From the hit graphic novel comes the zaniest Poptropica adventure yet. Hop aboard the Neon Wiener for an intergalactic voyage with Cosmoe, Humphree, and Princess Dagger!
Hey everyone! As you may know,ย Galactic Hot Dogs Islandย was supposed to be released to members yesterday (Thursday, January 29th) but Poptropica said they had a browser problemย and pushed the release toย Friday, January 30th instead. Anyway, it’sย out for members now! There is aย demo for non-members as well.
In the meantime,ย check outย our Behind the Scenes Overview of Galactic Hot Dogs Island, and look forward to a review of GHD coming soon.ย ๐ It’s the first full islandย (meaning no episodes) since about a full year ago, so enjoy!
Hey everyone, and welcome back to our BTS Overview &ย Theory series! This time, weโll be coveringย Galactic Hot Dogs Island, written by myself (Spotted Dragon), Samwow5, and HPuterpop. Be sure to check out the last BTS post, which was for Arabian Nights, Episode 2: Lair of Thieves.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW (but thatโs what you want, isnโt it?)
Overview of evidence
Since there have been so many Daily Pop sneak peeks for GHD Island, we won’t list them all here, but we have listed some below. Be sure to check out our Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive page to see them all! Remember to click on the images to enlarge them.
Let’s start out with items. Below are all the items that will be used in the quest, or at least all that we could find. They include an egg, fuel cell, fruit, gelatin salad, giant spoon, guano, map-o-sphere, the island medal, and a seed pod. What most of these items will be used for, we aren’t entirely sure, but we might be able to piece everything together later on in the post. Pretty cool items, huh? Now let’s focus on scenes and dialog. Below we have includedย all the important scene designs for the island.
Again, pretty cool, huh? The designs are a perfect mix of Poptropica and Galactic Hot Dogs. ๐ We have the layout of the island down, but what about itsย storyline? Below we have put together all the important pieces ofย dialog and other text. Again, click to enlarge.
Judging by the text, we seem to start the island off in the Space Port, or at least start to meet the characters there. It also looks like we will help Cosmoe in aย food truck contest among other things. We also found a major piece of music that will be used throughout the adventure. Click here to hearย it! Before we wrap things up, since this island is based off something that is not Poptropica-related (Galactic Hot Dogs), there is of course going to be some sort of ad building for the franchise, like on Red Dragon Islandย (Magic Tree House),ย or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Those islands each have a building to promote the books. Below is an idea of what the GHD Store should have… in store for us.
Other than getting a glimpse at the GHD series, it seems like we will be able to customize the characters’ costumes too, since there will beย mannequins inside.
Final Theory
In Galactic Hot Dogs Island, we will meet Cosmoe and Humphree and try to help them win the food truck contest. Along the way, we’ll run into trouble and meet Princess Dagger. We will most likely have to go around the island trying to help them perfect their Mega Dog and perhaps somehow bring peaceย to the galaxy. In our travels aboard theย Neon Wiener spaceship, we’ll explore exotic planets, battle Jack-robots, and maybe even get toย enjoyย a hot dog. Maybe.
Remember, Galactic Hot Dogs Island is coming out Thursday, January 29 for members! It releases to everyone three weeks later, onย February 19. To infinity and beyond!
Hey Poptropicans!ย Poptropica Realmsย has been out for a while now, and the Creators have even posted a few of their favoritesย โย but if you want to learn moreย about what your magical hammer can do, how to level up, and more, check out the PHB’sย Realms Guide!
Ok, shameless guide promotion aside…
Despite the abandonment of the Daily Pop, there have been a lot of juicy sneak peeks over on Twitter this week. In addition to the Omegon poster Blake posted, they’ve also shared a couple ofย comic pages for the upcoming PoptropiCon finale – Ep. 3: Reign of Omegon.
On the first page, Elf Archer attacks the villain Omegon’s charged crystal, bringing him down from the sky. The second page introduces Alphaon, a character created with theย combined powers of the Mighty Action Force and possibly the kryptonite of Omegon.
Also, we finally have some release dates for P-Con! Ep. 3: Reign of Omegonย comes out February 5th for members, and Feb 26th (3 weeks later) for all.ย GHD Island comes out this Thursday for members!
Speaking of GHD Island, the Creators also tweeted this behind-the-scenes early sketch of a flying creature we’ll be encountering, with ‘baby’ and ‘proud mama’ poses added in for good measure. Plus, stay tuned for the PHB’s BTS Overview & Theory post for Galactic Hot Dogs Island, coming very soon!
Last but not least, Poptropica tweeted this cute little Popstorm sketch (#12) with the caption “Birds of a feather….”ย Aw, aren’t they pretty. ๐
That’s all for now, but be sure to catch up on the posts below for the latest Poptropica news! Stay awesome, Poptropicans. ๐
Hey Poptropicans! Galactic Hot Dogs Island is well on its way, and to give everyone a dose of amped-up energy, the trailer video has been released – check it out:
Well, Creators, you had me at noodly Poptropica arms. If nothing else, that shouldย get usย on board the Neon Wiener!ย Scheduled release dates could change, but right now, it looks like it’ll be departing January 29 for members and February 19 for non-members.
Plus, you can now print out and assemble your very own Neon Wiener spaceship paper craftย from the island extras section of the official Tour page!ย There’s even an item card in the Store for this.
Also, joining theย Poptropica makeoverย bandwagon, the Creators’ Blog header has been updated with the “poppy” Poptropica logo! RIP palm trees and curly vines, which are once again tossed aside in favor of puffy clouds and the iconic yellow blimp.
Lastly, remember when PHB reader Pixelwent on a mission to completeย Early Poptropica Islandย hundreds of times? Well,ย earlier this month,ย Pix reached the milestone ofย 1000 completionsย – and found that with 4-digit numbers, the last digit gets cut off. Anyway – congrats! ๐
That’s all for now – stay popping, Poptropicans. ๐
As of now, you can grab a couple of new Galactic Hot Dogs Island bonus items in the Store. The “F.R.E.D. Follower” is now available,ย free forย everyone. The arm sort of overlaps your character when you’re standing still, but it’s still a cool follower and makes me wonder if you’ll have F.R.E.D. as a follower in the actual island as well, considering he’s a helping robot in the comic.
The second item is a “Galactic Space Suit“, which is for members only. I do like the torso piece – it looks cool with theย red theme I’m rocking on my Poptropican at the moment.
Members can also print out a GHD poster with their character alongside Cosmoe, Humphree, and Princess Dagger by getting the printable poster in the Store.
Anyway, tell me in the comments what you think about the upcoming GHD Island. And ifย you wantย to get caught up on GHD-related stuff, check out the GHD post categoryย here on the PHB.
