Customizing Changes on Worlds: New Clothes, Cliff Housebuff, and More

LJ

Hello everyone!

Lucky Joker here, with a range of customization-related tips and updates from Poptropica Worlds. Let’s get into it!

Earlier, Skinny Moon posted on the Creators’ Blog some ways in which you can customize your character on Worlds. Also included was this quick new video giving an overview of customization and more in Worlds:

As we said in our Poptropica Worlds review, you can now buy clothing items individually, which really makes customization convenient. For example, you can buy shoes from one outfit, a pair of glasses from another and create a look that’s totally unique! Even better, in Poptropica Words, we have access to all costumes and all various parts regardless of our Poptropican’s gender.

While we’re looking at outfits, there are several new ones in the store, including: a ninja, orange-and-blue (American) football player, gothic cheerleader, and red-and-blue cheerleader!

As you can see, Skinny Moon’s definitely taking advantage of Poptropica Worlds’ customization options – what a difference! To share how you customized your Poptropican, use the hashtag #MyPoptropican on social media so the Creators can see and possibly re-post it!

Speaking of appearances, have you noticed that, as of last week, Cliff Housebuff on Home Island had a bit of a makeover? Hmm, when will we get to change our skin tones too? 😛

Also, another little update you might’ve seen in the pics above: there’s a little arrow in the corners of speech bubbles, so you can now click them to speed up dialogue!

Transferring your account now also allows you to create your look and award you 750 coins for starting a new account on Worlds.

There were other minor updates from last week as well, including: fixing Bleachy Boy/Girl (avatars missing their style and coloring), music added to the login screen, more sound effects, etc. The Creators continue to work hard to keep making Worlds better!

Well, that’s all for today. What do you think of these customization options? I personally think that being able to buy individual items is a great new feature. Sound off your opinions in the comments section.

What’s your popping Popsona? (+ Pirates of the Caribbean ad!)

Happy Lobster

Hey there, Poptropicans!

It’s Happy Lobster here, and there’s been a new post over at the Creators’ Blog – this time about our Poptropican’s Popsonas: our Poptropican’s very own persona, including backstory, personality, like and dislikes, and other small aspects that make each individual character unique!

Skinny Moon featured some of these Popsonas in the post, made by fellow Poptropicans, posted over on social media.

Funny Icicle.jpg
Hanie F.’s Popsona of Funny Icicle

“Funny Icicle is a super villain! Her name is Black Widow 2.0. She is a clone of Black Widow that was cloned at Super Villain Island, but Zeus (Professor Jupiter) upgraded it — he made a better version of Black Widow. Black Widow 2.0’s favorite island is Counterfeit Island. She wants to avenge Black Widow. She likes to steal and she likes art and fashion. She doesn’t like heroes and having friends.”

Fearless Shell.jpg
Yumgirl’s Popsona of Fearless Shell (drawn by IceSquared)

“She had a rough life… by the time she was 12 she and her father moved away to Paris, where her father grew up with her grandfather. This is also the time she met Mademoiselle Moreau, who was one of her only friends during that time. When she was 16, Fearless Shell and her family moved to San Francisco, where she developed a crush on Ned Noodlehead — she is the only one who can ignore his flaws. By the time she was 24, she was taking care of two orphaned children, Super Goose and Little Pear.”

Purple Tiger
Purple Tiger’s Popsona

“Purple Tiger is a dragon / unicorn / Poptropican hybrid who loves Star Link and Soupwords. She fights evil monsters in her downtime and loves to roller skate on top of clouds.”

Additionally, Skinny Moon included an amazing Popsona reference sheet about her character, using her new Worlds avatar!

So, what’s your unique Popsona? Well, unlike a couple of the Popsonas featured here, there’s no need to draw them – all you have to do is go the Poptropica Avatar Studio and type up your Popsona alongside your avatar’s picture!

Make sure to use the hashtag #MyPopsona when posting it – whether it be on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or other social media platforms – so that the Creators can see your very own inimitable Popsona!

In other news, there’s a new ad awaiting you over on Home Island for the upcoming Pirates of a Caribbean movie! Your trusty yellow blimp will have received a full PotC makeover, and in Amelia Earhart’s usual place will be a new Poptropican dressed in a conventional pirate costume. (Thanks to Bendy Flyer for the pic!)

You may also notice an aesthetic change to the Map which is now textured like an old treasure map as another promotion for the movie. (Thanks to Jacob_Da_Boss for the pic!)

Watch the video trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and you’ll receive a Pirate Transformation card. You can Costumize from it, plus press space bar to turn everyone into a pirate!

Alright, guys, that’s all that’s new for now. See you soon, and stay popping!

Out-of-this-World Skinny Moon and Vehicle Designs!

LJ

Hello, everyone!

Lucky Joker here with some out-of-this-World snaps, polls, and other social media paraphernalia. Let’s get into it, shall we?

