Wow that was a fun podcast, it’s always great to meet the design team!! Thanks for the codes, you can never have enough bake sale items! Never! I really wish they would make all 10 of these designs (and the awesome wheelchair) into real webkinz items, they are all fantastic. I would have to put the tub and the fantasy column into my top 5!
All of these designs are so creative! It’s really hard to pick my favorite because I like all of these wshop themes so much. The unicorn column is fitting because the prize is the sparkling pegasus! Good luck to all of the amazingly talented finalists!
true! I didn’t think of that when I first saw it but that is a good connection
oh and that is my favorite item too :) :)
Wait when are the winners announced? I think the original article said May 14, but Michael said in the Podkinz that they would be announced on Sunday. Does that mean they will be announced tomorrow or next week? Just curious. Thanks! :D
Mothers Day =D
Hey, Sally Webkinz? I was wondering, because I love the designs! Thanks!
I meant I was wondering if these were the finalists, heheh…
My laptop won’t let it play. :(
Maybe it will let u play it on YouTube. This video should be on YouTube on their channel. Hope this helps!
Love the Jungle Tub!!!! Its absolutely adorable and a must have in my webkinz house! Love the other concept art stuff to the columns and the fireplace are beautiful!
Amazing choices! Kudos to those who submitted their creations!
What creative designs! Congrats to all the finalists! I especially love the columns for the Fantasy theme – it’s cool how the design to shows the unicorn heads when they’re rotated to change to look.
The columns are amazing..we need more of those for sure :)
the webkinz codes doesen’t serve to me
Oooh! I love all of the items. But If I had to narrow it down, I’d pick the new train or the fantasy column! I love the unicorns! hehe
