I have some good news to share… We’ll be releasing a new room theme in the W-Shop and it’s up to you to decide which one! Similar to what we have done in the past, you’ll have 3 options to choose from. Mike, one of our talented artists here at Webkinz headquarters, has created a concept drawing to represent each theme. You’ll need to use these concepts to decide which one to vote for on March 11th. The theme that receives the most votes will be released in the W-Shop, for KinzCash, on May 8th.
You had the opportunity to vote for the Painted Glass room theme in the past, but this time around, you’ll also have the Playful Ponies & Cotton Candy Kitchen room themes to choose from. Here’s a look at the concept drawings with a short description of each theme:
Make sure you look over each concept drawing carefully, because once the winning theme has been decided, the concept drawing will be used as inspiration for the rest of the items that will be included in the theme.
You’ll also want to check Webkinz Newz often once the results are announced. We will be releasing concept drawings of each item as they are being created. You’ll also have the opportunity to comment on each one and offer your ideas and feedback before the final items are created.
Want to see more of Mike’s work? Mandy and I interviewed him on Podkinz Episode 101 when we released the Garden Oasis room theme in June. We also interviewed Mike on Podkinz Episode 110 when we released the Christmas Cabin room theme.
Do you know which theme you’ll be voting for on March 11th? Let us know by leaving a comment in the section below…
I believe that I’ll be voting for the Cotton candy Kitchen
All three are nice but I think I like the Painted Glass the best, what a cool theme that would be!
My favorite theme is the Painted Glass theme. I’m not really a fan of ponies or desserts, but I’m sure I would come to like those themes if they do win.
I don’t really like room themes that are limited, like to only kitchen furniture or only bedroom furniture. I hope one day there’s another new Webkinz theme with tons of items that is available to all members.
I’m Sorry, but I don’t like any of these.
And could we please have a generous amount of time to collect pieces of the one you’ll probably retire to make room for the new ones?
Yes! Please let us know early what theme is retiring. That would be awesome.
What dixiecup and animalmomkls said.
Most of the themes have been in the wshop for 5 to 10 years, we must all have what we need by now ;) You can always stock up on a favorite item in case they do retire something.
I’ve only been back playing for the last two years after a long break. And, with all the events, collections, holiday rooms and then just RL, I actually haven’t made rooms yet with all the themes available in the Wshop. I’m kind of slow at decorating : )
I have children who play Webkinz and believe me, they spend what they (and I) earn on anything they like. Unfortunately, this leaves little for seizing a retiring favorite. Not everyone has access to a 14 year stash of Kinzcash or knows how to manage their Kinz wealth as well as you do. I would just as soon have foreknowledge of an impending retirement.
I know that when my kids played..they never got upset if something retired..they just went with the flow. It was mom ;) who was more upset cause of coarse back then I was a hoarder…lol…but you have time so go make those whshop rooms..and have fun fun fun :)
Yeah, movin’ off the hill, you can have it.
I’d like to vote for Painted Glass, but I may change my mind after I see the comments and which 2 themes seem most popular. I know the pony theme will be one of them.
The Playful Ponies immediately caught my eye! We have quite a few candy-themed room designs to choose from already. This would be the first time we have a pet-themed design to use! The modern glass theme is a bit too stark for me. I will vote for the ponies! What fun!
Playful Ponies is soooo cute!
The painted glass theme would go so perfectly with the pet specific items for the birthstone pets and other birthstone-themed items like the windows, gem tiles, and wardrobes. The Cotton Candy Kitchen would be limited to only kitchen furniture, and Playful Ponies would be limited to only bedroom furniture. The Painted Glass theme may also have more pieces, since it is not limited in that way.
I loved the Painted Glass theme last time, and I’ll be kind of sad if it doesn’t win this time around. Thank you for bringing it back this second year. There’s just something so beautiful about it.
Oh, good points! It would go really well with that sort of stuff! =) And the other two themes would likely be more limited, like you said. I hope the Painted Glass theme wins as well!
