Heyo Poptropicans! Pop in for costume designs, new and reimagined! ✨
The Pop Creators recently posted a sneak peek on Instagram of two unreleased costumes, one featuring a dark cloak and owl, and the other a blushing frazzle-haired demon. 🦉😈 Guess their names and they could be yours for free! The names haven’t been revealed yet, but we’ll probably find out soon when they arrive at the store next month. 🛍
Speaking of Instagram, check out these fan art features from the past week on Poptropica’s stories! (Tip: Click the artists’ names to view their original posts, including bonus slides.)
Hey Poptropicans, here’s the latest on what’s poppin’ with Pop.
Another week brings another rotation at Adventure Outfitters, and this time Amelia’s brought out the summer wardrobe! 🌞 On the racks you’ll find goods like the Floral Spring and Dark Astro for players, and Lifeguard floatie for pets. Check it out on the Pop Creators’ Blog »
Among Poptropica’s many chaotic tweets, here’s one for fans of Stranger Things: a crossover between Vecna’s Upside Down and the Baron’s Red October. Less than two weeks to go till volume 2 of season 4… in the meantime, fans of both may also enjoy our Stranger Things Pop-over!

Gone are the old cast of default characters introduced last year with the restructuring of Poptropica to the Haxe engine. In comes a new crew for new accounts! You’ll find them right on the Poptropica homepage.
From left to right in the pics above, the new starters are: Coolin Dude, Snug Vibes, Floral Spring, Summer Vibes, Lightning Knight, Water Fight, Cool Blade, and Pumpkin Smash. You may recognize most of these looks from past store costumes, with Cool Blade also sharing their fit with Fashion Ninja from PoptropiCon’s Mighty Action Force.
Of course, players can customize their looks even further once they get into the game. Fun refresh, and cool to have all the seasons represented in the lineup. Wonder if this switch-up will happen again next year?

Meanwhile, in keeping up with her airborne archrival, Amelia at Adventure Outfitters has rotated her store stock as well. In addition to the Pride Month gear, she’s also refreshed the costume selection and added more pet gear, including Fairy Wings and more. 🌈🧚
Speaking of Poptropica’s Pride gear, check out this fan-made fashion showcase from Perfect Sky modeling all the colorful looks amidst the perfectly dreary Dullsville backdrop:

It’s been over four months since this installment re-released on Haxe for members, and restless players have been petitioning for the paywall to come down ever since. It’s great to see the episode open back up for everyone, and hopefully this indicates more re-openings for other locked segments of episodic islands as well. Time will tell!
By the way, enjoy the PoptropiCon poster above? We’ve been working hard to include images of old island extras in our Island Guides, particularly as links have broken from Pop’s website in recent years. Check out our various guides for desktop wallpapers and more! 🖼
In other news, guest writer Invisible Ring has returned to the Pop Creators’ Blog with commentary on the recent Steam release. She observes how the discontent around the game’s pricing reminds her of her fan movie Battle Morale and how the growth of Pop’s mobile app over the years could indicate more classics might also appear on Steam.
Alongside her usual optimism, however, she also calls out the Creators for not having brought back Monkey Wrench yet (a promise they made over a year ago) and seeming potentially “desperate” for not making the Steam bundle free — though she ties that into her hopes for more islands on the Steam game, which she has not purchased.
If you’re wondering whether the bundle is worth it, check out our review of Poptropica on Steam! And with that, see you in the next one. ✌️
