Today is Webkinz Day!

Today, we celebrate 7 years of Webkinz World!

Players who log into their accounts today shall find a gift box in their dock...or not. Instead, a fairly large number of players are receiving two gift boxes instead of one. Upon clicking the button that allows you to see your full dock, the second gift box appears. It's unknown whether or not this is supposed to happen, or if it's just a glitch, but hey--double the gifts. The downside to this is that this means the Year 7 gifts might be worth a bit less for trading due to their increased quantity. I'm only going to open one gift box and see what happens to the other in a few weeks, but do whatever you want with your extra one.

Also, don't forget to spin the Super Wheel! This is an event that lasts all day, but it only appears on certain occasions, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween (but not last year, for some reason) and Webkinz Day.

Demo accounts do not get to spin the Super Wheel!

This here is the Super Wheel for Webkinz Day 2012:

Players who spin the Wheel today can win one of the following items.
  1. 750 KinzCash
  2. After Party Serving [Station?] (an eStore item)
  3. Kinzvision Plasma TV
  4. Golden Apple Tree (an adoption/Wish Factory exclusive)
  5. 500 KinzCash
  6. Fast Food Recycling (Curio Shop exclusive)
  7. Wraparound Computing Chamber (animated W-Shop item that costs 3,215 KinzCash)
  8. Time Warp Clock (adoption/Wish Factory exclusive)

I won the Wraparound Computing Chamber. Did you win anything really cool? Feel free to leave a comment!


But enough talk; I suppose you guys want to see what the gifts are this year, huh? To keep the prizes from being spoiled for those who'd rather not know yet, check after the break.

Wednesday Updates April 25, 2012

Sorry about the delay. Went camping on Wednesday.

The second half of the Spring clothing has been added to the KinzStyle Outlet. 

From the top left corner to the bottom right corner, these clothes are:
-Striped Cotton Dress--300 KC
-Layered Skirt--200 KC
-High Cut Runners--175 KC
-Purple Denim Jeans--225 KC
-Long Knit Sweater--185 KC
-Blue Argyle Sweater--190 KC
-Spring Fedora--150 KC
-Beige Toque--80 KC
-Lemon Lime Sash--110 KC
-Checkered Board Shorts--200 KC

Also, three more WKN exclusive clothing items have been added.
GanzWorld Striped Cotton Dress; GanzWorld Layered Skirt; GanzWorld Spring Fedora

 These three items--along with the second half of the Spring line--can be found from April 27-May 9 at Webkinz Newz, in a click-to-win. Just look for the floating PJ Collie to win!

Two new Challenges have been added in Webkinz World.

These next few weeks, at least, will be a doozy for players keeping up with their Challenges!
The first is CampKinz Canoe Trip, which is unlocked after completing the CampKinz Counselor challenge. This Canoe Trip challenge is categorized as a Mega Challenge, which, according to WKN, has "more challenging tasks and better prizes". This challenge is the first Mega Challenge in Webkinz World!

And by Mega, they are not kidding. I just checked, and these are the first three tasks in the challenge:
Ask your friends for 30 Maps
Earn a total of 25,000 points playing Pinky's Big Adventure
And...earn a total of 250 KinzCash playing Zacky's Quest in the Arcade
Dear goodness. It's a good thing that those KinzCash and points will accumulate over plays, so you don't have to get it all in one shot. Let's get to playing, I suppose! 

The second challenge is Plumpy's Great Advice, named after the book of the same name. It is unlocked after completing the Smarty Pants challenge. If you have a free vacation ticket, save it for this challenge--you will need it. This challenge is much easier in comparison to the one above--buy a hat, buy a book, earn 3,000 points in Goober's Lab. There are, however, 6 sets of tasks.

Contrary to what the WKN article said, the Webkinz Road Trip map has not been added to the site. 

The article in question said that the Road Trip map would be added to the site on April 25, but they either haven't put it there yet, or they did and just hid it really well. 

A Retro Replay Video Challenge has been added to the POTM video, "Tiger Tiger". 

