Webkinz Polar Bear - Another Great Webkinz

(Review From Amazon)

General Comments:
If someone in your circle of family or friends is hooked by the Webkinz craze, then add another nice creature to your list of internet-linked plush toys. I think the overall quality and price structure of the Webkinz creatures is a good deal ... better than I remember for the Beanie Babies rush, plus you get some internet-associated interactions.

Webkinz stuffed is great-the website is horrible

(Review From Amazon)

General Comments:
The learning process and everything that is involved with the webkinz plush is great. The problem is their website-we have a bran new top of the line computer less than 3 months old. It doesn't matter- they still have a lot of technical issues with the website. The website is not working approximately 25% of the time.
When you compromise with your children (ex) clean up your room and you can have 1/2 hour online with webkinz- the child goes on the website and doesn't work. After this happens about 3-4 times the child becomes uninterested.
You just spent 12.95 and have an expensive not worth 12.95 plush.
When the website does work, it is a great tool for parents.

Overall, a hit!

We got my son a couple Webkinz, frog and polar bear, for his 8th birthday last week.
After a couple of days we noticed the seam on the frog has come apart about one inch. My son has barely handled the frog, and never has he thrown it nor played with it roughly.
Initially, we had technical problems with the website. When we tried to enter "My Room," the screen read "loading" but nothing happened no matter how long we sat there and waited. We have a three-year-old Dell computer with Java Script. And, I had read reviews on other websites where people have experienced the same difficulty.
We had tried to call the technical assitance phone number. The first time it just rang numerous times until it turned into a busy signal. The following tries led to several rings, followed by lots of button pressing, only to hear an automated voice instructing one to send a detailed message through the website. When we tried that option, you are given a warning that any information supplied (e.g. your email address) becomes the property of Webkinz to use it in any manner in which they desire.
Within the last few days, we have used the website about four times and have encountered no difficulties. My sons, ages 4, 8 and 9, can play the games independently, and find it a lot of fun.
I'll be sewing up the seam on the frog and I bought my other children their own Webkinz for Valentine's Day. Keep in mind that the Webkinz website is available for one year, and then a fee is charged to continue membership.

As other reviews indicate, the stuffing in many of these pets is lacking, but the kids don't seem to mind. When the website is functioning smoothly, we are very pleased with the purchase.

The service I got from Amazon was amazing whatever I ordered came within days no waiting. Products were just as nice as if I bought them at a store and the shipping and handling were great also..Thanks for letting me be an at home shopper......Barbara Penna.
