| | Webkinz are stuffed animals that were originally released by the Ganz gift company in 2005. |
| | The toys are similar to many other small plush toys, however they come with a special code on their labels that allows access to the "Webkinz World" which is a site website to "adopt" a virtual version of the pet for virtual interaction. |
| | There is are also smaller versions of the toys called "Lil' Kinz". |
| | The toys have been marketed in similar fashion to Ty Beanie Babies with some being retired after some time, which encourages high secondary selling prices. |
| | Webkinz have been extremely popular,with Ganz claiming more than 2 million units sold to retailers and 1 million registered users of the Webkinz website. |
| | At the height of the toys' popularity, shortages of supply at some stores have been reported. |
