As many of you are aware, GANZ has not announced any new Webkinz plush pets in the past few months. The last new plush was the beautifully crafted Narwhal. We can now officially state that there will be no new Webkinz plush in 2019 and that the Narwhal will be the final plush toy of the “first generation” of Webkinz plush.
Our reasons for making this decision are three-fold:
- Some new webkinz plush from my friend.
- Nov 12, 2020 As many of you are aware, GANZ has not announced any new Webkinz plush pets in the past few months. The last new plush was the beautifully crafted Narwhal. We can now officially state that there will be no new Webkinz plush in 2019 and that the Narwhal will be the final plush toy of the “first generation” of Webkinz plush.
You can carry your Webkins animals in this plush pet carrier. This pet carrier includes a special code that will open an exclusive online gift for your Webkinz pet. You must have an active Webkinz.

- For any toy to be produced at an appropriate price, a minimum number need to be produced. Our retail orders for our new styles, even great ones like the Narwhal, had fallen below this minimum.
- Our attempts to move plush sales online through the eStore and Amazon did not meet our goals.
- After 14 years and over 500 unique pets, this generation of the toy line had run its course.
The reality is that at times every toy brand needs to take a break, evolve and reinvent. Many of the biggest toy brands in the world – My Little Pony, Transformers, Strawberry Shortcake – have had times where there were no toys on retail shelves.
Will this impact Webkinz.com? Not at all. One of the big developments in the past few years is the acceptance of online purchasing. When we launched Ganz eStore in 2008, many players didn’t understand the idea of buying “purely” virtual pets. Now we’re all used to buying virtual items and we’re happy to say eStore use has been going up! Many of our new eStore virtual pets have been well received and are among our best looking pets ever! As we’ve said elsewhere, GANZ is committed to Webkinz.com and with our desktop version coming soon, the future of the game is strong.
List Of Webkinz
Will Webkinz plush be back? Definitely. GANZ was born as a plush toy company and lovable plush will always be near to our hearts. We have had many discussions about future products and how best to bring those products to market. We can’t say anything more about this at this time, but we do hope to have some more announcements later in the year.
In the meantime, you can still find Webkinz plush at Ganz eStore, and through other online retailers. All available plush are “while quantities last,” so if there is a specific pet you’d like, you will want to order it soon.
We’ve all had great experiences with our Webkinz plush and have those favorites that we feel closest to. While we may be taking a break from making new styles, our incredible range of amazing plush toys will forever be a core part of Webkinz World.

Webkinz Plush List
If you love Webkinz, they are worth more than just the dollar value, but if you want to know what the dollar value is, here are some tips to help you figure that out.
Remember that the value can change at any time, though.
Step 1) assess your Webkinz.
Is it in new condition? No marks or damage? Are the tags sealed? Are the codes unused? Does it come from a smoke-free home (so there are no smoke odors on it)? Is it currently retired?
These things can all affect the value. For example, Cheeky dog goes for the most of any Webkinz currently and the prices have gone up a lot recently.
Step 2) Research what people are paying now.
Don't rely on old info about what someone got for their Webkinz 6 months ago or what someone says they think your Webkinz is worth. It is better to get some facts than opinions.
Check out the open auctions on ebay, but also check the completed listings to see what your Webkinz has actually sold for recently.
To do that you click on Advanced Search and then check completed listings only and also click on all items including store items and click submit. The auctions that show the price in GREEN actually sold for that amount. The auctions that show the price in RED asked for that amount, but didn't sell.
You can click on one of the completed auctions to compare the Webkinz that sold to yours or find out if it had unused codes.
On ebay you will get a range of prices that will give you an idea of the value.
You might also want to check the prices on Amazon.com to get some information, too.
