Hey guys, BT here with an update on the Poptropica Lego Cuusoo campaign: right now, we just reached the milestone of over 1,000 supporters! *squee!*

Now, before that milestone was reached, Dr. Hare posting an update on how we may not be brainwashed after all.

You have done well, my minions. Since we announced our LEGO CUUSOO project last week, many of you have done your part to help us reach the promised land of 10,000 supporters. There’s a long way to go, but as I write this post, we are just a few votes shy of our first major milestone: 1,000 supporters!

Can you help our project reach 1,000 supporters? Visit our LEGO CUUSOO project page now to cast your vote! Make this happen, and I might reconsider my plans to enslave you all.

(Remember, if you’re not 13 years old or older, you’ll need a parent to sign in on the CUUSOO page in order to support the project.)

A cool thing I noticed in the comments was that one of the staff members of Lego Cuusoo commented!

Things seem to be looking up, but we’re still 9,000 votes shy of our goal… show some appreciation, peeps! If you can’t vote, you can cheer from the sidelines as well! ;) Make sure Dr. Hare doesn’t enslave us like he enjoys trying to do…

BT out!

Dr Hare Lego

Yup, that’s Dr. Hare’s new Creators’ Blog avatar! And the PCB has a new icon for their sidebar asking you to vote for their LEGO CUUSOO project. Supporting LEGO Poptropica means supporting LEGO carrots! 😀

On an unrelated note, Loud Feather got his loud voice heard when his letter was featured on the PCB. Go and check out his ode to Poptropica, titled A Lament to the 32 Islands!

Sneak Peeks

Silence is golden, duct tape is silver

Please, don’t spoil the movie by adding your own soundtrack.

Movie theater

It’s awards season, and all of the biggest names in cinema are picking up statues and telling each other how great they are. Well, I like today’s movies too, but they just don’t make ’em like they used to, you know? Sometimes I just want to settle into my local movie palace and watch a real old-time Hollywood epic.

Maybe someday. –Black Widow, Poptropica Creators’ Blog

Here’s another sneak peek for the theater-themed stuff we’ve been seeing from the Daily Pops! Looks like they’ve finished coloring in the theater from earlier. With the Academy Awards on February 24 this year, maybe we’ll soon get more information about what this could be? Is it an island on its own or a movie cinema/place for Broadway actors and actresses in the Twin Palms Mall on Night Watch? 😀

Night Watch Island, Sneak Peeks

Just a mall cop, solving some mall crimes.

Of course when there is a new post on the Creator’s Blog, the first thing we try to do is get some new information about the newest island. Today we get a look at a new Night Watch sneak peak! There must be plenty of new information hidden in there somewhere, right?

Just hanging out at the mall

What’s your favorite thing to do at the mall? Hit up the food court? Shop? Watch all the other people?

My favorite thing to do at the mall is solve crimes, but that doesn’t come up too much.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

No, I have never solved crimes at the mall Captain Crawfish. Neither have most people, but anyway… This does give us a new look at part of Night Watch, but as far as new information goes, there is not a lot. We see that they are in a store with the initials ITN, most likely In The Now.

Also we see some shirts that are for sale, some of which have themes from previous islands, such as the shirts with Dr. Hare’s face, Reality T.V. Island’s logo, and Black Widow’s hourglass on them. How cool would it be if we could get one of those shirts, am I right? Not a lot of stuff that we don’t already know, but hey, we will take any preview that they will give us at this point, eh? :P

PHB Sneak Peeks: Never Shaken, Never Stirred

Slanted Fish

While looking around, I stumbled upon a picture of these two unseen costumes – Stealth Agent (with super-epic night vision headgear) and Spy Agent (with toilet plunger gun). As it turns out, new Spy Island figures will soon be added to Poptropica’s lineup of 3-inch figurine toys, and come with these!

New Spy Items!

UPDATE: Reader Nicholas (Squeezy Wing) tells us that he messaged Poptropica about these toys and was told that it was buyable for a limited time, and now that the time is over, it can’t be bought again. Strangely, though, they’re still listed as “Coming soon”!

The page for these upcoming Spy Toys is already up, though not yet listed with the rest of the Poptropica toys. Like the other 3″ toys, they’ll probably be sold as an island pack together and only have one actual set of arms and legs (the other is just clothing you can switch on it to customize).

Here’s the official description and picture of the toys:

Spy Island’s top operatives are ready for their next assignment! Disappear into the shadows with the undetectable Stealth Agent, or take center stage with the unflappable Spy Agent. Coming soon!

Spy toys

I have to say, though, the Stealth Agent toy is rather lacking compared to its ultra-awesome-looking online code-redeeming counterpart. 😛 What do you think of these toys? How about the costumes?

Side note: James Bond likes his martinis shaken, not stirred.

PHB Specials, Pop-over

PHB Pop-over Special: K-Poptropica Style!

Slanted Fish

PSY in Poptropica

Oppa Gangnam Style! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that’s PSY, the big K-pop(tropica) phenomenon famous for his Korean music video “Gangnam Style” with the crazy horse dance. And in this PHB special adapted from Samwow5, we’ll show you how you can dress up just like this debonair dude.

  • Hair: Cryptids Island (Main Street), make it black at the 24 Carrot Diner
  • Shirt & pants: Prom King (Poptropica Store) – choose from light blue, orange, purple, and white!
  • (Optional) Mic: Rock Singer (Poptropica Store) – if not, get the wand from the Prom King suit.
  • Shades: Customize from the top secret secretary in the Spy Island Headquarters
  • Horse: Dance with the bucking broncos of Wild West Island!

Enjoy the costume and go out in style! Gangnam style, that is. 🙂
