But over the years, as retailers like Toys R Us have fallen out of business, so has the sale of physical toys.
This past May, Webkinz announced that it would no longer continue restocking the plushes. Many of the biggest toy brands in the world — My Little Pony, Transformers, Strawberry Shortcake — have had times where there were no toys on retail shelves. Despite its decline in popularity, nostalgia for Webkinz remains a popular trope online. Social media is littered with jokes about dead and starving pets, or POV-style point-of-view videos of users logging back into the game after years of abandonment.
