More Land creations & Poptropica tweets

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! Have you checked out the PHB’s Poptropica Land contest yet? Blake will be accepting entries until September 5th, but if you have yet to pull together something awesome, check out this new set of Land creations posted on Poptropica’s Twitter – which this time credited its makers: Mad Tiger, Hyper Drummer, and Striped Fox! (Click to enlarge pics.)

Speaking of Poptropica’s Twitter… they finally followed us back! 😀 (The PHB is @Poptropica_Help on Twitter, and we tweet links to the Creators’ as well as our own latest blog posts!)

pop retweet

Poptropica likes to tweet out various Poptropica fansites/creations, reply to questions, among other things, like the #IceBucketChallenge with villains mentioned in BT’s post earlier.

Here’s another tidbit: PHB reader Nameless UnDEFiNed recently asked about the top 10 island finishers that used to get shoutouts on the Creators’ Blog, and Poptropica has responded saying that it stopped with the launch of the World Champions maps, but that they’ll discuss it again — maybe something will come of it? 😛

In other news, two of our PHB authors – Angry Wing, who joined last year, and Shaggy Tornado, who’s been posting here since 2010 – will no longer be blogging here, due to inactivity, loss of interest, and the inevitable busy-ness of school life. They will be missed! 😦

1000+ Poptropica stickers in a book: coming soon!

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! The Pop Creators have just announced that a new book, the Poptropica Ultimate Sticker Collection, will be coming soon – releasing in the US starting July 21 and currently available for pre-order on Amazon for US$11.69. Here’s a preview of the cover and an inside page:

Though if you’ve been following the PHB, you may remember that HPuterpop discovered the sticker book’s cover back in April – and not only that, he discovered that the graphic was already used somewhere before. (You can read more about it in his post.) Whether it was for the sticker book or not, we don’t know, but half of what’s now the book cover design has been around for quite some time! 😛

TimeTravelStickerBook

Anyway, this ultimate sticker book boasts an impressive offer of over 1,000 re-usable full-color stickers, and as we can see from the preview “24 Carrot” page, some info about each sticker graphic as well. There’s even some new information that doesn’t appear in-game: the mayor’s name is McTeague and the waitress is called Flo. I wonder what else will be new in this book?

Also, check out the latest tweet on Poptropica’s official Twitter: it’s an image from this very site, the Poptropica Help Blog, which means they’ve been visiting us! 😀 And there’s my Poptropican! 🙂 It’s from about five months ago, taken from Blake’s post back in January about Cosmoe from the Funbrain graphic novel Galactic Hot Dogs appearing in a common room.

Cool, eh? Stay popping, Poptropicans. 😉

Recap: Pop Portraits S1 finale livestream & PHB 12M hits party!

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

If you’ve been keeping up with my recent posts, then you’ll know that the Poptropican Portraits Season 1 Finale Livestream has commenced — maybe you attended. 😉 You can watch the recorded livestream below, featuring me with PHB author Blake and ATP blog owner Spotted Dragon. 😀

A couple things happened in the livestream that were note worthy — first of all, my main account (puterpop) was hacked during the livestream, and I wasn’t able to log in. It was randomized frequently while hacked, but don’t worry — I got my account back and it was fine. 😉

I also got through three (uncolored) creators, leaving Tracy West for later — but do not worry. I’ll make a speed art coloring all of them and finishing Tracy in a video on my Youtube Channel soon. 🙂

Also, hope you had fun at the PHB’s Poptropica/PHC party for our 12 million hits (if you attended) while enjoying the livestream! 😀 UPDATE: Here’s the finished product!

Poptropican Portraits: details for the season 1 finale livestream

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

As stated recently, I’m going to be hosting a livestream as a finale for season 1 of Poptropican Portraits — and the details are decided! This event also coincides with the PHB’s Poptropica party this Saturday for our recent milestone of 12 million hits, so we hope you can make it for a couple hours of fun on the PHC, Poptropica, and Google+! 😀

The livestream and Poptropica party will be on the 14th of June (3 days from now), and will start at 4pm EST, ending at 6pm EST. The reason for the extra hour is because this livestream will be a little different than the rest — I’m going to be drawing 4 of the creators in real life as Poptropicans!

As for special guests, yes there will be two of them. Because I’m not going to be drawing Poptropicans from the community, there’s no username form, but you can vote below to choose the 4 Poptropica Creators you want to be seen drawn! You’ll find the livestream here when the time comes. 😛

Again, this will be happening along with the PHB’s Poptropica party for our dozen million hits, so come out to watch the Poptropican Portraits livestream on Google+ as well as chat with Poptropicans on the PHC and hang out in Multiverse rooms!

I’ll see you there! 🙂

Poptropica on social media: Google+ page!

Samwow5

Hey everyone! You know how Poptropica’s Facebook page has resurfaced? Well, I looked on Poptropica’s official Twitter and I saw that they’d tweeted a link to an official Google+ Poptropica page! So I went go check it out, and it’s awesome!

popgoogle

It’s basically the Creator’s Blog, but on G+; the only advantages of G+ is that you can re-post their posts to your own G+, and you can set up your G+ settings to get emails when they make a new post — the downside is that you can’t comment on their posts, similar to the Creator’s Blog.

They have 145 followers so far and the first post was made on the 15th of May (not too long ago). Like the Facebook page, Poptropica’s Google Plus is meant for fans of ages 13 and up, but unlike the Facebook page, you can see the list of people who “have them in circles”, which can lead to personal profiles.

Anyway, don’t forget Survival; Ep.3: Distress Signal is coming out on Thursday! 🙂
