Answer 2

Webkinz are plush pets kids have in real life. When you bring your Webkinz home you can enter the code found on your wWebkinz and enter it at the adoption center.

Webkinz appeal to children ages as low as 4 to as high as 16!

Answer 3

Well, webkinz are plush pets that you can fill a code on the computer.

Answer 4

what was the deal with ferbie?  what was the deal with tickle me elmo?  what's the deal with rockband?  what's the deal with guitar hero?  what was the deal with the neopets?

i am sure webkinz falls into the same deal as those things. they appeal to someone and it's a lot of someones's.

Answer 5

It's a plush toy that the kids have in real life.  But there is also a code associated with it to register on the Webkins website.  The kids can then buy (with real money via your credit card) virtual items for their virtual toy online.

So, it is merely a vehicle to get you to pay for "vaporware" - the idea that you are getting something, when in reality you are paying more money for some pixels on the computer screen.

My daughter's webkins sits on a shelf - waiting for the next garage sale.