The video, which was made for the Bengal Tiger (POTM for July two years ago) featured an unidentified pink monkey wearing some sort of dress that you couldn't find anywhere else. The monkey later turned out to be a Glamorous Gorilla, which was released a few months later. And now, you can get her outfit, too!
Just watch the Tiger Tiger Retro Replay video here, and answer the trivia to win this dazzling Dance Party Dress:
Your pet even wears the bracelets!
And yes, the dress can be traded and sent in KinzPost. 

They finally fixed that thing where when you win stuff it doesn't show up in a window

Here, here, let me explain it.
A lot of months back, Ganz added a feature where, when you won a prize from WKN, a window would appear upon logging into your account that would tell you exactly what you won. This was a really helpful feature, especially for click-to-wins with random prizes, as there is an incredibly high amount of players who had so many items in their docks that they couldn't take the time to discover what they'd won.
Unfortunately, a few months later, accounts with a certain amount of pets found that the window didn't show up for them anymore. Eventually, nobody was able to see the window.

As of today's update, my account with 16 pets on it is able to see the window! (where we discover that we've won yet another rain coat.)

And in Let's Talk Webkinz related news, sometime today, we reached our 10,000th pageview!

Plus, we got 99 pageviews in all of yesterday, which happens to be the current record on this blog. Huzzah! The viewership has been doubled! 
Thank you to everyone for helping us get this far!

Ganz Reveals June 2012 List of Pets

Ganz has announced the plush Webkinz pets for June 2012, along with the July POTM.

June is going to be a rather meager month, with 2 Webkinz and 1 signature being released. And here they are...

The Summer Beaver, which is basically a pink, bipedal beaver with orange dots.

Can I make a small complaint for a second? They really need to learn how to adjust their camera settings. It just makes the Beaver look neon./endcomplaint
Moving on to our second pet, which is the Cocoa Lab.
Do not get this confused with the Chocolate Lab! The Chocolate Lab was released in 2009, is retired, has its Magic W on its back right paw, and looks like this:
That's my Lab, BTW. Her name's Ella.
The Signature for June is the Ragdoll Cat!
Simply gawgeous, dahling.

And July's POTM is the Puckerfish. what

Also, the Yellow Fluffy Cub and Tyrannosaurus, two new virtual pets, have been officially revealed on Webkinz Newz. (and it turns out that I was right, the T-Rex's PSI is named Amber Armchair)
The T-rex comes with an Amber Armchair PSI, and Gigantic Jawbreaker PSF.
The Yellow Fluffy Cub comes with a Totally Fun Toy Box PSI and Honeycomb Porridge PSF.

Keibell here,

I would like to inform you that on facebook we will be giving out clues, for the Birthday Scavenger Hunt! If you want more clues, or if you want to get closer to winning the prize than check us out on facebook!

In the posts, look for words that are underlined or in a smaller font than usual.

Rules
Write down the words you find. They will form a sentence at the end of the scavenger hunt. The words, however, will not be given out in order, so you must make them make sense on your own!

The words will not appear in posts made before the scavenger hunt began. None of the words are in this post, either.
The first person to find out what the sentence is will win a prize!

The Webkinz Road Trip to Return for May-October 2012

Webkinz Newz has confirmed that the Webkinz Road Trip will, in fact, return in 2012.


You can read more about the Road Trips of the past here (2010) and here (2011), but the basics of the event is that, for the entire summer, Ganz brings out the Webkinz Road Trip Van, and travels all across the USA to different locations.
For 2012, the Road Trip begins May 1, and ends in October.
Once the van sets up at the location of the day, then Webkinz fans can stop by--admission is free--and play fun activities such as spinning the Wheel of WOW, tossing Zumbuddy plushies through targets, guessing the amount of Jellybeans in a jar, singing along to Pet of the Month songs, answering Webkinz trivia questions, and maybe even more in 2012! The best part is that for practically every activity, one can win Webkinz Trading Cards, figurines, clothing for their Webkinz Plush, Kinz Klips, stickers, and the Best of KinzTunes CD. On top of all of this, you get a free code for an exclusive Webkinz Road Trip Van, just for showing up!

The map for this year's event will be on WKN on April 25.

If all of this sounds fun, then the so-far published list of events and places can be found below. If you live in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Minnesota, or Texas, then the Road Trip Van is scheduled to stop at least once in your state!

