Ganz Officially Retires Webkinz Manatee

 

Thank you to our friends at Ameriwade (www.ameriwade.com) for alerting us to the fact that Ganz has officially retired the Webkinz Manatee.  At the moment, this plushie can still be ordered by retailers, so you should be able to pick them up for a little while, but once they are gone, that will be it.

 

 

Speaking of retired Webkinz, many of you have been asking about the status of the Lil Kinz Unicorn.  The Lil Kinz Unicorn was officially retired by Ganz in December 2007.  In July we brought you the news that Ganz was releasing the Lil Kinz Unicorn as part of a "Faves" assortment of Lil Kinz and that they had removed the Lil Kinz Unicorn from the Retailer Retirement Report.  As of today, the "Faves" assortment is no longer available to retailers, but retailers can still order the Lil Kinz Unicorn.  Also, the Lil Kinz Unicorn is still missing from the Retailer Retirement Report (shown below).
