Sneak Peeks

Colors All Around Us, Maintenance Update

Slanted Fish

Colors all around us – there are so many different colors everywhere! The earth we are on is an amazing creation. 😀

The Poptropica Creators must have been thinking the same thing. Comic Kid, a Creator, posted an interesting sneak peek of a colorful shop with clown gear. Thanks Blue 6254 for the news! Blog picture below:

Blog Post Title: Clowning Around
Description: It never ceases to amaze me that no matter where I go, there always seems to be stores that sell just about anything you can think of.

This sneak peek looks like it’s showing a nice shop stocked with colored wigs, hats with flowers poking out, balloons, glasses, and more! Comic Kid even seems to be waving to us in that picture. However, I’m not sure which island this sneak peek is for… 😦

Looking on the colorful side, there’s a new poll – no, make that 2 – on the Creators’ Blog. Thanks Cheerful Claw! The first one says: “GIRLS ONLY! – What is your favorite color?” The options are pink, blue, black, purple, yellow, green, red, brown, and white. Pink is winning this one. Don’t feel left out, boys, there’s one for you guys too! Scroll down a little to see the second poll: “BOYS ONLY! – What is your favorite color?” The options are a bit different: black, white, orange, green, red, blue, purple, yellow, and brown. Blue is winning!

Also, Director Lion (Gentle Lion) would like everyone to know that there is an ad between places on some islands such as Early Poptropica called “The Big Apple”. Remember to take a look at the posts below for some interesting Poptropica updates!

Maintenance Update
Last night and this morning Poptropica was down for maintenance. Im guessing it was mostly behind the scenes update, more or less the finishing touches on Bignate island. 😛
But there was one thing that i managed to see.
Email Notification SignupPoptropica has replaced the Bignate email to Astro-Knights email. Whether it means Bignate is soon to be released or maybe it means Astro will be coming out sooner the we think.

Advertisements, Snapshot Series

Disneys’ Lucky Socks

Codien

Poptropica have released some more secret Disneys advertisements that even i didn’t know they were made, and Vlad the Viking has met up with another poptropican in Snapshot sagas.


Snapshot Sagas: Lucky Socks
On Monday, Vlad the Viking posted another saga on travelling the islands and meeting with poptropicans. This time he had a strange voyage to a new island, where he met with Lucky Socks in Party Time Tower, on Time Tangled Island. Lucky Socks sure was ‘Lucky‘. This is his story:

After a wonderful breakfast of crispy bacon and fluffy pancakes in early poptropica, I set sail in an 8-bit schooner that left harbor early that morning.

The sea was calm, and the sky was clear. This trip was turning out very differently from the perilous voyage I took from Shark Tooth Island on my makeshift raft.

The weather soon changed, however, while I was relaxing in a hammock tied between the masts. A bright light flashed across the sky, nearly blinding me. As the spots in my vision faded I beheld a grand vortex of swirling color where the clouds had once been. I felt myself being pulled up to the vortex.

Crazy visions swirled past me as I flew through the void. I could see far off places like the Great Wall of China, the earthen structures from the Mali Empire, and even a band of my viking brothers stranded on a deserted island in a stormy sea! Many windows into different lands and times all flowed past me as I approached another bright light. I thought I had reached my end.

There was a flash of light, and I found myself in the middle of a street. I sat up, rubbing my bruised beard and checked my camera. Luckily it still worked! I jumped up and looked around to see where I was. A nearby building towered over my head. It was the Party Time Tower! I was sure I would find some Poptropicans to photograph inside, and I was right! Lucky Socks was having fun running around and playing games.

Keep your eyes peeled for me when you travel through Poptropica! You never know where I will end up next! (And for that matter, neither do I!)

Disney Advertisement
Poptropica have released its second Disney Advertisement. This time featuring Phineas and Ferb, and Wizards of Waverly Place.
You can find the advertisement on Early Poptropica, Shark Tooth, Time Tangled, and Nabooti Island. On all the other islands you can still find ‘Disney Space Buddies‘.

disneyad

Inside the building there is 2 Quiz games based on the two shows. There is also 2 costumes, Phineas from ‘Phineas and Ferb’, and Alex Russo from ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’. I know what you’re thinking. “What about Ferb?” Hopefully they make a costume for him because he’s really cool. 😛
If they do release him please inform us via comment.

