1999 Furby Electronic Pet (White/Iridescent Model)

This item is an unopened, boxed 1999 Furby electronic pet. The Furby itself appears to be an iridescent white or light lavender color with white feet and ears. Its eyes are large and round with black pupils and light-colored irises, possibly blue or gray, set in a light grey or silvery surround. The beak-like mouth is yellow with a red interior visible. The fur appears to be a synthetic, slightly shaggy material designed to mimic soft animal fur, with a subtle shimmer or iridescence. The toy is housed within its original retail packaging, which consists of a vibrant magenta or purple cardboard base and top, connected by clear plastic sides that allow the product to be viewed from multiple angles. The top of the box features purple text that reads, "The MORE you PLAY with me the MORE I do!" and "I will KEEP AMAZING you!" The front of the box prominently displays the "Furby" logo in a stylized, playful font, accompanied by stylized yellow flower graphics. A small warning label, likely for choking hazards, is visible on the lower right of the box. The overall condition of the box is not perfect, as indicated by the user, suggesting potential shelf wear, creasing, or minor scuffs from storage over two decades. Despite this, the content (the Furby) remains sealed and untouched, which is a significant factor for collectors. The box's design is typical of late 1990s toy packaging, aimed at appealing to children with bright colors and playful typography. The toy size appears to be standard for an original Furby, roughly 6-8 inches in height. No specific manufacturer's mark is clearly visible on the toy itself, but 'Electronic Furby' is printed on the box, indicating its interactive nature.
