Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee dee, if you are wise you’ll listen to me

Wow, the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island sure snuck up on us quickly! Who’s ready to explore the factory? Samwow5 (Tough Icicle) was right on the top of his game and quickly had the walkthrough all written, with pictures included. If you’re stuck in a chocolate tube, you can use it for a little island help.

If you prefer, we’ve got a video playlist for CatCF as well. Members can play the whole island now, and non-members get a demo, but it’s out for everyone on December 6th. Sweet as Wonka’s whipple-scrumptious fudgemallow delight! 😀

Also, the third and final costume on the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Multi-Prize Card has been unlocked! Aaand… it’s a paper clock tower costume. What?

Thanks to Samwow5 for the picture. If you didn’t get it yet, the promo code (which you enter on the Poptropica Store’s top-right corner) is wimpy2012.

And now, there’s a new line of toys for your collection: the Poptropica Pocketeers! Say hello to Dark Astro-Knight, Hamburger, Dr. Hare, or Lion. These 2-inch buddies can be bought at Toys R Us and come with a code that will give you an exclusive prize on Poptropica, just like all the other Poptropica toys.

Get one for your birthday! I just turned 16 on Thursday (November 15th), thus making me over the 6-15 range for Poptropica accounts. Am I getting old or what? 😛

Willy Gold Cards

Today, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory members golden tickets, erm, golden cards have arrived in the Poptropica Store- the Everlasting Gobstopper, the Oompa-Loompa power, and the Oompa-Loompa costume! 😀

Just seeing the gold makes me anxious… anyways, here’s a look at what the items do…

The Everlasting Gobstopper is a power similar to the bubble gum- your Poptropican’s mouth does the same chewing motion, and every once in a while, a random fruit will appear over your head, probably indicating the flavor of the gobstopper you are currently on. There’s watermelon, lemon, blueberry, and cherry

Moving right along, there’s the Oompa-Loompa Power. If you click on it, a little Oompa-Loompa will come to you and give you a peppermint candy to hold! Perfect for confidence and energy boosts!

Finally, my personal candy slave giver! And speaking of those Oompa-Loompas, you can dress up as one, too!

This is the male version:

And this is the female version:

If you’re planning to get the Oompa-Loompa costume, don’t procrastinate! It’s only available from now until the island comes out to the public!

As usual, the release of these golden tickets…er… gold cards (Why do I keep saying that???) hint to us that the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island release day is not too far away!

Are you ready to feed your imagination?

BT out!

Paper King and Queen, DS Game Walkthrough available on the PHB, and new books out… sucker!

The second costume of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Multi-Prize Card has been unlocked! If you haven’t already, enter the promo code wimpy2012 on Poptropica to get the new paper king costume for boys, and queen for girls.

Thanks to Michelle and Samwow5 for the heads-up. If you already unlocked this promo code for the first costume, you can find the item card in your Store inventory. Just click on the now-unlocked “2” to customize from the new costume! Perhaps it’s for the Valentine’s Dance in the new book, The Third Wheel.

Poptropica’s been busy expanding their franchise, and earlier this week, they released their first Nintendo DS game, Poptropica Adventures! Here’s a shout-out to our friend Blake for writing the PHB’s walkthrough on the game, which can be found here under the Island Help page’s MiniQuests section.

On Thursday, Poptropica released four new books, which you can learn about on their official Books page. There’s Skullduggery Island and Astro-Knights Island, novels written about the islands’ plot. Pencil Warrior is a full-color doodle book, and Poptropica Mad Libs should be pretty self-explanatory if you’ve encountered Mad Libs before – fill in blanks to create nonsensical yet funny stories!

Oh and, don’t be offended by the “sucker” in the title… it’s not you! Just wanted to share a quick joke from PHB reader Daniel. Here it is.

Haha, hope that made you smile! Have a great weekend! 😀
