WEBKINZ - Reindeer Reviews

• Make sure your child is ready for a Webkinz!

  
  By A38NCLXTER251C on 2007-12-06
  Make sure your child is ready for a Webkinz before buying this or any other one! My son wasn't ready when he got one last year - he was completely overwhelmed by the website and very disappointed. So we put it away until now, when he's more mature and has seen others play online. But little did I know that use of the website expires after a year! They send you a notice - but only on the site - so if you're not on the site, you don't know. There's a one month grace period, and then that's it - you can no longer use that Webkinz pet online. Now it is simply a so-so stuffed animal Their answer? Buy another one!

  I got this webkin becasue my friend told me about the new ones, and I saw the reindeerhad just come out. This one is my favorite, and it is soooooo soft! The only thing is, the price deflated a lot since when we bought it. But, now, people know that they are out and they are buying them. I would reccomend this toy to everyone.
  
  

• Awesome and as CUTE Online as In Hand

  
  By ANLGL7MA8K91L on 2007-11-11
  These are one of the newest of the Webkinz line and the deer is as much fun to play with online as it is in your hand. Excellent addition to a great line. Soon to be a favorite of many -- great value for two toys in one (online and durable plush)

• Buy the toy rethink the webkinz site

  
  By ASFYT0ZIXI4FV on 2007-12-30
  Update 2-15-08
  Webkinz seems to be really trying to do a better job. The site seems to be doing better. I have notice that they are down for repairs from time to time and I got a call from them.
  
  Original Post:
  
  
  The toy is nice, and well made.
  
  But Webkinz site. After all that is why we bought the toy to begin with.
  
  But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll take a few steps back.
  
  You should have seen it. There was a daughter at the kitchen table with her new Webkinz toy. She had it all set up.
  
  The laptop and Webkinz site logged on, her new Webkinz animal facing the monitor. Every thing was laid out perfectly and ready for some fun and a adventure. Anyone could see her joy.
  
  Things where going very well, and we where happy to see her really enjoy herself and gain some understanding on the computer to boot.
  
  But soon problems began. Earned items began to vanish. webkinz dollars began to go missing. Log offs and drops became more and more common. Games would lock up or parts of the game would freeze. Bad site?
  
  
  So as other have stated, that picture of our happy little girl, as you can see, began to shrink and get smaller and smaller. Those sounds of joy changed. and that picture began to be replaced by a look and feeling of frustrating.
  
  She began to feel, as most would feel, frustrating.
  
  To say the least, we were very disappointing by technical problems that seem to only increase as the site becomes more popular.
  
  And customer Service is "REALLY" none existent other then a drop down list of questions and answers. And it is limiting in it's uselessness.
  
  We have even found that the email system seems to be designed to be a number of loops to keep customers from contacting them.
  
  The point goes on and on.
  
  But with out getting to long here, the site has a feeling of bug ridden and has many problems. And Ganz, the parent company of Webkinz, doesn't seem to care.
  
  We have contacted them 4 times by phone and twice by email. No replay as of this review.
  
  All in all I would say the toys are well made but the site has problems. Maybe it is a great way to teach kids how to deal with disappointing feelings that get bigger and bigger as they look into a none responsive screen as parents try to make it feel better.
  
  
  
  
• A MUST have for the Holiday Season!!!
  By A1SFT7290395K5 on 2007-12-01
  THis is one of our favorite Webkinz. A Must have for the Holiday Season. Would make a great Stocking Stuffer or pre-Christmas gift. Super cute stuffed animal and on-line. The special Reindeer gift is the sleigh and makes a great Christmas feel. We built a snow room for him "Blitzen" and enjoy seeing him in the snow and sleigh. Dont let this one come and go before it is gone. Enjoy- Happy Holidays.

