Webkinz Fascination
Webkinz are stuffed animal toys that were first started on April 29, 2005, by a company called Ganz, these toys are like most small stuffed animal toys. However, each Webkinz toy has a unique private code written on an attached tag. This code allows you to log in to the ‘Webkinz World’ website. On this site, the private code allows the buyer to own a virtual version of the mascot (stuffed animal) for practical communication.
These plush toys are also available in a smaller size which are comparatively less in price and are known as lil kinz. Webkinz opened an e-store in June 2008, where website users can buy practical things like furniture and virtual versions of stuffed toys.
There are several types of Webkinz; few are like the usual pets, wild animals, mythological creatures and imaginary creatures. On the Webkinz stuffed animal list, you can see the full range of pets available.
Each Webkinz stuffed animal and accessory is attached with a code that is made up of eight characters. When the code is registered on the official Webkinz website, the buyer adopts the pet into the Webkinz virtual world. The buyer cannot log in to the website unless they have the private code. Retailers of these toys cannot sell them without the private code, and removing the tag by not purchasing the pet is considered theft.
If the buyer forgets the login ID and password, he can find out at any time through his private code. The forgotten ID or password cannot be recovered without the private code. Currently if the buyer is supposed to buy a stuffed animal from Webkinz every year and add it to their own user or else the account will automatically expire.
The world of Webkinz is an online gaming zone, which has its own economic market. Users of the Webkinz website earn money called kinzcash, if they adopt a new pet, through online games, by answering GK questions, and through everyday activities, for example selecting ‘I love my Webkinz’, turning the -‘ WOW wheel’, completing the mini-games or playing Wishing Well 2. These are only available once every eight hours.
Every day a “game of the day” is available, that user can play for bonuses: kinzcash, other types of extra money can be won every hour on weekends and only in the evening hours on weekdays . The buyer can benefit from extra money, rooms and other things that are included in his user account, for the purchase of each Webkinz toy.
They can use the money they earned in the so-called W-shop. From this store, users can buy food, clothing, things for their pets’ room or to make extra space in the pet’s house or outdoors. The user can furnish their pet’s house with pre-created themes or decorate and furnish with their own creative ideas. Users can also visit Dr. Quack to get their Webkinz checkup done.
