Yes, I have two furbies posted, and they both work. The black and white stripped furby has never been taken out of the box. The lid has been opened, but it is still attacked with the plastic to the box. The other black and white one has been used for two hours. It does work. I put it back into the box as soon as I got finished playing with the furby. It still has the tag attached. The box is torn on the botton left hand side, and you can see that in the picture. All of the cardboard is still there.
