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? 😀

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: “There’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 can’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.”

A Steamworks surprise is coming

There’s a special treat coming tomorrow for Poptropica Members: a special Steamworks-related mystery item!

All will be revealed tomorrow. What could it be? The suspense is killing me!

…fortunately, I am well versed in suspenders.

COMIC KID

Hijuyo posting:

Again thanks to Adiboy101, we’ve uncovered another Poptropica Creator! Jennifer Wood is the Managing Editor at Poptropica, according to her LinkedIn profile. Surprisingly, there are no females on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog.

Also, we believe that the other Creator we recently uncoveredMitch Krpata – is Hades on the PCB. Why? Looking at the Poptropica Assets website, you can find that the Bolas Plant SWF for Steamworks Island was posted by [email protected] – and on the PCB, the same animation was posted by Hades. 😀

Yes, we stalk. ;D

Bubble gum blast!

The rules of the school on Big Nate island are uncool, so the creators assure us you can safely blow buuble gum without going to detention. To celebrate this, the creators have a multi party WITH BUBBLE GUM EVERYWHERE!!! 😀

Bubblegum party!

Remember that cool bubblegum we released to the Poptropica Store a few weeks ago?
Or maybe the hot bubblegum?


Or the free bubblegum?


Well, the creators decided to get together in a Multiverse room for a bubblegum party! As you can see, things got a little out of control.


Why not throw your own bubblegum party in a common room or Multiverse room?

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

As you can see, the grumpy old pirate who we all love to NOMNOMNOM is more devoted to taking over Skullduggery than battling players, cus he only has ONE STAR. 😮 Anyway, that party looks crazy fun! 😀 And you’re right, Crawfish. It does look very out of control! :O
*Green Boa blows a giant bubble and floats away in it* 😀

With thanks to Adiboy101, we also found another Poptropica Creator’s real life identity! Mitch Krpata is an Editor of Poptropica, the game run by the company Family Education Network (FEN). His LinkedIn profile shows that he works for Poptropica, but other than that, not much is known about how he relates to Poptropica or which Creator pseudonym name he goes by. His photo there currently matches the one on his Twitter page.

Whoever he is, he probably had a blast partying with the other Creators in their Multiverse room! 😀

Uhhh, where’s the on switch?

The creators have confirmed a new island, but not its name. Some kind of machinery island, Mad Machine? Silly Structure? Extra-strange tool island?? O___O

New island sneak peek week!

Many of you have noticed that there is a new Poptropica island in the works. We’ve decided to share a few sneak peeks of this mysterious, mechanical island.

You’ll need a few gadgets to get past some tricky puzzles and wacky, wild monsters — and I’m not talking about your dad’s pocket knife.

Here are a couple of gizmos that you won’t find in your home toolbox. One of these will help you on your quest to victory, cheering fans, and instant popularity…well, at least victory.

“Multi Tool”? Hmm, what do you think it does?

Come back all week for more sneak peeks. Then, on Friday, we’ll announce the name of the new island. You’ll get it here first, so keep those eyeballs glued to the blog for more exciting peeks.

[CODERKID:

Hello guuuyyys! 😀 I’m here to save the Creators the trouble of posting on Friday…the new island is called “Steamworks”. Pretty spiffy name, eh?

OVER AND OUT]

The tools (yes I do notice that the font is blue) seem to be normal tools melded all together. -_o The multi tool looks like a drill, scissors and hair cutting thingamajigs. Number 2 seems to be a wrench, pressure meter and funnel on a wheel. O_o I have no idea what on earth, poptropica or pewter moon these tools will do, or why you will need them.

The pirate life’s for me!

Hello Poptropicans! Recently, a trailer for the soon-to-be-released Skullduggery Island was released to members only! Of course, it would only be fair if all could witness a sneak peek of one of the most swashbuckling islands yet! Ladies and GentleMannes, I present to you the spectacle that is a preview of the adventures you will have on Skullduggery Island (courtesy of shaned46):

Notice the pirate-y, jolly tunes playing in the background. Wouldn’t it be just awesome if that could play in the background while you explore the island? *winkwinknudgenudge*

The other special item that was given to members was an exclusive Skullduggery Pirate costume. Here’s a picture of me in it.

Yarr har fiddle dee dee bein-- NO, SHUT UP!

More on Skullduggery, you can now see it conveniently placed on the Map, of course with a “COMING SOON.” It sure does look menacing!

"You sure you want t'sail up THAR, Captain?"

Finally, a new wallpaper was released by the Poptropica Creators. I would recommend you replace your current desktop background with this new one in order to, as the kids might say it, “stay hip with the crowd, yo.” At least, that’s what I hear…

Go to http://blog.poptropica.com/2010/05/new-wallpaper.html to download this "psychedelic" and "groovy" background.

Well, that’s about it! I hope you had an awesome week, and we here at the PHB hope you also have a Happy Mothers’ Day this weekend!  Make sure to let her know your gratitude and appreciation for everything she has done for you, no matter how great or minute.

Oh yeah, thanks to Cheerful Panda/Aphrodite who helped me with this picture by obviously posing as the mom. 😀 Click here for a link to Giant Penguin’s Poptropica Blog, a blog that she works on.
