has amazingly soft fur. I really love the designs on this particular Darling.


And the back of the package shows Furby Boom Zig Zag Stripes with his virtual matching Furby Furblings Zig Zag Stripes. It also shows four(4) out of the six(6) different Furby Furblings available from Generation One. These images are their virtual selves,


Sneak peek of Furby Boom's left foot and fur sample. I really love his soft and shiny fur,



Furby Boom Zig Zag Stripes profile view from his left side. The details are just too awesome and well-made.


Sneak peek of his other foot.


Back view. He keeps moving around and ended up facing the back while I am taking photos of him.



And now a full view of this adorable, cute and awesome little Darling! Unlike Furby 2012, his feet are made of hard plastic and the ears are pierced. Like Furby 2012, Furby Boom have many different personalities and can express their emotions and feelings through their LCD Eyes. This is my only Furby Boom that speaks English, my previous six(6) are all French Editions.



Now let's move on with Furby Furblings Zig Zag Stripes. Here is a photo of the two in their respective packages side-by-side for some photo comparison. This Furby Furblings is part of Generation One. Like his Furby Boom counterpart, he has the same designs and matching ears and feet.



The back of the Furblings' packages show the different Furby Furblings designs available and the conversation between Furby Boom and Furby Furblings. You can scan this product in the Furby Boom App to have access to his or her room.


Both Furby Boom and Furby Furblings Zig Zag side-by-side for some photography sections. Love photographing these two a lot! Their fur are so soft.

Blaine Generation Girl

Mattel introduced a two brand new characters in the second(2nd) collection of their Generation Girl brand named Dance Party. The two characters are Mari Nakano and Blaine. Mary is an Asian girl as for Blaine, he is the only boy in the gang. Blaine is from Australia and is the older brother of Barbie's childhood best friend, Summer. This is the very first edition of the Blaine doll.


He is the school Dee Jay and loves music and also host his own Radio Show. The other Blaine doll is the Generation Girl My Room Blaine. There is also a Fashion Pack made just for him. He was introduced in 2000. His full name is Blaine Gordon.


This is the American version of Blaine Generation Girl I bought from the same nice seller who sold me the Generation Girl International High School Playset. I got him for 28.99$. Blaine Generation Girl comes with a Dee Jay station and stand, doll stand, Generation Girl Beat Mini-Magazine, an additional T-Shirt and some accessories.



The back of Blaine Generation Girl is the same as the other Generation Girl Dance Party dolls' packages. Their packages don't show the Generation Girl Dance Party Chelsie doll.


Right spine show Blaine as the Dee Jay of the school's party.


Left spine show three different close-ups of Blaine Generation Girl.

Generation Girl International High School Playset

This morning I have my chance to own the Generation Girl International High School play set for only 25$! It is missing some accessories, but I will not complain because I got it for cheap. The package is open for store display. The play set is not that big though.


Some eBay sellers are asking up to 300$ for this and Amazing is at 100$ in American currency. Sadly this never came to Canada. You can turn this play set into a Dance Floor for your Generation Girl dolls to "dance" and play real songs from either a plugged-in Radio, Walk Man or CD Player and sing along. It also comes with eight mini lockers with the names of all eight Generation Girl characters on them.


Front view of the International High School play set with the Disco Ball hanging around. It comes with awesome accessories. Like I previously mentioned some accessories are missing from this play set.  You can also turn it into the School's Cafeteria.



This is where the lockers are located on the back of the set. The lockers can be opened and you can store some miniatures in them.


Once you pulled it down, you have the Dance Floor.


The play set is missing some Cafeteria food, chairs, and the Couch. But these are the accessories that it also comes with. I am very glad to got it for cheap!

Furby Boom Surprise Eggs

For Easter 2014, Hasbro released the new Furby Boom Surprise Eggs. There are a total of twenty-four(24) Surprise Eggs to collect, but only twenty(20) released first. These Surprise Eggs were first sold on eBay, but on a trip to Toys R Us I found them for 5.99$ each. Got all first Twenty(20) Furby Boom Surprise Eggs and all first Twenty(20) figurines.


Pictured above are all first twenty Hasbro's Furby Boom Surprise Eggs available at the Toys R Us store I went yesterday. It was worth the one hour and eleven minutes bus trip. As you can see there are different designs and different colours available to choose. My favourite Egg is the black one. There are a total of twenty-four Furby Boom Surprise Eggs to collect and chose from.


This is to show the back of the package and a close-up look of the black Furby Boom Surprise Egg. This is of course the Canadian version. Each Furby Boom Surprise Egg contains either one Mini Furby Furblings toy or a random Furby-related toy and a check list. But they only show the first twenty toys on the back.



This is how the Check List looks like. As you collect the Surprise Egg, you can check each figure you already have. I only need four(4) Mini Furblings to have the entire series. These are new product for Fall 2014 and Easter. But Toys R Us Canada decided to released them much earlier. As you can see in the photo there are twenty-four mini toys to collect: twelve Mini Furblings and twelve misc. Furby toys. On the back is the instructions to scan the toy.


Front view of Furby Boom Surprise Egg. This one is the Black Egg with a White Heart in the middle. All eggs are similar to this one with small Furby silhouettes around the Egg and the FURBY logo on the back of the Egg. This is my personally favourite of the entire series.

Right side view of the Surprise Egg. It is very easy to open and close and the toys are simply adorable! Each toy has a bar code that let you scan it with the Free Furby Boom App. If you scan the Mini Furby Furblings you get the actual virtual version of that Furby Furbling that is already named and ready to play with.


Back view with the FURBY logo on it. I just LOVE these Surprise Eggs a lot. They are great additions to your Furby collection and the toys make excellent photography subjects and miniature toy props.


Left side of the Surprise Egg. Now I won't ruin the Surprise toy for you! I will simply link you to my Flickr account where you can see the toys for yourself: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2014fulliem



This is the back of the American version of Furby Boom Surprise Egg package. I first saw these Eggs on eBay last week.

Furby Mash'Ems!

Furby are now making their way to the World of Mash'Ems! Produced and distributed by Tech 4 Kids under Hasbro licenses. Sadly for Canadian fans, these 2014 products will not be sold in Canada. But we can order them directly from the company or simply get them off of eBay.


You can collect all six(6) Furby characters: Blue, Red and Purple from the First Series set and Pink, Gray, and Orange from the Second Series. I was fortunate to get the complete set off of eBay last week from a very nice seller. They are so cute and looks exactly like the Furby they were based on.


The three from the right are from Series Two as for the other three from the left are Series One. This is how the back of the Two-Pack looks like with descriptions of the products in English, French and Spanish. I got them off of the American eBay web site.


Group shot of all three of them side-by-side for comparison. My favourite is of course the Furby Blue. All three of them are very soft. You can squeeze, pull, throw them and they won't break. Don't ask me why these won't be in Canada, because I have no idea. When I asked the company, two of its' associates told me simply that Canada won't have them. But if you have a PayPal account, you can order directly from them.



My extra Furby Purple with them. I really love these Mash'Ems! a lot. The other Mash'Ems I have are Grouchy and Clumsy from The Smurfs Mash'Ems! series, which are not as soft as these three. You can also find these as a complete set of Six, blind-fold individual bags or Capsules.
