Summer Sensation is Today!

Log into your WW account today to receive your Summer Sensation prize!

You can get it today and today only (unless it, for some reason, appears in a Challenge later on).

 The prize is the Turtle-pool shown in the card above, but most accounts (including mine) are not getting the prize. They'll probably show up by next week, or you can call Ganz.

Do not forget to spin the Super Wheel!

Available from 6 AM KT to 12 AM KT, the Super Wheel contains the following items:

• 750 KC
• Red Ming Lantern (eStore item)
• Ancient Aztec Stone Statue (recently added Exclusive item)
• Neo Gothic Fireplace (current Rare item)
• 500 KC
• Thinking Chair (retired Rare item)
• Mega Stove (incredibly expensive W-Shop item)
• Clown Car (Exclusive item)

I got 750 KC. :p
Demo accounts still cannot access the Super Wheel! This is not a glitch, merely a limitation.

Tomorrow is Summer Sensation!

(or today for Asian accounts.)

Log in for an exclusive prize and one of the rare opportunities to spin the Super Wheel!

Wednesday Updates: June 20, 2012

The Summer line has arrived in the KinzStyle Outlet.

Also included in the current selection is the fashionable undefined, available in 6 extremely subtly different shades of Background Blue. (seriously though, I don't know what's up with that. Placeholders that messed up for the next update's second half of the line?)

The items that are defined, though, are as follows (from the top left corner to the bottom right corner):

Camo Trucker Cap---190 KC
Dog Bone Belt---60 KC
Floral Long Dress---250 KC
Girl's Khaki Shorts---95 KC (pffft male Webkinz could so wear that)
High Heel Sandals---150 KC
Leather Sandals---75 KC
Lime Green Shorts---80 KC
One Piece Summer Shorts---90 KC ("Nothing says summer like shorts! Your pet will love this one piece pair!" ...a singular item can become a pair while remaining a singular item?)
Rockerz Visor---80 KC
Striped Board Shorts---110 KC (I think this may be recycled from last year)

Show of hands: everyone who thinks the prices are a little inconsistent. [SHORTS! Available for females in brown for 15 KC more! SANDALS! Add heels for 75 KC more!]

Not seeing anything else to report, so I'll add that Webkinz is really going all-out with the "Webkinz is free to play" thing. They've started running in-game ads, reported it on WKN, and updated the home page to relate.

And that demo account I started on March 22 2012 is still operational, so I'm assuming there isn't a time limit for demo accounts. Lettie, the cat who lives in that account, is having her birthday on June 27 (the day before the Summer Sensation) apparently. Woot~ I got no idea how old she is, though. (I give my pets ages based on how old I think they are, not on how long I've owned them.)

August 2012 Pets Revealed on WKN

The first pet announced is the cutest monkey around, the Golden Lion Tamarin!

What lovely colors it sports.

Next up is the next addition to the collection of mythical and fantasy horses, the Sapphire Pegasus!

Its wings are a little too close to its head, though, but it is a very pretty Pegasus!

The third pet is the Texting Puppy. Yes. There is officially the personification of texting, and it is in the form of a small dog.

...that's just a lil' bit nutty. Wonder how they're going to fit so much text onto its virtual form?

Back to the simpler things with the Signature West Highland Terrier.

...*silently adds to wishlist*

We have 2 new Rockerz pets to add as well!

 We start with the Rockerz Monkey, which you can see by its mark is a "Punky Monkey".
Much better in the ways of a pet using text as a pattern; much less going on. Love how the tail's a completely different fabric, too.
Do not confuse with last year's Mohawk Monkey! Yes, they both are primates with funky hair, but the Mohawk monkey is beige and has fluff around its ankles, is not in the Rockerz line, has pink in its hair, and is not quadrupedal.

Next is the Rockerz Papillon (Pop Star Papillon, you can know it as)

That funny-lookin' mitt around its paw is actually some sort of bracelet. (Fashionable Asymmetry, I guess?)
I would so give that headband to a Razzle Dazzle Dog, just to see how it looks.

