Thank you to a couple of our eagle-eyed members, July and Kiyoshi, we can bring you a report on a new feature at the Ganz eStore. Players can design human t-shirts that Ganz will print up and mail to their houses.  How cool is that!  According to the item description, the shirt also comes with a feature code that will award the player a Clothing Gift Box and a virtual Custom Framed T-Shirt.  The price of the shirt will vary depending on the design choices made.  They seem to range from $15 to $25 + $8.00 shipping.

 

 

    

When dressing up her pet for a potential t-shirt design, Kiyoshi discovered a number of clothing items that haven't been released for players in Webkinz World.  Some of them have been seen in Stadium Beauty shows, but others are brand new:  Fortune Teller's Hat, Frilly Purple Dog Thing, Frou Frou Coat, Girly Black Tank Top, Head Full of Curlers, Old Lady Cape, Plumpy's Blue Hair, Purple Empire Tank, Skull Cap, and Webkinz Glitter Tee (which looks nearly identical to the Webkinz Sparkle Tee from the Kinzstyle Shop).

 

UPDATE:  It appears this feature wasn't yet ready for Webkinz players to use.  It has been removed from the Ganz eStore.  

 

UPDATE (8:02pm ET):  The designer is back up!  Check it out HERE.

Thank you to everyone who entered Webkinz Insider's Twitter Avatar Contest this past week.  It was so much fun to see the creative designs many of you came up with!  Two-hundred-ten winners have already been randomly selected to receive Winterfest prizes, and now the time has come to announce the final two winners.

 

Congratulations to WI members RiddleMeThis and Symphonie.  Each of these members is going to receive one Antique Western Brass Vase, also known as the Kinz Corral Spittoon.

 

Over this past week, many of you have relied on Webkinz Insider's "tweets" @WIdotcom to keep up with the latest breaking Webkinz newz, including the sales of the Clown Costume, Superhero Costume, and Fairy Princess Costume parts in PJ's KinzStyle Outlet.  For more information on WI's Twitter account, please click HERE.

 

With this morning's update to Webkinz World, Ganz added a new pet to the Webkinz catalog -- the Carousel Horse! The Webkinz Carousel Horse will be an eStore-only pet and should be available by the end of this month or in early March.

The PSI is the Ferris Wheel Lamp, which lights up and spins, and the PSF is Candied Carousel Corn Dogs. It's been some time since Ganz added a horse to Webkinz World, so we're sure this will make a bunch of fans very happy!
