Hello Webkinz Newz readers, Ella McWoof here with a special report! Earlier this month you voted for the Webkinz Sweet 16 theme to be the next theme released in the W-Shop. Our artists here at Webkinz headquarters have been hard at work and I am pleased to show you the first set of concept drawings! The 3D artists will use these drawings as a guide when actually creating the final items that will be available in the W-Shop on July 10th.
Here’s a first look at a couch that will be part of this theme. If you have a name suggestion for any of these items, please feel free to leave them in the comments section below this article:
What a beautiful bed! I love the color choices and the workstation is a great touch:
Looks like this desk chair will tuck in nicely beneath that bed:
You may remember this next one. It was one of the 5 concept drawings players could vote for:
Here’s a matching chair to go with the cheeseburger beanbag chair. They both look very cozy:
This is one of the most colorful laundry hampers I have ever seen:
This window looks like it will brighten up any room:
Finally, this couch looks like the perfect place to read your favorite book:
I for one can’t wait to pick up this theme in the W-Shop on July 10th! In the meantime, please feel free to leave your feedback and name suggestions in the comments section below and stay tuned for the second set of concept drawings coming soon!
This has been Ella McWoof reporting for Webkinz Newz…
It’s a little bit odd and I think a little too young looking for a sweet 16 room, but it is a very cute theme overall! :) I just don’t think it matches the description as well as I thought it would but I love it anyways!
YES! It is a little too young looking. I mean, it’s cute, but Sweet 16? Hmm, not sure…
I think it looks great for a teen room. I mean, I’d want that theme for my room, haha. To tell the truth, I think that’s the main reason why I like it so much; it isn’t riddled with “diva” and “drama queen” stereotypes and instead embodies the quirky, everyday teenager who just wants to get through life and be themselves. :P
I like the bed, hamper & window. It does look like a middle schooler’s room or a young teen room. But where are the electronics? No TV, computer, music, or phone? I guess those would make it a Modern Sweet 16 room, and maybe this is more of a Fantasy Teen room? Or perhaps there will be more of the theme to come?
Yeah, like I said it’s very cute! And no Fracktail I don’t think and hints of “diva” or “drama queen” would need to be included in the theme. I really think it needs a side table with a phone charging dock, some sort of clothing packed wardrobe, and some sort of light fixture (possibly a star projector or kooky lamp). It also needs some sort of band posters or anything iconic for a 16 year old to hang on the wall. Just my thoughts though :)
Well, the “Funky Girl” and “Pop Star” rooms have band posters, so I think making another one would be kind of redundant. The reason I like the way this theme is because we already have a lot of the teen stereotypes covered in the themes I mentioned, so the fact that this is going in a different direction is refreshing to me. But to each their own!
Well those posters haven’t really covered every genre of music. I guess I didn’t clarify that. They could always add new ones that way we can pick and choose. The theme really does need some wall decor though and some light fixtures. Maybe some sweet treat themed items as well.
I do agree, Fracktail, but the point is I just think the theme was in need of some renovation from the start. The Taxi Cab Couch does make more sense now, because maybe teens want to drive, but can’t yet, and they have to take a Taxi…..okay that isn’t right. I still don’t know. Anyway, I like how there is diversity in the theme, but I would like a little “crazy teenager” who just wants to be his/herself, not so much “messy teenager who doesn’t care and just wants to lounge out”. And luckily the work station DOESN’T take this theme in the latters’ direction, so I’m pleased with a few things here. I am interested in it a little, but it is not what I was hoping for all the way.
I just figured the taxi was part of the crazy aspect, like you said, where it’s just kind of there because the guy/gal just felt like putting a taxi in their room. Never thought of the driving thing, haha. I do agree that the theme should be more like a goofy teenager, but I figured it was like that from the start where it’s like a conglomerate of “lazy teenager” based off the messy hamper and the cheeseburger and a “quirky teenager” based off the pastel clothes in the hamper and the “why is there a taxi in your room” thing. But maybe I’m just projecting my own personality onto what I’m seeing here, I don’t know. :P
Ganz, these will all be KINZCASH AND NOT ESTORE POINTS, right? …Right?
