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!

Movie Theater: Coming Soon!

Perfect Sky

Hey everyone, it’s Perfect Sky.

As I logged on to Poptropica this morning, I noticed that something pretty exciting – with a very bright, eye-catching design – had just popped up on Home Island: a Movie Theater!

“Movies” coming soon to Home Island? Yup, that’s what it looks like, and I have a few guesses as to what these movies could be. But before we get into the theories, shoutout to Fierce Flyer for being the first blogger to notice and post about this update!

Now, we don’t know what exactly this will entail, but the wheel guy beside it has hinted that whatever it is, it’ll be free (though not the popcorn):

Now, while we’re waiting for the theater to open, let’s take a moment to consider some possibilities for the content of the movies.   

Island Trailers:

Although the current map provides short written summaries for every island, and yes, I know the Creators have already made island trailers, new players would be more likely to find these trailers if they were accessible right there on Home Island. So, some (probably not all) of these movies may be already-existing island trailers.

Advertisements:

Is it really a movie theater, or just the official ad hub? This probably isn’t the case, but I’ve seen many other online games add “movie theaters” filled with advertisement videos and nothing else, where watching an ad gives the player some kind of prize. If the Pop movie theater does feature ad videos, hopefully it will be in addition to other movies. If not, then  I’m sure the Creators could at least think of some awesome prizes.

Poptropica Cartoons:

It would be pretty cool if the movie theater had cartoons, not necessarily following the plot of any island, starring classic Pop characters. Also, the Creators might even use this as an opportunity to introduce new characters, whether those characters would eventually appear in future islands or just movies.

Previously Mentioned Movies:

The theater may feature some movies that have already been mentioned previously through in-game posters, such as “Night of the Living Carrots.”

previously mentioned pop movies

It’s also possible that the same movies won’t be playing all the time. Just as the availability of certain items in the Poptropica Store rotates in a cycle, it may be the same for movies.

Some things to consider

Regardless of what these movies consist of, there are a few things to consider in order to keep any expectations more realistic.

  • The Creators obviously can’t make long, complex, full length films free of charge, so these movies definitely wouldn’t be very long.
  • Although movie tickets are apparently free according to the guy by the wheel, popcorn, which I’m assuming would be a handheld item players can carry around, costs “like a bazillion coins.” Since credits are much easier to obtain in larger quantities now, it makes sense that there would be some kind of other fee to pay upon entering the theater, but this would probably only apply to non-members. The theater itself is free, but any other items available for purchase within the theater may be really expensive.
  • The theater probably won’t have many movies available on opening day. I mean, it could, but I wouldn’t be surprised if only a few movies release at first, and if new movies only release one at a time. After all, the Creators are also busy with much bigger projects like Poptropica Worlds.

Well that’s all for my theories, and of course, I may be totally wrong. Share your thoughts on the movie theater in the comments below!

Store

Don’t panic; they’re bringing back the classics!

Slippery Raptor

yeah

Slip here. 👋

I can’t believe it as well! Poptropica has brought back old costumes and power cards! Let’s check out the items they’ve brought back, starting from the power cards!

First off, they’ve brought back the prizes from 2015’s Daily Pop-In: the Fart Gun and the Twin Power. You may remember these prizes from past ads like Despicable Me and Liv and Maddie. If you would track their first appearance, they are actually from a few years back (around 3 years ago). They’re quite perfect for Multiverse parties, and you’re quite lucky if you have these items for free because the Fart Gun costs 500 credits, while the Twin Power costs 300.

Not only the prizes from the Daily Pop-In returned but as well as the Shrink Ray gun from 2011! Well, it also made its re-appearance in 2014 in honor of Shrink Ray Island’s re-release as a sound-updated island (SUI). Still, it’s a classic! Like the items mentioned above, some of you are lucky enough to grab this for free for the Shrink Ray now costs 500 credits! It’s twice as much as its original price!

comeback

Moving on to the costumes, Poptropica has brought back the Graduate and the prom outfits for all! What an awesome way to prepare for the graduation and prom seasons to come! The Ice Cream costume also returned to mark the coming of summer in some countries!

Along with that, a myriad of comeback outfits returned for girls at the Poptropica Store. Most of them are from classic Poptropica and some returned from years of being gone from the Store itself! To name a few, they are the Southern Belle, Pop Star, Wrestling Gear, and the Creepy Countess! Check out the other costumes below! (Click the images to enlarge them.)

…and that is basically what’s in store for you next time you drop by the Poptropica Store! Make sure to stock up on credits by replaying March’s IotMs or spinning the Wheel of Fortune every day! Also, don’t forget to grab the Spring freebies and the St. Patrick’s Day gifts while they’re around! :))

Don’t forget to like or comment, okay? Stay awesome!

bye

Hello, everyone!

Lucky Joker here, with some Super Power Island behind-the-scenes, blogging tips from Skinny Moon, and recapping a quick Skinny Moon visit to the PHC!

Today, Skinny Moon posted these behind-the-scenes sketches (as well as on Tumblr) onto her Snapchat story – featuring some highly-detailed sketches of characters and backgrounds from Super Power Island (one of March’s Islands of the Month). Tip: Click any of the images to make them larger.

Skinny Moon’s been coming to chat on the PHC more often, lately, and at around 12:30 p.m. (ET) on Tuesday, she popped in and shared her latest post from the official Poptropica Tumblr blog.

In the post, she gives a few tips on how to promote your blog. So go read it on Poptropica’s Tumblr if you’re interested!

That shading on her avatar, though. 👌 I guess that’s technically another Worlds sneak peek!
