Webkinz animals are released in batches, but just like Beanie Babies, are also retired in batches! As a result, retired Webkinz become Rare Webkinz, and hard to find. Some of the rarest include Cheeky Dog , which has been retired as of 2007, and there may have only been 50 ever produced in the United States. That particular Cheeky Dog, its important to remember, however, is brown. This is because, Cheeky Dog was re-released in late 2007 with white fur.While retired Webkinz might be re-released, its hard to predict when retired ones will come back. Its even harder to know when the current roster, or list of Webkinz, might be retired as well!But as of this writing, here is a complete list of retired Webkinz:American Cocker SpanielBasset HoundBlack FriesienBlack StallionCheeky CatCheeky DogElephantGerman SheppardGold and White CatGorillaGray and White CatHorseLeopardLizardLove PuppyPegasusRacoonBlue RhinoSamoyed SealSherbet BunnySaint BernardTigerSnakeStriped SnakeToco ToucanUnicornYellow LabSomething else to keep in mind? That sometimes Ganz retires Webkinz *really* quickly. How quick? How about sometimes even *before* Webkinz are officially released? Yep it happened at the end of June 2008, when they announced five Webkinz were going to be retired, even before two had officially shipped out! Its hard to know how often this will happen, but it just goes to show that trying to predict what kinds of Webkinz are going to be retired is tough!Now, there are some Webkinz that aren t *really* retired , they are just seasonal. These seasonal Webkinz are Webkinz that Ganz only releases around certain times of the year, and they might re-appear the following season. For example, Webkinz Reindeer are released around you guessed it Christmas time.Rare Webkinz aren t really any different than normal Webkinz. They don t have special features in the doll, and having them doesn t mean you get anything extra in Webkinz World. They re just more valuable as a collector s item because they Ganz has decided not to produce them any more.If you re a collector of the Webkinz, then it might be important to keep out for which Webkinz might be retiring, and which ones if they re retired are making a come back. If you re interested in purchasing a retired or rare Webkinz, eBay or other sites on the Internet are your best bet.If you re NOT a collector, then just enjoy Webkinz plush dolls for what they re worth to you (and your kids if you have kids) because they can be a whole lot of fun.