Yep, all W-shop Kinzcash. Although, there will probably be a few deluxe only items.. sadly….. =[ I will be super sad if the bed is deluxe.
Its better than I thought it would be! The weakest link is the burger chair and I don”t understand the taxi-teen connection, but I love the hamper, reading couch and window!
It IS a little better than I thought it would be, too. But I agree. Some of these items don’t fit. I don’t know where a taxi came in all of this! I mean, wouldn’t a teenager have grown out of toy cars?
TAXI I know seam srange but I think it’s about kids not being able to drive . Lerner permits only at age 16 or 17 in some states . Some states limit passengers to only an adult some say only 1 friend may be in the car with driver and adult. It’s the only thing I can think of.
Probably ’cause that when you’re 16 you’ll get your drivers license. But what does that have to do with a taxi? Hmmm………….
Agree completely with this comment! Not sure about the bunk bed & hope it will look better than concept, but I LOVE the reading couch cuz it reminds me of Drake and Josh’s room from the Drake and Josh show which was awesome–show and room…now just memories, so thanks for that!
The taxi is the wild card! But think about it, teens love to decorate their rooms with random stuff like traffic signal lights & Stop signs, so why not a Taxi couch?
I don’t get the taxi either. Maybe it was aimed more towards the guys? Idk.
I don’t like this theme.
how could you not like it!! It’s totally different from anything we have ever had! I can’t wait!! Might be my favorite room yet! How about a huge watch clock to hang on the wall!! SWEEEEEET
I don’t mean to be rude here but Marshy can have an opinion. I do love this theme, but if somebody disagrees I think we should respect that.
I agree here, though the bed with the computer (?) looks nice.
Me too. I’ll be skipping buying this one.
I’m sorry, I’m not intrigued. Maybe it’s because I always like to make nice rooms that this sort of unorganized and typical teenager room doesn’t appeal to me. As for suggestions, I DO like some of the color, and I think you went in the right direction with the bed. However, Ganz, some of the things look out of place. I think it should look a little more practical and maybe a little less just thrown together. Maybe a bit more modern? Like a teenager with homework and computer stations isn’t bad, but it’s the dirty socks and food all over the place that gets me. Still can’t believe this one won. Anyway, I think Bacon Burger Beanbag, Cheeseburger Beanbag, Sunny Day Window, Cozy Corner Couch, Bright and Colorful Laundry Hamper, Good Night’s Rest Bed, Working Hard Desk Chair, and Taxi Cab Couch are decent names for this room theme. Anyway, it’s definitely an interesting theme.
I agree Marshy2u, I would rather have seen the lemon drop theme win XP
This theme is so great! I’m so glad it won! That is the coolest bed ever!
Ikr? I don’t know how so many people could have been against this theme! It is sooo cool. The bed is AWESOME. The couch is pretty cool too, and I also like the hamper.
