Webkinz Penguins

I ordered him and he should be in any day now, he is retired and hard to come by
My Webkinz came in today here he is, now what should I name him?

Ty Penguins...

I have added these to my new collection: Waddles and Paddles

I also have this one but he comes out only for Christmas... his name is Fairbanks
So I see that the Waddles in the UK has orange feet instead of Blue, I really want one but am not sure how to find one here in the US?

The Penguin Collection

I want to order some of these amazing books that are redesigned by the Penguin collection, I talked to the franchise and they stated that only the UK does this (you can still order books though, just not with the penguin covers) but I did find a journal of theirs that has the old fashion penguin covers on it that I would like to buy... if I find any in store I will let you know where, but so far here is where you can order as of now:

Go Penguins

I know this is old news but I still find it very interesting:
Go Penguins was a public art event held in Liverpool, Wirral and St Helens, in Merseyside, England, from 22 November 2009 to 10 January 2010. It consisted of over 200 penguin sculptures which were painted and decorated by artists, schools and community groups. The sculptures were displayed throughout these regions. Go Penguins was organised by Wild in Art, who organised the similar project Go Superlambananas during Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture in 2008, in conjunction with Liverpool City Council. Penguins were chosen as the subject of the project as part of Liverpool’s Year of the Environment, linking global warming with winter.[1]
