Top 5 Most Poppin’ Costumizables in Poptropica

Hey folks, Cobalt here!

Today, I’ll be counting down the top five most extraordinary, poppin’ customizable items in the fascinating world of Poptropica! Before we start, I’d like to add a disclaimer: These are all just my opinion.

Of course, there are also really cool items that aren’t customizable, but considering not everyone enjoys glitching, I feel it’s safer to go focus on customizables. But if popular demand demands a glitch based version of this, I’m definitely up for it. In the meantime, our ASG page does have lots of glitchable outfits.

Anyway, without further ado… here are my top five favorite extraordinary costume pieces on Poptropica!

#5 Dr. Hare’s Secret Lair: The Customizable Beard

Besides Cryptids, this is the only costumizable beard in Poptropica, and it looks super awesome. It also kind of looks like the Bat Man logo. Regardless, a cool item, and definitely deserves to be on this list!

#4 S.O.S. Island: The Money Hat

Honestly dudes, this hat is totally cash. I actually really like it a lot, and it’s free of charge, ironically. 😉

#3 Haunted House: The Witch Nose

Not only is it the only actual customizable nose in Poptropica (besides the goofy glasses, or fake noses from the Store), it also looks super cool around Halloween, and is constantly used in costume contests here on the PHB! Try dying your skin green and wearing it. Spooky! 😉

#2 PoptropiCon Episode 1: Cyclops Night Vision Goggles

This gives me really awesome sci-fi vibes. I’m a huge fan either these as laser goggles, night vision goggles, whatever the heck they are! They are definitely a sight for sore eyes. 😉

#1 Mythology Island: The Minotaur Outfit

This looks like something you just shouldn’t be able to customize. The fact it is customizable amazes me, and I really like minotaurs! Dye yourself white, black, brown, whatever – it looks beast! 😉

That concludes my opinions on the top five best customizable items! Do you agree with me? What are your favorite customizable items? Comment below! 😛

Until next time Poptropicanos!

The Blake bomb has been defused. Shutdown in 3… 2… 1…

Hey Poptropicans, it’s Blake, and… I have some bad news.

It’s been a long time coming, but I believe now it’s finally time for me to make this announcement. Poptropicans, as much as I hate to say this, it’s time for me to move on. I’ve grown up. I’ve lost interest. People always do at some time. But I’m proud to have had the opportunity to grow alongside you, every step of the way. We’ve been together for almost 3 years now, can you believe it?

I’d like to take the time to acknowledge everyone who’s helped me along the way. Anyway, here goes the hard part…

To Fishy, HP, Sam, the entire lot of you.. thanks for being my family.

To the fans, thank you for being there with me, no matter what happens. You are all as much of a part of the PHB as I am.

Well, it looks like we don’t have that much longer left together.. I thank you all for reading my posts these past few years.

And for what it’s worth, I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride.

Who knows, maybe I’ll be back one day to grace your screens once more.

But for now, this is Blake, signing off for the last time.

And as always….

…Stay popping, Poptropicans.

Orb Legend: Teaser Trailer

Hi Gs,

I know, I know – I said in the last Orb Legend update that I wouldn’t post any more about the game – but this is just so big of an update, and I can’t help myself from informing you guys.

The teaser trailer for Orb Legend is finally released, featuring music by Kat, art by Feng, and voiceover by Giant Hawk! Everyone who has seen it has been extremely excited after doing so. I encourage you to watch the glorious 47-second clip. While you’re at it, subscribe to the Orb Legend channel so you can be the first to know about new trailers.

Contain your excitement. The first installment of OL we’re hoping to get out by mid summer. 😀

Sidenote: go follow us on Game Jolt! The first demo will be uploaded there! 🙂

Island of the Apes (Monkey Wrench is live!)

Hi Gs,

Big news today (surprising at that) – Monkey Wrench Island, whose name was literally just verified yesterday, is now live and accessible via Home Island!

Update: Our Monkey Wrench Island Guide is now up, with pictures – check it out!

It doesn’t have an icon on the map yet, so you’ll need to prompt the quest by talking to the pilot, Amelia Earheart (after the historical figure!). She’s standing where the blimp would be on Home Island’s Main Street – now with a rusty aircraft.

The island is short and sweet. As it is an island quest for beginners, it consists of a simplistic plot: you and Amelia Earheart are in a race with a bunch of other explorers – but a cheating villain known as Red Baroness knocks you off course, and you land on Monkey Wrench Island. You’ll find a myriad of monkeys, and a lazy inventor named Crusoe.

What I think most of us will like about this island is the explanation for how the player gets the blimp. This has been a mystery and topic of discussion for years, and I’m glad the mystery has finally been solved.

Strangely enough, the Creators have not said a word since its release! However, the characters you meet in this adventure can currently be found running across the login screen.

welcome monkeyw

Also update worthy: the SUI GUI (soo-ee goo-ee) has been updated with new icons, including the new Map one we saw earlier (the Friends and Costumizer buttons have also been updated). I like them!

Engineering with a Monkey Wrench

(Hey Poptropicans! Today’s news is brought to you in a guest post by Tall Cactus, who also runs her own Poptropica blog and frequently visits the PHB chat now on Discord. Hope you enjoy! –slantedfish)

Hello Poptropicans! It’s me, Tall Cactus, and I have some news to share with you!

First of all, the name of the mysterious upcoming island has finally been revealed. If you go to your medallion list, you’ll see this… Yup, its name is Monkey Wrench Island! 

monkey wrench island

Now, this could be a code name that may later change, but either way, I was not expecting that. I thought it would be called something like Castaway Island. Maybe we’ll get an official announcement sometime this week about what’s likely to be the new tutorial upgrade!

In other news, in celebration of National Engineers Week, Poptropica is offering 300 credits for first-time completions of various science-themed islands! That’s twice as much as the usual 150! The special islands are Steamworks, Lunar Colony, Shrink Ray, and Virus Hunter Island, and again, it must be your first time finishing them to win the extra credits. (Click the island names for guides!)

However, this ends on February 27th (Saturday), so make sure to get the extra credits if you can! You could win up to 1200 credits for these four islands! I, on the other hand, have already completed all of those islands, so I get nothing.

300 credits

That’s all for now. See you guys soon!
