Hey, just a small tip, for the Raccoon furby (the one with the sun damaged eyes) since his spring is rusted off, what you could do is put some tinfoil on the contact once you clean it and it should make contact! For the eyes and eyelids themselves you can actually restore them as well! It's called retrobrighting and there's plenty of tutorials on how to do it online! Hopefully you can get him looking as he once was!
I got scammed and it reminded me of this video. Paid £18 for a Furby, I was told it was fully working apart from being mute.. Came late, absolutely disgusting, smelling like 🍁 and barely even working, AND it was damaged from being taken apart beforehand, which I also was not told about. Took me 15 resets to make it work decently.. Had LOADS of bug poop in the skin in the face area and corrosion in the battery compartment. I’m going to clean the battery compartment with white vinegar and make a new skin for them(still washing the old one for storage or selling) inshaallah. I’m glad you at least knew these would be nasty.. Wasn’t a nice surprise, lol.
Since my husband and I have finished watched all the episodes of The Repair Shop, I've missed listening to the shop workers talk through their processes as they care for each treasure. This was a great video. I'm looking forward to more Furby Fridays.😁
I think I would have used gloves for this one 🤢 Seems like it would be really satisfying at the end though. I wish this was a job you could get paid to do. Professional Furby Restorative Artist.
Thank you! Got my first furby the other day at the thrift shop and the poor thing reeked of cigarettes and had discolored fur. Was intimidated to skin it but this helped!
I'm only starting this video but I'm already so nostalgic 🥰. I still have this green Furby. It used to scare me as a child, screaming in french "I'm bored !" in the middle of the night 😆
Thank you so much for this video! I bought a witch furby off eBay that smells like cigarette smoke. I had to remove the skin to repair it anyways (was super glitchy) now I can’t wait to get it all cleaned.😁
wish I'd seen this a few hours ago before I opened my first ever 1998 furb. Opened him in my bedroom, decided to give a little sniff to see if there was any foul odour (none luckily, just musty basement smell) and moments later I'm in a pretty scary asthma attack, much worse than I've had in years. I'm guessing he's trapped a lot of dust since he's got a tiny hint of sun damage in the eyes, suggesting he was probably on a shelf for a long period of time.
Tragedy is looking pretty good after his bath. I think it would be funny if you did a little "previously on Furby Friday" on your next video about him. It is good to know that laundry stripping works in toys. I might try it on my favorite cabbage patch kids doll that I got for my first Christmas. She needs a good clean.
My brother had a Furby and got bored with it, so he decided to skin it. I woke up one morning to a hollow furby pelt (It maintained the same shape) sitting on my chest. Its hollow eye holes were particularly terrifying.
Okay soooo happy for our first furby friday😌 also be super careful with the corroded batteries! you can get really bad chemical burns from touching battery acid/dust like that 😬
I adore this! 💜 I’m a Furby lover too, and I need to skin and wash my Joe Bob Snowball but I’m scared! 😱 So putting the skin back on… you just slip it on and don’t worry about the zip tie?
Is it normal for my furbys faceplate to have no screws? Like... None at all? It's just held it with glue... The metal screw holder bits are just plastic, I'm really confused lol
I just got a 1998 NIB pink flamingo furby. It didn't work when I put batteries in it, but I watched videos on how to get it working. It is moving now finally, but there is no sound. I legit have been crying, bc I'm scared to do this!! (skin) I don't even think I can change a speaker. Sorry for coming here to say all this. This is my first Furby!! 🥺😢
Omg the first one getting its lil ears done looks like it’s asleep for an operation 😭 How the helllll did those batteries not start a fire?! 😱😱😱 Bizarre!! This is insanely satisfying tho 😍
Just skinned three of my old furbies, none of them had any screws just glue around their face which is weird because they all have in all the tutorials I've seen 🤔 I'm glad tho because I wasn't sure I had the right screwdriver lol They're drying as I write this, pray for me I put their skin back on properly 🤣 Only thing this tutorial is missing is that last part 🙏🏻
eu acabando de receber um furby do enjoei lembrando que poderia ter baixinho dentro e correndo pra colocar num saco enquanto não consigo lavar ele: ☠️☠️☠️
This reminds me of when my kids were little and we'd get stuff from the Goodwill. EVERYTHING MUST TAKE A BATH! 💕

Stay tuned for my future videos where I address all of the above 😜
@@myreadingisodd also is it the same for furby fakes called a furbish trying to find someone who de skins a furbish

