What are Webkinz?

Tags: Webkinz, games, online, web, kinz, dolls, toys, kids

What are Webkinz you ask? Only the biggest craze in schools since Beanie Babies, Tickle Me Elmo, and Cabbage Patch Kids. And...

Webkinz are stuffed animals that were originally released by the Ganz gift company in 2005.

The toys are similar to many other small plush toys, however they come with a special code on their labels that allows access to the "Webkinz World" which is a site website to "adopt" a virtual version of the pet for virtual interaction.

There is are also smaller versions of the toys called "Lil' Kinz".

The toys have been marketed in similar fashion to Ty Beanie Babies with some being retired after some time, which encourages high secondary selling prices.

Webkinz have been extremely popular,with Ganz claiming more than 2 million units sold to retailers and 1 million registered users of the Webkinz website.

At the height of the toys' popularity, shortages of supply at some stores have been reported.

NPD Group reports that the product brought in more than $1 million (USD) in United States retail sales in 2006.