Also poptropica has made many new items as informed by Katie. These items include new vests,  new shirts and also new pants for the ladies! There is also a new pink tie.
I havn’t seen any of the new clothing from Poptropica but it seems like they are good.

NOTE:
If you found your name hasn’t been credited today, thats because you did not listen to Scary Tomato. Everyone please look at the previous comments to make sure no one has said it. It gets really annoying for us and for you when you have a pile of comments saying “Oh, Oh, THE NEW POPTROPICA THING ON THE CREATORS BLOGY IS OUTS!!!! PLZ CreDIt MEZ!”
Please stop it!

PHB Sneak Peaks: The New Knights of Poptropica

Codien

February 8th, 2009 #3

[-!CLASSIFIED!-]


-Poptropica Help Blog Sneak Peaks-

Welcome to another week of ‘Poptropica Help Blog Sneak Peaks’. These posts are posted every week on Sundays. In every new post there will be stories that only we have. And only we post them. These stories are classified and are very secret.
This weeks story is ‘The New Knights of Poptropica’, todays stories are all about the new island ‘Astro-Knights’.


-The New Knights of Poptropica-
They’re heroes just like you or me…But in shiny new armour.

Friday the 7th.  Just like any other day. But any other day was always a different day for Codien, encountering Pirates and strange dancing men in hats was just the usual-unusual thing.
Today as Codienwas walking to the ‘Hair Club’ to get his hair cut and re-curled, he almost tripped over as his eyes shifted to a giant object hidden behind one of the buildings. He forgot about his trip towards the Hair Club and found himself walking towards the massive shape. Getting closer to the object it became recognisable. Hiding behind the vast skyscrapers was a giant spaceship. It reminded him of the Space Buddies Spaceships but this one was silver with red and yellow stripes.
Codien edged closer to the spaceship only taking a tiny step towards the spaceship each second. It was only when he was a few meters away from the ships door when it shifted open with a strange hissing noise. From the blinding light pouring out of the opening, Out stepped two objects shrouded by light. Slowly floating closer and closer the two objects became visible appearing as two Poptropicans, well at least Codien thought they were, dressed in brown robes. One of the two stepped forward with an outstretched hand gesturing for him to come closer. He spoke, “We need your help, the whole kingdom is in danger!’
Without even a chance for Codien to answer they pulled him into the light with the door closing behind them.

Birds were twittering, the sun was beaming down upon him. Codien had woken without any memory of the sudden trip. All he could remember was the light that brought him here. But where was here?
Glancing around Codien found himself in front of an old building with a telescope gaping out of the roof. Taking in more of his surroundings he figured he was in the middle of an old town full of bustling Poptropicans. It was an old town with high powered telescopes, satellite TV, electricity and the weirdest thing was that most of the poprtropicans walking around were half robotic.
Codien had been taken into the past of the future. The world was a collaboration of both worlds.

Codien still didn’t know what he was doing here. The Poptropicans with brown robes were no where in sight. Looking through the crowds Codien couldn’t find anyone he knew. It was from the corner of his eye he noticed one of the brown robed poptropicans enter the building to the right. Getting up in urgency Codien went to investigate. Peering through the windows Codien saw a room full of  majestic armour and weaponry. With curiosity he entered the building only to be confronted by the two poptropicans that brought him here and and a stranger dressed in Purple robes.

The next 10-20 minutes Codien was told about the unfortunate events of the King and Queen. It only got really exciting when they decided i was going to rescue them. The Blue robed man took many measurements and left the room. He came back with two different outfits in hand. Red and Blue amour.  Both were amazing.
But which one should i choose?

These outfits will be the two sets of armour that you will be able to choose from, like in Super Power island, and customize. How cool do they look. The blue one has a futuristic helmet with a medieval body. The red one has a medieval helmet with futuristic body. I love it how they both have aspects of the future and the past.

I’m sorry its just the one story this week guys. I had another but it was about the ‘A very special dog’ which ended up being the Space Buddies advertisement. 😛

So that’s my Sneak Peaks this week. Next week I’ll have more sneak peaks on the upcoming island Astro-Knights.
See you next week.
