This week, from January 7 – 11, Party With Hobos is publishing five unreleased episodes for your reading pleasure on the PWH website! The PWH studio has already started posting some of these episodes here and here. More will be added over the next few days, so keep checking back! 🙂
Also this week, Poptropica released a sneak peek (above) titled “Home Movies – A hastily constructed studio, to what end?” Now what sort of home entertainment could they be setting up there? Anything as crazy as the Party With Hobos studio? Moving on to another Daily Pop…
“Office Manager – Here it is: the heart of the operation.” It’s Twin Palms Mall again! With… an oil spill in the carpet. Someone should clean that up. Other than that, it looks like it’s about ready for business!
Here’s a rarity – the Creators’ Blog has posted some animated sneak peeks! All we know is that “they come out in the night,” but look at them! Aren’t they just so cute to watch? 🙂
This hopping, cawing red bird appears to be a wind-up toy based on the knob on its back, but it’s moving quite realistically for a gadget!
And then there’s this mysterious, seemingly metallic scorpion crawling back and forth in a cage. The description at the end says “Somebody’s getting up to something…” What could it mean?
Could these creatures be part of the upcoming Zomberry Island, or something else entirely? Maybe we’ll know more soon. ‘Til then, they’ll be stuck in this continual loop! 😛
Recent Daily Pops have been hinting at a new city-themed adventure… but what happens when the city lights start to dim? This sneak peek from the Creators’ Blog could be for an upcoming new Halloween feature!
He appears to be carrying a flashlight – is that what the battery bar is for down at the bottom left corner? Well whatever you do, don’t let that light run out… or Slenderman will get you. Maybe.
While we’re on the subject of nighttime, don’t forget that the members-only limited edition Night Hare costume will be gone from the Store when Super Villain Island is released to everyone next Thursday, October 18th! Grab it now while you still can. Super Villain is this year’s most popular island, Poptropica’s 30th island, and if you need help, our Super Villain Guide and other resources should have you covered.
Finally, check out our Fourth Annual Halloween Costume Competition! We’ve received lots of great entries so far and would love to see yours, too, if you haven’t entered yet. And even if you have, you’re welcome to enter more!
The Super Villain Island members gear pack is now available! Visit the Poptropica Store to pick up your free Night Hare costume (inverted/negative-colored Dr. Hare – this one’s limited edition), Sleeping Powder power (makes everyone fall asleep), and Evil Henchmen item (drops bunnies, crawfish, spiders, robotic mice). Awesome! Thanks, Muddy Axe.
There’s also an ad building for Monster High, so if you’re interested, check out the costumes and special prizes in the dorms of Venus (prize: Pollenator), Rochelle (Stone Gargoyle), and Robecca (Jetpack)! You might also see some other players around because it appears to be a sort of common room as well.
Some recent new sneak peeks on the Daily Pop suggest a possible city-themed island we may see in the future. Could it be related to this Creator sneak peek about the birth of an island? It even mentions the word smoothie, and one of these newer sneak peeks shows a building called Sluggy’s Smoothies. There’s also a Subway, matching both the island-process-planning sneak peek mentioned, and the Daily Pop.
Breakdown – Looks like a bad neighborhood.In Outline – We only need the broad strokes when laying out scenes.Cup of Joe – I like my coffee like I like my comedy: black.
On Roald Dahl Day, the Creators confirmed what we had been suspecting: an island themed after Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Lots of Daily Pops have evidence for the idea, including this newer one depicting the infamous chocolate river Augustus Gloop fell into:
Deep and Dark – There’s nothing sweet about this dangerous place.
If you haven’t already, look for the blue balloon with a “5” on it in any common room (though Early Poptropica’s Soda Pop Shop is the easiest because of its smaller size) and pop it to get a bonus firework-shooting, limited edition epic birthday cake costume. There’s also a free color-changing balloon in the Store! Poptropica’s 5th birthday celebration lasts for the rest of September. Check out BT’s post for more pics!
The balloon should look like this:
In other news, don’t forget to join in the PHB’s 7 million hits celebration for your chance to win an account with a rare costume! It ends next Friday, September 21st. Click here for more information.
That concludes another mega post! Have a great weekend! 😀
Okay… I don’t know where to start. The sweet dreams or the horrid nightmares? I’ll just start with the sweet dreams.
More Daily Pops have been appearing that could pertain to this plausible Charlie and the Chocolate Factory quest.
Nuts to That: Maybe you can help someone come out of their shell.Time to Punch in: This place will set factory records. (Brave Tomato: W for Wonka???)Divine Invention: When this machine drops gum, its gum drops hard. (Brave Tomato: The Inventing Room?)Pay no Mind: It’s free to drop in.Litterbugs: Who’d trash a nice sidewalk like this? (Brave Tomato: Average commuters.)
Okay… the sweet dreams are up. Now, ladies and gentleman, I present to you the horrid nightmares.
Yesterday, the last of the returning villains have been announced. And as we had guessed, it was the Binary Bard who is returning.
Another Piece of the Puzzle: Did you think we would just go away quietly? In your dreams! We have big things planned, my friends. Big things. Binary translation: Evil never sleeps. ~ Binary Bard
Commenter Fearless Lobster has noticed that the link for this picture is Binary Bard_SVI.jpg. SVI could stand for Super Villain Island!
I can tell that he’s the last villain because he has the rust effect on the side of his poster, like Dr. Hare’s poster had when this madness began. Now, let’s view the whole puzzle.
Despicable. Truly despicable. 4 of Poptropica’s most popular villains involved in something together. In any other place, this combination is very strange, but in Poptropica, a bunny evil genius, a crafty art theif, a pirate captian, and a cyborg jester spells big trouble.
And speaking of big trouble… Shark Tooth Island residents… you are NOT going to like this…
Breaking News: Much more on this story as it develops.
What… the… heck….? I looked at Shark Tooth Island as it is right now. Its slight innocence is still there. The skies are still blue and there are still a lot of salesmen. And, of course, the Booga Shark statue is still in tact. My goodness, Shark Tooth Island, you are not going to like what’s gonna happen in the near future…
All the latest sneak peeks are mixed. Some are sweet dreams, while others are horrid nightmares. It seems that we will face the nightmare first…
