LEGO Poptropica, Wallpapers

Little Evil Genius – Dr Hare Wallpaper

Dr. Hare’s LEGO CUUSOO project has reached 6,000+ supporters, and as promised, the Creators have released a brand-new Dr. Hare drone-head, carrot-laden wallpaper for you to deck out your desktop!

The little evil genius in the pink rabbit suit welcomes you in green or blue backgrounds for multiple devices and screen sizes. If you want this green-goggled face greeting you when you look at your screen, download it for the device you want it on:

Now we’re only ~4,000 supporters away from the goal of the big ten thousand! So if you haven’t already, and you’re over 13 (or know someone old enough to represent your vote) – you know what I’m going to say next – vote for Dr. Hare’s Lair on LEGO CUUSOO to make it a reality!

DrHare5000 Promo Code: Dr. Hare’s Deluxe Balloons

Dr. Hare Deluxe BalloonsDr. Hare’s been hyping about this for long enough… and it’s paid off because the halfway goal of 5,000 supporters for Poptropica’s LEGO CUUSOO project has finally been achieved!

As promised, the balloons are here – just enter the promo code DRHARE5000 when you log in or visit the Store to receive the Dr. Hare Deluxe Balloons, featuring Evil Chubby Bunny With Bucktooth and Evil Bunny Drone Face Insignia.

Now now, our favorite evil bunny has made it very clear that it would be extremely shameful if those not worthy of this glorious inflatable prize dared to claim it, so for the sake of good ethics, if you HAVEN’T voted yet and you want these balloons, go support it now. If you’re under 13, get an adult to vote for you. I mean, you COULD just skip this step and get the balloons, but… for shame, for shame. *shakes head slowly*

The LEGO CUUSOO Team also posted this comment on the project idea page:

Hi PopCreators,

Congratulations on passing the halfway point on LEGO CUUSOO with your Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair project! Your project and concept models are focused and well-built. It’s not hard to imagine this as an official LEGO product. All in all, great presentation.

Best wishes as you reach for 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO.

Yay! Halfway there!

In other news, Poptropica’s Official Tips & Tricks App now has a walkthrough guide for Night Watch. However, this being a site that is partially based on creating Poptropica walkthroughs, it has to be said that the PHB has a Night Watch Island Guide as well, so… you know where to go!

Balloons just out of reach & a revamped Costumes page!

Remember when Dr. Hare promised everyone a Bunny Balloon for when Poptropica’s “Dr. Hare’s Lair” LEGO CUUSOO project reached 5,000 supporters? Well, he isn’t just offering the super-enticing Dr. Hare Deluxe Balloon

We’re also going to get an Insignia Deluxe Balloon! These would make Balloon Boy jealous!

But hold your horses… these balloons aren’t available just yet. (Audience: “Awwww….”) Currently, the LEGO project is only at 3,900+ supporters, so keep encouraging people to vouch for it! 5,000 is not only the halfway mark for the needed 10,000 – it also means two free balloons.

When asked what Dr. Hare himself had to say, he looked the camera in the eye and said with a sincere face, “Don’t do it for me, or for the thousands of other Poptropicans who would love a couple of free balloons. Do it for yourself. You deserve something nice.”

You do deserve something nice! These balloons may not be available yet, but check out the PHB’s newly-revamped Costumes page (still listed under Cool Stuff), now with over 70 costumes (with pictures), plus commentary on how to get most of them, and even a tips section. We’ve got lots of outfit advice from fellow Poptropica fashion enthusiasts, so come and take a look!

Poptropica Books Updates (Island Creator Kit cover and Poptopics)

Island creator kit
*click for full-sized image*

Hey guys, BT here with a couple of new updates regarding 2013 Poptropica books.

First of all, the book Island Creator Kit by Mitch Krpata (aka Hades) now has a cover! You can see the image to the right.

Secondly, I found out about some more books on the Barnes and Noble website (I’m unsure if anybody saw this before me, sorry!), part of a series called Poptopics. They don’t have covers yet, by the way:

Poptopics #1- Mythology:

Introducing an exciting new line of nonfiction titles inspired by the world of Poptropica.

Many of the Poptropica islands feature stories based around different Mythologies, but what’s presented on the screen is far from the whole story. This 64-page nonfiction book introduces kids to the bigger world of Mythology in a fun and engaging way.

Poptopics #2- Space Travel:

Introducing an exciting new line of nonfiction titles inspired by the world of Poptropica.

The Poptropica island Lunar Colony presents a fun, but fictional view of space travel—however, the origins of that story are based in fact. This 64-page nonfiction book introduces kids to the history and current advancements of space travel in a fun and engaging way.

These two new books are probably going to be like the Magic Tree House Fact Tracker series, with that it gives background information on what is presented in Poptropica. For the Mythology one, they’ll probably talk about the mythologies some Poptropica islands are based around on, such as the Scandinavian woodland creatures of Twisted Thicket, and of course, the Grecian gods and monsters of Mythology Island. And for the space travel one, they’ll probably talk about how space travel works in real life, and how some things compare to our adventures in Lunar Colony.

Unlike the other 2013 books (Lunar Colony, Cryptids Island, Island Creator Kit, and Friend Handbook) , the Poptopic books are schedualed to be released October 17, 2013.

So what do you guys think?

BT out!
