Whether it’s the PHB or Poptropica.com, these websites get updated from time to time, and these posts are here to document those developments.

Balloons just out of reach & a revamped Costumes page!

Slanted Fish

Remember when Dr. Hare promised everyone a Bunny Balloon for when Poptropica’s “Dr. Hare’s Lair” LEGO CUUSOO project reached 5,000 supporters? Well, he isn’t just offering the super-enticing Dr. Hare Deluxe Balloon…

We’re also going to get an Insignia Deluxe Balloon! These would make Balloon Boy jealous!

But hold your horses… these balloons aren’t available just yet. (Audience: “Awwww….”) Currently, the LEGO project is only at 3,900+ supporters, so keep encouraging people to vouch for it! 5,000 is not only the halfway mark for the needed 10,000 – it also means two free balloons.

When asked what Dr. Hare himself had to say, he looked the camera in the eye and said with a sincere face, “Don’t do it for me, or for the thousands of other Poptropicans who would love a couple of free balloons. Do it for yourself. You deserve something nice.”

You do deserve something nice! These balloons may not be available yet, but check out the PHB’s newly-revamped Costumes page (still listed under Cool Stuff), now with over 70 costumes (with pictures), plus commentary on how to get most of them, and even a tips section. We’ve got lots of outfit advice from fellow Poptropica fashion enthusiasts, so come and take a look!

Say cheese! Poptropica album photos now on the PHB

Slanted Fish

Album Photos

As you play through one of Poptropica’s many island adventures, the game will snap a photo of your character at certain checkpoints and you can go back and view your photos via the Photo Album on your Poptropica Friends profile. You can also browse through your friends’ photo collections and customize from what your (or your friend’s) character is wearing with the shirt button at the top.

Less is Mordred.

Most islands have 4 photos, though Early Poptropica and Super Power have 5, and Skullduggery has just 3. Only members are able to view all the photos they’ve collected, but non-members, hold on for the good news! Now on each of the PHB’s island info/trivia pages, you can take a look at every photo, witty captions included.

The Poptropica Creators’ Blog recently posted that there are currently 133 photos to amass, showing off the photo album of PHB reader Elphangor (Lone Heart), who has done just that. (That was also the post that tried to cover up the naming of Back Lot Island, but fortunately, the PHB post below will catch you up on that big scoop!)

Congrats and thanks to Elphangor (username omitted) for his achievement, which has made it possible for the PHB to take pictures of all these pictures, now available on this blog for your perusal.

Say cheeeeeese! 😀

Poptropica island trivia now on the PHB!

Slanted Fish

Island trivia

Did you know that one of the original names for Poptropica was Poptropolis? What do you think of the fact that it’s possible to have a Poptropica name that’s the same as one of the islands? And have you noticed that Gamer Guy’s drink on Zomberry Island, Valley Rain, is a parody of Mountain Dew?

The Poptropica Help Blog now has “Island Trivia” on all our island info pages, documenting all the little things about Poptropica’s islands that you may or may not have missed. Even the island release dates and common rooms are included. Hope you’ll enjoy taking a look at all the trivial details compiled within these pages! If you’ve got any good ones you think are worth mentioning, leave a comment.

Here’s another good one: the inspector’s cottage on Counterfeit Island has a sign that (mis)spells the villain’s name in French! Bet you didn’t see that coming.

In other news, the “blog” prefix has been dropped from the PHB’s URL. That means it’s now PoptropicaHelp.net – shorter to remember and still the place to go for Poptropica help and more. 😀

Hello 2013 – happy new year!

Slanted Fish

Happy new year, Poptropicans! We survived 2012 and made it through ten new islands: Ghost Story (for all), S.O.S., Vampire’s Curse, Twisted Thicket, Poptropolis Games, Wimpy Boardwalk, Lunar Colony, Super Villain, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Zomberry (for members). Poptropica added members-only bonus quests for islands starting from SOS, the much-anticipated Friends feature was released, we celebrated Poptropica’s 5th birthday and 30th island (Super Villain), Poptropica came out with 4 new books, we experienced Poptropica on the DS, tribes were given special common rooms… looking back, things have been very eventful on Poptropica! 😀

2013 should be a very exciting year as well, for the PHB, the Poptropica Help Network, Poptropica, and of course the world. For starters, I’ve put up a new fresh header for the PHB! Also, be sure to check Party With Hobos, the comedy series written by MT, on January 7 – 11 for some special unreleased episodes! 🙂

Introducing… Fuzzy-B!

Fuzzy-B

Hey guys, I’m Fuzzy-B and I am the newest author here at the PHB! I would like to thank Slanted Fish so much for letting me join the blog. This is something that I have been dreaming of since I found out about the PHB back in 2009 from friends in my class. I hope to have a lot of fun here and post a lot of good updates. You may know me from the blog I run over here. Don’t worry, I will still post over there too.

A little about me is that I am a 14-year-old boy living in the central U.S.A. I love movies, running, and Jesus. I enjoy going to concerts, listening to music, and playing Poptropica (but that is obvious). “It’s been fun but now I’ve got to go, Life is way too short to take it slow, But before I go and hit the road I gotta know, till then, When can we do this again?”

Nothing better than an Owl City quote to end a post with, eh? ;)
