Thank you so much for all your great comments and feedback on the Medallion Pet finalists. After much discussion, and taking your feedback into account, the Creative Team has selected as our new Medallion Pet an animal that is completely new to Webkinz World.
We are excited to announce that the new Medallion Pet to be released in April will be…
Kiwi Bird by lolypop1412
Congratulations lolypop1412! We can’t wait to see the Webkinz artists’ take on this adorable pet!
But this cute flightless bird still needs a PSI and PSF! What do you think would make a good item and food for the Kiwi? Let us know in the comments.
Lolypop1412 and all of the finalists – look for a message at the email address associated with your GanzWorld account by end of day, Monday, January 14, 2019.
Please note: due to technical issues we are experiencing, part of the prize has been updated from 10 Any Pet Medallions to 10 random Pet Medallions.

I’m disappointed my Toasted Coconut Pup didn’t win, but I’m sure the Kiwi will be great!
It is really cute! Great job, and I hope we get the opportunity to see it again in the future!
Please submit your pet design again. I thought this was adorable too.
I really hoped the aurora tiger, shooting star dragon, or air fawn would win…I already had names picked out for them. Congrats to the winner anyway!
Congratulations Lolypop1412 for your winning design! I can hardly wait for more details how we can win this unique bird. I hope we have an event similar to the Snowy Retriever so that everyone has a good chance to earn one. Well, the PSF should definitely include Kiwifruit and maybe the PSI could reflect its nocturnal habits and I agree with the past comment that Moari artwork should be visible in the design. So exciting!
YAY!!! I’m glad this one won! :) I suggest the PSF be something with kiwi fruit in it. Maybe the PSI could be rain-forest themed.
Wow! How adorable is that?
I knew the Kiwi was going to win because of how unique it is. I’m sad it wasn’t my mole, but at least it was the pet that I had actually liked. I love New Zealand and the people there are called kiwis. So I think that the PSF should be Pavlova because it has kiwis in it and is a common dessert in New Zealand. For the PSI on the other hand, I think it should have a burrow/den for it as a bed.
I loved your mole idea and I really hope that we will see it made in the future!
LOVE your PSF idea, allig8girl! The Pavlova would be PERFECT! Great suggestion! :-)
~allig8rgirl, I love your username, AND your adorable mole! I don’t know how the team ever chose, because all of the finalists were amazing. Every one should be a pet in WW, and I would be really happy! WW NEEDS a mole, and hopefully one day we will see your little cutie again!
I really want a hole in the ground bed, where our pet disappears, except for the “zzz’s”, while it is sleeping, and reappears when it wakes up. That would be sooooo cool! I know that the designers will make it eventually, because it is too awesome of an idea to pass up! And it would be a perfect PSI for a mole!
Congrats to the winner! This bird is a real cutie and would look adorable in game!!
I did not think the Kiwi Bird would win, but it is a very unique pet and it deserved to win. It is one of the birds Webkinz hasn’t made yet, and it goes nicely with the rest of them. They made an oriole, cardinal, robin, blue jay, chickadee, budgie, canary, and probably a few more so far and the kiwi is a nice addition, even if it is virtual only. It would be wonderful if one day Webkinz could have a design a pet contest that the winning pet actually gets turned into a plush Webkinz.
Awww!
i really hoped the tapir would win
but thanks for the great stuff!i think a kiwi cave would be cute, a little den for the bird, also I think that maybe the food could have soething to do with tthe kiwi fruit?
I love that you thought outside the box/template! I would love to see a tapir in WW, and hopefully the team will find a way to work in your design in the future.
