MAFIA WARS The Stranger's Swag: Wholphin

There's a new Stranger's Swag that's available. This offering is the Wholphin, with stats of 64 attack and 103 defense. Again, kind of meh, and not even active items for many of us. There is a splash about it on your Free Gift page, and also a Mafia Wars home page banner about it. From both locations you can post to the news feed to collect up to three Wholphins, and you can click on the same posts from your friends to collect two more.

I wondered what the heck a Wholphin was, if it was anything at all or something that Zynga dreamed up. Turns out it's...something. As evidenced with previous animal equipment loot items (Liger, comes to mind), Zynga likes their strange hypbrids. Learn about the Wholphin HERE.

MAFIA WARS Dead Or Alive event, new loot items added

In addition to new mystery bags, several new loot items have been added to the Mafia Wars inventory overnight, one of which appears to reveal an upcoming event called Dead Or Alive.


Added:
Smooth Perfection (A:75 D:110) from Gifting
Shot Blade (A:103 D:67) from Gifting
Lightning Resistant Suit (A:69 D:104) from Gifting
Black Velvet (A:102 D:63) from Gifting
Wholphin (A:64 D:103) from Gifting
Tarot Reader (A:104 D:66) from Gifting
Barrel (A:69 D:103) from Gifting
Viper Scale Vest (A:102 D:68) from Gifting
Outlaw (A:77 D:176) from Special Event

The Outlaw is listed as a special event item, and it states "This item is available during the 'Dead or Alive' event. Apparently the Outlaw is also invisible, as there is no graphic for it.

 

In fact, none of the items added have graphics, except for the Smooth Perfection, which can be obtained by vaulting the new Disco Collection. These other items are listed as Gifting items, so I thought maybe these were new items that will drop from the new Mystery Bags, but I haven't seen them. What I HAVE seen a lot of from the new mystery bags are Biohazard Crate items.
