Shrink Ray Island’s Tiny Map

June 28, 2011June 28, 2011 Shaggy Tornado

In today’s small post, the Creators revealed the small map for the next new island, Shrink Ray, which is open this Thursday!

Shrink Ray Island map revealed!

Shrink Ray Island is coming this Thursday, June 30. Here’s your first look at the Shrink Ray Island map.

You’ll explore much of Shrink Ray Island as a teeny tiny Poptropican. Good thing we didn’t shrink the map, too!

Looks interesting! One of those looks like it connects to the science fair place, and the other I guess connects to the lab?

There’s even a countdown timer on the front page of Poptropica so you’ll know all the way down to which SECOND that Shrink Ray Island is released! (Smart move – now people won’t get confused about the very exact time of release!) The image to the right shows what it looks like.

Anyways, I can’t wait for the new island! 😀 Hope you all have fun out there being small, and possibly getting stomped on! XD

Bonus Items

The 20 rarest items continued

My first official post back!! Yay!!! 🙂 Lol anyways, the Creators continue their 20 rarest items list with # 12,11,10, and 9! Check it out below!

The 20 rarest items in Poptropica, part 3

We’re continuing our countdown of the 20 rarest Poptropica items.

12. Mech Pilot

For a limited time, Poptropica Members were given this Mech Pilot costume. Anyone can freely costume similar costume parts on Poptropica, but this specific costume is a rare one indeed.

11. Skullduggery Pirate

The Skullduggery Pirate was part of a special two-pack given to Members shortly before the debut of Skullduggery Island. Be on the lookout for two more Skullduggery-themed costumes, Captain Crimson and Captain Cobalt, when you get the Skullduggery Island 3″ figures. Speaking of Skullduggery Island…

10. Skullduggery Medallion

Another challenging Island, Skullduggery has seen fewer completions than most of the other Poptropica adventures. It’s not too hard, though — just keep working your way clockwise from one trading post to the next, and in no time you’ll have enough doubloons to buy the Phoenix Warbird!

9. Paper Kid

To celebrate the release of our Diary of a Wimpy Kid-themed Island, Wimpy Wonderland, all Poptropica Members got the “Paper Kid” costume. Unlike most costume cards, this one doubled as a special power. You can paperize anyone else you see, too!

To be continued tomorrow!

Also, while looking at this post, I saw something cool! On the sidebar, they featured The Official Guide (Poptropica)!! Looks like it’s going to be the new thing they are selling. The Official Guide (Poptropica) is a book that is going to be sold for $8.90 on Amazon! The Product description says:

Poptropica is the ultimate online destination for kids ages 6 to 14. It’s a fun and entertaining place where kids from all over the world can come together and create their own unique avatars (online identities), explore a vast array of islands, engage in stories, and compete in head-to-head competitions. This 192-page official guidebook offers fans of Poptropica a detailed walkthrough of the website along with background on the “game islands” and characters as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes content. This book features sections on all the popular Poptropica islands, including ones based on Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Peanuts’ It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and comes with a full-color poster.

The guide will be released on October 13, 2011 (Hey look my birthday XD). So will you guys be buying this guide? Well, have to go! Bye!! 😀

Cryptids Island, Sneak Peeks

Get me out of this cavern or I’ll cave in!

October 28, 2010October 28, 2010 Shaggy Tornado

What’s your opinion of caves? Creepy? Scary? Beautiful? If you think caves are creepy or scary, then you better stay away from this one! Captain Crawfish gives us the details on this

Cave story !!

Take a look at this creepy cave entrance. What do you suppose lives in there?

Dare you to go in first!

No, I DARE YOU Cptn. Crawfish! I DARE YOU! XD Incidentally, when I saw this post, I immediately thought of the title, and the song was playing on the stereo. 😛 Coincidence?

Also, rumors are swirling around that the Creators’ have been posting about Cryptids Island on the homepage again, but it always disappears. In the comments of CW’s post, people are saying that they saw Cryptids Island logo on the homepage at about 9:00. If you can stay up late, try to spot that logo! Good luck!

~Walks off to do homework and gets attacked by bats flying out of the cave~

*SCREAM*

~Walks out unharmed~ JK! 😀

Let’s fly let’s fly away….

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
