The Return of…FRENCH ISLAND?!

Yes, I do realize I’ve been making all the posts of late. xD *cough* 😀

Anyway, the Creators have a new blogeh posteh! And it’s about time too, since we haven’t gotten any news on islands in forever. The blog post is titled “Return of Comic Kid, and New Island?” WHY SO MYSTERIOUS CREATORS?

The post itself:

Return of Comic Kid, and New Island?

Well, I’m finally back after a long trip of searching out new islands in Poptropica. I even had time to grab some hot chocolate along the way.

COMIC KID

Interesting indeed. What island do you think this’ll be? For some reason, I think it’s French Island. Maybe it’ll just be plain “Music Island” LOL. 🙂 A member of the PHF even suggested that it’s another part of Reality TV island, however I don’t see how it would fit in. :/

The cut-off stage background says “Jazz Cafe”. As some of you might have noticed, the microphone and stool look as if they’re from Spy Island (in the Hair Club) although the one at the Hair Club is blue.

Another new update is the new addition to the “Buy Poptropica Credits” page. It now allows you to buy credits from your mobile phone! (Credit to Deathstalker of the PHF!)


Personally, I think this feature is useless – who’s going to buy credits from their phone? I just don’t see the point.

And so I end this post with 2 questions for you PHB readers (please answer them in your comments!):

  1. What island do you think the Creators are referring to? French Island maybe?
  2. Have you ever brought credits, plan to, or probably never will?

Until next time,
Coderkid

Refreshing Drinks and Disney Dogs!

Ahh… that sure was a nice cup of water.

Yes, water = food = French-like Island sneak peek! Thanks, Funny Penguin, for the news! Anyway, Comic Kid, one of the Poptropica Creators, posted this today:

Blog Post Title: Time for a Drink
Description: On my long travels I get pretty thirsty. Luckily I found some punch and water from these coolers on the side of the road. Delicious!

Also, there’s a new advertisement building on 24 Carrot, Super Power, and Spy Island, called “Disney Space Buddies Dog Park”! Thanks, Shiny Leaf, for telling us about the new ad, and Director Lion (Gentle Lion) for informing us on the locations! It’s so famous there’s even a post about it on the Creators’ Blog – and it’s rare that they actually talk about the advertisements! I think that maybe Disney, the company being advertised for their Space Buddies movie, paid extra money to have their ad building advertised on the Creators’ Blog too (it’s just a guess though). You can read their post here: http://blog.poptropica.com/2009/02/where-no-poptropican-has-gone-before.html

Here’s a cut-and-paste image I took of the outside part of the plane-shaped advertisement (yes, it may be a little uneven): 😛

disneyspacebuddies-ad

Inside it, you can do a mission. Walk into the room behind the man in the space suit, and click on the green button next to the space helmet. The doors to the room will close, but the door on the ceiling opens up, letting you fly through space! Fly up there!disneyspacebuddiessuit

Your task is to find the 5 missing space dogs around outer space (actually, the black area around the ad building). If you find one, all you have to do it touch it (or crash it) to transport it back to the building. The bad news is, there is a limit of time – “oxygen” – you have to find all five space dogs. The good news is, there is no limit on how many times you can try the mission in case you don’t succeed the first time. The bad news is, there are a couple meteors out in space that, if you crash into, will “WHACK” you like the criminals of Super Power Island. Good luck!

Oh, and there’s prizes too (yay, more good stuff!). But the bad news (again) is that it’s for a limited time only, which means it’s only temporary. Anyway, here they are:

  • Disney: Space Buddies Space Suit (see the figure on the right)
    An awesome white space suit (it doesn’t have any special effects, though).
  • Disney: Space Buddies Firecracker
    When you use it (by pressing the “Use” button on its item card), a firecracker will fly around the screen, then at the end, shows the “Disney Space Buddies” logo.

By the way, we are apparently still having a problem controlling what we say when it comes to new posts on the Creators’ Blog. Yep, you know what I mean – and this notice, now appearing for the 5th time, will tell you if you don’t get it!

Special Note: It is not a race to be the first to tell everyone about a new post on the Creators’ Blog. We’ve had many comments saying the same thing (”New post on Creators’ Blog!!!!”) and it is very annoying. If someone has already mentioned it, don’t bother to say it again – it’s not necessary. If people continue to spam and repeat the same thing over an over again, it will show us that you cannot handle this and we will stop giving out credits. Please comment appropriately. Thanks!

A truck pays a visit…

Yay – it’s the grapes again! Must be a sneak peek of the food-loving French-themed island. Thanks to Mitchell Brett for the update! In this picture we have a grape field very similar to this other sneak peek, but this time a mysterious truck seems to be driving by. Anyway, here it is:

Blog Post Title: Getting Around
Description: Look both ways before crossing the road on this island!
Image URL: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q9BePaDQLzI/SXipfSwh8tI/AAAAAAAAACU/fWTMsxLM3p4/s1600-h/foreign_truck.jpg
Image Name: foreign_truck.jpg

Based on the information given, the Creators seem to be hinting at a lot (or they’re just random titles). The blog post title seems to say that we might use this truck as a means of transportation. The description hints that there may be some dangers on the road, and the image name points out that the truck shown in the picture is not French, but possibly from somewhere else (foreign). Or this is just a false alarm… but either way, we’ve got some new mysteries about this awesome island coming soon! 😀

Want a bear hat, or meet someone named Nice Bubbles? Check that all out in the post below. Or if you’d like another island sneak peek, why not visit this Big Nate seagull? 😛

Counterfeit Island, Sneak Peeks

Turned to Stone

Another sneak peek from the Creators, thanks to Mitchell Brett for the update! We’re not sure which island it’s showing this time, Codien believes its another sneak peak of the French themed island – but whatever it is, it looks pretty cool. There’s a stone building with some statues of Poptropicans lined along the sides of the windows. Before we get into too much detail, here’s the picture:

Possibly the French-themed island, as Codien thinks, but we’re not sure for now. Comment about what you think! 🙂

By the way, we’re still having the same problem at PHB about commenting, so for the 3rd time, here’s the important notice you must keep in mind:

Special Note: It is not a race to be the first to tell everyone about a new post on the Creators’ Blog.

Also, remember to read up on the post below if you haven’t done so already. Be prepared, a Poptropica Creator could play against you next! 😀

Another French Peek

From the Grapevine

Poptropica creators have released yet another French themed sneak peek. Thanks for the early notification, Zany Moon! All signs point to a new island, or a very large grape. The picture seems to be some kind of grape plantation. My guess is this ‘French’ island has something to do with food.