Additional states with predetermined locations, but not dates, are:
Columbus, Ohio (Ohio State Fair)
St. Paul, Minnesota (Minnesota State Fair)
Dallas, Texas (State Fair of Texas)
Do please take into account that it is not a rare happenstance for the day's events to be cancelled. If you want to go to the Road Trip, please call the store you'll be visiting ahead of time to make sure the Van will still be visiting.

Wednesday Updates April 11 2012

The Spring 2012 Clothing Items Released To KinzStyle Outlet; Winter 2012 Line Retired 2 Weeks Earlier Than Announced


Not a large array of clothing this Spring, but what is offered is quite nice! I'm particularly fond of that Zum Buckled Belt.
They are, from upper left to lower right:
Tan Leather Skirt (200 KC)
Denim Dress (325 KC)
Striped Turtle Neck (180 KC)
Spiral Designer Dress (350 KC)
Laced Heels (250 KC)
Gray Cardigan (110 KC)
Polka Dot Rain Boots (125 KC) (does not come with rain puddle)
Polka Dot Rain Hat (90 KC)
Polka Dot Rain Coat (200 KC)
Zum Buckled Belt (75 KC)

In addition to these clothes, three pieces of WKN Exclusive clothing will be available somehow in the future, if you're interested in Springtime Laced Heels, a Springtime Leather Skirt, or a Springtime Cardigan. 

Additionally, the entire Winter 2012 line has been retired a full update later than expected! WKN announced that these clothes would be retired from the KinzStyle Outlet on April 25, but this is apparently no longer true. You can see all of these clothes in this LTW article.

A new Roleplaying room has been added to the Clubhouse. 


This new room is called the "Glam Boutique", and it's the perfect place to let your inner girly girl frolic. (Or to stay far far away from. The WKN article uses the word "glam/glamorous" 7 times not including the headline, so...)
There are lines for a stylist, a receptionist, and a client.

Webkinz have hair. Invisible hair. It's canon!(?)

Congrats, random Jellybean Puppy/Pig/Tawny Pup/Chipmunk, you're in the news. (I'm the Okapi.)

 Webkinz has released a new Lite App for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. 

This game is called "Cloud Corral", and it's free to play up to level 5. It is not in the Webkinz World Arcade, too--app only!
Shiny Zumbuddy! His name is Zoom.
In this game, you need "ample wit and skill" to defeat those clouds sent in by Nafaria. How? We dunno; WKN wasn't too detailed. Buy purchasing the full version of Cloud Corral, you can collect KinzCash to send to your Webkinz World account.

The second half of the Creative Studio theme has been released in the W-Shop.

It consists of :

-Art Easel, 200 KC. Click on it and it will paint a picture for you.
-Art Painting Wall Art, 90 KC. Features the same scene the Art Easel paints.
-Art Station, 400 KC.
-Beanstalk Art Poster, 60 KC. 
-Ice Sculpture Fridge, 780 KC. Can store 6 food items.
-Music Guitar Table, 375 KC. Works like any ol' table.
-Music Note Chair, 250 KC.
-Music Note Wall Art, 50 KC.
-Potter Kiln Oven, 350 KC. Operates like an ordinary oven.
-Potter's Wheel, 550 KC. Complete with chair to sit on.
-Theatre Bed, 800 KC. Exactly what it says on the tin.

So for the price of 7,175 KC to buy the entirety of a creative, innovative theme, that's not too bad!

A new Video Challenge has been added for "Mustache Louie".

By watching the POTM video for the Schnauzer, the Pet for January 2010, and answering some trivia, you will win this Pretty Flower Dress here for your Webkinz pet.

Pink Dalmatian, Signature Normande Cow, and Airborne Puppy PSI and PSF Revealed!

The Pink Dalmatian, a new pet to be released in May 2012, comes with a Cream Soda Slushy PSF, and a Sapphire Lamp Post PSI.
Before you say something about the PSI being named wrong, please take into account that sapphires are not strictly blue: yellow and green sapphires are a common occurrence, and pink, orange, and even brown sapphires exist. /the more you know

The Signature Normande Cow comes with a Silo Storage Tower PSI, and a Foie Grass PSF. Surprisingly plain PSI for a Signature, but I bet it holds an amazing amount of items.
 And we have a surprise new pet: the Airborne Puppy!
This cloud-chasing canine comes with a Cloud Control Station PSI, and a filling Winged Wet Food PSF.
All we know about this pet is that it is virtual-only.