Bet you're wondering where this week's Wednesday Update is

So Kei and I are in this 4-day long drama camp-thing in which we all get together to work on music, production, dance, and drama (we each get to work in 2 of the things off that list) and then on the 4th day, after our final classes, we put together a performance for the public.
Long story short, I've got a day (23 hours if you wanna be literal) to learn 13 lines for my part, so I'mma disappear until Friday.

While we're on the subject of disappearing, next week is show week for a play I'm in with Kei, so don't expect too much activity blogwise 'til July.

New Stops Added to Webkinz Road Trip

Good news for those living in or near Kentucky, Wyoming, or Utah--the Webkinz Road Trip is planning to stop by!
Kentucky will see the van in Greyson on June 19 at 11 AM-1 PM. Utah can find the van at Midvale on July 9 and Ogden on July 10 (at 1-3 PM and 12-2 PM, respectively). Wyoming should prepare for July 12 at Casper!

Rest of July 2012 Webkinz PSI and PSF Revealed

We'll start with the Sunset Giraffe, a cute new pal with a mosaic of colors--and that's no tall tale! okay sorry that was terrible

It comes with a Tallest Toy Box PSI, and a Twiggy Pudding PSF.

For a walk on the wild side, we have the Coyote!

After a day of exploring, it walks across its Canyon Crosswalk PSI back home for a Prairie Omelet dinner.

And on this side of the ring, we have the Boxer!

After getting in its daily training in its Boxing Ring Trampoline, the Boxer looks forward to Champion Treats!

The Signature pet for July is the Hippopotamus!

In its spare time, the Signature Hippopotamus likes to ride around on its Muddy River Raft Ride, snacking on Short Grass Samosas.

A new addition to the Rockerz line! An eStore pet available now for 15,000 points (15 US$), the Rockerz Puppy is...oddly reminiscent of Justin Beiber. Honestly, look at the hair, the purple, and the clothing it comes with. 
Aaaaand it really does not want me to show the picture. Just follow this link to the WKN article instead. 

Wednesday Updates: June 6, 2012

 Don't forget to log in today for your DiceKinz Trophy!

DiceKinz was sadly brought to retirement today, but players who log in can get a commemorative trophy to remember the game by.

A new game has been added to the Arcade.

This Webkinz Rockerz-themed game is called Rockerz Backstage Dash. In this Home Before Dark-based game, players guide the Rockerz pets to the party while collecting VIP passes along the way for extra points. This game does, in fact, reward players with a trophy--those who collect 4,000 or more points in a single game are given a Rockerz Backstage Pass Trophy, an exclusive and animated prize. Good luck, players!

Two new Challenges have been added.

If you really love a good challenge, then the next Mega Challenge has arrived. The second installment in the recently introduced series of Mega Challenges, it is called "Webkinz Wizard Academy", and is unlocked after the completion of the "Cheerleader Tryouts" Challenge. The rare Magic Cauldron Stove is one of the many prizes in store for aspiring wizards and witches of Webkinz World. 
After the completion of the previously mentioned Mega Challenge, one can do the "Roberta's Birthday" Challenge.

The Wizard Academy Challenge is definitely a blatant reference to Harry Potter--in the first list of tasks, you grow Pumpkins for Herbology, and you win a Wizard hat on a stool that looks like a cheerier version of the Sorting Hat. 

Two SPREE! prizes are scheduled for retirement. 

 

All SPREE! players had better put the pedal to the metal, because on July 4th, 2 prizes will be retired from the SPREE! shopping mall.
So if you have a young percussionist or shopaholic in your Webkinz home, then take note! The Designer Purse and Drum Set will be retired from the SPREE! mall on July 4. The Purse costs 140 Credits; the Drums, 500.

The second half of the Mega Modern Room Theme has been added.

