The big-eyed and furry electronic creature immediately rose to fame, thus creating the Furby era. People from all over the world were obsessed. The high demand led to Furby prices skyrocketing upwards of $100. In short, Furby was the "it" toy of the late '90s.

Sites such as Go Furby serve as a resource for Furby owners and collectors. Based on the site's value chart, the vintage toy ranges in value from $25 to over $500.
