Thank you to iamragdolly,
a member of our forum, for sharing this picture of her daughter's Lil
Kinz Cocker Spaniel adoption. The bio states that his best friend is a
Magical Retriever.
What we're hearing from retailers is that the Magical Retriever is an
on-line only pet (no plushie) that will be available as some sort of
prize from the Series Three Trading Cards. With the release of the
Series Three Trading Cards just around the corner, hopefully we will be
able to report on a new adoption soon.
Thank you to woonkle,
a member of our forum, for letting us know that several new items were
added to the KinzStyle Shop today: Polo Dress, Pop Rock Princess Hat,
Pop Rock Princess Shirt, Pop Rock Princess Skirt, Red Dotty Party
Dress, Sailor Tunic, and Snowboarding Jacket. All of these items are
exclusive to the KinzStyle Shop.
Those of you who have been
sending your Webkinz to Cooking Classes at the KinzVille Academy should
be pleased to hear that Cooking Competitions have arrived at the
Webkinz Stadium. Remember, it's the skills you develop at the Academy
that affect how you score in Competition. So, head on over to the Academy and get to work on earning the "pins" (previously known as badges) on your report card.
We haven't had any reports of
members being able to get into the Clubhouse today, but this next news
story gives us hope. According to the Newspaper for Thursday, KinzChat
PLUS has returned. It will be exciting to see what changes have been
made once the doors finally open. Remember, you have to have an adult's
permission to use this feature. You can visit the Webkinz Parent's Area to learn more. http://www.webkinz.com/us_en/parents_area.html
Thank you to all of our members with Asian accounts for letting us know about these updates.
All of the rumors surrounding
the release of the Webkinz Grey Wolf can finally be put to rest. Today
the Grey Wolf appeared for sale in the Webkinz eStore. This "online
only" Webkinz can be purchased with a credit card for $12.50 US Dollars
at www.webkinzestore.com. After you make your payment online, an adoption code is sent to your email address. You enter this code in the Adoption Center the same way you would any other adoption code.
UPDATE: The Grey Wolf has been removed from the Webkinz eStore. We don't yet know if this is temporary or permanent.
Thank you to twinmom1998 for
sharing this picture of "Faelan" in the Grey Wolf's special item, the
Red-Hooded Riding Car. The Grey Wolf's special food is Braised Venison
Cacciatore.
The Webkinz World catalog has
been updated with all of the Webkinz scheduled for release in August
2008 including pictures of their special items and the names of their
special foods. We can now report that these Webkinz will come with the
following items:
* Lil Kinz Blue Jay - True Blue Birdbath, Bright Blue Seed Drop Stew
* American Albino - Garden Stripes Table, Sugar Cube Satay
* Caramel Lion - Paws & Claws Armoire, Caramelized Eland Flan
* Silverback Gorilla - Mysterious Pool, Silver Shoots & Roots Pizza
* Skunk - Black & White Fridge, Toadstool Fritter
* Cocoa Dinosaur - Prehistoric Stove, Sweet Cocoa Con Carne
* Deer - Great Outdoors Window, Buck Potluck
Also, a new clothing item has been added to the wShop: the Mod Jacket
Now we know what the "Something
Fishy" teaser ads were hinting at. According to the front page of the
Newspaper, underwater rooms are coming to Webkinz World. It appears
that these special rooms may only be available on accounts that have
adopted either the new Manatee or the new Fantail Goldfish. As soon as
an adoption of one of these new Webkinz is reported, we'll be certain
to bring you all of the details.
Three more Webkinz have been officially retired by Ganz: the Beagle,
the Collie, and the American Albino. It is worth noting that the
American Albino isn't scheduled for release until next month. Also, the Rhino, which was retired in May, is now officially listed as "Sold Out".
In addition to the Bunny Hoody Set we have already told you about, there are four more Plushie Clothing items scheduled for release: Army Shirt, Army Pants, Varsity Jacket, and Sleeveless Hoody Set. They are all scheduled for release in late August 2008.
Also, just a reminder, the Webkinz Trading Card Series Three Packs should be released to retailers soon!
