Hey PHB readers! Slippery here. As you may know, there are a lot of Poptropica sneak peeks over at Twitter these past few days! Do you want to see them? Here we go!
Our first tweet is a sketch of the third episode of Arabian Nights. Looks like the genie has finally came out of her magic lamp and everyone in the lair looks very surprised to see a genie! I wonder if the lamp beside me also has magic powers… *rubs lamp*
Well, the rusty old lamp doesn’t work. *throws the lamp away*
Speaking of magical genies, Poptropica also tweeted a sneak peek of the genies we might stumble upon in the final episode. Which of them do you like best? Another thing to point out, the genies actually have ears! A Poptropica first. Poptropicans finally have ears – well, the genies at least. Also, you can find this image over on the Daily Pop!
Who’s excited for the third and final episode of Arabian Nights? Are you excited as I am? I think it’ll have a great ending!
Next, Poptropica posted several new Poptropica Realms creations over on Twitter! PHB reader Cuddly Knuckle shared his own creation as well. Looking good! Click to enlarge the images.

Is anybody out there?

Hours after the release of GHD Island, Poptropica posted a new Poptropica comic strip in which Jorge and Oliver find themselves walking down the yellow brick road — familiar? They seem to be strolling to the beautiful Land of Oz! Check out this funny comic strip:
Poor scarecrow. Who will help him?
Speaking of PopComics, the Creators also tweeted this sneak peek for the upcoming graphic novel! Oliver’s run into some big trouble with a caveman on a rushing stream of water…
That’s all of the updates we have for today! Make sure to check out PHB’s Poptropica Realms guide and the recent post on PoptropiCon’s final episode!
Hey everyone! As you may know, Galactic Hot Dogs Island was supposed to be released to members yesterday (Thursday, January 29th) but Poptropica said they had a browser problem and pushed the release to Friday, January 30th instead. Anyway, it’s out for members now! There is a demo for non-members as well.
In the meantime, check out our Behind the Scenes Overview of Galactic Hot Dogs Island, and look forward to a review of GHD coming soon. 🙂 It’s the first full island (meaning no episodes) since about a full year ago, so enjoy!
Hey everyone, and welcome back to our BTS Overview & Theory series! This time, we’ll be covering Galactic Hot Dogs Island, written by myself (Spotted Dragon), Samwow5, and HPuterpop. Be sure to check out the last BTS post, which was for Arabian Nights, Episode 2: Lair of Thieves.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW (but that’s what you want, isn’t it?)
Overview of evidence
Since there have been so many Daily Pop sneak peeks for GHD Island, we won’t list them all here, but we have listed some below. Be sure to check out our Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive page to see them all! Remember to click on the images to enlarge them.
Bounce Bounce: Dodge an asteroid or you’ll be destroyed.
Spiderland: Good morning captain.
Nest Egg: We were hoping for an empty nest.
Intergalactic: Hot dog, this is going to be an exciting adventure!
Hello: Is it me you’re looking for?
Food Stand: Instead of walk and talk, walk and chomp.
Food Court: You’ve got a date with deliciousness.
Get Animated: Things are about to get expressionistic.
Time to Crate: Thank Old Man Murray for the measurement.
Ghost Ship: We’re triangulating its position.
Depressed: It’s another one of those hot button issues.
In Between: We can fill this with our imaginations.
Between Two Ferns: Where’s the other one?
Chair Force: That’s great, kid! Don’t get cocky.
Mushroom Kingdom: Major fungal infection.
Spore: Life finds a way.
Pilot Seat: Time for your command performance.
Belt It Out: Someone get Kuiper on the line.
Fly My Pretties: Pry open the third eye and fly.
Run to the Border: You haven’t lived until you’ve had a street taco.
Mega: Coming soon to a desktop near you.
Eggscellent: You’re a shell of your former self.
Deserted: Monument valley, this isn’t.
Magic Mushrooms: These things will bounce you super high.
Let’s start out with items. Below are all the items that will be used in the quest, or at least all that we could find. They include an egg, fuel cell, fruit, gelatin salad, giant spoon, guano, map-o-sphere, the island medal, and a seed pod. What most of these items will be used for, we aren’t entirely sure, but we might be able to piece everything together later on in the post. Pretty cool items, huh? Now let’s focus on scenes and dialog. Below we have included all the important scene designs for the island.
Again, pretty cool, huh? The designs are a perfect mix of Poptropica and Galactic Hot Dogs. 🙂 We have the layout of the island down, but what about its storyline? Below we have put together all the important pieces of dialog and other text. Again, click to enlarge.
