13 Rarest Furbies & What They Cost in 2024

Note: the majority of the information for this blog was obtained from the Official Furby Wiki – a fandom site maintained by lifelong Furby fans. If any knows anything about Furby history, it’s these Furbinators. Current values were calculated from recent eBay sales as of February 2024.

13. Royal Furby (April 2000)

Quantity Produced: 136,000
2024 Value: $35 to $100

Rocking a bejeweled fluffy gown and a gold-accented crown, the special limited edition Royal Furby is all about ruling with humility, loyalty, and “may-may” (love). Also known in the Furby community as King Furby, this marvelous monarch was the last ever Furby to be released in stores globally. With piercing purple eyes and vivid fur coloring, this is one of the most beloved special edition Furbies.

There’s also a Royal Furby prototype with a fabric crown and scepter, making it one of the very few Furbies with any kind of prop to hold. Only two are known to exist, one of which was sold for $450 in 2017!

Nobody knows where the other prototype is. Rumor has it that they’re in exile, waiting to emerge when Furbies need them most.

12. Wizard Furby (July 1999)

Quantity Produced: 90,000
2024 Value: $20 to $189

Also known as Sorcerer Furby, Wizard Furby is ready to cast a spell on you with its adorable felt robes and pointy hat. The black body fur and faceplate of this vintage Furby contrast really well with the deep purple clothing and stomach, making this Furby a real standout when displayed.

The original prototype for Wizard Furby looks completely different, however. With his black collared cape and puffy white hair, this prototype looks more like one of those evil Furbies you hear so much about. There’s also a second prototype identical to the completed Furby, except it has a white faceplate.

11. Racing Furby (September 1999)

Quantity Produced: 72,000
2024 Value: $30 to $105

With a stomach checkered like a racing flag, Racing Furby doesn’t waste any time letting you know that they’re about. While essentially a slight variation on the existing Skunk Furby, that didn’t stop Furby fans from gobbling up all 72,000 units of this Kmart exclusive.

Sealed in its original packaging, this special edition Furby sells for around $100 on eBay, depending on the presence of the original box and its condition.

10. Jester Furby (November 1999)

Quantity Produced: 72,000
2024 Value: $50 to $236

This rare Furby may be dressed like a clown, but its value to collectors is no joke!

On eBay, Jester Furby can easily fetch upwards of $200, depending on box condition. The Furb’s value is apparent since it was sold exclusively at Target and only 72,000 were made.

While it may not be the most expensive Furby ever, Jester Furby has easily one of the most unique and visually exciting designs that Tiger Electronics/Hasbro came up with. Jester Furby is also the only special edition Furby that has a faceplate a different color from its eyelids.

9. President Furby (November 2000)

Quantity Produced: 36,000
2024 Value: $61 to $239

If Royal Furby is a little too undemocratic for your tastes, here’s something you could vote (with your wallet) for – President Furby!

Easily one of the cutest, funniest Furbies ever created, this fuzzy Commander in Chief is wearing a sharp black suit along with a patriotic U.S.A. flag and “Furby for President” badges.

Apart from looking fantastic, President Furby is also popular for its unique voice lines like “Me President!” and “Wahoo! Big America”.

Big America indeed.

With just 36,000 in existence, this patriotic Furby has become one of the most valuable Furby dolls, fetching almost $250 on eBay.

8. Tropical Furby (October 1999)

Quantity Produced: 36,000
2024 Value: $60 to $225

Wearing some cool shades, a pair of sandals, and a bright orange aloha shirt – Tropical Furby looks ready for some serious leisure time. Only 36,000 units were produced, and they were only available at certain Toys R Us stores to boot, so this is one of the rarest Furby dolls out there.

Ironically, while being created to celebrate summer, delays meant that this Furby wouldn’t make it to shelves until fall.

This is also the only Furby to feature footwear for its… paws?

7. Angel Furby (2000)

Quantity Produced: Limited release of at least 14,000
2024 Value: $75 to $300

Descending down from Furby heaven, Angel Furby is here to bless you with a whimsical song from its golden harp. Featuring two white angel wings and a golden halo – this special Furby angel is just heavenly. With such a beautiful design, it’s no surprise why this is one of the most coveted of the Furby special editions!

