Last week we posted about a sign that read “Cryptids Island Coming Soon” that appeared for a while on the Poptropica homepage, but mysteriously disappeared. Loud Shark even took a picture for us. But now the Poptropica Creators are trying to mess with our minds!

The creators must have found our secret database. They are stating accusations! Captain Crawfish addressed this issue on the PCB today, saying:

Did you see it?

There are rumors that a new Poptropica Island was announced on the Poptropica homepage last week, only to disappear. Like some kind of mythical beast vanishing into the fog, it was there one minute, and gone the next.

Eyewitness accounts can be unreliable. Scientists have yet to prove the existence of the next Poptropica Island. The whole thing could be a hoax.

Did you see it? Was it real? Was the next Poptropica Island truly revealed?

The truth is out there.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

The truth. It’s out there. WE MUST BE ONTO SOMETHING. I mean, the picture proves the rumor true, doesn’t it? What are the Creators trying to pull? Do you think they might be causing doubt among us because they’re having second thoughts about Cryptids Island, or is this all one big joke? :O

In a cold hot air balloon! Sorry I’m talking in songs 😛 Anyways, lots of updates today in the Poptropica world! First off…

Coolio! The portion of the tree looks like one from Counterfeit Island. I wonder……

Next update: Loud Shark has taken a picture of a new island that was only on the homepage for an hour. Very interesting… Pic below:

I also noticed that there’s no info page for it. Hmmmmm…….

Some definitions for cryptids are posted below (thanks pengyzu, LazyFeather, and Alec Warper!) :

Pengyzu: Cryptid basically is something unexplainable by Science. Like extinct dinos walking in present day. Examples are the Loch Ness Monster and Aliens.

LazyFeather: A cryptid is an animal or creature whose existence is unrecognized. Famous cryptids are Big Foot, Yeti, and The Loch Ness Monster. Maybe it has something to do with monsters…

Alec Warper: In cryptozoology and (to a lesser degree) cryptobotany, a cryptid (from the Greek “κρύπτω” (krypto) meaning “hide”) is a creature or plant whose existence has been suggested but that is unrecognized by a scientific consensus, and whose existence is moreover often regarded as highly unlikely.

Last update of the day: TOY STORY 3 AD!!!!! Loud Shark also has taken a video of how to beat the ad for us:

Thanks for providing everything for us Loud Shark! 😀

Ad Locations: Counterfeit, Super Power, Spy, Mythology, Reality TV (comment if you find any more!)

Age Limit: Unknown for now, but comment if you find it! 😀

In other news: MT wants to let you guys know that the Party With Hobos Season 6 has just begun! Make sure to watch! 🙂

That’s it for me this week! Have a great weekend! 🙂 ~Shaggy Tornado

Bonus Items, Cryptids Island, Sneak Peeks

Replay Castle!

October 21, 2010August 2, 2018 Slanted Fish

If you visit your inventory, you may notice that your island medallions have more than just the “Put On” button – a new “Replay Island” button was added to every medallion card! When you click on it, it will ask you to confirm whether you really do want to lose all your items and progress for the island.

Unfortunately, nothing happened when I clicked “Yes.” Maybe they’re working on it, but this could be a cool feature we can be looking forward to! (thanks, Blueshield)

Update: The Replay button is gone! 😮

Also, here’s a sneak peek of the next Poptropica island:

Not exactly the mightiest castle out there. What’s up with the bucket attached to a flagpole by roof? Construction of this fortress in the fog looks only half-finished. What do you think might be involved in this one?

According to reader Maximum Ride, the flag is Scotland’s. Could this have anything to do with the “French” island sneak peeks from before? Maybe we’re not just getting a France-like island, maybe it’s Europe-themed! Who knows. 😛

Barbie MONSTERS

And dere aww coot and fuzzy! Da End

…….

I wish.

There’s a new Barbie *choking sound* Girls *gag* ad for girs (yes I had to make a girl account. The sacrifices I make for you guys…) Thanks to 101ab.boon for posting this on the PHF. I found it on a 12 yr old account on Steamworks, Early Poptropica, Shark tooth, Time Tangled, 24 Carrot, Super Power. Comment if you find any other ages or islands!

Basically what you do is go inside the ad (obviously…) and talk to *choke* Barbie *gag* and she’ll explain her problem.

Ughhh, — I thought her legs were abnormally long...?

After you overcome the horror of talking to a plastic owner of the highest pitched and most annoying voice in all reality she’ll tell you what’s up. Or down, or nowhere really…

Barbie... disgusting — Life in plastic: Not fantastic!

You help her choose a costume when you say “What choices do I have?” And you need to choose the coustume that *Cough* Barbie *choke* is describing. E.g. “I need a costume with a bit more of a buzz!” A bee. When you choose the right one she’ll give you a ‘Cat Costume” (So bad luck if you’re allergic to cats like me) You costumise that, and run to your right. Talk to the Secret Agent (who fails to reconise you as you director so remember to fire her later) and she’ll let you go into the party. Basically that’s that except you get to meet a few old friends! Do you reconise these two?

Finally, GOOD memories — Having a Fang-tastic time with old friends... who forgot their punch?! :O

That’s all for me now,

*Walks off cliff and falls into different dimension*

Furry monster… carnival?

October 19, 2010January 2, 2013 Slanted Fish

Justly named Furry Monsters 1-4 (see above pic; 1-4 are in order left to right), these new [and so far, unannounced] releases to the Poptropica Store mean you can now get what used to be ultra-rare leaked costume parts (wings, horns, fur bodies) for only 75 credits per costume! Here’s what they say:

Furry Monster 1: “Monster is the new black.”
Furry Monster 2: “Don’t hate me because I’m spooky.”
Furry Monster 3: “Be a hit at the next monster bash!”
Furry Monster 4: “Guaranteed to shock and frighten!”

And apparently, the available furry monsters are actually different by your gender! So there’s actually more of a variety available, and the good news is, they’re all AWESOME!

These creatures resemble the leaked costumes of “Monster Carnival Island”, the unreleased island that appeared on the Poptropica Map in early 2008 and mysteriously never went live. (Instead, as older players may recall, it was replaced by 24 Carrot.) As far as the Creators are showing us, they probably won’t be releasing this Monster Carnival Island.

For reference: The Poptropica Help Blog has given away 13 of these epic monster-type costumes back when they were unobtainable. You can read all about our PHB 1 Million Monster Competition by clicking here.

So these monster costumes aren’t very rare any more, now that anyone can obtain them… but they’re still cool! Don’t you just love those critter bits? 😀

What do you think of being able to easily access what were once known as ultra-rare Poptropica clothing?

Ad building news according to Sunset1624: “There’s also a new ad for girls (I found it on my 12 year old account) called Barbie Girls Halloween Bash. You help Barbie pick out a good costume for the party, and when you pick out a costume she likes (it could be any) you get a cat costume for yourself and you get to go to the Halloween party. You can’t costumize any of the good costumes though. The only costumes you can costumize are the costumes of the same people from the Haunted House.”
