Vavoom! News December 2009

Dear Everyone,

I have several things to announce again this month:

1. New Bear

2. Christmas Accessories

3. A plug for my old friends

4. A surprise from the VKC

5. New Accessories

.

1. This week sees the launch of the Limited Edition Santa Bear. He is designed to be carried (worn) by you and when you touch him, he rezzes a miniature replica of himself which is a Vavoom! Active Toy. There’s also a copy of the bear’s Santa Hat in the package for you to wear if you so desire.

For those of you whose dogs haven’t yet experienced the fun of a Vavoom! Active Toy, there’s rarely been a better time. This little guy only costs L$100 which is half the usual price of the toys in the Active Toy Range. And for those of you that are worried about what you heard about them being “bad for the dogs,” read the Endorsement by Enrico on my web site. Get it from the horse’s mouth, or rather from the Dog Creator’s. He loves them!

Santa Bear will be in the store until the end of December.

.

2. I’ve put a selection of Christmas toys and accessories out at the store and put updated versions in the Update Stations. If you have Vavoom! Christmas things from previous years, you can get them updated to the latest version at no cost, as you would expect. The Candy Cane and Christmas Stocking toys have new sculpties for this year as well as updated scripts.

3. My old and dear friends Sandry Logan and Blu Sparkle at LogSpark International have recently teamed up with another old mate of mine, Solcar Amat, to make an astonishingly cute new product for the VKC Dogs. The Dog Bath!

There are three different sizes to suit the different breeds and there are custom made animations by Amat for each one. The baths are scripted to help you set them up to fit your avatar and to change not only colour, but the whole THEME — colour AND texture.

I heartily recommend that you come over and check them out. Here’s a teaser:

and here’s the SLURL. You can try them out for yourself at the LogSpark Dog Bath store.

4. Just in case you’ve missed all the announcements and the talk, there is a new arrival at the Virtual Kennel Club — the Polar Bear! Yes, you heard me correctly! Enrico made a Polar Bear. He’s a Limited Edition too! (Not Enrico. The Polar Bear!) He’ll be around until the end of December, so don’t miss out!

5. I made a couple of things with the Polar Bear in mind.

There is a new squeaky toy called Polar Cola which you can get for free as an existing Vavoom! Customer. Just click on the sign next to the Lucky Chair.

.

I have also reworked the Igloo *Magic* Dog House and renamed this version the “Polar Bear House”. It’s been sized so that it fits snugly around the bear and it’s a pretty close fit so you’ll need to use the “Wake Up” feature to get him out again. I’ve modified the commands to get him in and out, I think you’ll it. But don’t just take my word for it, bring your bear over and try it out. The Polar Bear House is priced at just L$100 until the end of December.

Finally, congratulations to Widget the winner of the VKC Mutt Contest and commiserations to the other contestants. You are all beautiful. Rico, if you’re reading, can you please make them all?

Lost Products

Don’t forget that anything you buy at the Vavoom! Store can be reclaimed for free if you lose it. If you need to reclaim something, you do it at the Update Stations:

Did I say that it’s free?

Want to Unsubscribe from the news service?

I am planning to introduce a system that will allow you to unsubscribe from the notices yourself, but it is going to be a while before it is ready. In the meantime, if you no longer want to receive these notices, please send me a Notecard with your name and the word unsubscribe. (You can just put this as the name of the Notecard, if you like. No Need to write anything inside.)

If you request to unsubscribe from this service, please be SURE that this is what you want to do. It means that you will not hear when there are updates to the Vavoom! Accessories even if those updates are vital when the dogs are changed such that the accessories MUST be changed to continue to work with the dogs. (This is of course a rare occurrence, but it is not entirely unheard of.)

.

Thanks as always for shopping at Vavoom!
