Big Nate Island, Comics, Reality TV Island, Sneak Peeks

More TV Stars!

Yes – finally, another sneak peek for Reality TV Island! Thank youย Funny Penguin for the news. I guess you can throw away all those rumors about the Poptropica Creators abandoning that island now that we know they’re definitely working hard on it! This sneak peek shows 4 more contestants you may be competing against on the upcoming island, possibly a sequel to this old sneak peek. Here you go:

Blog Post Title: Tough Competition
Description: Here are a few more contestants you may be competing against on Reality TV island.

Let’s see… from left to right, here are my guesses on what these guys are. The first one looks like a hiking scout, the second seems to be a music fan, the third one appears to be a sweaty athlete, and the fourth… I don’t know, maybe a magician? ๐Ÿ˜›

The Creators have also posted a Big Nate comic, and it looks like somebody isn’t having so much success with ice skating. Thanks for the news,ย Tough Claw!

Lastly, there’s a new poll on the Creators’ Blog: Who is your favorite character from the Big Nate comics? Predictably, Nate is winning (might be because nobody knows anything about the other characters!). ๐Ÿ˜†

Anyway, that’s all the news for now! Remember to read up on all the other posts, too. Check out the links below to learn more about Reality TV Island, an island coming to Poptropica in the near future!

Refreshing Drinks and Disney Dogs!

Ahh… that sure was a nice cup of water.

Yes, water = food = French-like Island sneak peek! Thanks, Funny Penguin, for the news! Anyway, Comic Kid, one of the Poptropica Creators,ย posted this today:

Blog Post Title: Time for a Drink
Description: On my long travels I get pretty thirsty. Luckily I found some punch and water from these coolers on the side of the road. Delicious!

Also, there’s a new advertisement building on 24 Carrot, Super Power, and Spyย Island, calledย “Disney Space Buddies Dog Park”! Thanks, Shiny Leaf, for telling us about the new ad, andย Director Lion (Gentle Lion) for informing us on the locations!ย It’s so famous there’s even a post about it on the Creators’ Blog – and it’s rare that they actually talk about the advertisements! I think that maybe Disney, the company being advertised for their Space Buddies movie, paid extra money to have their ad building advertised on the Creators’ Blog too (it’s just a guess though). You can read their post here: http://blog.poptropica.com/2009/02/where-no-poptropican-has-gone-before.html

Here’s a cut-and-paste image I took of the outside part of the plane-shaped advertisement (yes, it may be a little uneven): ๐Ÿ˜›

disneyspacebuddies-ad

Inside it, you can do a mission. Walk into the room behind the man in the space suit, and click on the green button next to the space helmet. The doors to the room will close, but the door on the ceiling opens up, letting you fly through space! Fly up there!disneyspacebuddiessuit

Your task is to find the 5 missing space dogs around outer space (actually, the black area around the ad building). If you find one, all you have to do it touch it (or crash it) to transport it back to the building. The bad news is, there is a limit of time – “oxygen” – you have to find all five space dogs. The good news is, there is no limit on how many times you can try the mission in case you don’t succeed the first time. The bad news is, there are a couple meteors out in space that, if you crash into, will “WHACK” you like the criminals of Super Power Island. Good luck!

Oh, and there’s prizes too (yay, more good stuff!). But the bad news (again) is that it’s for a limited time only, which means it’s only temporary. Anyway, here they are:

  • Disney: Space Buddies Space Suit (see the figure on the right)
    An awesome white space suit (it doesn’t have any special effects, though).
  • Disney: Space Buddies Firecracker
    When you use it (by pressing the “Use” button on its item card), a firecracker will fly around the screen, then at the end, shows the “Disney Space Buddies” logo.

By the way, we are apparently still having a problem controlling what we say when it comes to new posts on the Creators’ Blog. Yep, you know whatย I mean – and this notice, now appearing for the 5th time,ย will tell you if you don’t get it!

Special Note: It is not a race to be the first to tell everyone about a new post on the Creatorsโ€™ Blog. Weโ€™ve had many comments saying the same thing (โ€New post on Creatorsโ€™ Blog!!!!โ€) and it is very annoying. If someone has already mentioned it, donโ€™t bother to say it again – itโ€™s not necessary. If people continue to spam and repeat the same thing over an over again, it will show us that you cannot handle this and we will stop giving out credits. Please comment appropriately. Thanks!