The entire theme's cost ends up at 7,550 if you buy one of each item including wallpaper and floor, which is still pretty cheap.

The new items are...

Cubic Contour Cabinet--550 KC (and holds 10 clothing items)
Dehydrotrope Drink Bar--615 KC (you can put items on it)
Dehydrotrope Drink Bar Chair--200 KC (your pet can sit on it)
LED Entertainment Unit--900 KC (works like a regular TV; priciest item in the theme)
Mosaic Mirror Set--300 KC (decoration only)
Omni Glass Dining Chair--220 KC (your pet can sit on it)
Omni Glass Dining Table--680 KC (you can put items on it)
Oval Contour Cabinet--380 KC (and holds 10 clothing items)
Sonic Sound Waves Set--550 KC (plays music)
Stasis Seat--300 KC (your pet can sit on this item)

I went ahead and picked up the Sonic Sound Waves Set because it is the coolest W-Shop item I have ever seen. It is three tiles wide and one tile long. It actually plays not one, but three different songs! I was actually taken aback by that--I've never known a Webkinz World item to do that. The item is not animated when the songs play. To switch songs, click on the Set again.
Song 1--A faster, jazzier remix of the background music that plays in the SPREE! Shopping Mall. It features a more prominent bass guitar and hi-hat cymbals.
Song 2--A song that reminds me of a sunset during summer vacation. I really have no idea how to describe it.
Song 3--Featuring a saxophone, xylophone, and more drums, this song is slower and more relaxed.
Clicking on it a fourth time turns it off.

Webkinz Friends Recieves an Update

For those of you who were noting that Webkinz Friends was too easy, well, now the difficulty has been increased! Which, needless to say, has left many a Webkinz fan very unhappy.

-Energy, formerly taking 3 minutes to regenerate, now takes 5 minutes.
-Certain resources now take longer to grow. (for example, Spaghetti Plant now takes 6 hours instead of 1)
-You can now see certain resources and items that you need to complete a quest to unlock
-For some bizarre reason, it now takes 81 hours to collect from the Curio Shop (the heck happened there?)
-A few of the quests are finally realizing that I've asked friends for things, which is most certainly a bonus. 
-One thing that they admittedly messed up pretty badly: the food-to-time ratio. Carrots still take 5 minutes for 5 units of food, but the rest turned out a little wrong.
Food-Units-Time to grow
Strawberry-9-10 minutes
Sushi-25-2 hours
Tomato-14-45 minutes
Ice Cream Tree-35-3 hours
Zucchini Plant-22-1 hour
Spaghetti Plant-42-6 hours
Cupcake Tree-60-7 hours

-Certain decorations now cost Facebook credits.
Pool=20 Credits
Lovebird Lake=35 Credits (but it gives 900+ town quality)
Hand Sculpted Statue=35 Credits

There's probably a lot more than what I've mentioned, so leave a comment to tell me if I've missed anything. 

I really don't see what everybody's so mad about! Is it so bad that a little handful of items aren't free anymore? And is it really so terrible to have to wait a few more minutes or hours? The nice thing about Webkinz Friends is that, since things run in real time, you don't have to have the page open or even have your computer running for things to grow and regenerate. So you could be spending that extra time doing something else! Ride your bike around the yard, go watch cartoons from the 90's, read that book you really should be reading, practice that song you really need to be practicing, draw something for Drawing Day which happens to be today...

PSI and PSF for FrooFroo Fox and Alpaca

The Alpaca and FrooFroo Fox, both Webkinz pets for release in July 2012, have been revealed in virtual form at WKN.

The Alpaca comes with a Fully Woolly Recliner PSI, Wheatgrass Smoothie PSF, and a wild mop of hair.

The FrooFroo Fox comes with an Elegant Settee PSI, Crayfish Cocktail PSF, and the maintained appearance of a dog rather than a fox.

