Merry Christmas and happy holidays, Poptropicans! 🎄🎅

Or, as Santa-Myron Van Buren would say, “Tally ho-ho-ho!” (You can thank Purple Claw for that joke.) If only Survival Island featured such a battle cry – it certainly has the weather for it!

Anyway, for those of you who came out to our 2016 Holiday Party this weekend, we hope you had a blast! The PHB team had a lot of frosty fun hanging out with everyone on the PHC (our Discord chat server) and various Poptropica Multiverse rooms, playing games and admiring Christmas costumes. You can check out a selection of them in the recap collage above, as well as in the recap video below!

As the video shows, life is popping in the Poptropica community, and for those of you who are still lurking in the shadows, hopefully this PHC promo encourages you to dip your toes in a little further and join in the fun! The PHC is always open for Poptropicans to hang out and chat about anything, even when we’re not currently throwing a party (you could even throw your own!).

Once again, the PHB team would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy holiday season! Thanks for reading and supporting this blog, and as always, stay popping! ❤️

Advertisements, Creators, Social Media

Middle School is fecal. Check out this decal!

Hello, everyone!

Lucky Joker here, sharing with you, an awesome ad along with a new snap from the Poptropica Creators! Let’s pop right into it, shall we?

This is an ad for the movie Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life based off the book. We’ve seen this advertised in the past, but it has reappeared because of the DVD release and soon-to-be Blu-Ray release on January 3rd, 2017. In addition to that, there are also new prizes to be earned!

poptropica_middle-school-the-worst-years-of-my-life

As for finding the ad, I had a difficult time trying to do so, but hopefully you won’t have as much trouble. I found the ad on Early Poptropica Island, so hopefully that helps. 😉

Upon entering the ad, you’ll see Rafe, who’ll invite you in. Go inside and talk to Rafe, who has covered the entire hallway with sticky notes! Shortly after talking to Rafe, Principle Dwight will come running along, and a game will load onto your screen.

The objective of the game is simple and its concept is pretty similar to the Pete’s Dragon ad. You simply have to click and drag your mouse to the right of the screen to run, and jump over the obstacles – book, chairs and sporting equipment that are casually lying around in the hallway.

Once you’ve run and jumped long enough, you’ll reach the end point of the hallway. Assuming Principle Dwight has been completely wiped out through all of that, you’ll win the Tricky Chicken and the Slime Gun cards! Congratulations!

Moving on now, Poptropica’s social media manager, Skinny Moon, is back to snapchatting (@PoptropicaSC) and has added this cool snap to her story:

The Poptropica Creators sure do love zombies, as seen in Poptropica’s HQ tour.

Plus, the Snapchat name has been changed from Official Poptropica to Popgirljess, which is Skinny Moon’s Poptropica username. And if you’re on Instagram, you can find snaps on Poptropica’s story there, too.

In other news, the Poptropica Creators have wished all of us Poptropicans a happy holidays and restful break from school (which I so desperately need) in their latest blog post – how kind! Another interesting thing about the post is that there are two Poptropica Creators, Skinny Moon and Captain Crawfish, labeled below the post – neato!

Perhaps the most interesting part is this last statement:

“Here at Poptropica we’re not taking TOO much of a break, though. Next week we’re going to have some very interesting stuff to talk about on the blog… so stay tuned!”

What do you think they mean by this? Perhaps the creators are hinting at New Poptropica! Maybe some sneak peeks, more information or even its release? It seems unlikely, but maybe a holiday miracle will soon occur…?

Happy holidays and thanks for reading! Pop on!

15 Poptropica Characters That Truly POP!

Slanted Fish

(Hey Poptropicans! This is a guest post written by Teen Arachnid, in which he shares his favorite Poptropica characters. Note that this post is purely his opinion. With that said, enjoy! –🐠)

pop15-chars

Hey y’all! It’s Teen Arachnid, and I’m here to share my Top (or Pop) 15 favorite Poptropica characters! The list will include their names (of course), pictures, and what Islands they appear on. I’d like to thank the PHB’s Poptropica Wiki for most of my information and the pictures.

