Hey guys, BT here. Remember the Zomberry: Day Zero comics released throughout last December? It seems that that same artist is back, this time doing a backstory for the upcoming Virus Hunter Island! Like the Zomberry comic, there will be 6 pages. The first page was released yesterday:

(click on the image for a larger view)

So it seems from the look of things, Dr. Lange and her two colleagues are searching for this “dangerous creature”, casually ignoring ferocious animals. The “dangerous creature” is most likely the virus we’d have to fight throughout the island. From the looks of things, and the NanoBot Training, Dr. Lange seems to be a pretty eccentric character (as well as a rare female leading doctor, the last one being Lunar Colony’s Dr. Salerno).

Speaking of Virus Hunter Island, its official island information page has been given a major makeover! Still no news of the release date, and the other islands have yet to be privileged with the same upgrade.

So what do you guys think?

BT out!

Avengers Assemble!

July 28, 2013July 28, 2013 Fuzzy-B

The Non-Stop Summer advertisement has been updated again! For a limited time, you can transform yourself into a giant green rage monster! All you have to do is watch a preview for the new Disney XD show Hulk and the agents of S.M.A.S.H.!

You will want to click on A-Bomb (the giant blue guy standing beside the video) before watching the video. Once the video is over, you receive the Giant Green Hulk Power.

But that’s not all! Once you have won the Kickin’ It game, the Randy Cunningham game, obtained the Crazy Helmet item from the Porta-Party room, and talked to A-Bomb (the big blue guy standing beside the Hulk video) you receive the special bonus prize, which is…. drum roll please…. the Iron Man Outfit!

As always, once you click on the “hulk size” button or the “make me a hero” button, you will put on the Hulk or Iron Man costumes, but you will return back to what you were wearing before when you enter a new room/area. That means if you want to be able to wear the costumes anywhere you go, you have to press Ctrl + Shift + S, but be warned, this will do away with what you were already wearing and replace it with the Hulk or Iron Man costumes.

The Avengers can now assemble on Poptropica with Captain America, Hulk, and Iron Man all being available as costumes! I have been waiting for this for so long! Which is your favorite? I really like the Iron Man outfit.

Avengers Assemble!

PHB Parties

5 years of Poptropica Help!

July 27, 2013July 27, 2013 Slanted Fish

This Poptropica Help Blog (PHB) turned 5 years old on July 26th, 2013, and we celebrated with fun and friends new and old on the PHC and Poptropica. Thanks to everyone who came to the party!

5thPHB recap

Ubiquitous color-changing 5th birthday balloons, head-to-head game battles, and special effects like Fireworks took place in Multiverse rooms that tended to fill up quickly, while on the PHC, people were chatting and got to meet some of the PHB authors – Slanted Fish, Brave Tomato, Fuzzy-B, Enclosed Lightning (who retired), as well as other Poptropica bloggers like Spotted Dragon and Silver Wolf.

Even if you couldn’t make it this time, remember that the PHC is always available for you to hang out with other Poptropicans! Thanks to all you readers for sticking with the PHB and we hope to continue being your Poptropica key! Don’t forget to be awesome.

happy birthday PHB!

In the quest for 10k supporters on LEGO CUUSOO (currently close to 8,500!), Poptropica has released another paper craft to match the previous Dr. Hare construction. Just print out the new and totally rad Rabbot PDF, then cut, fold, and paste as needed, and you’ll have your very own robot rabbit!

Remember, Jeff Kinney (& co) is counting on you. And until we reach ten thousand, he’s the only one who gets to have a “Dr. Hare’s Lair” set, so be sure to vote!

In other news, today’s the day of the PHB’s 5 Years & 9m Hits Party on our Poptropica Help Chat (the PHC)! Click here for the specific time and other details, and we hope to see you there! :]

Contests, Merchandise

Whodat say day create dem own island?

July 18, 2013July 18, 2013 AW

You might be wondering, “Why did Angry Wing name his post in such a strange way?” Well, the answer to that is, well, um, next question. You remember the Poptropica books, right? In particular, there’s the Island Creator Kit – which may come in handy for the Create Your Dream Poptropica Island Contest!

Here’s the real story. Starting August 1, anyone can “create” an island and send it to the Creators for evaluation. One lucky winner, just one, will have their island created and put on the map. (Literally, on the Poptropica Map.) Buying the Island Creator Kit might help you get started with some ideas. After seeing a few comments, I am clarifying: there is no purchase necessary.

How exciting! I will be partaking in the contest, but if anyone needs a little inspiration or help as well, so to speak, here’s my card. (I don’t really have a card.)

You can find the entry form here.

Black Widow finishes off with “Keep an eye out for more information about the rules and how to enter. And for the inside scoop on how to design a winning Island, check out the Island Creator Kit, coming on August 1!”

Any questions, class? 🙂–

On another note, my blog Just Cuz Its Friday needs your help deciding on a new logo. The candidates and the voting can be found here. Please help us out by voting!

Thank you, and goodbye!
