    I’ll never get over the fact one Halloween as a kid, my friend’s mom drove us to a “wealthy” neighbourhood and one house was handing out WEBKINZ as their Halloween treat!! I still have that Webkinz pug somewhere at my grandparents house....

    I remember when I was 9, I had cancer and when I was in the hospital, I had a few webkinz that stuck with me. I had a tiny green bird webkinz that I lost in the hospital for a few days when I returned home until they later found it. I also had a pink chihuahua I named “Chichi” and I remember when I first got it, I lost the secret code and I’ve never found it but I carried around the chihuahua everywhere with me. I’m cancer free and have been for years now but those were a few webkinz I’ve had back then.
    Update: Thank you all for the support! I literally was never expecting this many likes or comments from just a random comment I made on a memory I had and decided to comment about. I did not expect this to blow up like it. I promise I am doing good, I am moving on with my life but anyone who takes the time to read this, I want you to focus on taking care of yourself and living your life to the fullest. 😊

    I actually Beta tested the new Webkinz and it was called "Next" - not sure why the name didn't follow. The developers said they'd been working on it for three years - I guess when they realized Flash would not be supported by web browsers. Personally I think they released it way too early and I'm assuming they wanted to get in for both the ending of Flash and the beginning of Christmas. I also don't know why the Kinzville area was so unpopulated when you visited - it seems to be swarming with players now, but I totally get what you are saying. Over all the review was very accurate and pointed out a lot of flaws in both versions, and I appreciated it. I hope the developers will see this and tweak the Classic app a bit. Many of us are begging for it to go into the windowed mode so it doesn't occupy the whole screen. Webkinz Next needs a lot of work, but I know they are busy making it better.

    I had about 90 physical Webkinz that I collected as a child. I used to ask for them as a present every birthday and Christmas and saved up my money to go buy them at my local beanie bear store because they combined not only amazingly made plushies with sick designs but my love of animals together. I still own about 80 of them after trying to give some away to young family members and my online account has like 150 fully decorated rooms. I'm a children's show animator now but some of my earliest digital drawings were of the Webkinz I found pictures of online. I still check in to my online account every year or so. Just wanted to share in the nostalgia. Thanks for this blast from the past, I kind of feel like drawing some Webkinz now.

My brothers and I have played since day one starting with a chihuahua named rockstar. I’m the only one who really plays it anymore but we still have fun getting nostalgic about our account from time to time. I’m kinda sad Webkinz next ended up being so uncanny and kinda unfun.

I inherited my brother's account when he stopped playing as much so I just redeemed all my pets on his account and continued caring for his. I still have all my webkinz plushies (save for one lionfish that got maimed by my aunt's dog and then promptly replaced by my parents because I wouldn't stop crying, the skin of the original might still be around), and I am sitting in bed with my arctic fox webkinz who is still very dear to my heart.

    one of my friends plays webkinz religiously, like she collects the plushes and everything. she keeps sending me the worst screenshots of the new game to torture me since i'm a 3D modeler/animator/aspiring game designer. it's just.... so bad. weird shadows, no shadows, flat planes with textures slapped on that are VERY CLEARLY JUST FLAT PLANES WHY CAN I SEE WHERE THE SKYBOX STARTS THE FEW BUMP MAPS THAT ARE EVEN PRESENT LOOK AWFUL

    I always found it very weird that they stopped production on the plushes. The plushes were the entire reason I collected a bunch when I was a kid. Like the web game is fun but the plushes were great by themselves. I didn't even know there was a web game until I was old enough to read the tags. It feels so stupid to buy a digital stuffed animal for probably around the same price as a small plush.

What a strange decision.

    I remember like 10-ish years ago, I broke my arm and I needed surgery. A few hours before they took me to the surgery room, they showed me a big box full of webkinz plushies. Most of them were badgers and raccoons, but I wasn’t very interested in them, so I dug deeper into the box, and I found Froggy the tree frog. I absolutely loved him with that neon neon green all over him. I redeemed his tag in-game, and I begged my parents to buy 3 more plushies since.