Like the presidential Furby, Angel Furby also comes with special phrases like “Me believe you special like angel!” and “Me like halo, harp, whoopie!”

While there are believed to be at least 10,000 units, the exact number of Angel Furbies is unknown. This has helped raise the collectible’s value, attracting prices of around $300 on eBay.

6. Hi-C Furby (February 1999)

Quantity Produced: 5000
2024 Value: $37 to $560

While looking like a basic original Furby, this toy is actually a vintage collector’s item thanks to only being available through Hi-C contests. Considering there are only 5,000 in existence, Hi-C Furby is one of the rarest special edition Furbies out there.

The black spots on the fur of each Hi-C Furby are randomized, meaning that every doll looks slightly different.

As of writing, a Hi-C Furby has collected as much as $560 on eBay.

5. Kid Cuisine Furby (1999)

Quantity Produced: Around 500
2024 Value: $100 to $1,800

These next special editions look like they just jumped out of a Dr. Seuss book!

It’s Kid Cuisine Furby – a Furby with a gorgeous color scheme that makes it a must-have for any collector. The eyes come in either blue or green, meaning there are technically two versions of the elusive Kid Cuisine Furby.

It’s suspected that only around 500 Kid Cuisine Furbies exist, making it extremely rare. As of writing, one was sold on eBay for around $1,800 (the seller accepted an offer, you can see the listing here).

If you can find one of these Furby toys with its original packaging (or better yet, unopened packaging), you might be sitting on more value than you even realize!

4. Chicago Cubs Talking Buddy Furby (June 2000)

Quantity Produced: 500
2024 Value: $142 to $250

Coated in the colors of the Chicago Cubs, this special edition Talking Buddy Furby was given out only to fans who attended the team’s game against the Detroit Tigers at Wrigley Field ballpark in June 2000. Only 500 were available to collect, and those that didn’t get handed out were never seen again. To this very day, the exact number remaining is unknown.

Recent sold listings have determined this rare Furby to be worth as much as $250.

3. Emoto-Tronic Furby & Furby Babies (August 2005)

Quantity Produced: 500
2024 Value: $40 to $550 (Furby) & $30 to $425 (Furby Babies)

Also known as Furby 2005, Emoto-Tronic Furbies were almost double the size of the original and came with various other cosmetic changes. This new Furby design came with advanced features like the ability to communicate with other Furbies, improved speech recognition, and an interactive game. A paired-down version called Emoto-Tronic Furby Babies was also released, as was another spin-off called Funky Furbies. What made them funky? They had tails and could dance…

The early 2000s were weird.

A little over 15 years later, the Emoto Tronic Furbies have become highly sought-after. As of writing, most of the Furbies in this series are being listed for more than $150 or more, though we were able to find some as cheap as $40 and as expensive as $550. The Furby Babies variant is being sold for around $200 on average, but there’s also this one that sold for $425.

Funky Furbies go for $50 to $260, but they’re still just as funky today as they were 20 years ago.

2. Bejewelled Furby (October 1999)

Quantity Produced: 5
2024 Value: $100,000 (more than $180,000 adjusted for inflation)

Blinged out with 156 Swarovski crystals and a generous assortment of full-cut diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, the Bejewelled Furby is a dazzling sight to behold. With jewelry crafted in 18k gold, this flashy furball had a whopping retail price of $100,000 (over $180,000 today).

This limited edition Furby model was exclusive to FAO Schwarz, and only five units were produced. Of the two that were sold, one is believed to be in a museum, while the others are privately owned.

As you might imagine, none of them have popped up on eBay.

1. Rainbow Furby (September 2000)

Quantity Produced: 3
Value: Unknown

In 2000 Tiger Electronics and Post Consumer Brands teamed up to run a Furby design competition for kids. Kids were given a form to color in and design their own Furby, and the 12 best entries were put to a public vote.

One “Brittany from Missouri” won the contest, and her work would become immortalized as the gorgeous Rainbow Furby. Brittany was given two Rainbow Furbies, one to play with and one to keep sealed, while Hasbro archived another.

Allegedly, the sealed furby was stolen by her brother and sold on eBay, but the sale price is unknown. (Source)

With only three units known to exist, Rainbow Furby is officially the rarest Furby toy of all time.
