## Transcript

Toymakers just wanna bring joy to your holiday season and take a wad of your holiday dollars in exchange. Some of them think the key to both lies in classic toys of millennial youth. Sock' em boppers. More fun than a pillow fight. Hey, if it worked once, maybe it'll work again. Remember this? What's that? It's my Furby. The furby was an instant hit when it was introduced in 1998. Forty million were sold in its first three years of production. Now Hasbro, maker of one of the most iconic toys of the 90s, is looking to bring them back in a big way. With some modern updates of course. Meet Furby Boom!

Furby Boom does everything that Furby does and more. But aside from the fact you can now interact with Furby on your tablet, and collect and raise virtual Furbies, it's pretty much the same interactive, gremlin looking toy. Well, if it isn't Tamagotchi. And then there's the Tamagotchi, the other hand held digital pet that drove adults crazy back in the mid 90s. To update the popular classic, toymaker Bandai is adding short range communication technology to allow kids, and probably more adults than would dare cop to owning one, to bump their toys together. Sending their virtual babies on play dates.

Smart phones already use similar technologies, so it's unclear whether today's kids will go as gaga for the gadgets as many of us did way back when. [ MUSIC ] But we all know a good reboot can be a big money maker. When all else fails, we don't. [ MUSIC ] For Time, I'm Kristina Hartman.
