Webkinz are still the hottest toy of the year and that can leave many wondering; will this toy ever come down off the mountain? We folks the good news is I don’t see it coming down anytime soon as webkinz continue to reign supreme they look as though they will stay the course at least until the next big thing comes along.
What are Webkinz?
Released in 2005 by the Ganz corportation, Webkinz pets are stuffed animals similar to the popular Ty Beanie Babies of the late 90’s; where they differ is in their interactivity. Unlike other plush toys, Webkinz are built for the internet age, incorporating an online element (Webkinz World) that allows owners to “adopt” a virtual version of their specific pet that they can then play and interact with online.
