It looks like Night Watch Island will be (partly) featuring the theater theme we’ve been seeing in the Daily Pop! This new Daily Pop, showing a Chinese-style building that has somehow become a theater, is reminiscent of the purple-pink sky and palm trees we’ve seen of Night Watch Island.

“World Premiere – Don’t need to go far to travel anywhere.” PHB reader Small Bird tells us that this is based on Grauman’s Chinese Theater, a Hollywood movie theater in Los Angeles, California.

World premiere

Since we can tell from the background that it belongs to Night Watch, these other purple-skied peeks will probably also be seen on the upcoming island. Continue reading “It’s purple skies and palm trees here on Night Watch Island” →

Night Watch Island, Sneak Peeks

Just a mall cop, solving some mall crimes.

Of course when there is a new post on the Creator’s Blog, the first thing we try to do is get some new information about the newest island. Today we get a look at a new Night Watch sneak peak! There must be plenty of new information hidden in there somewhere, right?

Just hanging out at the mall

What’s your favorite thing to do at the mall? Hit up the food court? Shop? Watch all the other people?

My favorite thing to do at the mall is solve crimes, but that doesn’t come up too much.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

No, I have never solved crimes at the mall Captain Crawfish. Neither have most people, but anyway… This does give us a new look at part of Night Watch, but as far as new information goes, there is not a lot. We see that they are in a store with the initials ITN, most likely In The Now.

Also we see some shirts that are for sale, some of which have themes from previous islands, such as the shirts with Dr. Hare’s face, Reality T.V. Island’s logo, and Black Widow’s hourglass on them. How cool would it be if we could get one of those shirts, am I right? Not a lot of stuff that we don’t already know, but hey, we will take any preview that they will give us at this point, eh?

PHB Sneak Peeks: Never Shaken, Never Stirred

January 27, 2013February 12, 2013 Slanted Fish

While looking around, I stumbled upon a picture of these two unseen costumes – Stealth Agent (with super-epic night vision headgear) and Spy Agent (with toilet plunger gun). As it turns out, new Spy Island figures will soon be added to Poptropica’s lineup of 3-inch figurine toys, and come with these!

New Spy Items!

UPDATE: Reader Nicholas (Squeezy Wing) tells us that he messaged Poptropica about these toys and was told that it was buyable for a limited time, and now that the time is over, it can’t be bought again. Strangely, though, they’re still listed as “Coming soon”!

The page for these upcoming Spy Toys is already up, though not yet listed with the rest of the Poptropica toys. Like the other 3″ toys, they’ll probably be sold as an island pack together and only have one actual set of arms and legs (the other is just clothing you can switch on it to customize).

Here’s the official description and picture of the toys:

Spy Island’s top operatives are ready for their next assignment! Disappear into the shadows with the undetectable Stealth Agent, or take center stage with the unflappable Spy Agent. Coming soon!

Spy toys

I have to say, though, the Stealth Agent toy is rather lacking compared to its ultra-awesome-looking online code-redeeming counterpart. 😛 What do you think of these toys? How about the costumes?

Side note: James Bond likes his martinis shaken, not stirred.

Poptropolis Games Island

Poptropolis Games… gone forever?

January 25, 2013January 26, 2013 Shaggy Tornado

A moment of silence for Poptropolis Games…

My fellow Poptropicans, it is on this day that the beloved Poptropolis Games have sunk into the sea. May it rest in peace. I have a statement from the Creators here telling us about their grievances over this island “death.”

Right up until the last minute, we hoped it was a rumor. But it happened — the Poptropolis Games have returned to the seas from whence they came.

Will the Poptropolis Games ever come back to the surface? Let’s hope so!

Here lies the grave of Poptropolis. But wait! There’s a message that was left for us!

Legend

“Legend tells of a mysterious Island upon which Poptropica’s greatest athletes compete for tribal supremacy. Will the Poptropolis Games ever rise again?”

And this little notice on the Poptropolis Games Island Tour page:

Sunk

There may be hope yet that it isn’t dead! Why? On the members cards, it says Poptropolis 2012. This may not be the only year that they rise. Also, as Slanted Fish said, it could follow the time of the Olympics and other ideas sugest that Poptropica Time is faster than ours. And even more shocking news!

The Games Forever and myself have access to the island because we saved our characters. IF you happened to save yours on the Island, there’s STILL TIME for your medal to be won!

Any last words for Poptropolis Island? Leave them in the comments!

With a last tearful goodbye for the Poptropolis Games,

Poptropolis Games Island

Odds are not in favor of Poptropolis Games Island

January 23, 2013January 24, 2013 Slanted Fish

January 24th is fast approaching, and you know what this means: Poptropolis Games Island will be sinking back into the sea. We don’t know why the Creators would take down the tribal tournament island, or if/when we’ll ever see it again… even the Plant-a-Statue isn’t too happy about the news.

The island’s description says that this ancient Poptropica capital rises “once every 100 years”… but what does that mean? If we’re to take that literally, we’d all be old or dead in a century. Some might think Poptropica years operate faster than Earth’s, but then what about the annually-updated time device on Time Tangled that reflects the current year here?

You may have noticed your Poptropolis item cards saying “Poptropolis Games 2012” at the top. Another theory is that perhaps the island will rise during Olympic years – after all, Poptropolis Games opened around the same time as the 2012 London Olympic Games, so maybe we’ll see the island again for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
