Hey there, Poptropicans!

It’s Happy Lobster here, and there’s been a new post over at the Creators’ Blog – this time about our Poptropican’s Popsonas: our Poptropican’s very own persona, including backstory, personality, like and dislikes, and other small aspects that make each individual character unique!

Skinny Moon featured some of these Popsonas in the post, made by fellow Poptropicans, posted over on social media.

“Funny Icicle is a super villain! Her name is Black Widow 2.0. She is a clone of Black Widow that was cloned at Super Villain Island, but Zeus (Professor Jupiter) upgraded it — he made a better version of Black Widow. Black Widow 2.0’s favorite island is Counterfeit Island. She wants to avenge Black Widow. She likes to steal and she likes art and fashion. She doesn’t like heroes and having friends.”

“She had a rough life… by the time she was 12 she and her father moved away to Paris, where her father grew up with her grandfather. This is also the time she met Mademoiselle Moreau, who was one of her only friends during that time. When she was 16, Fearless Shell and her family moved to San Francisco, where she developed a crush on Ned Noodlehead — she is the only one who can ignore his flaws. By the time she was 24, she was taking care of two orphaned children, Super Goose and Little Pear.”

“Purple Tiger is a dragon / unicorn / Poptropican hybrid who loves Star Link and Soupwords. She fights evil monsters in her downtime and loves to roller skate on top of clouds.”

Additionally, Skinny Moon included an amazing Popsona reference sheet about her character, using her new Worlds avatar!

So, what’s your unique Popsona? Well, unlike a couple of the Popsonas featured here, there’s no need to draw them – all you have to do is go the Poptropica Avatar Studio and type up your Popsona alongside your avatar’s picture!

Make sure to use the hashtag #MyPopsona when posting it – whether it be on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or other social media platforms – so that the Creators can see your very own inimitable Popsona!

In other news, there’s a new ad awaiting you over on Home Island for the upcoming Pirates of a Caribbean movie! Your trusty yellow blimp will have received a full PotC makeover, and in Amelia Earhart’s usual place will be a new Poptropican dressed in a conventional pirate costume. (Thanks to Bendy Flyer for the pic!)

You may also notice an aesthetic change to the Map which is now textured like an old treasure map as another promotion for the movie. (Thanks to Jacob_Da_Boss for the pic!)

Watch the video trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and you’ll receive a Pirate Transformation card. You can Costumize from it, plus press space bar to turn everyone into a pirate!

Alright, guys, that’s all that’s new for now. See you soon, and stay popping!

Lucky, Beastly, Super, Snappy

March 17, 2017May 12, 2017 LJ

Hello, everybody!

Lucky Joker here, and it’s looking like a lucky day for Poptropicans! March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day, and in honor of the holiday, Poptropica is re-releasing the Leprechaun follower and costume. You can get them free from the Store.

When you’re wearing the costume, you can activate a cool power – the Irish jig – with the hit of the spacebar.

Speaking of fun costumes, there’s yet another ad for Beauty and the Beast on Home Island in celebration of the live-action movie’s release. Check out the trailer video, and you’ll be given a Beast Transformation (for boys) or a Belle Transformation (for girls). These are both costumes with customizable parts.

Over on the Creators’ Blog, a fan illustration of Ned Noodlehead as James Bond, by @SimplyArtByAlly on Twitter, is featured in a recent post. Pretty snazzy for a nerd!

In the post, they gave a shout-out to the fact that Super Power Island is one of March’s Islands of the Month (and now playable for extra credits, along with Galactic Hot Dogs) and that it’s certainly a quirky piece, but could they be featuring more #PoptropicaArt in the future? We’ll have to wait and see.

Finally, Skinny Moon (who runs all of Poptropica’s social media) has once again posted stories on Poptropica’s Snapchat/Instagram in the past couple of days.

Featured below are Toby (the Poptropica pup we all know and love), GHD drawings hanging in Skinny Moon’s office, and SM reading up on Snapchat while on Snapchat. Not pictured, but also featured a couple days ago, was a video snap of the blizzard outside SM’s window in Boston.

