Curiosity might have killed the cat. But the Creators know it won’t stop you. Thirsting for some knowledge? A new feature has been added into the Daily Pop: Creator Clips!

Introducing Creator Clips!

We’re thrilled to introduce a new feature in the Daily Pop: Creator Clips!

  • The most embarrassing thing that ever happened to Rick Riordan, the author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians
  • The worst job that Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, ever had
  • The scariest thing that ever happened to Mary Pope Osborne, author of The Magic Tree House
  • Something that Lincoln Peirce, writer and artist of Big Nate, has never told anyone before
And much, much more! Check out Creator Clips now in the Daily Pop. A new entry will be posted every Monday.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Thanks for that, Captain Crawfish. Maybe we won’t eat you just yet. 🙂
CC: Whew! I’m still alive!
Hijuyo: Watch it! I said YET.
That’s not the only place you can get information about people who have played a part in Poptropica. The Poptropica Help Blog offers, among other cool stuff, the Poptropica Creators Database – a collection of data we know about the identities of the Poptropica Creators, the very people who work to create for us such an awesome game!
Recently a new section has been added to our Creators Database, and our thanks goes to Quiet Eagle for discovering the identity of Director D – who is known to his workmates as James Lema! Besides being the former director of Spy Island HQ, James is also the Director of Product Development at Poptropica’s Headquarters! Read more about it in our database.
CC: Bet you’ll never find MY real name!
Hijuyo: Do you WANT to be eaten?
CC: No, arrrr!
Hijuyo: Then keep a low profile, would you?
CC: Aye aye Captain.
Hijuyo: I can’t hear you.
CC: AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!
Hijuyo: Wait, I thought you were the Captain. Captain… Crawfish.
(At the word “crawfish,” crowds of hungry seals rush in to nom CC.)
CC: Aye, ’tis an omnom life for me.

Dr. Hare 2.0 and his minion

Slanted Fish

If the mayor of 24 Carrot Island was upset about Dr. Hare’s mischief, well, things just got worse. Dr. Hare has posted the following on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog:

Dr. Hare returns to 24 Carrot Island!

Bad news gets worse for the mayor of 24 Carrot Island.

Wait a minute, I don’t remember this picture being taken. That’s not the real Dr. Hare at all. It’s an impostor!

What’s going on here?

DR. HARE

Wait, so now there’s TWO Dr. Hares?! Make that three… it looks like the impostor’s holding a Dr. Hare doll! But where did he get THAT?

Here’s the big scoop…

Poptropica TOYS are in the making!

Popular online toy store ToyWiz.com has a page up declaring that it is “your source for official Poptropica merchandise like toys, action figures, plush & redemption codes for online virtual items!” You can now pre-order goodies that will ship to you in June.

Featured items right now include 7-inch plush figures of Dr. Hare, Shark Boy, and more. There are also 6-inch action figures, 3-inch mini figure toy 2-packs, as well as a deluxe toy playset: the 30-inch inflatable blimp!

Sounds like a lot of fun!

So tell us, nice boys and girls, would you like to be getting your very own Poptropica toys? 😀


Daily Pop, Skullduggery Island, Sneak Peeks, Store

Trees, Japanese, ships on seas and a winter freeze.

Green Boa

Hey guys! GB here. So sorry I haven’t posted in like, a MONTH. I was busy with… errands and stuff. 😛

Anyway, off the off-topicness, and on with the on topicness!

I report PCB posts!

Go climb a tree

 What do you suppose is happening here?

I’ve never seen a Poptropican do that before…avatar image
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

OMBR (Oh my blinking radish) that’s so cool! It looks like a tall tree too, and what do we grip on to?! What are we, part monkeys?! (BTW, I know a few siblings of mine who already are part monkey, in the noise factor, they’re howler monkeys)

Memoirs of a Poptropica costume

 Looking through the store, it seems there are even more Japanese-inspired costumes that can get you geared up for the upcoming launch of Red Dragon Island. This Geisha costume for girls comes with a special item.


The Shamisen is a traditional three-stringed instrument found in Japan, which is a speciality of the Geisha. Put on this costume and press the spacebar to strum your Shamisen. Then sing yourself a happy tune as you await Red Dragon Island.