Ganz Announces Retirements of DiceKinz; Rare Egyptian Theme

Ganz has just announced the upcoming retirement of DiceKinz.

DiceKinz is a game that's been around for many years. Players could play against either a friend or the computer, and would race to see who'd reach the finish line first with dice, strategy, and sometimes luck. Players started with a basic set of dice, but could expand their collections with Pet Packs, which were unlocked after adopting a certain pet (Cocker Spaniel, Panda, Cheeky Cat, etc.). However, Pet Packs were retired on March 30, 2011--except for the Koala pack, probably because it was set to remove all instances of "Pet Pack" from the W-Shop, and the Koala's was called "Koala PetPack".

On June 6, Ganz has announced, the DiceKinz game will be retired from Webkinz World. If you bought a Pet Pack before they were retired, and haven't opened it yet, you can sell it back to the W-Shop for a full refund.
There is a little upside to the retirement of this classic game: on June 6, players with DiceKinz dice in their accounts who log in on that day will receive this lovely trophy, as a memento of their DiceKinz playing days.

Ganz has also announced the retirement of the rare Egyptian theme.

The Egyptian Theme, shown in its entirety* above, is one of the oldest Rare themes in Webkinz World. Pieces of Rare themes are found in the Curio Shop at certain hours, can be found in Trading Card codes, and can be given randomly in the dice you roll when adopting any pet after your 10th.
On June 20, the theme will bid farewell to Webkinz World.

As of this announcement, you've got 29 days to work on completing the theme!
The Webkinz Insider Forum has a widget on the top of the page that shows the Curio Shop's stock for the day, in Asia, Europe, and North America, along with the times they're for sale. If you're looking for the theme, you can find its known times for sale there.
Plumpy the Hippo will also be/has been in the Trading Hall every day this week, with Egyptian theme items for trade! She'll take anything for them. She posts on WKN the times she'll be in the Trading Hall...but so far, nobody's been able to find her!
*except for the Desert Window, which is an adoption exclusive that's been retired anyway.

PSI and PSF for Webkinz Rockerz, Signature Ragdoll Cat, and Purple Floral Fawn Revealed at WKN

We'll start with the much-anticipated Webkinz Rockerz!
They originally had much longer names (Peace, Love, and Moosic Cow; Bad to the Bone Bulldog; Punk Rock Princess Cat; and I keep forgetting the Lion's name), but it appears that they've been shortened to simply Rockerz (whatever animal they are).

The Lion comes with Shock Rock Stage Flames for a PSI, and Heavy Metal Meatballs to eat.
And so, now that the Webkinz had harnessed the power of fire, they went on to create the world's coolest barbeques.

The Rockerz Cat comes with a Dressing Room Vanity PSI, and Funky Fish Sticks PSF. That is among their more creative PSFs! Wonder if the keyboard it's on still works.

The Rockerz Bulldog comes with a Rockin' Drum Set PSI, and a Mosh Pitatoes PSF. Tee hee, puns

Finally, the Rockerz Cow comes with a Groovy Solo Stage PSI, and a Flower Powdered Sugar Cookies PSF. Huzzah, we finally have more microphones! And a really cool one, too.

The Signature Ragdoll Cat, June's Signature pet, comes with a Designer Catwalk PSI, and a Seared Scallops PSF.

The Purple Floral Fawn is a new, virtual Webkinz pet. It comes with a Cozy Log Hideaway PSI, and Apple Blossom Tarts PSF.

Not to be confused with the Purple Floral Fox, which I am to assume is the older relative of this newcomer.
The main difference between these two appearance-wise is that the Fox has a bunch of flowers on its back.

WKN Reveals PSI and PSF for Summer Beaver and Cocoa Lab!

Both of these plush pets will be released in June 2012.

The Summer Beaver comes with a Warm River Spa PSI, and a Cedar Sundae PSF.
...making it the 35th Webkinz (that I've found) to come with some sort of spa, tub, or pond. Webkinz: you cannot escape the cleanliness! That's one tasty-looking PSF, too.

