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!
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, free for 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 the 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 if you want to get caught up on GHD-related stuff, check out the GHD post category here on the PHB.
In Between: We can fill this with our imaginations.
Deserted: Monument valley, this isn’t.
Mega: Coming soon to a desktop near you.
Second up, check out this awesome “bubble universe” sneak peek for Poptropica Realms!
Third up, the Creators tweeted this cool layout of all the train carriages on Mystery Train Island – a glimpse into a planning stage of the past. Pretty interesting! 😛
They also tweeted another PopStorm (#11) – this one is a bunch of little jumping jellybeans. Cute! :3
Lastly, PoptropiCon: Episode 2 (Spoiler Alert) is now available for iOS, and it’s free! The Creators tweeted this image along with it, which HP posted earlier as an unreleased carousel slide for the redesigned Poptropica layout, so although it’s not on the front page, it looks like it still served some purpose after all.
Yeah, I know. I haven’t posted since November. Yell at me all you want.
Anyway, remember how the official Poptropica Twitter page teased us with something called Poptropica Realms? Well, the kindly Creators over on the official blog, fresh from their winter hiatus, have just officially announced this updated version of Land – starting with a video trailer:
Although not revealing much new, the trailer looks like it would hype willing players (even non-members!) to take the challenge to see what they can do.
Also, there is an official tour page for Realms, which hasn’t changed much from the Lands page besides the new title and video. This is intriguing – and although it’ll be open to everyone, members do get bonus benefits according to the official description:
Everyone can create and explore Poptropica Realms, but only Poptropica Members can unlock its true power! With Membership, create even more new Realms, and share your creations with the Poptropica Creators. You’ll also get exclusive props and decorations to make your Realms truly unique.
We know we’ll get to create new worlds and planets to share with people, but I wonder what other new things Realms will give to the table that Lands didn’t already…

The Creators have released yet another Galactic Hot Dogs sponsored quest video on their official YouTube account, this one for a new ad that’s on Main Streets.
Thanks to Slippery Raptor for the pics & insight into the ad –
The exterior of the advertisement shows the Neon Wiener with a smoking large hole behind it. When you enter, a short clip will play, showing the Neon Wiener blasting off into space.
Inside, you can talk to Humphree on your right and F.R.E.D on your left. Moving along, there are a couple of dummies (Cosmoe and Humphree for boys; Princess Dagger and Evil Queen Dagger for girls) you can Costumize from. To your right, Princess Dagger and Cosmoe are guarding the Mega Dog. By clicking on the door to the right, you’ll shoot lasers with two Jacks, Cosmoe, and Princess Dagger.
Isn’t GHD Island supposed to come out some time this month? Hmm…

In other news, the first Arabian Nights episode, How Bazaar (“and robbed from afar!” Okay, I need to stop lyrical connections…) is now available for FREE on iOS devices!
(For Android users, “How Bazaar” has already been released.)

One more thing before I go – according to Poptropica’s tweet, this is “Early concept pencil art. For something. Something February-ish.”
Could it be the cover for the Poptropica comic graphic novel? Is that guy in the blimp… cutting the rope from the protagonists? Uh-oh…
Happy holidays from the PHB! It’s been a great year and being part of the PHB has been absolutely amazing. You guys really welcomed me and it’s just been really awesome. 😀
Well, it looks like a comic to promote an island, like the Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic comic series from before. For what island, I’m not sure. However, it does look a bit like the abandoned geological park idea that surfaced in the Daily Pop in July 2013, around the same time sneak peeks for the underground cave island showed up. Could they be related? Will this ever be a complete island?
Disguiser: You might recognize this incognito geological feature.
Rock of Ages: A very faithful bit of old geology.
Range Rovers: The park is in capable hands.
Mouth of Madness: Are you sure you want to step inside?
Pooled Resources: Value is in the eye of the beholder, of course.
Can You Canoe: Hang around a while and you may get a chance.
The Creators also shared this Poptropica Realms sneak peek (see below). The caption: “Just grabbed from a Poptropica Creator’s computer when she snuck out to do some shopping.”
I personally can’t wait for Poptropica Realms! 😛 In the meantime, members can still play with Poptropica Land – and if you need a guide, we’ve got one right here!
Skeletal: Looks like something you’d see on Tatooine.
Guano: Doesn’t it bug you when you step in this stuff?
Time to Crate: Thank Old Man Murray for the measurement.
Nest Egg: We were hoping for an empty nest.
Spiderland: Good morning captain.
Chair Force: That’s great, kid! Don’t get cocky.
Deserted: Monument valley, this isn’t.
In Between: We can fill this with our imaginations.
Between Two Ferns: Where’s the other one?
Hello: Is it me you’re looking for?
Run to the Border: You haven’t lived until you’ve had a street taco.
Hall of Heroes: Meet the stars of our trek.
Get Animated: Things are about to get expressionistic.
Mega: Coming soon to a desktop near you.
Eggscellent: You’re a shell of your former self.
Fly My Pretties: Pry open the third eye and fly.
Among the sneak peeks, it looks like we’ll be traversing strange lands including a desert landscape, mushroom kingdom, a place with galactic food stands (Main Street?), and more. It seems we’ll also be stealing an Egg from a big bird’s nest and encountering some interesting creatures.

Nestled among all the GHD pics is this sneak peek for the final installment of Arabian Nights Island, which features the spire with the telescope stand seen in Episode 1, but this time, night has fallen!
Bad Moon Rising: The days are hot but the nights are sizzling.
Finally, since the Creators will be taking a well-deserved break for the holidays, they’ve prepared a “Way Back Week” of peeks from December 26 to January 5, featuring throwback images from years ago. I especially like all the designs for E. Vile, the villain of the Legendary Swords mini-quest!
Way Back Week: Many versions of E.Vile for Legendary Swords.
Way Back Week: Bridging cultures on Red Dragon Island.
Way Back Week: Architectural plans for Ghost Story Island.
Way Back Week: Binary Bard’s dreams come to life on Super Villain Island.
Way Back Week: The robot revolution begins on Game Show Island.
Goats Beware: One more throwback. We’re back for real tomorrow.
Again, be sure to check out the PHB’s Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive (under the Cool Stuff tab) for a complete collection of Daily Pop images with their titles and captions, all the way from when they first began in November 2010 and updated monthly. Stay popping, Poptropicans! 😀
