Spilling the tea on Amelia’s mini quest โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Giant Dragon, with screenshots from the PHB’s Slanted Fish. Enjoy!

Hel-lo Poptropicans! GD aka Giant Dragon here. A brand new mini-quest just dropped โ€” let’s take a look!

First, we have to talk to Amelia on Home Island. She’s got a question mark on her head. When we talk to her, she says she hasn’t introduced herself properly, and invites us to tea at her house, which is on the floor above Adventure Outfitters. (Wow, two floors!)

Excuse all the Paw Patrol: The Movie ads you’re going to see along the way. Inside the store, to the right, you’ll see a secret doorway leading to the second floor. Go on, click enter. Thenโ€ฆ

Ta-da, she has her own clubhouse! (And I have to admit, it’s cute.) But first, breaking news: Amelia owns Home Island! According to her, she bought the deed to Home Island with the money she got from her adventures. Oh wow!!

Have fun exploring her place โ€” it’s lore galore, so let’s talk about some of it! Noteworthy parts include the magical lipstick from Fairytale Island, a cute kitchen, and photographs of flying with Xavier and defeating the Red Baron (the rivalry runs deep!). Does anything else seem a bit familiar to you here? Looks like she’s been to Escape from Pelican Rock Island and gotten her own dummy head made!

Now as for the mini-quest, Amelia will tell you she’s missing some cargo that got lost on Survival Island, just a short ride away from Home Island on the map. Apparently she’s afraid of a certain sky pirate…

Make your way to Survival Island and head right to the second scene. There, you’ll find a box overstuffed with unicorn goodies on one of the snowcapped rock ledges. Take the Lost Cargo and return to Amelia’s!

Realizing you saw what was inside (I mean, girl, it is overflowing), Amelia will blush hard in an anime-like, sweat drop animation sequence never before seen in Poptropica. UwU or OwO? ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜ณ

Anyway, she’ll give you 1,000 credits and a unicorn plushie dรฉcor for your clubhouse. Look, how cute!

And have a look at Amelia’s bedroom! Unicorns galore! You can tell her whether you think they’re cute or dorky, but either way, it’s now our little secret. For now… wonder what the Baron would think?

Remember the first sneak peek we saw of this mini-quest? We now get to see the final version! Too bad the identities of the others featured remains a mystery. Or is the one on the right the Baron?

Did you see the Crisis Caverns trophy from Poptropica Worlds? It seems your character doesnโ€™t know what that “thing” is, so what do you think is the reason? The comments section is all yours…

  • Old islands erasure? ๐Ÿ˜ฅ
  • Hey, matching sweatshirts! ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

Thatโ€™s it from me today. Keep your eyes popped for my future posts. Bye!!!

We quest in “dru” time ๐Ÿงโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ›ฉ๏ธ

Gentle Dolphin

Hey, Poptropicans! Time to check out the newest stuff Poptropica has to offer. We have costumes, comics, stories, and even quests. Let’s go!

Last week, Poptropica made an Instagram post featuring a costume that had yet to grace the Pop store. Now, with the latest store update, the Forest Druid costume is available for purchase! This magical costume has a little bit of everything for everyone โ€” if by “everyone” you mean members. ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ™ƒ

The end of the store update post added, “Does the latest costume remind you of anything?” As far as I can tell, this costume appears to be based on Devoted Druid from the card game “Magic: The Gathering.” Both have similar cloaks and headpieces, but the Poptropica version has more foliage. Is this the right costume, or is there one more identical?

Next, Part 3 of Muddy Kid’s fan comic The Adventures of Ruby is now up on the Pop Creators’ Blog! Check out the first two parts to catch up on the story. In this month’s issue, Ruby sets off on a quest and earns her first pretend medallion. Click to enlarge the comic panels:

Finally, the Creators shared some new stuff on their latest Instagram stories. The first two stories highlight some great clips of Black Widow as if she were in an Ace Attorney game, and the third story shows a sneak peek of the Dimension Bros’ Poptropica Month video upload schedule.

However, the fourth and final story is the big one, announcing that Amelia’s mini quest is out now!

That’s all for now! What do you think the Forest Druid costume is based on? Any guesses for what the Dimension Bros are planning for Pop Month? Let us know in the comments below!

Stay tuned for our post covering Amelia’s mini quest. Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Pop Merch Review: Sticker Haul โœจ

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, we’re back with more merch to review! In addition to the lovely Dr. Hare button, I also ordered some stickers from the official Poptropica Zazzle store. Check out the haul:

The stickers were custom made by Zazzle and arrived in a cardboard envelope.

As you can see, I got six stickers: the 8-bit Dr. Hare and Dr. Beev from Hoptropica, the iconic Poptropica blimp, the classic Time Tangled Island, the mid-stage Survival Island, and the fresh Fairytale Island. ๐Ÿ

The Zazzle store has plenty more stickers, though, including logos of fictional businesses, and beloved characters from Fairytale Island. ๐Ÿบ

At a couple dollars apiece, and with Zazzle’s constant sales, the total of my six stickers came out to around US$12 (not counting international shipping, which was another ~$7 for me). If it’s your first time, you can get a free trial of Zazzle Black, which gives you free shipping in the US.