• Buyer Beware
  By ABJE6PTPEYQ9O on 2007-12-16
  The concept is great, except that there is no customer service. My daughter had been playing with her webkin online daily for weeks, then all of a sudden she couldn't log in, because she can't log in there was no way to get to customer service, so we had one of her friends login on their password and contact customer service for her, but the response was obviously a generic one telling her to login and change her password, but she can't login--that is the problem! But at least then we had an email address so I emailed them back and so far they have not even bothered to respond. So your child is going to get hooked on this, so be prepared to cough up money for another one when system malfunctions!
  
  
• Stupid Toy
  By on 2007-12-30
  My kids got this toy along with about 10-12 other gifts for Christmas. As usual, on Christmas morning my kids rip their toys out of the packaging and wrapping paper and then we clean everything up before heading out to Grandma's house 3 states away. Now that we are back in town after 4 days, we want to figure out all of toys and decided to get to get my daughter's webkinz adopted. Now we come to find out that we probably misplaced the special "Secret Code Tag". Well that's the end of the story for this toy. Beware, you can't do anything like register or play with the pets online without the "secret code tag". And the company cannot help you if you lose the tag code.
  
  Now my child and I are very frustrated. Why did they not just put the code on the fabric tag, or just attach the secret code tag more firmly to the toy? I don't understand why the company can't provide another code help if you lose the code tag. It's a stupid stuffed animal for crying-out-loud, not classified military intelligence!
  
  
• Good Webkinz for Xmas
  By on 2007-12-08
  I own 5 webkinz right now. This reindeer is seasonal for Christmas time. This webkinz will probably never retire since it is seasonal. On Webkinz World, you can feed your pet, play games, take it to the doctor, and all kinds of things. Do not buy Kookeys, Shining Stars, or E Pets. They are all copies of Webkinz.
  
  If you want to see all of my pets select.
  
  WEBKINZ - Hippo
  WEBKINZ - Googles
  Webkinz Black Lab BLACK
  WEBKINZ BULL DOG GANZ HM126
  WEBKINZ - Reindeer
  .............. and more to be coming

  By A2GZYZBGFRV27U on 2007-11-24
  I would give this webkinz a rating of 3. It is good on webkinz online but it isn't that cute of a stuffed animal. The animal is a seasonal webkinz so start buying around the holiday season!
  
  
• Perfect Stocking Stuffer
  By A13YC6E0QSHMAQ on 2007-11-24
  I just received this adorable webkinz reindeer - it is going to be perfect for the top of the stockings this year. Get yours now before they all go - from what I have heard these are going to be difficult to get this holiday season. It is a limited edition so if you are a collector - it is worth getting for more reasons. Happy Holidays! :)
  
  
• Awesome product
  By A3SWTZ1PNBLSIS on 2007-12-03
  I saw this online, and it was less expensive than in the store, and it was here so fast. Convienient and economical...works for me
  
  
• Holiday Webkinz
  By A2R9UJ3NJLY8XE on 2007-12-03
  We purchased two Reindeers for a girls christmas stockings. They are cute, very soft and just the right size to peek out the top of their stockings.

  By A206CTE9J46U9I on 2007-12-03
  My granddaughters have quite a few of the Webkins. They have a great time on line playing the different games and winning the different prizes. The Webkins web site is the best one. My 4year old granddaughter has learned alot and even does the games by herself.

  Webkinz in general are the new beanie babies with a modern twist - the technology of the internet. It is genius marketing actually because kids want them so they can go online and care for them and play games. The website keeps you coming back with things like the Wheel of WOW and a job center where you can only do so much in one day. Its all perfectly harmless fun and there's even some learning involved too. Now they even sell Webkinz clothes and who knows what will come next to buy for them. Overall, its good clean fun for the kids and genius marketing makes for a good product. It's parent friendliness is pretty high also because they are pretty reasonably priced and require no batteries. The accoutrements are a bit much, but that is up to the parents to control. It's a good way to get kids to do their chores to earn extra money to buy Webkinz clothes, right?!

