To Max Steel and moms everywhere: it could get ‘harey’

Earlier this week, PHB author Angry Wing found “Max Steel” mysteriously listed in green at the top of his item inventory. This has now disappeared, though the new “Closet” (leading to one’s costume closet) above the [also new] dashed line is still here. Subtle indeed!

Last week on Poptropica, there was a video ad on Main Streets for Max Steel, a new Disney XD TV series. Watching the video awarded viewers with a costume and super power of Max McGrath’s tech alien, Steel. Sadly, I don’t have pictures, and all I could find of this ad was a blurry YouTube video.

What could this mean? Will there be more Max Steel in Poptropica’s future, or was this just a glitch? What if we get to keep all advertisement items in the future?! That would be awesome, especially considering the Creators disabled the Poptropica Ad Transporters a while back.

UPDATE: PHB commenter Abigail informs us that “Scholastic Summer” (a book-reading challenge) now takes the top spot in the items dropdown menu. Once again, clicking on it will tell you “You don’t have any items for this campaign yet. Explore Poptropica to see what you can find!”

This could mean that we’ll only get to keep our ad items until a new ad replaces the previous one, as commenter Fruitbat7777 speculates. Perhaps they’ll release this ad soon!

On a different note, the Creators blogged about this Dr. Hare fan art they received from Poptropican Cool Crown, complete with a Dr. Hare plush toy. Watch out… it could get “harey”!

Lastly, this Sunday (as are all other second Sundays of May) is Mother’s Day! The Creators have posted a lovely Tribute to the Moms of Poptropica on their blog (featuring the likes of CJ’s mom on Shrink Ray, Katya’s mom on Vampire’s Curse, and more).

But there’s another definition to “Poptropica moms,” and that’s all the mothers whose son or daughter is a Poptropica player! If that’s you reading this, happy Mother’s Day!

Whoa!!! I already made a post about this Max Steel thing! I didn’t see the video ad, but here’s the post:

I noticed that Max Steel thing too. Like you said, I think it shows that in the near future we will have a new tab for advertisement items, but, since the drop down menu for your items is already pretty big, they will probably only have one tab and once the advertisement is gone, so are the items.

Or there might be an upcoming tab that just says advertisements. That way we could keep all the ad stuff.

I hope it comes!

I don’t think I saw the Max Steel thing… I didn’t play Poptropica very much today anyway. I’m making my mom a paper flower for Mother’s Day tomorrow. 🙂

Hey guys,it’s almost midnight,in my country,the time is 10 to midnight 🙂

XD KEEP AD ITEMS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today on my Poptropica, I saw something that said “Scholastic Summer” in the dropdown menu. When I clicked on it, it said “You don’t have any items for this campaign yet. Explore Poptropica to see what you can find!” The campaign part makes me think this-so-called Scholastic Summer thing will be an ad? It also makes me think the option will be like what @fruitbat7777 said. If it said Max Steel then and Scholastic Summer now maybe it is to hold your advertisement items but only for that specific ad. I have pictures if you want to see them.
