Webkinz Cuddly Koala and Signature Bengal Cat PSI and PSF Revealed!

Webkinz Newz has posted an article revealing the PSI and PSF of two March 2012 Webkinz: the Signature Bengal Cat, and the Cuddly Koala. 

The Cuddly Koala comes with Eucalyptus Tea (PSF), and a Koala Clothing Package (PSI) with currently unknown contents.

The solid pink, glittery fur of this Koala is still not appealing to me. I'm a little curious to see what the clothing it comes with is--I think it's some sort of dress. 6/10

The Signature Bengal Cat comes with a Wild Salmon Souffle (PSF) and Cozy Canopy Bed (PSI).

Ah, how pretty! That's one of the best PSI's I've seen so far for 2012, its fur pattern is lovely, and its PSF looks yummy. 9/10!
The article for this pet adds a somewhat confusing line, however...

Keep an eye on Webkinz Newz for details on where and when you can get this adorable virtual pet!

I think the WKN authors got a little confused there. Strangely enough, a similar line was found in the Welsh Corgi's PSI and PSF article...

Keep checking in with Webkinz Newz for details on how to get this great virtual pet!

However, their articles are not tagged with a "virtual" tag, so these are still definitely plush pets...Yeah. I'm as puzzled as you are.

Webkinz Welsh Corgi PSI and PSF Revealed!

The PSI and PSF for the Webkinz Welsh Corgi, a March 2012 pet, have been revealed at Webkinz Newz.
It's a cute one, looks a little square but it is a stocky dog in real life. It comes with a PSI of a Royal Guard Station, and a PSF of a Ewe Stew. The PSI is neat. Overall, I give this pet...9/10.

PSI and PSF of Webkinz Radiant Rhino Revealed!

The PSI and PSF for the Webkinz Radiant Rhino, which will be released in March 2012, have been revealed.

This sparkling pet comes with a PSI of a Sunny Savannah Window, and a PSF of a Sparkling Soda.

I am admittedly somewhat irritated by its ears being disproportionately small to its head, the result being that it looks slightly rabbit-y, but otherwise it's pretty cute. The PSI is pretty, though not incredibly unique, and the same goes for the PSF. Overall, I give this pet a 7/10.

Ganz Releases Sneak Peek of Webkinz Clover Lion at Webkinz Newz

Ganz has released news about the Webkinz Clover Lion, a virtual St. Patrick's day pet.
It comes with a PSI of a Hidden Clover Den, and a PSF of a Lucky Medallion Steak.

What a clever pet this is, with its clover for a mane! Place it in a room with the Sunflower and Poinsettia Lions, and you can make a small garden. I wonder if this is a subtle hint towards what next year's series of monthly themed pets is?

Webkinz Curly Camel PSI and PSF Revealed!

The PSI and PSF of the Webkinz Curly Camel, a new pet that will be released in March 2012, have been revealed at Webkinz Newz. This sweet camel will come with a Sand Dune Den PSI, and a Mirage Milkshake PSF.

Very good work on the PSF! It makes me want some ice cream now. 9/10!
The PSI is well designed, I love the little cacti everywhere. 9/10
The Camel itself is great! It's silly little smile is really cute. 10/10!
Not to mention, the box design is great. Why can't we keep the boxes for our pets as some sort of decoration?  The designs are awesome.

Sneak Peek of Webkinz Signature Bengal Cat and Adventure Park Valentine's Quest Grand Prize

The Signature Bengal Cat will come to stores in March 2012! What beautiful eyes and markings it has.

Also, Ganz has announced a sneak peek of what the grand prize for the Adventure Park Valentine's Quest is...

The Chocolate Factory Machine! Remember, the Valentine's Quest can be played by any Webkinz World member, regardless of if they have an Adventure Park pet or not!

WKN Posts Sneak Peek of Webkinz Cuddly Koala

The Cuddly Koala pet will be in stores March 2012.

I find it to be much too pink and sparkly for my liking. Perhaps if the sparkles around its eyes were removed, and more colors were added so it wouldn't be entirely pink, then I would like it more. Still interested to see what its PSI and PSF are.

WKN Announces A New Adventure Park Quest for Any WW Member to Play!

Ganz has posted an article recently at Webkinz Newz.
As you may know, the Adventure Park is a place added to WW back in August 2011. However, only owners of a Chimpanzee, Spotted Frog, Koala, Pink Pony, Mud Hippo, or Spotted Leopard could enter, and only those who had adopted those pets after August 2011 could participate in the quests. Later on, Ganz added the Husky, Fox, and Velvety Elephant to the Adventure Park, but again, only those who adopted them after October 2011 could use them in quests. Of course, WW fans were quite annoyed by this, especially those who already owned all of those pets and couldn't/wouldn't buy another one of the same pet.


