Welcome to the World of Webkinz

We provide a centralized location that delivers the latest news, information, and resources necessary to compare prices, find the best deals for and buy Webkinz for sale online. Why purchase Webkinz on the internet? Simple, “brick and mortar” retail stores are unable to supply the demand of those hungry collectors, leading to pets being sold out within hours of their arrival. Additionally, Ganz, the maker of these wonderful plush toys, routinely retires pets leading to further demand, price hikes, and low supply. Therefore, the easiest place to find Webkinz pets is online. At the World of Webkinz (WoW), we provide a comparison shopping themed marketplace where one can easily search for and buy Webkinz pets at the lowest prices available. Visit the WoW Marketplace to start the hunt. Good Luck!

Signature Endangered Species Contest

Posted on 08 Apr 2010 at 02:20 pm | Tagged as: Contest

Who do you think will join the Bengal Tiger, Asian Elephant, Cape Mountain Zebra, and the rumored Clouded Leopard in Webkinz’s new Signature Endangered Species collection? Introducing the Webkinz Endangered Species contest, a two-day contest with laden with prizes and perhaps a little dash of fame?


Webkinz Endangered Species Contest

As first described at webkinznewz.com, Webkinz World players that reside in the US or Canada are encouraged to submit their Top-10 favorite endangered animals. Once the online form becomes available, players should enter each of the 10 animals in the text boxes provided for a chance to win the prize, an “Animal Rescue Prize Pack”, which includes an “Animal Rescue Jacket” and “Animal Rescue Jeep”, only available at the Ganz eStore. Also, one could only speculate that these lists will be used to design and introduce new Webkinz to the collection. Winners – plural :) – will be randomly selected from the entry pool. The contest opens at 12:00am EST on April 10, 2010 and closes at 11:59pm on April 11th, giving a full two-days to come up with and submit your top 10 favorite endangered species.

Webkinz Signature Endangered Species Collection

In late January, Ganz announced a new line of signature pets drawing from the success of the original “Signature Series” line, which features larger,well-constructed, exquisitely detailed, new Webkinz pets that are perfect for fans and collectors alike. This new “Signature Endangered Species Collection” features similar styled plush pets and special virtual items attainable upon online adoption. When adopted, you are given a special piece of furniture specific to a Signature Endangered room theme in Webkinz World, a “Sanctuary Gift Pack” that includes exclusive flooring and wall paper, and a wish token. For the two currently available Signature Endangered Pets, online sales have remained between $20.00 and $30.00 shipped. No doubt the prices will escalate from there once production ceases.


Current Collection Members

  1. The first pet to be released was the Endangered Bengal Tiger in March 2010.
  2. The second in the collection is the Endangered Asian Elephant, released April 2010.
  3. The third, yet to be released pet is the Endangered Cape Mountain Zebra, release scheduled for May 2010.
  4. The fourth, rumored pet is the Endangered Clouded Leopard, rumored for a June 2010 release.

Webkinz Setting Sights on the New Generation of Internet Users

Webkinz Jr: Targeting the Preliteracy Market. Good Move by Ganz?
  • Add an Answer

An article by Shaun Conlin, entitled “Webkinz seeks younger pals for plush virtual pets“, describes one of the newest ventures by Ganz to extend its popular Webkinz product to those who have yet to get that reading thing down. Webkinz Jr. features the same concept as its more established older sibling, specifically the combination of plush, adorable, tangible play things with a strong virtual component. As alluded to above, Webkinz Jr. differs in its literacy prerequisite. While still providing a wonderfully detailed world of learning, fantasy, and creativity, the world of Webkinz Jr. is filled with bigger icons, a less complex GUI (Graphic User Interface), and text prompts that have been replaced by cheery voice prompts.

Whether we like it or not, this increasingly fast-paced, internet-driven world — generally more easily navigable by today’s youth — will soon and perhaps already plays a major role in shaping our children’s social and intelletual potential. Debatable, perhaps, is at what age do we expose our youth to online world?

Plumpy’s Christmas Advice and Other News

Posted on 15 Dec 2007 at 04:24 pm | Tagged as: News | Webkinz World

WW News Advice Column, written by Plumpy the Webkinz Hippo, has provided some interesting answers to Christmas related questions.

Q: If a Christmas tree is bought now, can it be kept all year or does it disappear after Christmas?
A: If you buy a Christmas tree or any other Christmas-related items at the Kinz Shop, they are your forever and do not disappear after the Christmas holiday.

Q: How long will the snow stay in my yard? Can I still garden?
A: The snow will remain on the ground until the arrival of Spring in WW. That means the snow will be around for a month or two until the weather (in real life that is) gets warmer. The good news is that you can still garden — don’t worry, the plants are genetically engineered to withstand the extremely cold temperatures :)

Q: How do I get a present from SantaKinz?
A: To get a present from SantaKinz, just logon to WW anytime on Christmas Day!

Interested in cooking up these new recipes? Visit the W Shop, break out the blender and stove, and start cooking!

Also, have you ever wanted to pretend your Webkinz pet is Leif Erikson? If so, do I have news for you! The Curio Shop has just announced the availability of a brand new Viking Helmet.
