Customer Reviews

High Rating
I wasn't sure whether to get a Webkinz, Kookey or Shining Star for my daughter. With a little research I noticed that Webkinz's fans were mostly middle school aged and very hostile toward "knock-off" competitors, but yet there was a huge fan base. I decided to get one of each to see which my elementary aged daughter preferred. As a toy, I would score Webkinz the lowest in quality and Kookey and Shining Star equally high. The websites are all very similar, but my daughter much more preferred Kookey's because it had a navigation map and unique homes that were not just rooms, but neighborhoods. I preferred that Kookey does not have access to chat with other members (as does Webkinz). Even more important, Webkinz website is limited to a year's membership, while Kookey's has no such limitations. I also recommend Shining Star for its educational benefit with the star registry. My daughter was tied between Kookey's and Shining Star, and Webkinz failed in comparison.

Kookeys now blows away Webkinz!
Amazing what a year can do! Kookeys has completely rebuilt their website into an amazing 3-D world where virtual 'koos' can meet, become friends, go to the University, do jobs, find quests, own and decorate homes, and play games. It is much more involved now than Webkinz. Kookeys has a safe chat that allows players to communicate using the available words and phrases. This feature is much more indepth than Webkinz. Also, when you become friends with another koo, you are supposed to be able to 'whisper' to each other, which allows typing text like on Club Penguin. Right now that feature isn't up, but Kookeys is adding new content every 2-3 weeks. The giraffe is really cute in person and online. I recommend Kookeys for anyone who enjoys Webkinz and similar online worlds.