how is the furby now?
Do I own a Furby? No.
Do I plan on buying a Furby? Also no.
Did I just watch the entire thing, fascinated? Yes, absolutely.
Since my husband and I have finished watched all the episodes of The Repair Shop, I've missed listening to the shop workers talk through their processes as they care for each treasure. This was a great video. I'm looking forward to more Furby Fridays.😁
Trash boy is a gem ♡
what an awesome tutorial, youre so confident in your skinning it makes me think i can do it too!
That poor Furby, I remember your Twitter post, when I asked why it looked like it had liver failure. Love the Furby cat shirt!
Gotta love furbies they are creepy nostalgic for me
why did they stop makeing these adorable things
I don't have any furbies, but this makes me want to buy some just to clean them. It looks so satisfying!
your shirt is everything
Really Fantastic Collection ...Good to see your video .......
This is content I didn’t know I wanted
I'm very excited for Furby Fridays!!! This makes me want to find and restore my Gizmo Furby even more.
I think I would have used gloves for this one 🤢 Seems like it would be really satisfying at the end though. I wish this was a job you could get paid to do. Professional Furby Restorative Artist.
Thank you! Got my first furby the other day at the thrift shop and the poor thing reeked of cigarettes and had discolored fur. Was intimidated to skin it but this helped!
I was watching the video with my supposedly broken and dead furby when it suddenly started talking 😭 at least it’s not dead anymore-
I'm only starting this video but I'm already so nostalgic 🥰. I still have this green Furby. It used to scare me as a child, screaming in french "I'm bored !" in the middle of the night 😆
I haven't owned a Furby since the 90s, but I'm still watching this for some reason. 😂
I don’t own one to clean one but I want too. Lol. Great demonstration
Thank you so much for this video! I bought a witch furby off eBay that smells like cigarette smoke. I had to remove the skin to repair it anyways (was super glitchy) now I can’t wait to get it all cleaned.😁
"Name is just Tragic"... I lol'd.
That grey one looks hella high 😂 I thought the one that was in gremlins 2 was high but i think the grey one wins 🤣
great work! I'll be so afraid to tear them apart or just break even more!
I love your shirt 😍
Hello ! Do you do cleaning furby COMMISSIONS ? Like just cleaning the fur?
That Furby has LIVED
wish I'd seen this a few hours ago before I opened my first ever 1998 furb. Opened him in my bedroom, decided to give a little sniff to see if there was any foul odour (none luckily, just musty basement smell) and moments later I'm in a pretty scary asthma attack, much worse than I've had in years.

Have you tried Dawn dish washing liquid?
Tragedy is looking pretty good after his bath. I think it would be funny if you did a little "previously on Furby Friday" on your next video about him.

18:11 OMG
In My Childhood this BATTERIES the 25 Years old.😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I have a raccoon furby myself and I can tell you he was the dirtiest furby I ever had (minus my new coffee furby with very flaky battery corrosion)
My brother had a Furby and got bored with it, so he decided to skin it. I woke up one morning to a hollow furby pelt (It maintained the same shape) sitting on my chest. Its hollow eye holes were particularly terrifying.
it would be kinda of if you could turn into a eco spot
Omg I love your shirt!!!
The screws are almost impossible to get out so you can remove the sides and the head. Any suggestions?
Okay soooo happy for our first furby friday😌 also be super careful with the corroded batteries! you can get really bad chemical burns from touching battery acid/dust like that 😬
Gosh, that tragic dirty furbaby! 😱🤣
Also, love the shirt! Maybe a furby merch/clothes tour? 🥰
Did you put a new zip tie in it? Thank u so much for this video, I'm so excited! my first Furby is coming and now I know how to clean it ❤
Really enjoyed this video!! Please restore trash boys eyes!
Thank you for this was able to skin my new eBay one and am currently giving him a good soak
I adore this! 💜 I’m a Furby lover too, and I need to skin and wash my Joe Bob Snowball but I’m scared! 😱 So putting the skin back on… you just slip it on and don’t worry about the zip tie?
You can use another zip tie or can substitute it with elastic. 😄
How do i keep my furby in crazy mode it keeps going into sweet mode
Tragic just has yellow eyeliner now XD
I have a 2005 furby baby and idk how to clean it 😣
my furbys face plate couldnt come off at ALL but the fur could and it was all sewn on lol guess im glueing the fur back on carefully after
Tysm i wanted to spin my furbys motor bc it was broken and this helped me take the fur off ty!!
Just skinned two furbiesb:p thx for ur tutorial
Oh I’m watching this to make it look even more scary and scare my family with it
do a own a single furby? -no
did i watch the whole video? -hell yeah!!
thank you!!
Is it normal for my furbys faceplate to have no screws? Like... None at all? It's just held it with glue... The metal screw holder bits are just plastic, I'm really confused lol
It's hard to pull off, I don't see any visible screws and for some reason it feels like it's being held down in the middle of the faceplate
Were Furby cats a thing or is it just your T-shirt? The shirt is cute by the way.
I just got a 1998 NIB pink flamingo furby. It didn't work when I put batteries in it, but I watched videos on how to get it working. It is moving now finally, but there is no sound. I legit have been crying, bc I'm scared to do this!! (skin) I don't even think I can change a speaker. Sorry for coming here to say all this. This is my first Furby!! 🥺😢
Omg the first one getting its lil ears done looks like it’s asleep for an operation 😭
How the helllll did those batteries not start a fire?! 😱😱😱 Bizarre!!
This is insanely satisfying tho 😍
2:41 🇨🇦🍁
6:49 i bet that poor lil guy was left outside for years
Just skinned three of my old furbies, none of them had any screws just glue around their face which is weird because they all have in all the tutorials I've seen 🤔 I'm glad tho because I wasn't sure I had the right screwdriver lol They're drying as I write this, pray for me I put their skin back on properly 🤣 Only thing this tutorial is missing is that last part 🙏🏻
You could name him Junkyard or Tragedy
The raccoon
My furby fur wasn't screwed at all, the plastic part of the fur (where the face is) was glued to the faceplate
That happens sometimes too! Depending on the factory.
so cool 💞💞
"How to skin a furby" just terrifying
I didn't have to unscrew anything I just popped it off
I have a name for your furby instead of tragic it could be treasure, oooor... or trevor😊 I hope you like these names
eu acabando de receber um furby do enjoei lembrando que poderia ter baixinho dentro e correndo pra colocar num saco enquanto não consigo lavar ele: ☠️☠️☠️
The owner who had the furby just put it in water and also poor furby, I feel bad for it 😢.
ah heck nah they killed furby
How do i keep my furby in crazy mode it keeps going into sweet mode
