Hoo-hoo Kinzville! It’s me, your mayor—Dr. Quincy Quack! I’m here again to tell you all about what’s new in Webkinz World today! Let get started, shall we?
- We’ve made it easier to find things in your Dock by adding sub-tabs to some sections! If you keep lots of items in your Dock, you’ll now be able to find specific pieces of clothing and decorations much faster! Look for more sub-tabs coming to other sections of the Dock in the near future!
- The 2017 Fall Clothing Line has arrived in the KinzStyle Outlet! Visit PJ Collie or the mobile WShop to find the latest fall fashion trends for your pets! To make room for the new stock, PJ has also retired Spring Clothing Line
- While you’re visiting the KinzStyle Outlet, you’ll also be able to pick up some Halloween costumes! While there are some returning favorites like the Knight’s costume, the Pink Cowgirl outfit and the Firefighter equipment, there are also some new additions!

You might also find some new prizes from the new Pumpkin King and Pumpkin Queen costume sets!
- While you’re shopping for Halloween costumes, don’t forget to visit the WShop to collect pieces from our NEW Haunted Castle theme! This fan-voted winner is a haunted version of our rare Medieval theme, adding a terrific terrifying touch to your Halloween room decorating! It’s only available during the month of October, so gather up your KinzCash and start collecting soon!
- If you missed last year’s Halloween theme and you have the Webkinz mobile app, you’re in luck! The Freaky Forest theme is returning exclusively to the mobile WShop for the month of October! You’ll love collecting this fantastic freaky Halloween theme!

Well now, this sure was fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements!
Take care, Kinzville!
WONDERFUL update!!! =D I”m excited to get on Webkinz today!
OK HERE’S MY TAKE ON THE UPDATE: thanks Ganz, i now need a secretary to keep my calendar straight & not miss anything! ;) -k.
Love this update! So much going on and so many great events, activities, and prizes to look forward to. First: A big congratulations to JRZ2000 for having your clever fireplace featured in the W-Shop! It’s a really neat piece! Second: To Mayor Quack—The month of October is going to be a fantastic one in WW—but the main thing I got from this update is that Ganz listens……. So Mayor Quack, when you are talking to all the people at Ganz, can you please thank them for the sub tabs on the docks, and for the Halloween Sofa Challenge Prize—I have a feeling a lot fans are going to be very happy. And finally: That fireman’s costume is beyond adorable!
Wow, there is a lot of changes. I love it all!!
May not type much because I’m too busy doing a HAPPY DANCE over the addition of sub-tabs to our docks – SUCH a needed feature!! LOVE the new costumes. Looking forward to all the wonderful events and prizes. That Modern Fireplace is a must-have. Happy to see Halloween-themed Wheels. THANK YOU for all of it!! :-))
Wow, what an amazing update!! =D I absolutely love every Halloween clothing piece and prize! I may have to go Deluxe just for this month for that tower, because holy crap that thing is just so cool. XD I’m excited to use that fireplace divider as well! It’s also really cool that you guys also made that Happy Halloween Sofa! AND THANK YOU FOR FINALLY FIXING THE CLOTHING DOCK! I have been waiting for that update for so long. XD Overall, an amazing update! I’m hyped to get started on everything this Halloween!
hi there, just curiosity, what has been wrong with clothing dock, as I THINK mine has been working fine–thanks! :) -k.
The clothing part of the dock was just in alphabetical order and there was no organization of the different types of clothing like there is on the mobile app. Now the different types of clothing are available through some tabs, which makes it a lot easier to find what you’re looking for!
Wow!! Amazing!!!
Oh my goodness! What great buttons on the clothing and decorations in our dock! It’s perfect!!! :o Love all the new Halloween items, they’re all so awesome! The ghost window is so fun! The challenge prizes, Haunted Castle, new Fireplace Room Divider, everything. Thanks so much for all these fantastic items! :)
Y’all been very hard at work on all this and we players really appreciate it! This is one of the best updates. The dock system is going to help in the Clubhouse Trading Room tremendously! I don’t ever trade because I can’t find stuff quickly enough and pro traders are like putting stuff up there so fast and I’m like um wait, uh hold on and looking, etc. LOL NOW with this dock update I think I might be able to handle the trading room peeps!
Kinda unrelated, but is anyone else experiencing issues with the Webkinz newz forums? I’ve tried both things that were suggested: checking to make sure that I’m using https instead of http (I am doing that), and I don’t have any bookmarks, so I am not using those (it was recommended that those should be updated), however, this one issue still keeps occurring. Whenever I post something, I’m taken to the first page of the forum I’m on and it’ll say “error: are you sure you wanted to do that?”, and it’s been happening since yesterday afternoon :/ I’ll try to see if I can look up any fixes… but I just want to bring attention to it
Try clearing your cache
Thanks!! I’ll try clearing my cache, and hopefully it’ll work afterwards!
