Safe Furby - Blog Posts
hello furblr
my name is rev, but im also fine with kaycee. for a long time ive been wanting to get into the long furby, not too long after seeing the strange æons long furby video, but never really got around to it. i dont have much money atm but im thinking about trying to customize 2 of my 3 furbies(youll see why i wont customize the 3rd one when i show her) and maybe recording the process? i was wanting to know about tips and tricks for making my own furb.
case 1. the flayed
i got this guy i wanna say before the pandemic started, but it could have been immediately after, either 2019 or early 2020. funnily enough the day they arrived in the mail, we had very unusually stormy weather for my area. i took their skin off pretty soon after i got him, and all the little parts are in a ziploc. theyre a 2012 furby, which i didnt realize at the time but he has a digital face. i do not know if he works or how to get him working. my main worry is if theyre unfixable, is there a way to customize the face by taking out the digital eyes and making my own? i dont know jack shit about electronics so if i did have to fix them theres a high chance i just wouldnt be able to.
case 2. the gift
this is a 1998 furby my friend got me this christmas that i am planning on longifying. there are plenty of tutorials online, so i have less to say on her, but any tips are welcome
case 3. the jester
this is the one i will absolutely not ever customize or diy in any way, aside from maybe removable accessories. i got her for 10 dollars at an antique shop that has since closed and later found out hes worth over 100 dollars on most ebay listings. he is my special treasure, and i love her just the way she is. why am i sharing her if im not gonna customize her? i dont want him to feel left out :(
other stipulations:
i would only be able to record if my parents old video camera still works. i cant afford a fancy one and theirs is pretty old and the battery might be shot.
cost of materials may be expensive, im on a small town that is quite literally on an island, and we have one art store with limited fabric options. most stuff i need will be stuff i have to order, unless i can convince my friends or family to get me stuff from joannes and ship it up to me.
timewise, i dont have much free time. all of my classes are very reading-intensive, and i like to at least be able to skim the readings. for school credit im also doing community service at least twice a week, and really the only days i have any free time are wednesday and weekends, and if i am successful in my job hunt those days will probably be taken up as well.
lastly i think at least one of my classmates might try to kill me if they find out im making them, but i think i can deal with that
please let me know of any tips, especially for the 2012 furb!
I spent three days on mspaint making some lovely new friends. There's a strawberry angel, a forest guardian I gave to my gf, and a rowdy ramen boi. Strawberry and forest are girlfriends.
It is Morning!
Though it's the time of spooks i believe it is time to fully introduce a lovely Easter pal!!
He is very excited to meet you all!

Poor Sunkiss has been one of my oldest furbys and I never customized him until now. I feel really bad I didn't do it sooner. I hope I made him stylish enough to make it up to him.
It's almost spooky time! So of course the pumpkins are ready to be harvested. Bean Sprout and his grandma went out to harvest the pumpkins they grew too. Grandma Brewstone is very impressed with the pumpkin Bean Sprout grew.
Fun fact: weird cabinet handles can make makeshift bane masks for your fuzzy friends

This girl is being such a little trouble maker today. I've lost her screws at least 20 times and her modifications are going to require me to cut into a hefty chunk of her electronics. She's in her skin for now till I aquire her eyes and music box
She got a little photo shoot out in the snow cause she loves to be extra and make me lay down in a pile of snow. I love her and her extra personality so much tho ;-; ♥️♥️♥️

Currently planning on customizing some furbys. Also planning on taking spelling lessons cause I'm dumb and spelled custom wrong on the sheets-
but anyways I'm hoping that if I try really hard that I can dye a springtime furby baby white so I can then dye it light brown but it sounds literally impossible. Also how am I going to fit a music box in a furby baby? Idk but I will.
!!!!! Who is this little man before me??
It is him!! Bane My Valentines! or just Bane for short. He is the newest addition to the family and a wonderful baby boi.
Who is this mysterious new nugget friend?