BLACK WIDOW

Yeahhh…. we kinda knew that already…

From the vault

Time goes by so quickly on Poptropica. Hard to believe that it’s been a year since we started working on Skullduggery Island. Here’s an early sketch of the Phoenix Warbird, dated from April 2010.

Somehow, that ended up being the ship that sank… me! Incredible.avatar image

OMBAWRWO! (Oh my blinking and winking radish with onions… lol, I love being random) It’s a birthday!!!! WE NEED A CAKE!!!!! CANDLES!! RADISH!!! SONG!!!! 😀
Happy birthday to it,
I almost had a fit,
When I forgot it’s special day,
But we’ll PARTY anyway!! 😉
I am such a poet… 😆

Sleigh ride 

It’s time to check in once again on our top scorers in the Daily Pop. This month, let’s take a look at our Sleigh Shot leaderboards. Because who doesn’t want to play a Christmas-themed game in April?

The scores are pretty tight. As of this writing, the day’s leader is Sticky Spinner with 7,917 points. The week’s leader is Green Catfish, with 8,310 points. But your monthly leader is…

Hyper Crumb, with 9,081 points!That looks like a beatable score to me. Do you have what it takes to become the top Sleigh Shot scorer in the month of April? You have a little over a week to find out!

The creators are always just having posts telling us what we already know. Geez creators, get your game on. More peeks, less repeats.
Not that it rhymes, but it should be good. (did I mention I’ve got nearly 450 words in this post! Geez! I write such infrequent, mammoth posts!)
Later peeps!

Red Dragon Island, Sneak Peeks

Coming soon, Red Dragon Island!

Rainfall

Announcing the next Poptropica Island!

You’ve seen the Sneak Peeks. You’ve watched the teaser trailer. And now we can reveal for the first time that the next Poptropica Island is…

Red Dragon Island! And it’s brought to you with the help of our friends at Magic Tree House. Prepare for an epic journey to ancient Japan!

We’ll have much more information about Red Dragon Island in the days to come. In the meantime, you can visit the travelmap on Poptropica right now to access the special sneak preview of Red Dragon Island — a Sumo wrestling tournament!

Enjoy!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Well, looks like I was wrong, it has nothing to do with red turtles– in fact, it’s something even cooler.

Dragons!

After speculating about the video that was posted by the Creators, the secret has in fact, been revealed. It’s been confirmed– the new island, Red Dragon Island, is possibly based on the book “Dragon of the Red Dawn” part of the Magic Tree House series, by Mary Pope Osbourne.

A man stood to the side and told a story to the audience.

“What’s he saying?” said Annie.

“He is telling the legend of the Cloud Dragon,” said Basho. “The Cloud Dragon is one of the guardian animals of the four directions. She has the power of flight and commands the rain clouds.”

~Basho being a smart alec, Mary Pope Osbourne

Heh heh... *breathes out smoke*

Don’t forget to check out the sneak preview! Fat guys Sumo wrestlers. Fun!

(Don’t make fun though, looks like you’ve gained some pounds too.)

Better start working out. And what better way than a little sumo wrestling?

Here you’ll have to beat another sumo wrestler. Several, actually! Talk to the ref standing by the platform to get started.

Prepare for impact! Push or be pushed!

You’ll have to go through 20 rounds, 4 ranks, beating several people, to get each costume. (Well, at least if you’re a member. -__-)

Here’s the Maegashira costume, the first rank:

Just one? 😦 *sigh* Lucky members.

Good luck!

The wrestler ranks are:

  1. Juryo (starter)
  2. Maegashira (highest for non-members)
  3. Sanyaku
  4. Ozeki
  5. Yokozuna (highest for members)
Here’s Juyo’s character as a heavy Maegashira! (Interesting how the starter rank is called ‘Juryo,’ almost like Juyo!)

Just for fun: Did you know that Red Dragon is also a possible Poptropica player name? Now isn’t that cool. 🙂

Kanji: Secret Revealed

Slanted Fish

The Creators have posted a new video and it is titled “Coming Soon to Poptropica: Kanji Secret.” On YouTube, the description is:

A new island is coming to Poptropica! What will the name of this new island be? The kanji holds the answer!

And here is the video:

Dragons, patterns, and… some Japanese words. If anyone is able to read it, we could have the secret of the next island! According to our readers’ comments, it seems that everyone can agree that the Kanji reads “Red Dragon”!
