I remember when these first came out. I was an 11-year-old boy at the time, so naturally my first instinct was to wrench in disgust at the mere sight of a "girls toy." But deep down, I was actually kinda liked these colorful, robotic globs of goop, the way they moved and sounded. As such, even though I wouldn't dare to ask for one of them as a kid, they've been stuck in the back of my head for a whole decade now, and now I've put the whole "ew girls toy" mentality behind me, I'm really interested in owning one of these!

I seriously get so mad that kids entertainment is just left to die off like it's chop liver LOL! But in all seriousness, it does really anger me. A doll line that I adore and that's a little more niche, The Beatrix Girls, is a very good example. I thankfully have managed to get all four of them with all their accessories, but the information about them online, and the fact they're incredibly hard to find now, is very sad. I'm a huge toy collector and lover of kids entertainment, and documenting and archiving it needs to be taken way more seriously! And also, I'd love it if you could do a Beatrix video! I'd be glad to help you! Edit: Fijits also had these accessory packs with removable ears and ear decorations, and a friendship bracelet. There were also versions of the four original Fijits with.... patterns on their skin? Because they had squishy skin, there were some that had embossed patterns on it. I only know because I saw these in stores when I was young, I was quite the fan of Fijits and had one or two from each line!

i went on a deep dive of my own about these things about half a year ago (update just checked and it was an entire year ago. jesus times goes fast) when i found them again trying to google for fidgie friends and couldnt remember what they were called, even ended up buying serafina on ebay for like $20 because wikipedia (actual wikipedia, not fandom) said she was voiced by cassandra lee morris and after looking up videos of her she absolutely was, and i immediately needed to buy her and show my friend the strange pink morgana robot (also i desperately wanted one of these as a kid and collect 2000s-early 2010s girl toys in general mostly dolls but i do love weirder yet incredibly nostalgic lines like this) i became weirdly endeared to her tbh... i will say though she is LOUD. Even on the lowest volume i barely use her because i dont want to disturb my family lol. And yes she also does that awful rap, although with different lyrics. I also barely use her because theres like... very little to do with these things especially compared to something like a furby I'm kinda surprised there was no mention of the weird willa mascot costume that was in a few of those promo videos... also theres quite a few videos of the fijit friends internal parts from furby modders lol i also adore the newbies faces. something about their expressions is just so. indescribable to me. theyre like the tbh creature but not quite. they look like they are constantly plagued by horrible thoughts and although they have no capability or desire to commit any immoral action these thoughts dont distress them. theyve just accepted it

For the record you might be confusing it with Furby , as Furby Boom had an app . I remember that the app constantly played these obnoxious noises in order to keep itself connected and transmit signals to the Furby . It used to be very headache inducing and if you picked that you did not have a Furby when opening the app it would still play the noises . Me and my younger siblings still used to play with the app by itself a lot since none of us ever had a Furby but did want one .

It's your local Fijit Friends fanatic here! Another thing you should know is recently-ish, there have been pictures and videos surfacing of some Fijit newbies called "Fijit Amigas", Seemingly only released in Mexico, or perhaps prototypes. Some of the first pictures surfaced around 2020? And I'm pretty sure there is couple videos of them here on KZfaq. They look just like the first wave of Newbies, but have different expressions and new names, and some variations in colours and ear shapes. Anywho, thought I'd mention this slightly less known piece of recent lore, because I don't see people talking about it a lot.

I remember placing my Furby with it and they would kinda talk to each other in a way which was very amusing to me back then. Also coming from someone that's very interested in lost media, hearing that there's little to no info about a toy that had a big presence in my childhood is genuinely sad. You're absolutely right; it's incredibly important to document these things no matter how small or insignificant they seem. It's an important part in toy history in general and people's own histories with them.

I got the Melody newbie from my step grandma’s friend back when the newbies came out. I remember being so excited about having her because I had wanted a Fijit friend for so long but my step grandparents couldn’t afford a normal one, so when their friend showed up with Melody randomly and gave her to me it was a huge surprise for me. I non stop played with her for hours and constantly carried her around with me , but I thought you could change their ears like on the normal ones so little me thought it would be a good idea to rip her ears off, but luckily she still worked until I eventually got bored of her. I ended up losing her before I moved out and I forgot about Fijit friends in general until I saw this video and the newbies were mentioned and I was like “oh shit I had one of those”. I actually had a couple of the McDonald’s toys too, and ironically when I ended up working at the one where I got the toys years later, I found quite a few of the toys stashed away in the corner of the stock room whole I was grabbing fry boxes, and my boss let me keep them all. There weren’t very many, maybe like 12 all together and I wasn’t sure why they were still there considering they had fallen into obscurity years earlier but I was happy to take them home with me none the less

And after that day i was very very happy with her! It may not have been Serefina, but i still got my fijit! My mom said that this happened in December, before Christmas, but i remember it being in January Also, Willa being a trendsetter might mean she's a bit of a diva while also being the leader of the group!

I had one or a few of the McDonald's toys of these years ago. Never really knew what they were until now, though.

I think the app didn't happen, but the furby boom app had a similar function, where they had the same high pitched chirps to interact with the furby. I didn't have any of the main fijit toys as a kid but I had a few of the McDonald's ones which I really loved

OMG Ive been trying to remember what these were called and this just so happened to pop up on my fyp 😭 I had the purple spinning shimmie from mcdonalds and I loved her so much,, not sure what I did with her sadly but I remember how obsessed I became with the brand and how much I wanted a full sized fijit after that- kinda sad to see how faded into obscurity only a bit later,, theyre rlly cute :[

I won the same pink one in the box in your thumbnail! They had a raffle at school on the last day before summer, I and one other kid got called and we each got one. I think it broke eventually and my mom threw it out, but I LOVED that thing holy shit

Honestly your entire aesthetic is basically “if you don’t want to do anything, do it for your younger self” and I LIVE by that

I remember getting the purple one for Christmas one year. I hated it 😂Never showed any interest in wanting one, and I was terrified of any electronic toys because my uncle had a skinned Furby he kept on the shelf in his room. Horribly traumatic for small me. Cool to see there's more to these guys than Furby knockoffs though!

Man..I used to have a complete collection of the McDonald's toys as a kid and never even knew what Fijit Friends were entirely until the 2021 nostalgiacore craze sparking my curiosity and urge to research. I ended up finding SOME parts of my old collection but it was only a Twango and 2 Poppyseeds (all were doubles I remember getting 😭)

I remembered the commercial and how I instantly was glued to Wila. I got her for Christmas and she was so adorable! I loved how she was the fashion/artsy girly out of the group!

I just remembered these existed yesterday, but I couldn't think of what they were called. I had the purple one, Willa. I think she's still around here somewhere, probably in a moving box. I loved her so much as a child.

I remember shoving one of the purple ones in a container. When my family moved, it glitched out and wouldn't stop talking and moving. I'm pretty sure I started punching it. Good memories

Dude...the level of sticky the plastic skin would get. I wasn't sure if it was me or if it was just super sticky sometimes
