FURBY’S NEW FRIEND: A HAIRY TALKING CLAM



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Remember those fuzzy Furbies that triggered a craze a few years ago? Well, the company that created the electronic dolls has come up with another idea: a hairy talking clam. Later this month, Tiger Electronics will introduce a new doll called “Shelby,” which is sort of a souped up Furby that looks like a hairy clam. The interactive clam uses the same technology as the Furby, but the toymakers claim Shelby has 70 percent more vocabulary – about 275 words total. Shelby will makes its debut at the FAO Schwarz toy store in New York on Thursday.
