Each day during the countdown to Webkinz Day, we will introduce you to four of the finalists in our search for the ‘Greatest Webkinz’.
It was a monumental task – trying to narrow down the list to just 32 pets. There was plenty of debate and discussion before we could decide on our finalists. We’re willing to bet that there will be plenty of discussion among our members about the pets we ended up with as well!
So without further ado, meet the first four pets on our list!
Chihuahua
Get ready for the classic Chihuahua! A champion of cuteness, this treasured pup is owned by many and loved by all.
Snowy Owl
The only bird to make our list of candidates had to be magnificent, and the Snowy Owl definitely fits the bill. You’d be wise to bet on this striking pet, with its cool white feathers and piercing eyes.
Winged Tiger
One of the most popular virtual pets ever, the Winged Tiger is quite the majestic sight as it glides through the air! A fantastical personality and electric blue coat give this pet an airborne advantage over its competition.
Whimsy Dragon
The fact that this was our very first Dragon makes it extra special. When this pretty pink pet landed in Webkinz World, it marked a magical beginning for some of our favorite pets to come.
i love the snowy owl its so cute
i have three of the four pictured here no chihuahua but i’m partial to owls
I absolutely love the Winged Tiger. I was soo happy when I finally got to adopt my own. Her name is Celestine and she’s one of my favorite Webkinz ever. Thank you, Ganz, for creating such a beautiful pet. <3
I hope Ganz makes a plush of it :)
Gooooo Whimsey Dragon!!! <3
i have the Chihuahua.
me too… That was my first pet
All wonderful pets! My first pet was the Bengal Tiger. I’m a big fan of all the tigers, so I must say the winged tiger is awesome. The Snow Owl is a nice pet too. Good job on all the finalists. Good Luck on the #1 Winner.
snowy owl in this group
i like the dragon.
Hooray for the Whimsy Dragon! I’m so happy it made it to the top (or at least the top four!) I dunno about you guys, but I’m totally staying on Team Whimsy. Stayin’ loyal to my favorites, y’know? I think the Whimsy Dragon has just the right mixture of fantasy and lovableness to make it fit right in with the Webkinz family. I think it’s a great representative for what Webkinz is: imaginative, fun, friendly, and of course, cuddly!
I think the Cheeky Cat or Cheeky Dog or Golden Retriever would be nice ones since they are original Webkinz. In my opinion, to represent Webkinz, it should have been around the whole time.
Agreed Fracktail! and not neccisarilly at least to me CheekyCat, Although those pets have been around for a long time I think the 1# webkinz should be something like the Whimsy Dragon, It’s not plain or ordinary like some old pets, but It’s not too crazy like some too new pets either :) and It also has been around for quite a while since obviousely it was the first dragon webkinz created so it’s old enough to represent webkinz and It’s history :D If ur on board with team Whimsy Dragon then hashtag #WhimsyDragon is 1#
I’m honestly surprised that the Cocker Spaniel wasn’t on the list; I mean, it was the face of Webkinz for a long time. On tags, in the original demo video, you name it. Ah, well, it had a good run. Speaking of the original demo video, is it possible that you (as in GANZ) could upload the old “Take a Tour” video somewhere, like as a Throwback Thursday thing or something? I miss that.
Yeah the Cocker Spaniel was actually the first pet I got :D
I like the dragon I have her her name is EARTH WIND & FIRE.
nice ;)
