Webkinz New Plush Q&A

Welcome to the Q&A! Please note this is from a fan view some answers are from other resources while some are assumptions.

Why is Webkinz going to be available in stores only? I believe this is happening because When Gen 2 was tested in stores in 2021 the plush was already available on the estore and amazon store for a year making people not interested in shopping in stores. When items dont sell stores tend to not order more. So putting them in stores first and only is nostalgia first but also will keep them in a spot where old users and new users can go to and support a local buisness into purchasing more webkinz plush.

What countries will the new plush be available in? Just like the Gen 1 Plush, the Plush will be available in the United States and Canada! Unfortunately it is unclear of users in other countries at the moment.

Will there be a list of stores? Yes! The plush will be on the store locator (When a announcement is made) Click Here!

Hope this helps. Will Update this as more questions come in!

Plush Generation 3

As many of you noticed I brought up about new plush coming to Webkinz. For those who are hearing this the first time I wanna break down all the information in a simpler way to understand everything I know.

Gen 2 Plush Current State

The Gen 2 plush first launched in 2020 has not created a new plush since March 2024 which is really weird considering it has been a year and 2 months since the last plush was created. With 0 word from Webkinz or Ganz as to when the Next plush will be and based on the sales records for the current Gen 2 plush it’s safe to say it did not go well for the relaunch.

Toy Store’s Confirming

Recently 2 Toy stores and some comments of people claiming to work at stores say that the plush is coming but we will focus on the 2 official toy stores that will. First Toystore to confirm is Learning Express store. Specifically the one in Lake Zurich, Illinois. The owner has made a few posts confirming he has the paperwork and was planned to be part of a pre launch in May. However on a recent update the plush toy has been delayed till Fall.

The second toy store to confirm is Playthings etc. located in Butler, Pennsylvania however it was based on someone’s contact with the store as the store is not promoting the upcoming launch.

Ganz Displays

Recently a lot of user have found that Ganz has uploaded new Displays to their website for Webkinz. Take note that the QR codes are just filled QR’s and don’t lead to anything Webkinz related. But the displays have an availability date set for September 1, 2025.

While many people may speculate that this could be built for the Generation 2 plush. That is not possible. One reason being that the Generation 2 plush didn’t have displays just the boxes they came in and printable posters. As well a user pointed out that the shelves on the Floor Display have 2 different hights with the bottom 2 carrying larger plush while the top 2 appear to have room for smaller plush sizes.

What do the plush look like

This is the million dollar question. That many are asking. Myself at this time I cannot confirm what the new plush will look like. There is a user claim that there is 12 plush planned for launch with the plush looking like the classic Webkinz Plush but at this time. We don’t know.

When to expect the plush

While myself among many others don’t know when the next generation plush for sure know when the new plush will launch it is safe to say we could expect the plush somewhere around late September or early October as we enter the Christmas holiday shopping season.

Myself working in retail I feel this is a good approach for Ganz as many items do get purchased during Quarter 4 or also known as the Golden Quarter. But as for now it is the waiting game for any information or Statements Webkinz may release. Stay tuned as I will update when info comes available.

Did you know… The Flutter Pig was originally not gonna be a plush pet. However it was so popular during sneak peek that the release was delayed for a plush version to be released!

Webkinz Returning to Browser

I thought I should enter from what I read about this news on the upcoming Update.

Welcome to the long blog. This will be easier to post as Twitter is limited on what characters used. Please enjoy and note that I am not Ganz staff.

What Devices Will Webkinz Support

Webkinz will Support when it enters browsers for all areas the following. Windows Operating Devices Chrome OS Devices Andoid Devices Apple Devices Linux Devices Hey Possibly we could see Webkinz being able to be played on Apple and Meta VR browsers.

Beta Testing

There is more info to come out in the coming months. With Beta testing to come we could possibly see further news around May or June.

Bug Fixes & New Features

Webkinz noted there will be Bug Fixes and Fixing of old features that no longer Exist However I do believe this may be a future phase. This May be a update as big as X. This Includes the possible repair or return of: TV's Working in the houses Inviting and Visiting Friends Party Pack's Gardening - Watering & Weeding Magical Forest Loading Lag Log Out Carnival Returns

What we will not see:

Mazin Hamsters - Mazin Hamsters runs on such an old version of Unity it would need a whole new code from top to bottom to work again. Dicekinz - While it would be nice seing it return the game was to confusing for kids and remember this is just a kids game so it likely wont return unless the whole idea is more simpler and easier for kids to understand. Webkinz Mini Golf - The Game was retired to make way for Grand Grotto.

What is Next for the Desktop App

After reading the comments I found a comment Sally replied to explaining the Browser will run on a different code and once the browser version is out the desktop app wont recieve the same updates and features the browser will get. However it is most likely the desktop app will just emulate the browser.

Thank You

Thank you all for reading and I hope this helps explain things in how I saw it better.
