Hello everyone! I wanted to say we are getting so many submissions and they are great, Thank you! Also, the release date for the next issue of the magazine is January 11, 2014 (and we’ll be releasing every two months after that)! The deadline to send in submissions for this issue is January 9, 2014 at 11:59PM CST.

We would love to receive more entries for Island Ideas (what kind of islands would you like to see on Pop?), Fan Art (drawings, poems, comics, etc!), and Fashion (send us some Multiverse or common room pics to show what the current trends are!). Think of your ideas and send them in! You never know, you might make the magazine!

P.S. I also have a contest going on my blog and I’m giving away rare Creator costumes!

Poppy New Year!

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

This is a post to wish all of you a Poppy New Year!!!  😀

new year

I hope you have a great 2014!  My new year’s resolution is to play more Poptropica! 😀  But in all seriousness, I wanna try to commit myself to my school more.  What about you? 🙂

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:

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!  🙂
