Thank you to our friends at Ameriwade (www.ameriwade.com) for alerting us to the fact that Ganz has officially retired the Webkinz Black Panther. This plushie can still be ordered by retailers, so you should be able to pick them up for some time, but once they are gone, that is it.

Our Partner Store, Ameriwade, still has some Black Panthers listed for sale on their website. Click HERE to visit Ameriwade's Black Panther sale page.

Have you been looking for a Lil Kinz Unicorn to add to your Webkinz family? You may be in luck. Ganz has announced that as part of their "value priced" line of Webkinz they will be releasing a set of "Faves". This set, expected at Webkinz retailers in August 2009, contains the Lil Kinz Unicorn.

As most of you know, the Lil Kinz Unicorn was officially retired by Ganz back in December 2007, over 18 months ago. Although it is still marked as "retired" on the Webkinz World site, we are hearing from Retailers that is is no longer marked as retired on the Retailer site.

What does this mean for the status of the Lil Kinz Unicorn? At this point, we are not certain. In an interview Webkinz Insider had with the Webkinz Creative Director back in November 2007, the Creative Director said "retired is retired". We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