  This was the first time buying a Webkinz. It was for my Nephew's birthday present. I really did not know much about them. I was surprised how soft and cuddly it was. Very well made. It came in time for his birthday. I had to research these online to see what they were about so I could understand what I was buying. My Nephew loves it. I will also buy the Penquin for him. (This is on his Christmas list). Its more than just a stuffed toy. I would recommend Webkinz. Although, my nephew will have to show me what you do online with them. Seams like a safe online interactive toy. From what I understand these are very popular with the kids. Thanks.

  Since one webkinz is not enough for my great niece, she selects the ones she wants and she really wanted this one. The delivery was great (even though not fast enough for her--she doesn't recognize the money part). The item was perfect and she really enjoys it. Thank you

  I bought this as a gift for my younger sister. She loves it. The reindeer is great for the holiday season. You can never go wrong with a Webkin. Great Toy!
  
  
• Webkinz Reindeer is a nice edition to collection
  By AIFIZUHCDLWD on 2007-12-29
  My wife and 2 daughters all recieved the Webkinz reindeer from Santa, they make a nice addition to there respective Webkins families, we would have liked to see it have more room related Christmas items, ex the black cat came with Halloween room decorations and items.
  
  
• Great Toy
  By AXV7FVH240KHF on 2007-12-29
  Webkinz are fun toys that you can go online and play with. The reindeer is adorable and tons of fun online! I am now and owner of 5 webkinz and the raindeer is my favorite. I give this toy 5 stars. I recommend all Webkinz products for ages 5-13 years of age.

  This Webkinz Reindeer was the perfect gift. She has a plush toy to play with and a computer game to log onto. Love the computer sight. It is a safe place for kids to play by themselves or with others. Highly recommend!!!!

  My daughter loves all the animals in Webkinz World. She enjoys visiting the website and playing with all her animals. I'm sure she will be adopting more pets to play along with her Christmas reindeer. Webkinz are soft, cuddly, and are great friends.

  By A1ISDQAWRJZBIW on 2008-01-08
  We bought, I mean Santa brought the Webkinz reindeer for our 5-year-old daughter for Christmas and she love, love, love, love, loves it, her. She aptly named her Dancer and enjoys taking care of her. The site is secure as far as I have been able to tell. I like that fact that the way to earn the most Webkinz $$ is to play the quiz game which leans more toward the educational side. Although, being 5 she is not able to read it all on her own, so I play with her. We enjoy the time together. You have to be willing to set aside a little time every couple of days to be on the computer with this if you decide to register the Webkinz. Fine with me as it builds computer skills she's going to need in this day and age without just mindless use of the arrow keys as most games require, e.g. familiarity with going to a site, key board skills, etc. It's a virtual pet & it's cute, it does "teach" a bit of responsibility, decision/choice making, math skills--harmless fun.
  
  
• My grandson loves it!
  By A1ZR3AHQ4DG5YZ on 2008-01-10
  My five year old granson has little experience with computers but that is changing fast. He loves this webkinz. He went online and named it as soon as he got it. Maybe it will lose its appeal now that the holidays are over, but he surely has enjoyed it.
  
  
• Damaged Reindeer
  By A1QMT7CO4TP6B7 on 2008-01-20
  Extremely disappointed with the service I received! One of the reindeer arrived with a hole in it's ear before Christmas and I still have not heard from the toy company (not Webkinz) about what they were going to do to correct the problem! I purchased two for Christmas gifts and one of them was not damaged. I will never buy anything from this company again!
  
  
• A fun holiday gift
  By AE9VZ940XL1PI on 2008-01-28
  My daughter has spent many hours playing with this toy. (It's a good thing that it is proving to be durable!) The educational value comes from the video link to the games on the Internet. (Without computer access, the educational value disappears.) I'm not sure if the toy would have been as attractive to her if it had not arrived during the holidays. Still, it was one of the favorite things that Santa brought to her this year.
