Buy Webkinz Hippo

Her name is Plumpy, and for some reason he seems to be the ambassador plush pet of the Webkinz stuffed animal line of toys. And, you can buy the Webkinz hippo online. Similar to the Webkinz frog and tiger, the hippo is pretty unattractive. But, Plumpy, which is her virtual reality name at Webkinz World, is very huggable.

This huggable hippo is made of furry light blue material, and is only about 8 inches long. It also has light blue feet that are made out of soft velour fabric. The inside of this hippo's nostrils are pink and she also has pink ears. Plumpy has black eyebrows which are embroidered on, and two black plastic buttons for eyes.



The hippo is one of the heavier animals in the Webkinz toy line, with extra plastic bb's in its paws and rear as stuffing, and these make Plumpy top heavy. Some people might consider this hippo ugly, but she appeals to boy boys and girls.

If you bring a hippo home, you also get special food for your pet called Stubbly Grass Nibbles. There is also a wallowing tub, as hippos are in the pig family, and they like their mudholes. Plumpy also comes with a balloon; and also some KinzCash which can be used online to buy her more food, clothes, furniture or even tuition for school. In its virtual world online, the hippo likes hangin' out at 'jungle parties' with the Webkinz gorilla and tiger.

Since first introduced in April, 2005 by Ganz Manufacturing, Webkinz and smaller brother Lil' Kinz posh animal toys have been a hit, and the hippo has led the way. These cute critters have gained popularity, and are now collectibles.

Like all other Webkinz plush toys, the hippo comes with a special tag which contains a code. When your child enters that code online at www.Webkinz.com, it triggers a Web version of their toy that lives in a virtual reality world which makes it possible for kids to interact with the toy learn about it, feed it, bathe it, clothe it and have great fun caring for it. This is a great educational advantage for children.


You'll be happy to learn that hippos you can buy online are one of the top five Webkinz species of animal toys. Dogs are also among the leaders, and the canine critters comprise several breeds.

There are bulldogs, basset hounds, cocker spaniels, golden retrievers, German shepherds, husky dogs, beagles, Dalmatians, pugs, poodles, terriers, Chihuahuas and rare cheeky dogs to name a few. Tigers make the popularity list, and your child can pick from a baby or an adult tiger. Lions and cows round out the top five Webkinz animals found in most homes.

No matter what animal your child decides to adopt, they should spin the Wheel of Wow every day on the Webkinz World Web site. This activity only takes a minute or so, and every spin is a winner. There are always prizes, and anything you don't want you can turn around and sell. It is fun.

This toy is basically what I expected it to be. The child I bought it for was very excited to have it. Webkinz are popular but there really isn't much to them other than their popularity. It is soft and cute! I would suggest it for any young child who likes stuffed animals and uses a computer.