Anyway, on with the review! I’ll be going through these based on where I decided to stick these adhesive beauties. Let’s start with my laptop, where I placed Dr. Hare with Survival Island. ๐Ÿฐ๐ŸŒฉ (Hey, if this bunny can fling himself to space, he can hop anywhere and survive!)

Pink bunny boi on pink laptop? Yes.

Love the color combos here! Still, each sticker ran smaller than I’d anticipated: Dr. Hare was supposed to be 2″x2″, but was more like 1.25″x1.25″, while Survival Island was meant to be 3″x3″, but ended up 2.5″x1.75″. So if you’re planning to order a sticker, keep that in mind when you’re deciding what size to get! (Size options range from a tiny 2″x2″ to an extra-large 14″x14.”)

Next up we have the Dr. Beev sticker! ๐Ÿฆซ As with the above, Beev was supposed to be 2″x2″, but in reality was closer to 1.75″x1.25″. He was also the only one which I got printed on glossy transparent paper, so the white parts are negated and you can see through to the surface where he’s placedโ€”in this case, my green iPad. Looking good!

Leave it to Beev.

Finally, we have the blimp and two more island stickers, Time Tangled and Fairytale. These are printed on regular matte white paper, so they come with a white outline. (You can choose the paper.)

Again, size runs small: the blimp was meant to be 2″x2″ but was really 1.5″x1.25″, while the islands were both supposedly 3″x3″ but varied, with Time Tangled being 2.5″x2″ and Fairytale being 2.5″x3″. Clearly the design shapes the size, with Fairytale looking large in its max height of 3″ while Time Tangled has a flatter design and ends up shorter.

Anyway, I plastered these pretty pieces onto my cardboard file boxes. Now I can go through my files like I’m traveling through the islands!

It’s kind of like the Poptropica map come to life, in miniature.

So that’s all six stickers! They’re all printed with pretty decent quality, are easy to use, and will look great wherever you want to stick them. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Thanks to the Poptropica Creators for sponsoring this post! And thanks for sticking with me through this sticker haul review. Check out more merch reviews here on the PHB, and stay awesome!

Pop Merch Review: Vintage Bandana ๐Ÿงฃ๐Ÿ˜ท

Spotted Dragon

Hey Poptropicans! Today, I’m bringing you a quick review of the Vintage Poptropica Bandana from the official Poptropica Zazzle Store.

The product is available in two sizes: kids/small (18″ x 18″) and adult/large (22″ x 22″). Both options feature the classic blue Poptropica throw pattern. It costs US$18.95 and is made of “100% spun polyester,” making it really lightweight and breathable. The material is pretty smooth and reminds me a lot of a cotton bedsheet.

I have always loved this pattern and I’m excited to see it on so many products in Poptropica’s merch store. You can also get it on leggings, a face mask, a puzzle, or a skateboard!

One thing that does disappoint me: the pattern is only printed on one side of the cloth. The back of the bandana is a thin heather white. Though I wish the pattern continued on both sides, it was not a surprise.

I will also say that the pattern’s images are a bit larger than I originally expected! Not a drawback by any means, just something to note. I’m pretty impressed with the quality of the print.

  • folded bandana, front and back corner

Overall, I’m quite satisfied with this item. Though thin, the feel and quality of the cloth is great, and I obviously love the pattern.

Thanks to the Poptropica Creators for sponsoring this post! They gifted the PHB a Zazzle gift card so we could share these reviews with you guys. Check out the PHBโ€™sย Merchandise Guide for more product info! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Stay classic, Poptropicans!

Clubhouse Crawl, Fan Art Features, Social Media

Knock knock, Clubhouse Crawl ๐Ÿ ๐ŸŒ™

Slanted Fish

Heyo, Poptropicans! Today on the docket we have one clubhouse crawl, two TikTok tapes, and three fan art features. Let’s pop that door open…

…and step right into this cozy crib from Golden Moon! This fuchsia furnished home is the first to be featured in a new series from the Pop Creators called “Clubhouse Crawl.” You can find all the sweet snaps on the official blog as well as a quick video on their Instagram!

The Clubhouse Crawl feels somewhat like the PHB’s Clubhouse Tours, but instead of Pop homeowners showing off their own spaces, the Pop Creators are randomly picking places to pop into and write about! According to the blog, no submissions are necessary to be featuredโ€”just work on decorating your dwelling and you never know when someone might pop in for a peek. For now, check out Golden Moon’s!

(Though if you do want to share your hangout in your own words, you can always send in a guest post for the PHB!)

Next up on the clock are two clips from Poptropica’s TikTok! First, for International Dog Day on August 26, we get a neon green pupper trying on various pet items to the classic jam “Who Let the Dogs Out”:

#internationaldogday should be everyday ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™ which is your favorite pup? ๐Ÿฅบ #Poptropica #fashion #gaming #fypใ‚ท

โ™ฌ Who Let The Dogs Out – Original – The Doggies

And the day before, the Creators popped in with this strange filtered face meme with a voice saying, “Yes I game, I know I don’t look like your typical gamer but look…” followed by a player sneaking her way around the Pelican Rock prison. (You can also catch the clip on Twitter!)

Finally, we have a few fan art features over on Poptropica’s Instagram stories! Enjoy some classic villains and a now-completed Popsona:

That’s a wrap for this post. Keep on poppin’, Poptropicans!
