Slanted Fish

I know, I know, Red Dragon Island was only just released to the public a day before this major announcement. But to cut the suspense short, here it is, the name of the next big (or was it shrunk to small?) island…

Shrink Ray Island!

If you try visiting its island page, you may have noticed that it has changed in format! Whereas there used to just be a graphic, there are now links to other island pages, merchandise, and membership. You know what else this means? Early Poptropica Island finally has its own description! My how Poptropica’s growing up. :,D

You can also find some sneak peek images above the island description, which by the way, reads this:

A young genius has invented a ray gun that shrinks anything it touches – including you! But when the scientist and her invention go missing, you’ll have to keep the shrink ray from falling into the wrong hands, and find a way to bring yourself back to normal size. To solve a problem this big, you’ve got to think small!

Sounds interesting! What do you think of Shrink Ray Island so far? 🙂

Just a reminder to all that it’s June 2nd, which means that Red Dragon Island should be released to the public sometime today! In the meantime, though, there’s a new ad, “Kickin’ It” – and no, it has nothing to do with the front seat; it’s the Disney XD series – it’s a challenge for kungfu fighters to see if they’ve got what it takes to join the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy!

Thanks to TheLoudShark for providing the walkthrough video! Your prizes at the end are a Kickin’ It trophy, uniform, and a secret move known as the Wasabi Kick!

Random question of the day:
Do you like wasabi?

Dr. Hare 2.0 and his minion

May 21, 2011May 21, 2011 Slanted Fish

If the mayor of 24 Carrot Island was upset about Dr. Hare’s mischief, well, things just got worse. Dr. Hare has posted the following on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog:

Dr. Hare returns to 24 Carrot Island!

Bad news gets worse for the mayor of 24 Carrot Island.

Wait a minute, I don’t remember this picture being taken. That’s not the real Dr. Hare at all. It’s an impostor!

What’s going on here?

DR. HARE

Wait, so now there’s TWO Dr. Hares?! Make that three… it looks like the impostor’s holding a Dr. Hare doll! But where did he get THAT?

Here’s the big scoop…

Poptropica TOYS are in the making!

Popular online toy store ToyWiz.com has a page up declaring that it is “your source for official Poptropica merchandise like toys, action figures, plush & redemption codes for online virtual items!” You can now pre-order goodies that will ship to you in June.