Thank-you Mousyblack for notifyingย usย when it wasย posted.
I, Codien, promise to show you a sneak peak of what the costumes look like when they are made. Also the next issue of PHB Sneak Peaks will have some of the costumes that you will get in the new Astro-Knights Island.


-PHB 400,000 Touchdown Countdown-
Yesterday in America the 43rd annual ‘Super Bowl’ was held. As an Australian i have know idea what it is but I’m guessing its some kind of cereal eating contest. No, i know what it is and i know the the Steelers won. Which is a shame because there was an Australian Football player in the Cardinals squad (I think he was the kicker guy). Did you guys watch the ads? ๐Ÿ˜€
But while I’m on the subject of football, Poptropica Help Blog is soon to score a touchdown of their own. And this time it’s worth 400,000.
So if you would like, i want you guys to count down, or rather count up to 400,000!
Lets do this!
Darn, you guys are too fast for my post. We have already hit 400,000! Wait a minute…WE HAVE REACHED 400,000!

PARTY!ย ย  400,000 PARTY!ย ย ย  PARTY!

Thanks guys for getting to 400,000. We are getting more and more visitors everyday.
From the PHB Team: Thanks!. Without you guys we wouldn’t have a site….well we would but it wouldn’t be viewed. ๐Ÿ˜›

PHB Sneak Peaks: Land Ahoy, Yogo Bucks

February 1st, 2009ย #2


[-CLASSIFIED-]

[POPTROPICA HELP BLOG ONLY!]

Welcome to the new posts of Poptropica Help Blog Sneak Peaks, that are posted every week on Sundays. On these new posts there will beย stories that only we have. And only we post them. Theseย stories are classified and are very secret.
This week we have two articles for us to share; ‘Land Ahoy’ this is an article on the Pirate Advertisement coming out in the near future, and ‘Yogos Bucks’ is another advertisement that will be coming out next week.

-Land Ahoy-
No, Once again they haven’t landed yet…Or have they?

On January 31st, After Codien’s trekking adventure in the jungle led to a mystery involving Pirates, Codien hadn’t been able to sleep. Visions of a pirate ship, slowly drifting from a thick haze, silently landing on the sand kept him awake. Theย 3 pirates from the photo kept appearing in his dream, running at him with swords in hand.
Codien had had enough. He decided to trek through the jungle to the point where he found the picture to see if he could uncover, or rather findย nothing to do with the pirates. After 2 hours of searching he didn’t find anything. No photos, no jewels, not even a gold tooth. There was nothing there. Feeling tired Codien decided to walk back home. It was half way through the jungle when he realised he had gone the wrong way. He was lost. Codienย started to get worried. Images of the 3 pirates kept flashing in front of his eyes. In panic he turned on his heel and ran as fast as he could in one direction, Never stopping for a breath. He only slowed down when the familiar sound of the waves crashing on the beach was present. He ran through the last lines of trees when he came crashing downย onto theย sand. He sighed a longย exhausting breath. He felt safe here.

After what seemed hours Codien looked up past the suns blazing rays and out to the water. A rush of panic filled him; he half expected a pirate ship to be looming on the horizon. But there was none. He chuckled to himself.
Crack! The sound of a tree branchย broke behind him. isthatapirate
He turned in shock to see a strange man, covered in old red clothing, and a swordย on the belt,ย standing on aย rock. Before he could blink the man was gone.

Still gasping for breath, Codien couldn’t tell if what he saw was real.

Was that a real pirate standing on the rock?

This whole Pirate mystery was just too much for Codien to handle.
He decidedย that the best thing to do was to go see the ‘Shark Tooth’ Islandsย Medicine Man;ย and see if he could make a potion that would make him forget the pirates.
Lets just hope he doesn’t have to find another secret ingredient.


