The Leprechaun Visits the Clubhouse Starting Today

For St. Patrick's Day on March 17, Ganz has launched the "Catch the Leprechaun" Clubhouse Event today.
This will be the second year that the event has been going on. It starts today, March 7, and will run daily for the next ten days until St. Patrick's Day. This event is open to everyone, everywhere. 

All accounts are immediately entered in this event, though you can completely ignore it if you'd rather.  
To participate, you just go to any Clubhouse room, and wait for the Leprechaun, who will look like this:

Once the little guy appears, click on him to get 1 of 6 Jelly Coins. If you're impatient, just buy 'em all for 1,000 eStore points (1 US$) apiece!
Upon collecting all 6 coins, which can be fed to your pet, by the way, you will be given an exclusive fridge for use in your WW home.

The Leprechaun will show up at different times, in different rooms. Since Ganz did away with the room numbering system, he shows up in every room of its kind in its zone--for instance, if you were in the Girls Rule Room in the Yellow Zone, then everyone else who went to that room would also see him, even if your room was full so they were sent to another one.

 In a cartoon-Irish accent, he will announce his arrival by shouting out a phrase. This is handy for when you're just doing something else. He does not speak when he leaves, however. He stays in a room for about 1 minute, and then leaves.
You can collect 1 coin from him every 3 hours.

Congrats, Random Bystander Terrier, you're in the news

Having trouble finding him? Wait around for a few minutes, he might show up again. And you could always visit the Leprechaun Tracking Thread at Webkinz Insider.

Wednesday Updates 29/2/12

In a minor note, the icon for the KinzChat phone is slightly edited. Now it turns completely grey when off, has a slightly more noticeable antenna, is slightly larger, and has a very small glow.

Check after the break for an in-depth report.

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?

Eluvant and Clover Cat PSI and PSF Revealed!

This pet comes with a True Luv Wishing Well and Luv Potion Pop.

It's cute, but the shy little smile combined with its football shaped head make it too cute...it looks somewhat like a baby. The heart shaped ears are kind of awkwardly attached, but the heart patterns aren't too bad. 8/10

The PSF, Luv Potion Pop, isn't too unique. I like how they made the straw shaped like a heart, and the purple flower is a very nice touch. 8/10

The PSI, a True Luv Wishing Well, is very nicely made! I particularly like the shingles, gradually progressing from fuchsia to a light pink, and the hearts on the roof are very cute! 9/10

Overall opinion: The plush is adorable but the sprite is a little too much. The PSF isn't anything too special, but it isn't bland either. The PSI is a very well made piece that will fit in wonderfully with any brightly colored spring garden. 9/10

This pet comes with a Playful Pot of Gold and Four Leaf Catnip.

And as always, the St. Patrick's Day Webkinz is a sweet critter that just about everyone can love. This kitty has a smooth coat dotted with a reasonable amount of clover, with the exception of its fluffy tail accented with green tinsel. The fur changing from one length to another in a fashion as sudden as this is something that has never been seen in a Webkinz cat before! The green inside the ears is the perfect touch, and the overall color scheme is very appealing. 10/10!

The PSF, Four Leaf Catnip, is pretty neat, there's not much to say about it...8/10

The PSI, Playful Pot of Gold, fits the pet perfectly! But what does it do? Ah, these new pets come with the most intriguing of PSIs! 9/10

Overall opinion: The plush is gorgeous, and the sprite matches to a T! The PSI and PSF are among the best of the month--this pet is sure to be very popular come January! 10/10~