Check out the screenshots below (click any of the images to make them larger):

Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for reading, I’ll talk to you soon. Pop on!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

A hair-raising multiversial throwback

February 25, 2017March 6, 2017 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and I got a quick little post for you guys today!

First of all, there’s a new advertisement game showing up on Home Island – this time it’s for Tangled the Series, a new Disney Channel show coming next month!

Once you go inside, talk with Cassandra, the woman with the short black hair and she asks you to find Rapunzel and the items she dropped along the way before time runs out.

A good tip for this minigame is to follow the golden hair for the first three items and then continue looking on the upper level for the items!

For your troubles, you are rewarded with a Pascal Follower and a selection of three Braids!

In other news, longtime Poptropicans may remember when the Multiverse card was introduced to the store, and thus gave players the ability to see each other in a common room more easily! Multiverses are an important part of the Poptropica Help Blog lifestyle – multiple multiverse parties were part of the blog’s history, after all!

In the newest Creators’ Blog post, Skinny Moon takes us down memory lane with a new how-to video posted on the Creators’ YouTube channel, showing us how to use the Multiverse feature. Here’s the video (you may already know how to use the ‘verse, but just in case you don’t, this should help):

As we continue turning the clock, we end up in 2015, since Skinny Moon showed off a picture from her first visit to the Multiverse with community members – a picture from the PHB at that!

impromptu multiverse

Also, the blog went way back to the year 2009, when the multiverse first released, showing off an old video where multiple Creators joined together on a multiverse to goof around with the new-at-the-time Flower Power card!

Thanks to the Multiverses, we all (well, only some at a time) can meet up in a common room, answer questions, play games, and hope the game doesn’t lag with all the special effects unleashed upon it!

The best place to see whether a Multiverse party going on (or to start your own) is on the Poptropica Help Chat, where you can talk with players at the same time. The PHB staff and plenty of other Poptropicans like to hang out there, and we hope to see you too!

Until next time, BT out!

A peek into the beastly Pelican Rock

February 20, 2017March 6, 2017 LJ

Hello, everyone!

Lucky Joker here sharing some cool schematics and animations of one February’s Islands of the Month, Escape from Pelican Rock, that came from the Creators’ Blog earlier today.

This post contains minor spoilers about the plot and characters. If you’d rather not see the behind the scenes material, I suggest you scroll past. Now onto the good stuff!

Just in case you don’t know, a schematic is usually a simple drawing or diagram showing and explaining how a game will be played.

As for EFPR, the creators gave us two bits of the schematic for our viewing because, of course, they don’t want to spoil everything for those who haven’t played the island yet. Anyway, check it out! (For the best quality images, see the post on the Creators’ Blog.)

As you can see, the island was originally referred to as Prison Break Island. There’s a lot of detail for events that are triggered, and it’s even confirmed in the notes that the coastal city is modeled after San Francisco, as we’ve suspected.

Once the schematic has been altered and finalized, the designing can commence! Take a look at these images one of the artists illustrated of the escape scene at the end:

After the designing process, animations are done to bring the island to life!

Check out one of the animator’s concepts of a flood light searching for any hopeful escapees.

Awesome, right? Well, that’s all of the behind the scenes looks for now. Hopefully, we’ll get more soon!

Remember: For this month only, first-time finishers of both, Escape from Pelican Rock and Reality TV Island, will receive 500 credits and those who are replaying them will earn 300 credits. (If you need some assistance on EFPR, check out the PHB’s walkthrough!)

In other news, there’s an ad for Beauty and the Beast on Home Island. Check out the trailer video, and you’ll be given a Lumiere Follower. Once used, pressing the spacebar will activate a cool glow effect that illuminates a yellow circle around you while keeping everything else dark.

Bats up, Poptropicans? 🦇🦇

There’s a new mini-game ad on Home Island, celebrating the upcoming LEGO Batman Movie, in theaters starting February 10, 2017. (Thanks to Purple Claw for the images and video below!)

Upon entering, speak to the police officer to your right, and she’ll give you the mission: catch The Joker! You’ll need to dodge The Joker’s balloons, and if you don’t want to wing it, check out this video:
