April Fashion Brings Woodworks Clashin’ 🪵⚔️

Gentle Dolphin

Hello, everyone! Time to check out the latest Pop updates. But first, a word from our sponsor: ME! Don’t worry, Slanted Fish gave me permission.

This week, I have been hosting a “Favorite Poptropica Character Tournament” on Twitter! In spite of the public outcry regarding certain matchups, it has been fun watching the votes and tears pour in. Round 2 is currently underway, and you reading the PHB can participate! You can vote for your favorites via Twitter, or this Google Forms poll! 🗳️🏆

Now we return to our regularly scheduled blogging. Adventure Outfitters welcomed a new display just in time for April. Out with the green stuff, and in with the stylin’ fits. Paired with the chic fashion are a few random goodies like a smiling cloud, a reversible octopus plush, a jetpack, and a rideable bug.

As pointed out by Dizzy Feather on the Poptropica Help Chat, this month’s selection of items is near identical to last April’s display. While recycling monthly displays isn’t new for Poptropica, it gets old for players itching to collect new gear. It’s almost like they’re saving the new stuff for members, “wooden” you think?

Speaking of which, April’s member gifts have flown into paying players’ inventories. Members can now don the Woodworks Outfit, Woodworks Sword, and Woodworks Wings. While the wings won’t carry you through the wind, they can pop in and out for a cool visual effect.

“Wood” you like a membership? Enter our monthly free membership giveaway for a chance to win one! 🎁

Finally, here are some fan art features from Pop’s recent Instagram stories. As per usual, we have art of fan-favorite characters along with oodles of OCs! Click the artists’ names for the full posts.

Spring blooms with costumes 🍀

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans — new lines, same story. Pop in for store switch-ups, fan art features, and the questionable meme of the week!

Over at Adventure Outfitters, both pets and players get to enjoy a new rotation of costumes, in addition to the “green stuff” on the shop floor.

Though the Pop Creators might not be doing much lately (where are you, Baron?) , the fan community is keeping the flame going with lots of creative work recently featured on Pop’s Instagram stories. 🔥 Be sure to click the artists’ names to check out their full posts, including a short story about a Pelican Rock prisoner!

Villainous Fashion: Dr. Hare in Designer 🕶🥕

Slanted Fish

Poptropica’s been in quite the dry spell these past few months, but every so often, the Pop Creators still throw us a few crumbs of entertainment.

A new meme on Twitter showcases how to mimic Dr. Hare’s style IRL with a collection of refined items, from a hot pink Valentino jumpsuit to… Walmart bunny ears. 🐰 Thanks, Poptropica Fashion Week!

Leave it to Poptropica to dress Dr. Hare in designer…

It’s been a while, but this week Pop finally popped back into the Instagram game with a host of story highlights. Enjoy!

And no, unfortunately so far this little spike in activity hasn’t translated to the game or the official blog, which hasn’t offered any updates in a hot month. Yes, we’re here in the middle of March, still waiting to hear about January’s costume contest winner and the Baron’s disappearance, with the airship last seen in December. All the fancy styles on social media can’t make us forget the missing substance of the game…

Green Sights and a Quiet Heist

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, pop in for shop drops and gems for mems!

March-ing into St. Patrick’s season, Adventure Outfitters is right on trend with a section of “green stuff” for your clubhouse. 🍀 Also on the shop floor, you’ll find Leprechaun and Jester costumes, as well as a cute lion plush. And in the middle are some cozy fits. Lucky you!

Shhh… members get more! March’s member gifts have stealthily arrived, equipping would-be thieves with a Quiet Heist Grapple Hook, Quiet Heist Boots, and Quiet Heist Outfit featuring a beanie with long hair, sunglasses, puffer jacket, and dark pants. Happy heisting? 🥷

While opening up your menu, you might continue to encounter “Daily Questions.” Besides the pop culture questions seen earlier, we’re now starting to see more general questions, such as this one about winning contests — though we’re still without a place to show our answers.

Meanwhile in meme land, the Pop Creators continue to be fixated on 24 Carrot Island, and in particular its magical drink dispenser. Seems they’re too busy to give us any other kinds of updates these days…

Hoppy Poppy Valentine’s! 💖🐰

Slanted Fish

Hoppy Valentine’s season, Poptropicans! Somebunny has been sharing a series of Pop-themed little love notes — maybe there’s one for you.

On Instagram, the Pop Creators posted several Valentine’s cards, many of which we’ve seen before, though there are a couple new ones in the mix featuring Bastet from Jade Scarab Island and the Red Baron. Love!

Speaking of the Baron, though, there’s still no sight of the sky pirate or their red airship on Home Island, and we’re now midway through the month. Comments about who the costume contest winner might be continue to go unanswered on the Creators’ Blog. 🤔 Hmmm….

While we wait for updates to the actual game, at least we’re seeing some love on socials! 💕 Check out the latest fan art featured on Poptropica’s Instagram stories, where devotion and daring are in the air:
