Furby – $900
Back in 1998, Furbies, which are furry talking owls, were the biggest “it” toys. Many parents wanted to get their hands on one because of how popular they were. They’re inarguably not the cutest stuffed toy but they had a voice box that allowed small talk, at least in their language of Furbish.
As per TIME, there were 1.8 million Furbies sold in the year of the release alone. This number rose to 14 million by the following year. Unfortunately, when the millennium arrived, its popularity started to wane down. Although the company discontinued the release in 2007, it resurrected the toy in 2012.