Judging by the text, we seem to start the island off in the Space Port, or at least start to meet the characters there. It also looks like we will help Cosmoe in a food truck contest among other things. We also found a major piece of music that will be used throughout the adventure. Click here to hear it! Before we wrap things up, since this island is based off something that is not Poptropica-related (Galactic Hot Dogs), there is of course going to be some sort of ad building for the franchise, like on Red Dragon Island (Magic Tree House), or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Those islands each have a building to promote the books. Below is an idea of what the GHD Store should have… in store for us.
Other than getting a glimpse at the GHD series, it seems like we will be able to customize the characters’ costumes too, since there will be mannequins inside.
Final Theory
In Galactic Hot Dogs Island, we will meet Cosmoe and Humphree and try to help them win the food truck contest. Along the way, we’ll run into trouble and meet Princess Dagger. We will most likely have to go around the island trying to help them perfect their Mega Dog and perhaps somehow bring peace to the galaxy. In our travels aboard the Neon Wiener spaceship, we’ll explore exotic planets, battle Jack-robots, and maybe even get to enjoy a hot dog. Maybe.
Remember, Galactic Hot Dogs Island is coming out Thursday, January 29 for members! It releases to everyone three weeks later, on February 19. To infinity and beyond!
Hey Poptropicans! Poptropica Realms has been out for a while now, and the Creators have even posted a few of their favorites – but if you want to learn more about what your magical hammer can do, how to level up, and more, check out the PHB’s Realms Guide!
Ok, shameless guide promotion aside…
Despite the abandonment of the Daily Pop, there have been a lot of juicy sneak peeks over on Twitter this week. In addition to the Omegon poster Blake posted, they’ve also shared a couple of comic pages for the upcoming PoptropiCon finale – Ep. 3: Reign of Omegon.
On the first page, Elf Archer attacks the villain Omegon’s charged crystal, bringing him down from the sky. The second page introduces Alphaon, a character created with the combined powers of the Mighty Action Force and possibly the kryptonite of Omegon.
Also, we finally have some release dates for P-Con! Ep. 3: Reign of Omegon comes out February 5th for members, and Feb 26th (3 weeks later) for all. GHD Island comes out this Thursday for members!
Speaking of GHD Island, the Creators also tweeted this behind-the-scenes early sketch of a flying creature we’ll be encountering, with ‘baby’ and ‘proud mama’ poses added in for good measure. Plus, stay tuned for the PHB’s BTS Overview & Theory post for Galactic Hot Dogs Island, coming very soon!
Last but not least, Poptropica tweeted this cute little Popstorm sketch (#12) with the caption “Birds of a feather….” Aw, aren’t they pretty. 😀
That’s all for now, but be sure to catch up on the posts below for the latest Poptropica news! Stay awesome, Poptropicans. 😉
Hey guys! A lot of strange things have been going on in Poptropica lately.
First of all, there is a new ad popping up called Strange Magic! The ad can be found on islands such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Main Street or in between places. All you have to do to earn your prize is watch its movie trailer. Girls get Fairy Wings and boys get a Staff and Imp costume.
If space bar is pressed while wearing the wings or staff, a short scene will play out where an imp will appear on screen and your Poptropican will fly.
Speaking of “strange”, if you’ve checked out the Daily Pops recently, you may have noticed that sneak peeks haven’t been posted on their usual schedule. In fact, there haven’t been any new sneak peeks at all this week, and a couple of days in the past couple of weeks have been skipped as well.
There have only been 9 sneak peeks in January when there should’ve been 17 at this point (one for every weekday). Here they are below:
Head Games: What’s in the box?
Iconic: More quizzes are about to pop.
Platform Neutral: Lots of interesting things go on in the shadows.
Banner Day: Let your freak flag fly.
Waxing: And working on some night moves.
Depressed: It’s another one of those hot button issues.
Way Back Week: Binary Bard’s dreams come to life on Super Villain Island.
Way Back Week: The robot revolution begins on Game Show Island.
Goats Beware: One more throwback. We’re back for real tomorrow.
The most recent image was Head Games: What’s in the box? and was uploaded on January 16. It seems to be for Galactic Hot Dogs Island, but that’s not the point. 😛
Even though the Daily Pop schedule has been sporadic this month, the PHB has all of the images that have been uploaded ready for you to view on our Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive. 😉
Lots of stuff has been added to HP’s Realms post below, including some strange hats relating to biomes that can be found in Realms, its theme music, and a video tour from HP himself. 🙂
Well, the rusty old lamp doesn’t work. *throws the lamp away*
Pretty cool items, huh? Now let’s focus on scenes and dialog. Below we have included all the important scene designs for the island.
