So a Lumberjerk wandered into the poptropica store and met a troll with a dryad follower and said “Hey, let’s speculate!”

Green Boa

I know it’s a random title but it sums up what’s happened recently on the PCB.

Post #1:

 

Twisted Thicket items now available in the Poptropica Store!

 

Poptropica Members may have another week to wait before you can play Twisted Thicket, but you can visit the Poptropica Store right now to pick up your exclusive Twisted Thicket gear! These new items include a Lumberjerk costume, a Troll look and power, and a Dryad follower.

All of these exciting Gold Cards are available for Poptropica Members, but you’ll have to act fast — the Lumberjerk costumes will only be available until the end of Early Access!

I wonder what the troll power is? Members shall be able to find out and use it irresponsibly on other poptropicans 👿

Stay tuned…

 
We’ve got some exciting news to share with all of our Poptropican Friends! Only… it’s not quite ready to show off yet.

So here’s the deal: check back in with the Poptropica Creators’ blog tomorrow for the big announcement. Until then, feel free to speculate!

 Well, that was entertaining… and for those who don’t know, this is what speculate means.
 

Speculate

  [spek-yuh-leyt]
verb (used without object), -lat·ed, -lat·ing.
 
1. to engage in thought or reflection; meditate (often followed by on, upon,  or a clause).
2.to indulge in conjectural thought.
3.to engage in any business transaction involving considerable risk or the chance of large gains, especially to buy and sell commodities, stocks, etc., in the expectation of a quick or very large profit.
 
So, start speculating!

Extra extra! Twisted Thicket release date!

Shaggy Tornado

BREAKING NEWS!

The Twisted Thicket release date has been announced! So when can you play Twisted Thicket?

Inquiring Poptropicans want to know, and now we’re happy to announce that Twisted Thicket will be available for Poptropica Members starting next Thursday, April 12.

You can follow along with the countdown on the Poptropica homepage, or check right here for the latest updates. You’ll be in the thick of things before you know it!

April 12! That’s about a week away! So get ready for this adventure! 🙂

PHC chatter Max has taken screenies of the sneak peeks from Daily Pop and has a theory that they could all be from the same island! What do you think?

~~~

Another PHC chatgoer, Hawk/Rough Raptor was cruising the Avatar Studio and discovered a Poptropican….that was holding….SURPRISE! A DOG. YES, A DOG! See for yourself. 😮

The character does look like a diva anyway, but how did she get the dog? EDIT: Barbie ad!Interesting…. Leave your thoughts about this in the comments!

~~~

And lastly, LS has notified us 2 new ads in Poptropica! The first one is an Adventure Time video advertisement. If you watch the video, you can get the Finn costume!

The second ad is also an Adventure Time ad, but it’s a quest! You have to get to the top of the treehouse before the fire burns it down! Your prizes are the Fire Monster Power and the Flambo follower! I found it on one of my younger accounts on Great Pumpkin. LS found it on Early Pop.

~~~

One last thing: Have you guys noticed the loss of the Costume Collector in the Store? Do you think they’re replacing this with the Costume Closets? Leave ideas in the comments! Well, this has been the end of Poptropica News for tonight! This has been ST! 😀

Bonus Items, Store

Dat Nose

About those noses.. thankfully, that was just an April Fool’s prank. 

This goofy prank, which probably scared most of you, is not a mandatory thing. In fact, you have the power to make it optional. These hideous fake noses could now be found in the store, so you could look silly the entire year – not just April 1st. That day is just an excuse to be prankful ( which is not a real word ).

What could the next April Fools prank be? Maybe we could have ears, or turn into super villains, or they make our Poptropican the opposite gender or something. Anyway it is, the Creators have proved that they still have their childish side.

By the way, if you want something funny to read, Party with Hobos is in the middle of its ninth season and so far it’s great!

Monster Carnival Island, Uncategorized

Poptropica “nose” best!

Slanted Fish

Starting next week, your Poptropican may find a new anatomical feature sprouting…

Seeing as they look somewhat ugly, it’s most likely a joke. Why else would they post on April 1st? It’s also one of those rare times the PCB has made a Sunday post. 🙂

Not since the introduction of the Costumizer or the removal of the Monster Carnival map icon have we made an update this momentous.

Did you catch that nod in the direction of Monster Carnival? That was an island that appeared on the map as “Coming soon” many years ago, but mysteriously disappeared just to be replaced with 24 Carrot Island. This may be the first time the Creators have actually acknowledged it.

Now necks, on the other hand, may be a better innovation… gotta have something to connect the pyknic ovals together.

The Week’s Report

Brave Tomato

Well, there hasn’t been much activity on the PCB this week. However, they leave us with two noticable clues.

Here’s the first post:

Up, up, and away!

 

Some of the inhabitants of Twisted Thicket can be pretty prickly!

We are flying again? Seems like.
 
… at least those dryads seem nice.
 
Secondly, the mysterious new tab could be introduced soon. And the Creators show it by having Bigfoot and Gretchen Grimlock try to stick their tongues to their noses.

Pop quiz, hotshot

 
What awesome new features are coming to Poptropica very soon?

We’ll have the answer soon!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Well. It looks like we’ll be answering random questions. Wonder what they will be. In the meantime, please enjoy this short skit based on the above PCB post:
 
Gretchen: I- I almost got it!
 
Brave Tomato: Gretchen, it’s a little late to try.
 
Gretchen: Sheesh! If this is what I have to do to be on a blog, then I will do it!
 
*Gretchen looks at Bigfoot. He shows off succeeding.*
 
Gretchen: *scoffs* Show-off. Unless… hmm… *takes out a switch*
 
Brave Tomato: Umm…. what are you doing?
 
Gretchen: What do you think? *presses the button*
 
*A cage falls. However, it surrounds Gretchen*
 
Gretchen: What?! *keeps pressing the button* No! No! No! Not me!
 
Brave Tomato: We had a feeling you were going to try something if we put you and Bigfoot in the same room. So we switched the positioning of the cage.
 
Gretchen: *groans*
 
…
 
Well, BT out! I just added that skit to make this dull post a little more intriging.
