Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and I’m an 20-year old girl from New Jersey. I'm a former PHB author, and I'm also a fan artist, fanfiction writer, occasional theorist, Youtuber, and an all around superfan nerd for Poptropica. My username is 1313cookie if you'd like to friend me.

Lights, Camera, NIGHT WATCH!

Hey guys, BT here. First of all, the mall cop adventure, Night Watch Island, is now available to the public! If you’re having a hard time coping with Eddie the coral snake and a burglar on the loose, check out our Night Watch Island guide here.

Secondly, the island Poptropica Creator Black Widow (accidentally?) slipped is now officially announced with an info page and a trailer! The PHB’s Back Lot Island page is now up too! 😀

First of all, here’s the trailer that makes you really feel like you’re watching a cartoon:

And people say that making a movie isn’t all fun and games. And here’s what the info page says:

The greatest filmmaker of all time has come out of hiding, and he needs your help to make his masterpiece. But will you be producing the next big blockbuster, or is there trouble in tinseltown? From the first frame to the final cut, it’s lights, camera, action!

So… we’re making a movie? Hmm… I wonder what it would be? Now, here’s the Bonus Quest information, which brings some distressing news for our poor Poptropican characters:

The back lot’s owners have returned– and they want you off their property! Can you outrun studio security and get away with a valuable souvenir? Find out how to get membership now!

Oh great. -_- . But why would our Poptropicans, usually selfless, want to steal bring along some sort of souvenir?

Now, here’s the desktop wallpaper:

So is that the famed filmmaker the main island description was talking about? Sheesh, he’s a stern-looking fellow.

And here’s the printable poster:

I see an award winner (who looks like Audrey Hepburn), old fashioned comedy, diva, some Elvis Presley looking guy, a director with a clapboard, some King Kong style thing, the director guy, a female pilot, a Wild West style thing (wait, is that Elmer?), a Gollum look-a-like (from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies), and The Hobo guy (A spoof on The Hobbit) on a Hollywood style background. Hmm…

And here’s the Member’s Only Gold Cards:

So what do you think of this upcoming Back Lot Island?

BT out!

It disappeared as quickly as it came. (Back Lot Island!)

If you’d go to the Creator’s Blog right now, you’d see a post that looks like this:

Picture yourself on Poptropica

When you travel somewhere, the best way to remember your trip is by taking photos. The same is true when you journey into Poptropica.

Ever since we launched the Photo Album feature last year as part of Poptropica Friends, we’ve been adding four new photos to every Island. At this point, there are 133 unique photos that you can collect, simply by playing through each Island!

But Poptropica photos are even better than the ones you take on vacation, because you can actually costumize off of what you were wearing in each one. The same is true when you look through your friends’ photo albums!

If you haven’t opened your photo album for awhile, take look — you might be surprised at what you find.

However… that wasn’t the post it was at first.

*cue DUN DUN DUNNN*

When this was first posted, it was talking about something else… here’s what it said:

Sneaky. Very Sneaky.

“What’s the next Island going to be?” That’s the question we hear over and over when we talk to our fans. Well, if you want a hint as to what we’re working on next, the best thing to do is visit Sneak Peeks in the Daily Pop!

In Sneak Peeks, we post concept art and other work in development for unannounced Islands. If you’d been checking Sneak Peeks through January and February and seen images like the one posted above, you probably would have surmised that we were working on a movie-themed Island… long before we announced Back Lot Island!

Sneak Peeks is updated five days a week. All you need to do to check it out is to visit Poptropica and click on the “Daily Pop” icon to see the latest.

We’re usually working on more than one Island at a time. Can you guess what we might be working on next?

If you peruse that post a little bit, you’ll see this set of words: Back Lot Island.  I tested to see if the Creators bought that domain name and sure enough….

They did. So I guess we have our island name now! You think you could let that one disappear like you did with Cryptids Island, didn’t ya? Well, you were caught. 😛

Night Watch Island

Night Watch Island is out for members!

** The PHB’s NIGHT WATCH ISLAND GUIDE (written walkthrough) is now up and has pictures! **
Thanks Samwow5 and Skyboy303! ~slanted fish

Hey guys, yeah, you read the title right. Night Watch Island is now available for Poptropica members! It’s available to everyone on March 14 (Pi Day!) but there’s a demo if you’re not a member. Well… it seems like the Creators surprised us with this one, huh, peeps? Well, let’s go check it out!

Segways are useless. ._.

Let’s go see if we have larger-than-s’mall problems going on in the Twin Palms Mall!

…yeah. I know. That was really bad.

Hey guys, BT here with an update on the Poptropica Lego Cuusoo campaign: right now, we just reached the milestone of over 1,000 supporters! *squee!*

Now, before that milestone was reached, Dr. Hare posting an update on how we may not be brainwashed after all.

You have done well, my minions. Since we announced our LEGO CUUSOO project last week, many of you have done your part to help us reach the promised land of 10,000 supporters. There’s a long way to go, but as I write this post, we are just a few votes shy of our first major milestone: 1,000 supporters!

Can you help our project reach 1,000 supporters? Visit our LEGO CUUSOO project page now to cast your vote! Make this happen, and I might reconsider my plans to enslave you all.

(Remember, if you’re not 13 years old or older, you’ll need a parent to sign in on the CUUSOO page in order to support the project.)

A cool thing I noticed in the comments was that one of the staff members of Lego Cuusoo commented!

Things seem to be looking up, but we’re still 9,000 votes shy of our goal… show some appreciation, peeps! If you can’t vote, you can cheer from the sidelines as well! ;) Make sure Dr. Hare doesn’t enslave us like he enjoys trying to do…

BT out!

Yup, that’s Dr. Hare’s new Creators’ Blog avatar! And the PCB has a new icon for their sidebar asking you to vote for their LEGO CUUSOO project. Supporting LEGO Poptropica means supporting LEGO carrots! 😀

On an unrelated note, Loud Feather got his loud voice heard when his letter was featured on the PCB. Go and check out his ode to Poptropica, titled A Lament to the 32 Islands!

Night Watch Island, Sneak Peeks

Snakes, Malls, Burglary, and Segways

Hey guys, BT here. The trailer for the new Night Watch Island has been released!

It’s pretty cool. There’s the animation style thing we saw in other island trailers such as Lunar Colony and Poptropolis Games. There’s a humorous moment in the island trailer involving a guy on a Segway. There’s a snake (?) that appeared all over the place during the trailer. And there’s a random ski-mask burglar towards the end who the snake goes up to. Hmm… what do you guys think?
