Let’s fly let’s fly away….

In a cold hot air balloon! Sorry I’m talking in songs ๐Ÿ˜› Anyways, lots of updates today in the Poptropica world! First off…

Up, up in my beautiful balloon...

Coolio! The portion of the tree looks like one from Counterfeit Island. I wonder……

Next update: Loud Shark has taken a picture of a new island that was only on the homepage for an hour. Very interesting… Pic below:

Cryptids Island?

I also noticed that there’s no info page for it. Hmmmmm…….

Some definitions for cryptids are posted below (thanks pengyzu, LazyFeather, and Alec Warper!) :

Pengyzu: Cryptid basically is something unexplainable by Science. Like extinct dinos walking in present day. Examples are the Loch Ness Monster and Aliens.

LazyFeather: A cryptid is an animal or creature whose existence is unrecognized. Famous cryptids are Big Foot, Yeti, and The Loch Ness Monster. Maybe it has something to do with monstersโ€ฆ

Alec Warper: In cryptozoology and (to a lesser degree) cryptobotany, a cryptid (from the Greek โ€œฮบฯฯฯ€ฯ„ฯ‰โ€ (krypto) meaning โ€œhideโ€) is a creature or plant whose existence has been suggested but that is unrecognized by a scientific consensus, and whose existence is moreover often regarded as highly unlikely.

Last update of the day: TOY STORY 3 AD!!!!! Loud Shark also has taken a video of how to beat the ad for us:

Thanks for providing everything for us Loud Shark! ๐Ÿ˜€

Ad Locations: Counterfeit, Super Power, Spy, Mythology, Reality TVย (comment if you find any more!)

Age Limit: Unknown for now, but comment if you find it! ๐Ÿ˜€

In other news: MT wants to let you guys know that the Party With Hobos Season 6 has just begun! Make sure to watch! ๐Ÿ™‚

That’s it for me this week! Have a great weekend! ๐Ÿ™‚ ~Shaggy Tornado

Bonus Items, Cryptids Island, Sneak Peeks

Replay Castle!

If you visit your inventory, you may notice that your island medallions have more than just the “Put On” button – a new “Replay Island” button was added to every medallion card! When you click on it, it will ask you to confirm whether you really do want to lose all your items and progress for the island.

Unfortunately, nothing happened when I clicked “Yes.” Maybe they’re working on it, but this could be a cool feature we can be looking forward to! (thanks, Blueshield)

Update: The Replay button is gone! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Also, here’s a sneak peek of the next Poptropica island:

Not exactly the mightiest castle out there. What’s up with the bucket attached to a flagpole by roof? Construction of this fortress in the fog looks only half-finished. What do you think might be involved in this one?

According to reader Maximum Ride, the flag is Scotland’s. Could this have anything to do with the “French” island sneak peeks from before? Maybe we’re not just getting a France-like island, maybe it’s Europe-themed! Who knows. ๐Ÿ˜›

Furry monster… carnival?

Just look at these guys!

Justly named Furry Monsters 1-4 (see above pic; 1-4 are in order left to right), these new [and so far, unannounced] releases to the Poptropica Store mean you can now get what used to be ultra-rare leaked costume parts (wings, horns, fur bodies) for only 75 credits per costume! Here’s what they say:

  • Furry Monster 1: “Monster is the new black.”
  • Furry Monster 2: “Don’t hate me because I’m spooky.”
  • Furry Monster 3: “Be a hit at the next monster bash!”
  • Furry Monster 4: “Guaranteed to shock and frighten!”

And apparently, the available furry monsters are actually different by your gender! So there’s actually more of a variety available, and the good news is, they’re all AWESOME!

Girl mon-STARS! xD
Monster madness for the boys!

These creatures resemble the leaked costumes of “Monster Carnival Island”, the unreleased island that appeared on the Poptropica Map in early 2008 and mysteriously never went live. (Instead, as older players may recall, it was replaced by 24 Carrot.) As far as the Creators are showing us, they probably won’t be releasing this Monster Carnival Island.

For reference: The Poptropica Help Blog has given away 13 of these epic monster-type costumes back when they were unobtainable. You can read all about our PHB 1 Million Monster Competition by clicking here.

So these monster costumes aren’t very rare any more, now that anyone can obtain them… but they’re still cool! Don’t you just love those critter bits? ๐Ÿ˜€

What do you think of being able to easily access what were once known as ultra-rare Poptropica clothing?

Ad building news according to Sunset1624: “Thereโ€™s also a new ad for girls (I found it on my 12 year old account) called Barbie Girls Halloween Bash. You help Barbie pick out a good costume for the party, and when you pick out a costume she likes (it could be any) you get a cat costume for yourself and you get to go to the Halloween party. You canโ€™t costumize any of the good costumes though. The only costumes you can costumize are the costumes of the same people from the Haunted House.”

Chicken alert! Chicken alert!

Don’t worry, it’s not a real chicken! XD It’s just the new PCB post! …About a chicken alarm!

You do need a good chicken alarm now and then.

Yes, you’re all thinking O_o, WTH?, and all that. XD Just what kind of island uses a stuffed, unreal chicken for an alarm?! Will we be facing a Jurassic Island? Mansion Island? We’ll have to wait and see. ๐Ÿ˜› BTW, did anyone notice the broken egg and barbed wire on the tree? XD Some of our commenters have suggested that this could be a trap of sorts.

Hijuyo: In other news, the PHB’s Second Annual Halloween Costume Contest has just closed. The judges are excited to see the 100+ entries we have received, and we have good news for everyone: YOU get to play a role in the judging!

During the next week, the judges will get together to decide on TEN finalists. This will then go into a poll that we will post on the PHB (watch for it next Friday, October 15th!), and ANYONE can vote on who they think has the best costume.

The poll will end JUST before Halloween (which gives you 2 weeks of intense competition!) so we can announce the winners on the night of scares! ๐Ÿ˜€

Great Pumpkin Island, Sneak Peeks

Good grief, Pumpkin Island!

Today on the Creators’ Blog, Captain Crawfish revealed the Great Pumpkin Island map – or some of it, anyway. We still don’t know much about the island, but there are seven areas – a lot less than most other islands, but still pretty cool! Here’s the image below. What places do you think we’ll get to visit?

Good things do come in small packages, after all.

And at the end of his PCB post, Crawfish hints that there are plenty of mini-games and adventures on GP Island that don’t appear on the map, so it’s more than it looks! The PHB has also updated its Island Help page to include resourceful links about Great Pumpkin Island, so be sure to check those out! ๐Ÿ™‚