Well, that is momentarily no longer an issue! Ganz has announced that, for the entire month of February, ALL Webkinz World members will be able to access the Adventure Park to play the Valentine's Quest! So no matter what pet you own or when it was adopted, you'll be able to play this quest! What great news this is!

WKN Posts Sneak Peek of Webkinz Radiant Rhino

The Webkinz Radiant Rhino will be in stores March 2012.

The electric blue is an awesome color on this pet. However, its sparkly tail and feet look a little out of place.

Wednesday Updates 18/1/12

As promised, the new game, "Scrambled", is out in the Arcade for all to play. 

I express slight concern for the omelet-making chickens.

Valarie VonScribe at Webkinz Newz has posted a how-to video, in case you need a little bit of help. 
In this new game, players are given the role of a chef for a restaurant, serving omelets to hungry Webkinz customers. You earn 1 KinzCash per every 40 points. 
You are given a flat of 12 eggs at the beginning of each level, and they don't regenerate until the start of the next level, so try not to waste them! 

This is what the layout will look like.

At the beginning of each level, a customer will arrive. Click on the customer to get their order.
Wherever the customer sits is where their order appears on that metal clipboard ring up there--for instance, a customer sitting on the far left side of the screen will have their order appear on the far left side of the ring.

Now that you know the customer's order, you can begin to make it. First, click on the egg flat to put the egg in the blender. (the eggshells automatically move to the trashcan under the counter.
Next, click on the bowl with whatever filling the customer wants for their omelet. In this case, it's onion, so click on the bowl with green chunks in it, and it will be added to the blender. Finally, click on the blender to mix it up, and click on the grill in front of your pet to start frying.

At first the omelet will look like this. After a few seconds, it will turn golden brown. Click on it when it does to fold it in half, and wait until it turns golden brown again. Then, click on the customer who ordered that omelet to give it to them.

Now you have served the first customer! Repeat these steps for every customer.
Some tricks I have discovered are:
Put the filling in the blender before the eggs to save a few seconds of time.
You can multitask. For instance, take an order while mixing up the omelet, and serve the omelet to a customer while preparing another one.
If your memory is good, you can try to fry multiple omelets at the same time.
If frying multiple omelets, don't serve one to a customer while pouring another onto the grill. You'll lose the omelet you've just poured.
You can blend the omelet before the filling is all the way to the blender.

Unlike what I previously thought, the customers in the game are totally randomized Webkinz, not some of your own. However, the pet you're playing as is the chef. The game is a good choice for those who play games for KinzCash, however, it can get pretty confusing very quickly. Practice will be key for this game! 
Remember that you get a neat trophy if you get past Level 10. 

To celebrate this new game, Webkinz Newz is having a Click-To-Win. Daily from Jan. 19-27, 2012, (excepting Jan. 21 and 26) watch for a flying omelet at Webkinz Newz. Click on it and fill in the form to win an Omelet, Egg Chair, or Egg T-Shirt! Exciting!

Here they are!

The Clubhouse has been updated, and The Classroom has been added.
Unfortunately, with the new layout, you cannot choose what room number you end up in, as it appears that this system has been done away with entirely and everybody ends up in the same room. 

I've made a list of the gains and losses from this new system.

There are more items added to the Winter 2012 KinzStyle Outlet line.

These items are:

• Blue Earmuffs (120 KC)
• Embellished Foldover Boot (170 KC)
• Flannel Cuff Khakis (210 KC)
• Fuzzy Winter Hat (90 KC)
• Lime Bubble Coat (160 KC)
• Mock Neck Sweater (140 KC)
• Polar Fleece Coat (150 KC)
• Sequin Hemmed Jeans (200 KC)
• Stay Warm Sweater (250 KC)

Goodness, it's expensive for a Webkinz to stay warm in style. 

Three new Challenges have been added. 
 
 They are the Jungle Safari Challenge, CampKinz Counselor in Training Challenge, and CampKinz Counselor. 

Plush Image of New Webkinz "Curly Camel" Posted at Webkinz Newz!

This cute camel will be in stores March 2012!

We'll have to wait a few weeks to see what its PSI, PSF, and virtual image are. Until then, I'll just be fawning over how adorable this Curly Camel is! (despite its lack of curls.)

