Some monstrous new Daily Pops

Fuzzy-B

The mystery of Monster Carnival Island continues to thicken with some new posts that have made their way onto the Daily Pop! Are these monsters our newest sneak peak for Monster Carnival, or is there another new island brewing bellow the surface? Check out these Daily Pop posts and make the decision!

The first picture shows us a tree with some evil looking owls in it, so what? The important part are the streamers and flags that are seen, is this a festive scene? Festive like a carnival? The rest just show various monsters.  The first two show a metal faced bird, a taxidermy  Jackalope, and multi-eyed dinosaur dog. The last picture shows an evil looking toxic waste monster.

It should be noted that the last two pictures are similar in that the monsters are labeled with numbers. Are these exhibits to go and see on Monster Carnival Island?

So what do you think? Are these our first official look at the Monsters of Monster Carnival Island or something totally new, only time will tell!

Exploring the Cosmoes (or maybe not)

Blake

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with another piece of fresh-popped Poptropica news. (Seriously, I can’t stop with the puns! HELP!)

So anyway, I was doing my usual round of the island’s common rooms, and found out that (SURPRISE!) I was America’s next top model! Not really. Anyway, I found out that Cosmoe, the main character in the new Funbrain graphic novel series Galactic Hot Dogs (some of you may read it, I personally don’t, for fear of another Spider-Man 3) is in some of the common rooms (such as Vampire’s Curse). (screenshots taken by Slanted Fish; Blake is not a girl)

cosmoe

As you can see, he’s got a flawless 5-star battle ranking, plus you can add him as a friend! He shows up on your friends list with a green star instead of a yellow one (to prove he’s ~special~), and all of his images are stills from GHD telling you about Cosmoe.

You can also customize him (but not his Goober Sword), and that’s pretty much it! First time Poptropica has placed a character in a common room as an ad. (EDIT: His username is npc:cosmoe, so you can add him to your friends that way too! Thanks to raqk for the tip!)

Once again, pop on in next week for another great piece of Poptropica news! But for now, this is Blake, popping the cork off of another adventure in- okay I am so done I mean really what’s with the puns. who writes these scripts I mean really.

Blake’s rant about the quality of his script went on for another two hours before he was shot down by 5 tranquilizer darts. Thank goodness for that, because that’s enough tranquilizer to take down an elephant. But what do I know? I’m just a narrator! Tune in next time for Blake’s newest piece of Poptropica news. Will he finally find Cosmoe? Will he EVER become America’s Next Top Model? And WHY AM I ASKING YOU ALL THESE QUESTIONS? Tune in next week to find out!

PHB Sneak Peeks

The Lost Items of Poptropica

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

If you stalk through the item files of Poptropica for some bit, you are going to run across items that you have never seen before.  “Am I missing out?”, you ask.  I can tell you soundly that you are not missing out on anything; instead, you have discovered a lost item of Poptropica!

These items are very rare, and will never show up in your game; but outside of the player, you can view these hidden gems, which have never been used, and most likely never will be.  These items are not for the new releases, they are for islands that have already been released.  With my high tech solutions (ok, totally NOT high tech), I have been able to view these items completely, without having the name cut off.  This will make things easier, don’t you think? 😉

First off, a Teleporter Fuse, from Spy Island.

The description says that the satellite teleporter won’t work without the fuse…  sort of strange.

paint pallette

This is a Paint Pallette Watch from Counterfeit island; who knows what part of the quest it was supposed to go in, but it does not have a “Wear” button, so it wasn’t a customizable item.

Gravity Boots

These Gravity Boots are from Lunar Colony, and they are customizable!  The first customizable shoes… sad that they were never released.  Also in Lunar Colony, this  radio headset which you do wear in the quest, but never get an actual item for:

And this Energy Boost Blaster is from Zomberry Island:

Energy Boost Blaster

We’ll never know for sure what these strange items are for, but it’s sort of neat to know about them.  If you ever find something unusual or strange, tell us!  🙂