Alrighty, I think I cleared my cache…. I usually use my iPhone 6s to comment on here (not sure if that’s part of the problem)… so I looked up how to clear the cache on it, and I thinly that’s what I did, unless I looked up the wrong thing. I tried replying to one of the forums shortly afterwards, but it still didn’t work.. however, I’ll try again a little later, maybe it needs some time?
Thanks, it looks like there might be a bigger issue. We’re going to look into it.
I’ve been having the same problem, TaffyKitty!! I’m not using any bookmarks, and I’m pretty sure I’m using https (I don’t exactly know what that is, but it says https at the top of my screen), but the same issue you’re experiencing is still happening to me whenever I try to post something. :/ I know Sally said that they’re looking into it, but I just wanted to let you know that you’re not the only one having it happen!! I really hope they fix it soon so I can comment on there again!
You’re welcome, and thank you so much for looking into it!! I hope the Ganz team is able to find a fix, and thanks again for all of your help; you guys are the best!! :)
Hey, ilovemoonie! Ah, really? Well, I’m glad at least I’m not the only one… at first I was afraid it was my phone (which I almost always use for WKN), but after trying my iPod, it was still doing it, so I started freaking out and wondering if I had to make a new account or something, eheh. It’s so weird, though…. I haven’t been able to reply to anything since about 11 am yesterday :/ I’ve done everything suggested, and it still hasn’t worked… I’m glad that Ganz is looking into, though!! I really hope they can fix it soon so we continue our conversations on there!
Ah, the same thing happened to me! I was trying to reply to some stuff and one reply a typed up didn’t even show up for moderation. =[
You, too, emi? Gosh, I guess this thing must be widespread! I do feel better, though, knowing that I’m not the only one… I was really panicking yesterday (when the issue started) since I thought it was an issue with my account, eheh. I hope Ganz is able to fix it soon, so everything can get back to normal! (Ah, really? That must have been frustrating >.< I typed up several replies yesterday, but the same thing happened; none of them showed up for moderation… which stinks cause one of them was a reply to a roleplay, and I don't even remember what I had my characters do :P )
Yeah! I was going to finally reply to Steve’s bio and moonie’s bio of Bucky, but uh, apparently not.. =P I hope this is fixed soon, especially since I’m already really late to reply to those. XP But yeah, it’s not just you! (Ah, gosh, that’s annoying!)
Ah, that must be really annoying :/ Don’t stress yourself too much about it, though, in case you’re not able to reply back… I totally get it! But yeah, I really hope they’re fixed soon… in the meantime, I guess I’ll just type up my replies to any conversations that I need to get to in my notes app, so I can copy and paste them when they work again :P (Yep! I guess I’ll have to go retype up my reply to that… ah well… not much I can do bout that…)
Cool! I pretty much like everything that’s in this update… I’m thrilled that ganz has decided to add sub-tabs to the dock, and all of the Halloween festivities look awesome!! :D
Also, I absolutely love that new banana split costume, I am going to buy a lot of those, hahah XD
Yeah, I just spent 3,000 Kinzcash on the new clothes.. XD
3,000? Oh, that’s really good compared to the 6,000 I spent XD
I literally bought one of everything… :P
Oh wow, you guys spent a lot!! XD I spent probably around… uh… maybe 2,000? I wasn’t able to buy too much on one of my accounts (cause I’m kinda broke on that one), and I tried to contain myself on the other one and not buy too much stuff at once, but knowing me, I’ll probably go on a huge shopping spree in a couple days XD So much for saving my kinzcash
Wow, yeah, moonie, I was trying to save my kinzcash so I didn’t spend quite that much. XD Ah, yeah, it’ll probably happen, Taffy.. happens to the best of us.. XD
Hey, Taffy and emi! Yeah, I did spend quite a bit XD I just couldn’t help myself…luckily, I had just sold a lot of random WShop items that were in my dock the other day, so I had over 50,000 kinzcash. And haha, it’s okay, TaffyKitty! I do the same thing, too. (At least I don’t spend real money as fast as I spend kinzcash…oh wait, maybe I do. :P)
Emi, haha, yeah, it probably will XD It’s gonna happen to me sooner or later… it’s hard to resist the urge to spend a bunch of your kinzcash on cool items, heheh. ilovemoonie, it’s okay! I’m sure it happens to us all XD Oh really? That’s cool! I have about 58,000 on one of my accounts (which is the most I’ve had in a very long time… usually, I’m just lucky if I have 15,000, heh) and about 10,000 on the other… cause I kinda sorta spent a bunch of kinzcash on that account to get a rare item earlier this week, eheh :P (it’s fine.. because I know for a fact that I go through real moment pretty quickly… I’ll save it up for maybe a week or two, and then I find some Webkinz or Disney item that I need to buy XD )