This will be a list that goes by in descending order, from 15 (favorite) to 1 (FAVORITE!) Players like you and me are not qualified for this list. Before I begin, here are some honorable mentions (HMs) that didn’t make it to my top fifteen…

HM: Hestia (Mythology Island)

Since she is in statue form on Mythology Island, I had to put her in Honorable Mention. However, if she was in normal Poptropican form, she would’ve been in my Top 3. Why? Because Hestia is one of my favorite Greek gods, mainly because many people don’t know or like her, which makes me feel sympathetic. Plus, she is the Greek goddess of hearth, which means “floor of fireplace”, which means warmth during the cold times – isn’t that awesome?

hestia

HM: Tessa Turncoat (PoptropiCon, Episodes 1–3)

I used to be obsessed with this character, but not so much now. However, since I used to adore her, I had to give her a spot in Honorable Mention.

tessa-turncoat

HM: Bearded Townie (Cryptids Island)

Even though he is just a normal civilian, I just always loved seeing him on the Main Street of Cryptids Island. Plus, I love his simple but stylish design.

bearded-townieNow, onto the main part of the list….

15: Flo (24 Carrot Island)

Flo, the waitress in the Carrot King Diner, is really cool. She reminds me of the classic sassy waitress in the old-timey diners. Also, she carries a pitcher of milk! I love milk!

 

flo

14: Queen of Arturus (Astro Knights Island)

The Queen of Arturus is kinda cool. I just adore her costume and design. Not to mention, she is royalty! Obey the queen! Hmmm… Hashtag moment! Comment down below #ObeyTheQueen if you think the Queen of Arturus is cool.

queen

13: Omegon (PoptropiCon Episodes 2-3 & Photo Booth)

Omegon is pretty cool. I love his overall design, and his role in PoptropiCon Island.

12: Donna Disco (Zomberry Island & Home Island Photo Booth)

Donna Disco is my favorite Zomberry! I love her dress and large hair. When I make a photo in the Photo Booth on Home Island, I like to include her.

11: Red Baroness (Monkey Wrench Island)

I like the Red Baroness. She seems cool. I like her design, and I especially like the goggles piece around her neck. Wait, Poptropicans don’t have necks. Then how do they breathe? Uh….

redbaroness

10: Sir Gawain (Astro-Knights Island)

Sir Gawain is my favorite knight out of the three knights from Astro-Knights Island. I love his ice-themed design.

9: Sally Score (Reality TV Island)

Sally Score is my favorite contestant on Reality TV Island. I love her jersey!

8: Scheherazade (in genie form) (Arabian Nights, Episode 3 & Photo Booth)

I love Scheherazade in her genie form! It looks AWESOME! That’s all I got to say about her.

7: Tunnel of Love Worker (Monster Carnival Island)

This is my favorite carnie from Monster Carnival. I love his hair and his cool costume. I even love how he turned into a puppet-like monster at nightfall.

tunnelofloveguy

6: Binary Bard (in Princess Elyana disguise) (Astro-Knights Island)

Binary Bard’s disguise as the princess is so awesome and hilarious at the same time! Plus, it has a purple and yellow color scheme. And you’ll know why I like those colors when you see my #1 favorite character.

bbprincess5: Aeolus (Mythology Island)

While Aeolus isn’t my favorite Greek Mythology character, I still love his design in Poptropican form! His hair looks cool, because it looks like it is being waived by the wind: fitting for a dude selling bags of wind.

aeolus

4: Bonsai Wu (Red Dragon Island & Photo Booth)

Bonsai Wu is awesome! I love her clothing, and her design is so cute! She is a cute little old lady! I love old people!

bonsai-wu

3: Winston (Survival Island, Episodes 4 & 5)

Though Winston the butler may be Myron Van Buren’s henchman and an evil dude, I still love him! For two reasons. First of all, I LOVE OLD PEOPLE! And second of all, I like how he shows that even the oldest, most “innocent” looking, cutest, loyal-acting person can turn out to be EVIL!

winston2: Mr. Silva (Shrink Ray Island)

Mr. Silva is awesome! I loved his role in Shrink Ray Island. I also love his overall design.

mr-silva

And finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. My favorite Poptropican is…

SKYSCRAPER POLICEMAN!!! – SUPER POWER ISLAND

policeman

Just kidding. The winner, at least for me, is…

1: Teen Arachnid (PoptropiCon, Episode 2-3)

Just to clarify, I’m talking about Teen Arachnid from PoptropiCon: Episode 2, not my Poptropican, which I named after him. I like Teen Arachnid’s color scheme, him being a parody of Spider-Man, and, well, uh…. I can’t think of anything else. But I love him!

teenarachnid

Also, I’d like to extend a congratulations to Perfect Sky and Happy Lobster for becoming PHB authors!

One more thing, I just wanted to say that I wrote this guest post a week after my grandfather and great uncle died, so this guest post is in remembrance of them.

That’s all for this post! Share in the comments who YOUR favorite Poptropica characters are!