Spring Celebration Gift Baskets Arrive in Webkinz World

The Spring Celebration, Webkinz World's equivalent to Easter, has arrived today. Players logging into their accounts today only will find not only their daily Milk Chocolate Egg, but also a Springtime Celebration gift basket--check after the break to discover what's inside.


Saturday, April 7, 2012

Webkinz Mallard Duck PSI and PSF Revealed

The PSI is a Playful Pond, and its PSF is a Wild Granola Bar.
The PSI and PSF of the Webkinz Mallard Duck, a new pet to be released in May 2012, has been revealed at Webkinz Newz. 

I can't say that I find this to be the most interesting of PSI and PSF choices. The pet itself is well done, however.

Our April 6th Newsletter

Welcome to our forth  weekly newsletter!
Before we begin, I would like you all to know that the LTW newsletters will be released once a month , rather than once a week. 
Before we get started I (Keibell) would like to say that the newsletter cannot be as long this month due to many different things, but don't worry because we have a short newsletter! 
   
                                             Interview With Ganz!
In which Carmen  and Keibell tell about our interview with Ganz

Contest!
In which Keibell and Carmen are telling you about our contest! 

Craft!
This is where Keibell will show you our Webkinz video

Contact Us!
This is where we give you a link to our "like" page on Facebook.

Interview With Ganz:



I just got off the phone with a lovely lady who was answering my questions about Webkinz World.
At first I tried to speak to Howard Ganz, creator of Webkinz World, himself but he was in a meeting, so I was directed to Susan.
She works for Webkinz, and she knows some of the computer designers. She was very passionate about her job. She was very helpful and I would like to say thank you!
 Interview Time!

KeiKei: I heard that the Webkinz Rockerz are supposed to have a PSI, a VIP Pass, and a Pet Specific Outfit.

Susan: Well...we are still playing around with stuff, so just keep on the lookout!

Kei: Who is running the Facebook and Twitter pages?

Susan: Bonnie is in charge of that, as well as the Newz.

Kei: Why did Mr. Howard Ganz come up with Webkinz World?

Susan: Back in 2005, kids were starting to play on the computer instead of with stuffed animals, so he came up with a way to combine stuffed animals with the computer.

Susan: There are designers for the Webkinz pets, who create everything about that pet. There's a separate team for Webkinz World itself, and another team for the Wednesday updates. When a new Webkinz pet is made, we also have seamstresses that make one of that pet, to send to the factory so the rest can be made. They are always thinking up new crazy, cool, and cute Webkinz!

Ganz Reveals "Blue Batik Elephant" On Their Facebook Page

In recognition of Autism Awareness Day, Ganz posted a picture on their Facebook page of a Blue Googles, Hippo, and Splash Dragon lined up on a desk. Amongst them was an elephant that has never been seen before:
It uses the base design of the Batik Elephant, but this fellow is blue, and has daisy patterns. Normally, new Webkinz are revealed 2-3 months ahead on Webkinz Newz, however, there has been no word about this pet, making it one of the most quietly revealed Webkinz there is.

Speculation time!
  • Beta design of the Batik Elephant, that they kept?
  • Autism Awareness mascot at Ganz HQ?
  • Really clever use of Photoshop?
  • A personal project of one of the seamstresses?
  • A pet available only to the staff?
  • A Webkinz pet that will come to stores in the Fall?
Guess away!

April is Autism Awareness Month!
Some facts about autism:
-1 in 54 boys are affected as opposed to 1 in 252 girls.
-it is more common than cystric fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, Downs Syndrome, juvenile diabetes, childhood cancer, cerebral palsy, and pediatric AIDS--combined.
-Prevalence is estimated at 1 in 88 births.

A few other ways to spread awareness in Webkinz World:
~Run around with a blue or rainbow pet and/or dress your pet in blue
~Get a blue or rainbow pet and name it Autism Awareness
~You can join Autism Awareness parades in the Kinzville Park, being organized at Webkinz Insider. (you can also find a lot more information on the subject there.)
