Pet of the Month

The June Pet of the Month is the Webkinz Pig and it's video is called "Piggy Plum Pie." During the video, a dog (named Lester) is shown, that Webkinz World members have never seen before.

 

Just like previous videos, the eStore will sell items that are featured in the video. The items are: Pig Paradise Lake, Piggy Plum Pie, Piggy Plum Tree and the Farm Time Kitchen Clock. To hear the lyrics of the video and see these items, click HERE

 

 

It's the first of the month in Webkinz World, and a new month means new activities and prizes:

 

 

Last month we were able to bring you pictures of a number of the Webkinz plushies scheduled for release in May 2010.  Today, thank you to our friends at Ameriwade.com, we can bring you the rest of the plushie pictures, and tell you about a few more items.

Pictured above are the Webkinz Spotted Seal, Webkinz Blueberry Cheeky Dog, Webkinz Pom Pom Kitty, Webkinz Stegosaurus, Webkinz Signature Cow, Webkinz Signature Endangered Cape Mountain Zebra, and Webkinz Signature Small Black Bear. 

 

 

      

 

The next featured Caring Valley Pet is going to be the Webkinz Frog.  Remember, it's the extra Green Tag on the Frog that gets players access to the Caring Valley feature, not the adoption tag.  The Pet of the Month for June is going to be the Webkinz (large) Pig.  Pet of the Month pets must be adopted in their special month to qualify for extra prizes.

The March Pet of the Month Video has arrived in Webkinz World.  It's a Cat's Pajama Party!  Check out this cute new video starring many of the Webkinz World cats.  You can see it on your Webkinz World account or on the Webkinz Newz by clicking the ad shown in the picture below.  In addition to featuring many of the Webkinz cats, the video also features the not-yet-released Ganz eStore items featured in a previous WI front page article located HERE.  These include the Pretty Party Vanity and Stool and the Pink Popcorn Machine that makes a Bowl of Popcorn.  Look for these items at the Ganz eStore soon.

 

Update March 10, 2010: The new POTM items are available in the Ganz eStore. 

 

We have been getting a number of questions in the forum from our members who are wondering if the Pet of the Month Exclusive Item Glitch has been fixed yet.  Unfortunately, based on reports from our members, it appears that there is still a problem.  We have many members who have all of the POTM items except the new Carnival Carousel, but instead of getting the Carousel as their prize, they're getting another one of the items that they already have.  This glitch hasn't affected every POTM adoption, but it seems to have affected enough that we have taken note of it and are attempting to track it.

 

As most of you know, when a POTM is adopted during its special month, one of the prizes awarded on that account is a special POTM exclusive that can't be obtained anywhere else.  The programming is supposed to be set up so that players won't receive a duplicate POTM item of one they have on their accounts at the time of the adoption (until they collect them all, of course). 

 

UPDATE (Tuesday, March 2nd):  The Creative Director for Ganz' Interactive Division (Webkinz) has contacted Webkinz Insider to address this issue.  Here is the official statement from the Creative Director, verbatim:
