Ice cream cat, how about that? 🍦🐈

Hey Poptropicans, are you ready for costumes galore?? 👗

The Pop Creators received tons fantastic entries for July’s monthly costume contest — enough to create a picture slideshow nine minutes long! Just take a look at the fandom’s creativity:

Picking a winning design was “an impossibly hard choice to make,” according to the Creators’ Blog, but in the end they went with the Ice Cream Cat by Silver Flame. 🍦🐈 As promised, the costume will soon be available for free through the returning Baron’s airship. Sweet!

While the video above contains loads more amazing costume ideas (and some copyrighted characters like Bendy, Baldi, Minecraft creepers, and more), I’d like to highlight a few of my personal favorites with a mini slideshow of my own. Which ones caught your eye, and did you have a creation featured? Share with us in the comments!

In other news, we’ve made it to the end of July, which means the login challenge has wrapped up! If you managed to log in to Pop every day for the past 10 days, a bonus 5,000 credits should have automatically been added to your account today. Cha-ching!

That’s all for now! Check back tomorrow for some more fanciful Community Creations. Stay awesome, Poptropicans. ✌️✨

First day fits and last day blitz ✨

Slanted Fish

Happy weekend, Poptropicans! We’ve got schooling vids, villain doodles, and more amusement from the realms of social media. Let’s pop right in!

As July winds down, the Pop Creators are already getting ready for back-to-school season with a new video about “First Day Fits: Poptropica Edition” shared on Instagram and TikTok. The featured look, which is narrated, includes “an appropriate pair of shorts,” a “cute school bag,” and plenty more pieces to help you create your most fashionable self!

And speaking of TikTok, looks like there’s been a couple more vids posted there since we last checked. In addition to the cool schoolgirl, we also have a narrated video about the Baron’s airship (also seen on IGTV without narration) as well as Cinder the punk rock princess. 🔥

Also on Instagram, the Pop Creators have been sharing more fan art on their story, as well as a fan post featuring Time Tangled Island, which recently became available to all again. Check them out:

Finally, if you’re reading this on Friday, today’s also the last day of the login challenge. If you managed to log in every day for the past 10 days, you’ll be eligible for the 5,000 credit craze bonus to be automatically added to your account this Saturday, July 31. We hear the Baron is on her way back, so save some of that dough for that spending spree! 🤑
