Webkinz~the new "Must Have" of the year.
Never heard of them? (Where have you been??!)
Webkinz are stuffed animals that were originally released by the Ganz company on April 29, 2005.
But they are not just another stuffed animal, oh no, these are very different.
They come with a special 8-character code on their labels that allows access to the "Webkinz World" which is a website to own a virtual version of the pet for virtual interaction.
By registering this code on the Webkinz website, you "adopt" this pet in the virtual Webkinz World, which is an online play area with its own economy.
You can then play games, puzzles etc to win money to spend in this "World."
There are also smaller, less expensive versions of the toys called Lil' Kinz
Extremely collectible, try here for rare Retired Webkinz.
Check out the Accessories to go along with your Webkinz animals, such as Clothes and Pet Carriers.
And for their owners there are Trading Cards, Necklaces and Charms.
For full information check out Wikipedia.
Or for the official website go to Webkinz.
