Although Ganz has never come out and said it and probably never will, and younger Webkinz
customers and collectors probably have a harder time coping with it,
but the Lil’ Kinz line has effectively been discontinued (or put on
hiatus is a better phrase for it.) Not releasing a Lil’ Kinz since last
July is very indicative of this, plus the introduction of the Zumbuddy Webkinz line and two new Signature Webkinz
offshoot lines is more than enough proof that Ganz’s interests are
elsewhere in other product lines. Other indicative proof would be that
as of late, bird and fish styles have been introduced as normal Webkinz
as opposed to Lil’ Kinz. If the line was going to continue, I imagine
the Lionfish, Caterpillar, Pink Cockatoo, to name a few, would have been Lil’ Kinz instead, as they’re typically smaller animals in nature.
However, here is the list and product codes from an old Ganz
document of Lil' Kinz styles that were going to be released... but were
scrapped when Ganz decided not to make the new lil Kinz. Will some of
these styles be reconsidered and introduced as full sized Webkinz or
small Signature Webkinz? Only time will tell. This list is 100% valid
as it was sent prior to the announcement of Polka Back Fish, Budgie,
Oriole, and Tomato Clown Fish, and then one by one they were announced.
Here's the list of those who didn't make the cut, but may make a reappearance in the future in some form or another -
HS508 - Hamster
HS509 - Warbler
HS514 - Parrotlet
HS517 - Grey Mouse
HS518 - Butterfly Fish
HS519 - Pink Scalefin
HS520 - Blue Parakeet
Obviously not every variation will make
the cut as there are typically about 4-6 new Webkinz issued each month.
Some are the new signature series to compliment the regular full size
Webkinz version. But it looks like the Lil Kinz seems to have taken a
back seat to all other Webkinz at least for the time being, if not
forever. A cheaper alternative and a joy to many that considered them
the babies to their mommies and daddies.
