Monkey business as usual 🙊

It’s August, Poptropicans! 🌞 While we’ve started off the month with a bittersweet end for our Community Creations series, Poptropica continues to churn out some of its standard updates.

Like clockwork, Poptropica is kicking off the new month with a set of member gifts: a Monkey Fun Costume, Banana Follower, and Monkey Dance, which has your character bend and swing their arms. 🐒🍌

Yup, a couple of the inventory items are mislabeled.

Adventure Outfitters on Home Island also rotated its stock, bringing out “new” items including scooters and snacks for your clubhouse, and summer styles like the blended pastels and frog bucket hat. 🛵🐸

Finally, check out some of the latest fan art featured on Poptropica’s Instagram stories last week — including more Pop-inspired cosplay from clovermulo, whose other clips were nominated in this year’s Poppies awards. Speaking of which, don’t miss our Poppies recap! 🩵

Greetings with Goofball & Grimace 💄🌚

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, it’s time to pop on the trends!

Because we can’t escape the Barbenheimer craze this week with both Barbie and Oppenheimer now in theaters, Poptropica has jumped on the bandwagon with a Pop twist: comparing how the two films’ vibes are like the stark contrast between Dullsville and Goofside on Goofball Island.

A few weeks earlier, Poptropica was hot on another trend and its similarity to a Pop adventure: the Grimace Shake foreshadowed by the classic Zomberry Island! Like the bad blueberries causing a zombie outbreak in the game, the purple McDonald’s milkshake was known to “infect” its consumers, who pretended to fall sick for kicks on TikTok.

Check out this (Pop)-twisted take of the Grimace Shake meme from the PHB’s Gentle Dolphin! Stay safe out there, folks.

Speaking of fan art, shout-out to Clover @clomellu for sharing these cool clay creations of Hades from Mythology Island and Dr. Hare:

By the way, we’re just a few days away from announcing the winners of the 2023 Poppies with a video drop and party! Catch us on the PHC and the Poptropica Arcade on Friday, July 28 at 7pm EST — details in our party invite here. Hope to see many of you there! 🥳🥂

Teenage Kraken goofing around under orange skies 🦑

Slanted Fish

What’s part of Poptropica’s world this week? Move over, The Little Mermaid: Home Island is now promoting Dreamworks’ upcoming animation — Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken! 🦑

Inside, where you’ll swim instead of walk, Ruby needs your help retrieving a trident. 🔱 Click to jump to dodge sea creatures and tap the space bar to blast water, which knocks things out of the way. But you can only do one action at a time, so balance your moves carefully!

Upon completing the chase, you’ll win a Sea Dog Follower and purple Kraken Tentacles, which glow pink when the space bar is pressed.

Maybe it is better down where it’s wetter. Up on land, you might have seen the news last week of New York City covered in orange skies, a sign of poor air quality — which Poptropica quickly likened to the dystopian future of Time Tangled Island in a meme on social media. ✴️

And the Creators are staying cute talking about a “Poptropica summer” popping with activities — but besides the ads, when will we be getting new content to enjoy? The Baron’s ship has been gone half a year…

Much of the Pop Creators team is a mystery these days, but we’re still getting cool content from Jonathan Pitcher, who recently posted a selfie showing him working on Goofball Island. Keep going, Jon!

Rounding off this update, here’s the latest in fan art features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories. Enjoy! 🎉

Famous Poptropicans and Couches 🛋️

Hey Poptropicans — pop in for the latest on social media, the only part of the Pop franchise that gets much updating these days! 🪐

Meanwhile on Twitter, Pop Creator Jon Pitcher continues to share throwbacks from his career with the game, from the early days with Spy Island to a showcase of famous Poptropicans, including a not-so-subtle relabeling for Shark Boy/Guy, which is a whole story in itself. 🦈

All these nostalgic tweets coupled with Poptropica’s inactivity with the game and Creators’ Blog has some players wondering if the end is near for Pop. It’s only speculation, but it doesn’t help that Poptropica ignores the call-outs from fans across social media — even ours!

But while they may act as couch potatoes in that respect, they’re still busy pumping out memes and reacting to fan content on social media.

Poptropica reacts to the New York City blue couch meme.

Anyway, we’re sharing Pop-related social media posts from Jon Pitcher, Official Poptropica, and more on our Discord server, the PHC, so join us there for more updates! 🥳