How about the Burger Beanbag? And for the couch how about the Bookworm Daybed? Even though it’s not a bed, some couches could be classified as daybeds. Even though this isn’t really a daybed, either… I think I’m rambling now. ;)
I like the names malasky :) I’m thinking for the Taxi couch it could be: “Catch some Zs couch”(From Catch a Cab), “Flashing/Blinking lights couch”, “Taxi Relaxi”(lol, it just sounds catchy), “Yellow, Checkered, and bright sofa”, “On a roll couch”, “where to? couch”, “Resting Wheels couch”, “Checkered lines couch” and “Flashy city, couch” :) and for the Bunkbed: “Techy lulliby Bunbed”, “Busy sleeper bunkbed”, “nerdy and fun BunkBed”, “keep calm, and play webkinz BunkBed”(there is a computer in it so who knows maybe the teen plays webkinz on it?), “All-nighter BunkBed”, “simple =equals= dazzling bunkbed”, and “Webkinz finatic Bunkbed” :) and as for the desk chair all the same names as above except with “desk chair” or “chair” at the end instead of Bunkbed :) and for the Cheeseburger beanbags: “sizzling deliciousness beanbag”, “cozy treat beanbag”, “good for the taste buds, good for the soul beanbag chair”, “Burger Heaven beanbag”, “Burger city beanbag”, “Burger delight beanbag”, “from patty to bun, goodness inbetween beanbag”, “Melting cheese, delicacy”(this would be for the one with cheese obviously), and “soft and juicy burger beanbag” :) i’ll post the other names later gtg for dinner now :D
I hope this isn’t for e store points
*webkinzforever* I have names! 1. Catch-a-cab Couch 2. Teen dream loft 3. Like, totes teen swivel chair ( totes = totally ) ( in teen language ) 4 and 5 cheeseburger bean bag/ burger bean bag 6. Lazy laundry hamper 7. Serene Teen Scene window 8. Teens only! book nook. AGAIN THIS IS THE CoOoOoOoOLEST THING EVAHHHHHHHHHH! ( or this is like, ya’ know, kool. ) ( in teen languages)
AWESOME, absolutely AWESOME
ok……….It is probably for deluxe anyway!!!!!
AGREED!!! I hope the hamper can store clothes, to imitate “dirty” clothes. I would suggest a fridge, as our webkinz would love a snack after a long day at school! The taxi cab couch is cool, but why have 2 couches? Also, can we use the computer under the bunk bed, or at least does it make a sound?
totally! I’m impressed with these concept drawings, ESPECIALLY that couch and bunk bed(although it may look a bit younger than I thought it would . . . but just the fact that GANZ actually made a bunk bed for a theme that is NOT E-STORE has gotten me PRETTY excited) so the couch and bunkbed are my all -time favorite of this theme :) but I do like that Taxi couch, I really don’t see the connection between teens and taxis,(by 16 u can get ur license anyway) but it’s still a cool item that really makes this theme unique :) the desk chair and window, SPOT ON GANZ! and those burgers, just looking at them makes my mouth water! so yeah, kinda like the taxi they don’t exactly GO WITH the theme, but ones again, for some reason they’re just meant to be :) Wouldn’t mind having one of those in my room anyway . . ok who am I kidding? That would defiently clash with my violet walls but it’s still awesome :) The hamper is nice, not sure how I exactly feel about the BRIGHT neon green color but after all it’s a hamper, how amazing can u make it anyway? Great job on everything overall though :) VERY cool :D
Hi playnowpuppy, IKR? The taxi couch is confusing a lot of people, but I think I get it. The sort of thing you might expect to see in a college dorm room. So that might be the “older teen” item of the set. I can’t wait to see the rest of the theme drawings!
Sweet Taxi Couch, workstation loft bed, workstation chair, cheeseburger and baconburger beanbag chair, messy laundry hamper, sweet 16 window, book nook couch.
I thought it was going to be made of all food item… this is why i voted for it … i didn’t think you could master a room of food…. like a bed of candy bars, cookies and what teens like….. i do like the bed you made, but a teen would not…. they would of pick a matt on the floor cover with book and cloths…. also dishes and glasses, cups and CD’s their way of living…. I like the bean chair and i had in my mine a bed or sofa made out of a hot dog bun… with deco of every thing on it… to match the burger … and a lamp made like a soda can or bottle….. A Cd rack and books & Mag. and the corner of the room like a mess…. Computer and earjack on the deck… and a cell phone…. TV, with a webkinz seating on top…. and some on the other things to…. a bookcase with food on it and books also….. a boombox shape like a taco with it dressings on top…. Chip and cheesey…. yes this is a teens dream……
I hope the reading nook sofa and the bed aren’t deluxe, and maybe both burger chairs. Anyone going on a picnic on July 10 because it’s national Teddy Bear Picnic day? :D Pittiesrule
Well, I am now! Thanks for telling us!
I like the bed and the chair that goes with it, I also like the laundry hamper too. For the floor design they need to throw some clothes and shoes on it (lol) then it would look a lot like my teen’s room.
