Poptropica Superstars: Sporty Boa

Introducing our last Poptropica Superstar for the week: Sporty Boa!

Sporty Boa is a longtime Poptropica Member who was among the first to finish Shrink Ray Island. She’s also an expert Star Link player, with a lifetime record of 29 wins and only 2 losses! You might want to think twice before accepting that challenge in a common room.

Congratulations, Sporty Boa, on being today’s Poptropica Superstar!

We’ll be sure to feature more Poptropica Superstars in the future, so keep an eye out. The next Poptropica Superstar could be you!

Congrats, Sporty Boa– and wow, not only was she one of the first to finish the newest island, she’s a pro at Star Link. Only 2 losses! I’d keep my eyes peeled out, and better not accept any Star Link challenges any time soon! 😉

Keep Poptropica’n, ’cause you could be the next Poptropica Superstar!

See you guys, better boa. (Readers: AGH! :x)

This series just gets better and better, isn’t that right, Quiet Boot

elmopwns

This new superstars series just gets bettter and better :D. Today’s superstar is… Quiet Boot.

Quiet Boot has membership on Poptropica. She’s finished the two newest islands (Red Dragon and Shrink Ray) on the day they were released. Talk about dedication.

The creators also mentioned about making de islands harder…gosh…NO…bad idea, creators (shakes head). Ugh. Shrink Ray Island lowered my self esteem by a notch at first xD.

Quiet Boot’s ranks unbeaten on the Red Dragon Island “Prepare for Impact” sumo wrestling game. Another reason why you’d have to be pretty dedicated to do that :P. Congratulations, Quiet Boot! You may be quiet but you’re a star player to boot, and you’ve certainly aced the game so far.

Hope some author on this blog like Hijuyo gets recognized as well. What if hi.Juyo gets on there? She certainly should be recognized for her blogging achievements. I’d bet a dollar on that :P. EP out!

Congrats to the next Poptropica Superstar!

EDIT: Sorry about the deleted picture of the video for the Smurf’s ad. I have no idea why they would delete it.

The Creators’ have introduced the next installment of Poptropica Superstars with today’s superstar: Grey Icicle! 😀

Poptropica Superstars: Grey Icicle

Introducing another Poptropica Superstar: Grey Icicle!

Not to be confused with our first Poptropica Superstar, Grey Icicle is nevertheless a dedicated player who you’ve seen most recently as one of the first 10 finishers of Shrink Ray Island. Grey Icicle has been playing Poptropica for over 2 years, and in that time has torn through some of our toughest islands within days of their release. He’s also won 93 games of Skydive!

Grey Icicle, congratulations on being a Poptropica Superstar!

We at the PHB Give you a big hearty congratulations on this Honorable position! 🙂

In other news, 2 new ads have made their way into the Poptropica world: The Smurfs and Fijit Friends. Screenshots are provided by Striped Grape!

First off, the Smurfs ad isn’t a building ad, but a video ad. When you watch the video (which is about the movie coming out sometime this m onth), at the end, you get a free Smurfs costume!

The video ad of The Smurfs

The next ad is Fjit Friends, which is for girls. It’s a product that is a girl’s best friend and can say a lot of phrases. Inside there is a video, a quiz game, and a dummy with a costume from one of the Fijit Friends.

The building for the Fijit Friends ad.

Well, have fun with these ads, and congrats again to Grey Icicle! 🙂   ~ST

Shrink Ray Island

July 28: The Day You Get Your “Shrink Spurt”

Slanted Fish

Hahaha, kids getting their growth spurt, and now a shrink spurt, get it? Got it? Good.

Moving on… the day your Poptropican turns miniature (if it hasn’t already) will be the day Shrink Ray Island releases to the public! And that day is…

July 28th!

That’s about two weeks away from now. Not to worry, the PHB already has our Shrink Ray island resources up and ready on our Island Help page, which links to our written walkthrough guide with Shrink Ray Island cheats, a labeled map, video playlist tutorial, and if you’re still stuck, an ever-helpful discussion page!

In other news, thanks to PHB reader Angry Wing we have learned the names of some more Poptropica Creators – Cara Campanelli, who handles customer support, and Kevin McGrath, who used to work as Poptropica’s customer support. And thanks to Crazy Thunder, who gave us the identity of Jon Pitcher, alias Master Mime, and John “J.T.” Gallant, an intern at Poptropica. You can check out all this and more on our Poptropica Creators’ Database.

Until next time!

The next superstar: Fierce Moon!

elmopwns

The creators are very eager and zealous to continue this new series it seems. I’d have to say, NICE IDEA, creators. They’re starting to recognize VIP players and top gamers in the world of Poptropica. The new PCB post is all about the newest Superstar.

Say hello to Fierce Moon!

She’s completed 19 out of the 20 islands – all except Red Dragon Island. Get out there and FINISH IT, Fierce Moon! It says in the new superstars post that it she’s also completed all the miniquests including Haunted House, Dr. Hare’s Secret Lab, etc. Work hard to beat everything, Fierce Moon. Have fun being recognized as a star. 😀

Also, Hijuyo recognized that yesterday’s superstar, Grumpy Icicle, is a PHB reader. He even commented on the post! According to several comments from PHB readers on this post, Fierce Moon runs the Poptropica fansite known as PoptropicaSecrets. (The original PCB post referenced with the phrase “Poptropica secrets.”) So if you’re reading this, FM, we wish you a big congrats!