The Cocoa Lab come with Frozen Treat Fridge PSI, and Caramel Ice Pop PSF.
...caramel-flavored ice
Sounds delightful! Or maybe it's just frozen caramel? Either way, the Cocoa Lab still looks way too similar to the Chocolate Lab for my liking.

Though I do not deny that its PSI is quite appealing.

And if you look closely: the water in the Summer Beaver's Item and Food is reflective, and the Cocoa Lab's PSI's umbrella is transparent. I really like when they throw in extra details like that; it adds a nice touch of realism to the Webkinz World.

And finally, there is a Peek-A-Newz going on from May 2-23. Log in here, then look around Webkinz Newz for Wacky Zingoz peeking out from behind advertisements. (it helps to press Ctrl, then scroll down--that makes the page smaller and therefore easier to search quickly.) The prizes for this Peek-A-Newz are hats, posters, and shirts from last year's Road Trip. A perfect opportunity to fill out one's collection!

And for Webkinz fans who use the eStore, it has been announced that for the entire month of May, the virtual-only Emerald Puppy will be for sale! Not only that, but those who purchase this pet first made available in 2010 will get a free Emerald Dragster!

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.

Webkinz Rockerz Virtual Images Revealed on Webkinz Newz

Just their Virtual Images; no PSI, PSF, or any of the other Rockerz features.

This is the "Bad to the Bone Bulldog", which features black stars on its face, a collar, and a tattoo with bones and flames.

This is the "Punk Princess Cat", who wears a checkered tie and black bow, along with a unique-to-Webkinz-cats tuft of hair on its head. It, too, has a tattoo.

Here is the "Rock N' Roar Lion". As you can see, its fur is speckled with glitter, and it has a Mohawk and bracelets, making it the first (and so far, only) Webkinz pet that can wear bracelets. It looks like the bracelet may be sewn directly onto the plush, along the seamline of its arm.

I think that's a new expression for Webkinz. They smile all the time, but I've never seen one smirk. Might just be the mouth placement.

And for those who would like something a little more on the quiet side, there's the "Peace, Love, and Moosic Cow", who sports an adorable pink flower on its head, along with a unique pattern on its ears, a shoulder, and across its back. This pattern appears to be different for each pet, as, if you look closely, its virtual image's ears do not match the plush. It also appears to be wearing purple eyeshadow.

From these pictures, we've learned nothing about how their "tattoos" look virtually. Rats.

The clothing the plush wears is uniquely attached to the virtual pet. With the current way the outfits work in Webkinz World, there would be no way to remove the clothes--the Cat's bow and the Cow's flower could be removed and treated like hats, but there's no spaces for the Bulldog's collar, Lion's bracelet, or Cat's tie to be placed. The four pets are unique in this aspect, but they are not the first pets to have clothing permanently attached--the Persian Cat and White Terrier were first. (both have pink bows on their heads. And yet they can still wear another pink bow from the KinzStyle Outlet! Double the power!)

My favorite out of these is the Peace, Love, and Moosic Cow. What's yours?

Ganz to Introduce "Webkinz Rockerz" in June 2012

Webkinz Newz has just announced a new series of Webkinz pets, though these are far from the usual array.

Coming to Webkinz World in June 2012 is the Webkinz Rockerz series. Shown in this picture, according to Webkinz Insider, is the Punk Princess Cat. You can find the rest of the four-pet ensemble here.
What makes these pets so special is that they come with, besides their PSI, PSF, and exclusive item all pets get, an exclusive Pet Specific Outfit, and two passes that can be exchanged for items of the Rockerz-only theme!
I'm kind of excited for this. This isn't the only time there have been pets offered with more than a PSI and PSF--there's Signatures, Webkinz Foundation, and Caring Valley pets. How cool! Will these be the only pets released in June 2012, or are there even more?
