"What's a Webkinz?"

I hear this quite a bit. It's OK to not know what it is. Ganz didn't advertise because they have the power of word-of-mouth and kids describe it to their friends better than a lame commecial Ganz would have done themselves.

So instead of annoying the people who already are fammiliar with the craze, listen up!

Just to sum it up, Webkinz are basicly plush toys that you buy (or you can buy the smaller versions for a cheaper price) and you enter their code online. You can also buy accessories like clothes (for plushes), charms, trading cards and more where you can enter their feature code and get a virtual prize.

And here's Ganz's summary:

What is Webkinz?Webkinz pets are lovable plush pets that each come with a unique Secret Code. With it, you enter Webkinz World where you care for your virtual pet, answer trivia, earn KinzCash, and play the best kids games on the net!

But if you have heard that a zillion times and want to know more, here's some more information.

Wow - amazing topic, SIC!!!!!

PS. Sorry if this is bumped, but everyone should read this!

excellent topic for those who dont know what webkinz is. this is how i first knew about webkinz: My sister got a webkinz in a store in early 2006. i asked my sister if i could see her stuffed animal. i looked at it and noticed a tag that said webkinz. i asked my sister "whats a webkinz?" she said its a stuffed animal that comes with a secret code that brings your webkinz to life. you adopt your webkinz by nameing it and chooseing the gender. after the adoption, you can buy food, clothes, and stuff for your webkinz home. she also tolled me to take a tour of webkinz world. after the tour, i thought the site was pretty cool. so i got my first webkinz in april 2006. it was the gold and white cat and i named it queenie (i spelled the name wrong). she doesnt have a magic "W". and now today, i have over 140 webkinz ^_^ OMG! i have so many! but i knew someone on youtube that had 189 webkinz.

Ooh, old topic. But still a great one. This should be pinned so we won't get anymore "what's a webkinz" questions.

LOL. Yeah. <_<

yea. so cool, amazing!

I "reported the topic" saying it should be pinned. Hopefully whatever guide gets the message will agree with me.

Yeah. 'Cause it gets kinda annoying looking for this topic and saying to check it out over...and over...and over.

If this gets pinned your getting a cookie!

Yay! It got pinned!

Everyone, have a cookie! And now we may relax...

Ahh, aren't I wonderful for getting this pinned. XD Jk, but I'm very happy it's pinned.

Hi Squiddie. This is a great topic. Thanks for helping people in need.

Hey, I just realized, we haven't gotten a topic saying "What's a Webkinz?" in a looooong time.

Yay me! *runs around in circles and crashes into wall*
