Baby Showcase #176

Happy Thursday!

 
 
We are one week into May and totally loving the spring weather. There’s been so many lovely Twenty Year Tigers around and it’s fun seeing all of the combinations. We’ve got some cute pets this week, so let’s get started!
 
 


First up is this perfect spring Holland Lop! This violet and verdigris body color is so bold and it looks so pretty with that floral back pattern and those big bold hearts. It’s got some cute striping on the face along with a little splash of purple on the chest. There’s some blue inner ears peeking there, and those crimson eyes look great with the peachy pink tulip pet patch!
 
 
Next up is this lovely swirly mint cow! I love all those swirls, especially with the strawberry pet patch. This baby has a cute little storm cloud on its chest and looks great with the Pinkalicious Pig silver sparkle eyes!
 
 

I love the lime green of this Legendary Dragon, and those fiery wings go perfectly with those eyes! This cutie has the Twenty Year Tiger’s W patch on the face and the cute little 20 on the chest. The tiger striping on the back is super cute, especially with that little bit of lava on the tail!
 
 

Next up is this lovely purple Legendary Dragon. It has some of the Moon Bear’s wonderful spots, and the Holland Lop’s signature back patch! I definitely need those green horns! And who can resist the big beautiful blue eyes??
 
 


This Cotton Candy Raccoon is the perfect rain shower! I love the leopard frog back pattern with the frog’s dew drop chest pattern — even the dots on dots face pattern feels extra splishy splashy, especially with the blue and yellow cotton candy ears. Adorable pet!
 
 


Look at this bold blue Twenty Year Tiger! That bold color is even bolder with the Gorilla’s back patch and cute little leaf pet patch. A super cute pet!
 
 


Last but not least, we’ve got this work of art pink Orange Tabby Cat! Those power pink eyes are intense, but we’ve got some beautiful blue shiny paws and a fun red tulip pet patch to tie it all together.
 
 

That’s it for this week! I’m busy growing up my Twenty Year Tiger baby — I’m hoping to get a winged one! What kind of baby are you hoping to spark? Let us know in the comments below!

Webkinz History: Designing the Webkinz Signature Line

An interview with Webkinz plush designer!

As we celebrate 20 years of Webkinz, we couldn’t resist revisiting one of the most beloved collections in Webkinz history—the iconic Signature line.

 
 
Dorothy Lou sat down with Erica, the all-star plush designer and head of Plush Product Development at Ganz, for a behind-the-scenes look at the artistry and care that went into bringing these premium pets to life.

 
 
Erica has been the creative force behind every Webkinz plush we’ve come to know and love, and it was a true pleasure catching up with her to reflect on her incredible work.
 
 

DL: What was the idea behind the Signature line?
 
 
E: When we started the Webkinz Signature line we wanted to offer fans an elevated collection piece that still gave them all the in game play that they already loved.
 
 
DL: How did you achieve the elevated look?
 
 
E: The fabrics we selected were atypical of what was happening in the plush industry at the time but spoke to the traditional plush toys of the 1990s where fabrics were knitted vinyls.
 
The cuts of the fabric were unique to each pad, with pile lengths that went from smooth to an uneven cut in order to replicate the realism of an animal’s true coat. We then added sparkling crystal eyes, which are much more lifelike, and details such as airbrush.
 
 
DL: Airbrushing sounds so special and challenging!
 
 
E: Yes, airbrushing itself is a specialized art. Color gradations and subtle details can be achieved through airbrushing and spraying right onto the plush. But, the artist can’t mess up if the airbrushing goes wrong, the plush is ruined. This means that each piece had to be really slowly and very carefully crafted
 
 
DL: Of course we all know a signature when we see one, but you added details just to iconify the collection–
 
 
E: We topped the items off by changing the thread of the magic W to a golden thread, and added gold foil embossing to the hang tag, completing the overall look.
 
 
DL: An overall look that is still beloved.
 
 
E: These items were, and still are, high end collector’s pieces with an attention to detail that we are really proud of.

Season 33 Guide – Week 2

20 Years of Fun is our 33rd Season! Here are some more details, tips and tricks for the week 2 tasks. Click here for the daily and week 1 tasks.

 

Week 2

 

  • Sell 10 crops to Farmer Will at the Farmer’s Market
  • Participate in a Fantastic Flower game
  • Invite a friend over three different days
  • Buy something at the Wish Boutique
  • Get a score of 2500+ in Hoppy Little Rocketship or earn 150 KinzCash
  • Earn 50 Arcade Tickets at the Arcade
  • Decorate your house with something from the Year 20 Banquet theme
  • Get an A in any hard class at the Kinzville Academy
  • Visit the Baby Showcase on 3 different days
  • Beat level 2 on Triple Strike Solitaire 5 times

 
 

Sell 10 crops to Farmer Will at the Farmer’s Market

Look for the Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 6am to 11pm KinzTime. Tap on Farmer Will to see what he’s buying that day. Sell any combination of crops to total 10 to satisfy this task.

 
 

Participate in a Fantastic Flower game

Check the schedule and participate in at least one game to satisfy this task. You don’t have to place in the top 3 — just play a single game.

 
 

Invite a friend over three different days

Send an invite to a friend by tapping on the Friend Center and selecting someone from your Friend’s list and tap Invite. They don’t have to accept the invite for it to count. Do this on three different days to complete this task.

 
 

Buy something from the Wish Boutique/h3>
Head to the Curio Shop and tap on the Wish Boutique. Look for something fun! Any item purchased will satisfy this task.

 
 

Get a score of 2500+ in Hoppy Little Rocketship or earn 150 KinzCash

Head to the Arcade, tap on an Arcade unit and select Hoppy Little Rocketship from the list. If you’re handy with this game, you can complete this in one game. Otherwise, play as many times as you need to in order to earn 150 KinzCash.

 
 

Earn 50 Arcade Tickets at the Arcade

While you’re playing Hoppy Little Rocketship, earn Arcade tickets! You must have fewer than 9,999 Arcade tickets to earn more, so make sure you have room. You can spend your Arcade tickets at the Arcade shop in the Arcade — perhaps on play tokens, so you can keep playing your favorite games!

 
 

Decorate your house with something from the Year 20 Banquet theme

If you’ve already got your house decorated with these items, you may have to return one to your dock and then place it again. If it’s being stubborn, return it to your dock, log out and back in, and then try playing it again. The theme will be available until the end of the month.

 
 

Get an A in any hard class at the Kinzville Academy

Head to the Kinzville Academy and tap on the doors to take some classes! You’ll need to do really well on a Hard class to complete this task. My favorite is probably the Strength class! I can get As in just about all of the classes, but Speed and Art are the hardest for me.

 
 

Visit the Baby Showcase on 3 different days

Head to the Adoption Center and tap on the Baby Showcase to check out the most recently sparked babies. Do this on three different days to complete this task.

 
 

Beat level 2 on Triple Strike Solitaire 5 times

Head to the Arcade, tap on any Arcade unit, and select Triple Strike Solitaire from the list. Clear two boards on five different games to complete this task.
