AN iconic ’90s character is set to hit the middle aisle at Lidl later this week.
The nostalgic toy created a craze when it was first released, solidifying itself as a “must-have” of a generation.
Anyone who was alive in the late ’90s and early noughties is all to familiar with this highly-sought-after furry toy.
Furbies were originally launched in autumn 1998, with 1.8 million sold before the end of the year.
In 1999, a further 14 million Furby toys were sold, with a total of 40 million being cleared of shelves by the end of 2000.
Resembling a sort of hamster-owl hybrid, these toys had speaking capabilities, with 14 languages available.
Now, you can relive your childhood or share your fond memories with the next generation as Lidl have launched a £7.99 Hasbro Furby Furblet.
Available now in the middle isle, this retro toy is available in six different characters.
According to manufacturers, the “small and cute electronic toy” is designed to emit “45 fun tones, sounds, and Furbish phrases”.
Each five centimetre character comes with a handy clip for attaching to school bags.
Recommended for ages six and older, the item has a two-year warranty.
And Furbies aren’t the only beloved ’90s toys to make a recent comeback.

Jellycats were even named to appeal to their target audience.
Known for their unique and innovative designs, the collectible items have seen a recent resurgence in popularity.
This has led to many people selling their beloved collections, with one woman earning £720 per plushie.
Some of the more valuable and rare Jellycats can be worth up to £1,200.
And of course we can’t talk about ’90s-era collectables without mentioning Beanie Babies.
One shopper came across the old school soft toys when browsing a charity shop.
After noticing a price tag of just £3, they nabbed the plushie and listed it online for significantly more.
Rare Beanie Babies have been known to sell online for nine times their original value.
There are six different ’90s buys that are said to be worth a lot of money today.
For more middle aisle buys, you can head to Aldi to nab a budget-friendly gardening gadget.
The shop is also offering discount deals on XL Cadbury Easter eggs this week.
And Lidl also has some middle aisle deals available, including an affordable garden fire pit.
Parents have been racing to the Lidl middle aisle to grab a bargain on sandpits.