Ganz Posts PSI and PSF of Webkinz Cosmic Bear

I, for one, welcome the Mystic Moon Bear's twin.

Webkinz Newz has just posted the PSI and PSF of another virtual pet, the Cosmic Bear. (or the Purple Mystic Moon Bear, if you'd prefer. I say they're twins.) It comes with a Levitating Loveseat PSI, and Moon Rock Candy PSF. The Mystic Moon Bear was only available with the purchase of 75,000 eStore points (75 US dollars), plus it was only around from August 8-11 2011, so let's hope that this will be a much cheaper choice!

I think this is a beautiful pet, even if it's basically a purple Mystic Moon Bear. I find purple to be a more flattering color on this bear anyway! And that is one pretty PSI. Applause!

Webkinz Newz Posts Sneak Peek of Updated Clubhouse Coming 18/1/12

Their account has 1 hundred million, one hundred and thirty-six thousand, six hundred and eighty Kinz Cash. What is this I don't even

 

Webkinz Newz has recently posted a sneak-peek of the new Clubhouse layout, seen above. This new layout will include color-coded rooms, coded by the color of the thumbtack; a room previewer, demonstrated below; and more rooms, one of which, The Classroom, we can already see. I'm hoping that, based on the extra space added to the board, that this will allow more rooms to be added without getting rid of currently existing ones.

It also appears that pets will be given more phrases to say. And, this could just be looking too hard, but see those items in the player's dock? They're all FSI (figure specific items). Could this be a secret sneak-peek of future Treasure Hunt prizes in the future? If so, then we'll all be able to search for Series 1 figurines. Provided this is true, then be prepared to find, in order of appearance--Summer Vacation Dalmatian figure, KinzPinz Panda figure, Soccer Star Chocolate Lab figure, Cool and Casual Pinto figure, Happy Birthday Cheeky Monkey figure, and Fire Chief Elephant figure.
Or I could be thinking too hard, and the player just likes to collect chairs. ^ ^

Webkinz Newz Posts PSI and PSF of Chillaxin Penguin

WKN has recently posted the PSI and PSF for another unannounced pet, the Chillaxin Penguin. Once again, this pet has no information posted about them other than their PSI (Arctic Airplane) and PSF (Frosty Sardine). Stay tuned for when we figure out how this pet is obtained.

I'm fond of the flower on its belly, and of the sparkles on its head, flippers, and feet. And that's one of the most creatively drawn PSFs I've seen in a while! Great job, Webkinz designers.

WKN Offers Sneak Peek of New Arcade Game: "Scrambled"

Webkinz Newz has just posted a preview of a new Arcade game, "Scrambled", coming to WW this Wednesday, January 18, 2012. 

Why on Earth you would need a blender to make an omelet is beyond me...

 It appears that the gameplay for this new game is a combination of Pizza Palace (fast-paced restaurant theme) and the Cooking class at the Kinzville Academy (waiting until the omelet cooks just right). It seems that whatever pet you're playing as will act as the chef and cashier, and that completely randomized pets (perhaps some of your own?) will be the customers. We do know that you get 1 KinzCash per every 40 points earned, which could make this a good game to play if you play Arcade games for profit. It has also been confirmed that after passing the 10th level, the player will be given a trophy.

Snowy Summit Wolf PSI and PSF Revealed!

Ganz has recently posted the PSI and PSF of a previously unannounced pet, the Snowy Summit Wolf, at WKN.

This wintery wolf comes with a Snowy Mountain Peak PSI and a Wolf Pack Snack PSF. No further details on this pet have been given, other than a note saying "keep your eyes on Webkinz Newz for more details on how to acquire this pet".

It's a neat pet, and I love its tiny fangs and the snow piled atop its head, but I'm starting to notice that there's a long line of pets with mountain PSIs. I guess it's good if you're making a mountainous forest room?

All Day Activity for POTM Reindeer Owners, for some reason

Webkinz World players who check the Daily Activities page should find that there is an all day activity, Bonus Token Balloon Darts, for those who own the POTM, the Reindeer.
The only problem with this is that the Reindeer was December 2011's POTM. The current Pet of the Month is the Grey Langur, for which no activities have appeared for today. 

Perhaps this is the result of an error in coding that caused a lineup of events in December to appear today. Or it could be intentional, as I participated in the event without any errors. Maybe this is something Ganz has prepared for the upcoming months--allowing a day for the previous POTM? I find it to be rather strange, what do you think?
