This is one of those things that's so mind boggling, I can't believe they both actually exist in the same reality.Ferbus is a strange little alien pet/sidekick from the American Masked Rider series (which aired from 1995 to 1997 and was not really a huge attention getter, at least not compared to Power Rangers, the series it had been spun off from).
Furby is an even stranger little electronic pet... thing that can talk to people or another Furby (popular from 1998 to 2000).
They have similar appearances and even similar names (though Ferbus actually has arms and real legs, stubby as they are).
And somehow, they aren't related at all?
How is this possible?!
(On a related note, I've heard a funny story about Furbies. A friend of my sister apparently owned several, along with a much more obscure electronic talking toy called an Oogly. [Yes, really, though I may be mispelling it.] Ooglies were extremely loud, exuberant, and downright obnoxious-if I recall the commercials, they basically scream and shout and laugh like maniacs.
And apparently they scare the bejeebers out of Furbies, who "go to sleep" whenever an Oogly is too close.)