What’s the story about?
The story is about the new costume we will be getting in the newย advertisement/mission.divinggame1
This pirate costume, along with two others, will be obtainable when the Froot Loops: Fruity Golden Bars mission is released.ย 
This Froot Loops mission will be similar to the old Froot Loops mission (which can be viewed here), where you will have to help Toucan Sam in a diving game. Except in this diving game you will get a Gold Diving suit. The Froot Loops Diving Suit, one of the prizes, is a clothing item you can wear, and you automatically blow some bubbles every few seconds when you wear it. Of course theย best thing about this mission is that there will be those 3 new Pirate costumes. ๐Ÿ˜€
This mission will be released next week or maybe 3 weeks from now.

Thank-You Graham for your excellent knowledge on Froot Loops.

-Yogos Bucks-
Do you want to win some cash?

yogobucks-copy

Last week as Codien was doing his usually shopping on Early Poptropica Island he ran into a strange man and womenย withย funny hats. Theyย were dancing and laughing, jumping and singing. Theyย seemed to be havingย crazy fun!
How could Codien resist. He had toย join them in their dancing and singing. After only a few minutes the song was already in his head:

“Hey Kids! Do you want to have some fun?ย Have some fun with me.
Grab a pack and eat them up,ย and prance around with glee.
You can eat,ย dance, and play.ย And win some cash with Yogos.
If you want food, and want to win some cash.
ย Well then, Grab the Bucks and Go with Yogos

After dancing and singing, and having so much fun the crazy manย decided to give Codien his hat. With a huge grin Codien thanked the man.ย 
With a sad goodbye, Codienย turned on his feet and walked back home with a spring in his step. Singing the song, all the way home.

So first off if you haven’t noticed. For the past week or so there have been ads on the sides ofย the Poptropica game, advertising Yogos. It was advertising that in specially marked packs of Yogos, you could have a chance to win some money.

So this week or maybe next week Poptropica will bring out the ad in the game (maybe similarย to the Wall-E Ad), with Poptropicans dressed in the costumes, featured in the image on the left.
I WANT THAT HAT!

Well I’m from Australia and i have no idea what Yogos are but I’m guessing they’re food.ย  ๐Ÿ˜›

ย If any of you guys didn’t notice but the two products, Froot Loops and Yogos, are both ownedย by Kelloggs. Which I, have came to the conclusion that…Kelloggs must be advertising on Poptropica. Thought I’d like to point that out. ๐Ÿ™‚

So that’s my Sneak Peaks this week. Next week I’ll have sneak peaks on the upcoming island Astro-Knights and a very special Dog.
See you next week.

Astro-Knights Island, Sneak Peeks

Astro-Knights Island Gets a Name!

To all island-loving Poptropicans out there:
Breaking News!

The mysterious “Mechanical/Medieval” island has a name now – Astro-Knights Island! Thanks Legodude12 for this piece of exciting information. According to the Poptropica Creators, this island is expected to be released this spring!

Astro-Knights

The cool banner above can also be found on the homepage of Poptropica.com. If you click on it, it’ll bring you to a page where it tells you all about the quest plot for the upcoming Astro-Knights Island! Here’s what it says:

Astro_Knights Island Coming Soon!

ASTRO-KNIGHTS
Launch thyself into a new adventure on Poptropica! The fair princess King and Queen hath been kidnapped and taken to the far reaches of space. Thou must assemble a space vessel and fly among the stars on an inter-galactic quest to rescue her.

Takenย from http://www.poptropica.com/astro_island.html.
If you were wondering why “the fair princess” is crossed out, it’s because Poptropica changed the description to “King and Queen”. Thanks Penguin Girl!

Now does that sound cool or what.ย We’re so excited. Look at all the places. You can see the ‘Mechanical Jungle’ there, and there’s the Spaceship.ย We assumeย we will be flying the spacecraft, like the plane in Nabooti, to different regions in space to collect items. The different regions will be like a Fire Place, Snowy Mountain Place, that mysterious Jungle.
Looks like we’ll be taking a longย ride through space to rescueย the royal couple! Awesome! :mrgreen:

But what does that mean for Reality TV Island? They started making that island ages ago.

Tomorrow Codien will be posting another ‘PHB Sneak Peak’. It will have some more info on the FL Pirates and also some new stuff coming out. He has promised to get some sneak peaks of the costumes from the latest island Astro-Knights.
STAY TUNED…remember it’s ‘CLASSIFIED!’
