DP archive, PHB survey, & fansites’ spotlight for 13 million!

thirteen mil

Wow, 13 million hits already? We just had a party not too long ago, but you guys do deserve something super cool for bringing the PHB this far! This thirteen means you’re in luck, not out of it – because as the graphic above summarized, this celebration comes in 3 awesome parts! 😀

part one :: the complete daily pop sneak peek archive

Yes, the whole shebang, from November 2010 to the present! After lots of hard work collecting all the images from a certain link where the date can be changed, the PHB now has the complete archive of sneak peeks from the Daily Pop all on one page. Browsing through the ages here should be a lot easier than using the actual Daily Pop! We’ll be updating the page every month. Click here to view it!

If you’re not convinced of the insurmountable awesomeness that lies within the archive, check out the above snapshots for a sample of what you might find, from rough sketches to unreleased ideas and everything in between. Great for your personal Poptropica graphics, too! 🙂

part two :: the poptropica help blog readers’ survey

For the first time ever, we’re asking you PHB readers to fill out a quick survey so we can get some feedback on what you’d like to see on the PHB, what the PHB reader population consists of, and more. It’ll only take a few minutes! Click here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NTVYMLY

I may even post some of the results later, so if you’d like to have your voice heard, or if you have ideas for the PHB, please take a moment to answer the survey! Might as well, right? You can skip questions if you like, and your responses will be anonymous unless you wish to sign your name.

part three :: spotlight for 13 lucky poptropica fansites

The PHB is fortunate to have so many viewers, but perhaps not everyone enjoys the same amount of attention in the Poptropica community. That’s why, in honor of our 13 million hits, we’re going to list 13 lesser-known, yet active Poptropica fansites who we know from the PHB/PHC community, so that their efforts may be seen by other Poptropicans too. (For more sites, see the PHB’s directory.) Enjoy! :mrgreen:

Disclaimer: we do not own any of these sites and cannot control what you may see on them. However, at the time of this post, their focus is Poptropica and they are run by Poptropicans who have been known to frequent the PHB and/or PHC. Also, if you own a Poptropica site that is not listed, please do not be offended – there are plenty of fansites out there and our goal was to list only thirteen. 😉

Whew, you made it to the end of this lengthy three-part post! Thanks for sticking with the PHB, and we hope you enjoy the Daily Pop archive, PHB survey, and our Poptropica friends’ sites.

Keep on popping on, Poptropicans!

TMNT “Pizza Time” power

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! Quick post to alert you that there’s a new video ad on Main Streets (I found it on Super Power). After playing the trailer for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, you’ll receive the Pizza Time Power! Using it gives other Poptropicans in the area a random-colored mask (orange, purple, red or blue) and pizza slice handheld, but unfortunately, they can’t be Costumized.

For my post about the new Galactic Hot Dogs ad prizes, see the post below. Also, be sure to check out the 18th issue of the PHB fan magazine, The POPCORN, which was just released this week!

Stay tuned to the PHB for something awesome happening very soon! We’re close to the big milestone of 13 million hits, and a post much bigger than this is on its way… 😀

Galactic Hot Dogs: Princess Dagger prize pack & new costume closet!

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans – Galactic Hot Dogs is back on Poptropica with some new goodies! This time I found it on Main Street of Super Power Island. Last time the GHD stand was around, it brought along the Ice Blaster Pistol, and the time before that, the Princess Dagger (girls) and Cosmoe (boys) costumes. Those prizes are now back, along with two new ones: Jack and Princess Follower!

ghd prizepack

When you click on the GHD stand to receive your prizes, you’ll also be brought to the GHD site on Funbrain where you can read the graphic novels for free! By the way, Galactic Hot Dogs uses the font “Luckiest Guy”, which PHB author HP once recommended as a free alternative to Poptropica’s title font, Ghostkid AOE. Cool, eh? 😀

Also, here’s a look at part of the prize pack in action: the Princess Follower is as tall as your Poptropican, Jack transforms your head and body into a robot (you can use the Costumizer tool to remove it), and the Ice Blaster Pistol freezes innocent bystanders into a block of ice for a moment.

Enjoy your prizes!

Update by Samwow5: Hey everyone! There is a new feature for Poptropica’s costume closet! It’s only accessible on SUIs: you customize a Main Street character and the Costumizer screen pops up.

By clicking the green button with a clothes hanger and a plus, it adds the costume immediately to your closet. When you click the blue button with a hanger, it opens up your closet and lets you scroll through and delete costumes you don’t want.

And in other news, issue #18 of the PHB magazine, The POPCORN, was just released – click here to check out this month’s compilation of Poptropica fanfiction, artwork, fashion trends, and more! Keep on poppin’ on, Poptropicans. 🙂

Labs (Land), Membership, Mission Atlantis Island

Poptropica Lands next week & Atlantis drone for members!

Samwow5

Hey everyone! Are you excited? I am, because two big updates are happening next week! As you may have heard earlier, Mission Atlantis Ep. 3 will be out for members next Thursday (Aug 7), and you can read my theories about what’s coming here.

The earth-shaking announcement we predicted has now been confirmed, too: the next version of Poptropica Lands will also be coming out for members next week too! Here’s the trailer video:

HP said in a recent post that he thought the blue hammer above was from Poptropica Lands, and boy was he right! With the hammer, we can now destroy and rebuild in Poptropica Lands (formerly known as Poptropica Labs). I can’t wait to start playing it next week! By the way, if you visit the link shown in the trailer (poptropica.com/land), you’ll just see a static ‘coming soon’ image for now:

PopLand_TempImage

In other news, the Creators also released the Atlantis Drone Follower for Mission Atlantis: Ep. 3! This follower is actually pretty cool in my opinion, but it’s only available to members, who can pick it up for free in the Store. The Creators also added in their post that “you can get psyched for the concluding chapter of the Mission Atlantis trilogy” – implying that there will only be 3 episodes in total.

Anyway, that’s it for now! Too bad these updates are only for members – but if you are one, I hope you have a fun time exploring under the sea and building on Poptropica Lands next week! 🙂
