Hello! I'm Slanted Fish, the editor-in-chief and creator of the Poptropica Help Blog (PHB). I'm a writer, Hong Kong native, and Christ follower. My Poptropica username is slantedfish ๐ Don't forget to be awesome!
It’s August, Poptropicans! ๐ While we’ve started off the month with a bittersweet end for our Community Creations series, Poptropica continues to churn out some of its standard updates.
Like clockwork, Poptropica is kicking off the new month with a set of member gifts: a Monkey Fun Costume, Banana Follower, and Monkey Dance, which has your character bend and swing their arms. ๐๐
Yup, a couple of the inventory items are mislabeled.
Adventure Outfitters on Home Island also rotated its stock, bringing out “new” items including scooters and snacks for your clubhouse, and summer styles like the blended pastels and frog bucket hat. ๐ต๐ธ
Finally, check out some of the latest fan art featured on Poptropica’s Instagram stories last week โ including more Pop-inspired cosplay from clovermulo, whose other clips were nominated in this year’s Poppies awards. Speaking of which, don’t miss our Poppies recap! ๐ฉต
Even though it was hard getting out of Tiny Axeโs office, Anna still had to rescue her. Anna was a little nervous, though, because she didnโt know what Tiny Axe was like, and she didnโt know what the mysterious bandit might do to her.
ANNA: โI should bring some case files, you never know if the bandit is under cover.”
She grabs a new case file and writes: โThe mystery of the mysterious bandit.โ
ANNA: โNow I can go save Tiny Axe!โ
Anna hurriedly sprints to the elevator, and it goes down slloooowly.
ANNA: โI really should have just used the stairs!โ
The elevator lands and just as Anna steps out โ BOOM! The elevator bursts into pieces, waking the sleeping security guard who never wakes up.
Happy awards day, Poppie-tropicans! We’re ready to reveal the winners of the Poppies, our Poptropica fan awards. ๐โจ