Earlier this week, Skinny Moon posted this Poptropica–to–Poptropica Worlds comparison of her avatar on the Creators’ Blog. The new look sure does pop!

skinny2bmoon2b-2bpoptropica2bvs-2bpoptropica2bworlds

In her post, she credits Poptropica artist Lance (presumably Lance Fry) for her new avatar. Well done, Lance!

Skinny Moon also posted these pictures on various Poptropica social media channels before blogging about it. Be sure to follow their social media (more on that below) to see what’s new, even before the Creators (or anyone in the fandom) blogs about it!

Anyway, which Skinny Moon do you like better? (I really love both of them!) Share your thoughts in the comments.

Also on the Creators’ Blog, a “Pick your favorite Poptropica vehicle designs” poll is currently being conducted. The cut-off date is unknown, so go ahead and vote for your favorite as soon as possible, before it closes!

For the poll, they’ve asked us to pick TWO of our favorite designs, and hinted that the most popular ones may someday come to life within Poptropica Worlds!

The options at hand are: Big Wheel, Future Bike 01, Future Bike 02, Greenfire Truck, Wild Bug, and Uni-Moto.

They’ve actually shown these designs before, a few years back. These were concepts for an abandoned project called Racer Island (or as they mentioned, The Great Race).

For some unknown reason, they’ve omitted one of the vehicles from the poll – this blue “Future Bike 01” was replaced with one of the other Future Bikes from the original.

Strange. Maybe they figured they had enough Future Bikes in the mix. In any case, be sure to vote for your two favorites!

Lastly, there’s a new display of Poptropica’s social media visible at the bottom of today’s post on the Creators’ Blog. (These buttons have also been on their sidebar for some time now.) Perhaps they could go for a more modern look, though?

Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading!

Snaps of movies and merch from the Boston office

Happy Lobster

Hey there, Poptropicans!

It’s Happy Lobster, and I’ve got some brand-new, behind-the-scene pics from the Poptropica Creators’ HQ in Boston – posted on the Creators’ Snapchat and Instagram – to go through with you!

First off are some movie posters with a theme of Zomberries. “Zombies in Paradise” is currently showing in the common room of Zomberry Island, where the “Manatee” poster also dwells. “You are what you eat” is a promo poster you can download and print off from the Zomberry Island tour page. Hopefully they may yet appear in the somewhat new theater on Home Island!

More on wall decor, there’s the Poptropican Lance Pitcher from Mocktropica (who features in several sneak peeks) with Poptropica-themed boards and a Shark Tooth toy pack, seen in greater depth in the next snap with the hashtag #oldschool, probably because it was first made available in 2011.

We also get a look at three blimp toys, which according to the caption may be the last three in stock! Speaking of inflatable blimp toys, Skinny Moon has one in her home office, along with the Cool Kid and Dr. Hare plushies and a Galactic Hot Dogs poster featuring Princess Dagger alongside a very appropriate caption.

Finally, back at Poptropica HQ is a print comprising of several buildings and objects from all over Poptropica, with buildings from Monster Carnival, Escape From Pelican Rock, Mystery Train, Super Power, Mocktropica, Game Show and Twisted Thicket, and items from Mythology, Cryptids, PoptropiCon, Mystery of the Map, Night Watch, Legendary Swords and Mocktropica (well, let’s just say a lot of islands were featured in this big amalgamation!). They should totally make this print available for us to use!

Alright, guys, that’s all that’s new for now. See you soon, and stay popping!

Home Island, Islands of the Month, Social Media, Super Power Island

Super sketches, snowy spring, and bingo games

Brave Tomato

Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and I’m here with good Poptropica stuff for you all today!

To start, as we know, Super Power is one of the two Islands of the Month for the month of March. And since that is the case, we get to see behind the scenes sketches from the production of that Island! Although we have seen some of these sketches before, there are some new ones in the mix. Check them out below (click to enlarge images):

Interestingly enough, according to the Creator’s Blog post, these are sketches are from a Poptropica artist named Lance. Well, there’s one Creator that we know of that has that name: Lance Fry! Even though it’s kinda hard not to stop chuckling at Crusher’s over-sized arms and chest, these sketches do give quite the insight on Poptropica’s development in 2008.

In other news, over here in the East Coast of the US, nature decided that the definition of “almost spring” weather is not sunshine and decent temperatures – instead we’re getting snow! Skinny Moon lamented this over on Snapchat, yet at the same time, has hyped up the new Movie Theater on Home Island. What will come of it? We’ll just have to wait and see…

Finally, just for fun, Skinny Moon also posted a bingo game on Poptropica’s various social media channels! Check it out below:

Bingo

Within the bingo cards are not only in-game/multitasking parts, but also community-related activities, like “hang out in a Poptropica Discord chat”!

Does anybody have a bingo? Or two? Did anybody black out the board? Let us know! Plus, share your bingo board with Poptropica and they’ll feature it on social media!

BT out!
