"What's a Webkinz?" - My 2007 Summary

08/31/2017 - Okay, so I used to be a HUGE advocate for Webkinz, lol. I would always be telling non-players about the game. Here's a summary I wrote for TamaTalk (Tamagotchi fansite) in 2007!

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.

Check out this section of my unfinished guide to get a little more info:
