Great news Poptropicans! Have you heard of the new upgrades to the Hot Dog and Tofu Dog costumes in the Potpropica store? They now come with new handheld bottles of ketchup, organic ketchup, mustard, and wasabi! Perfect for squirting unsuspecting passerbys! And for squirting Captain Crawfish before nomming him! 😀

New this week in the Poptropica Store

The only thing that can make a hot dog better is some ketchup and mustard. That’s why we’ve upgraded the Hot Dog costumes in the Poptropica Store with a new power!

Now, when you costumize the Hot Dog, you can choose to give your character a bottle of ketchup or mustard to squirt onto unsuspecting Poptropicans. For vegetarians, the Tofu Dog costume now comes with bottles of wasabi sauce and organic ketchup.

Best of all, if you’ve already got the Hot Dog or the Tofu Dog in your inventory, now you’ve got the new powers, too! No need to do anything but costumize them.

Enjoy!

*Captain Crawfish runs away from PHB in fear*

GET HIM!!!!!!!!!

But before you run off with your armed squirt bottles, thanks to Striped Grape for showing us pics of this new upgrade!

Tofu Dog Item Card. The Hot Dog card will look just like this, except it's replaced by ketchup and mustard.

A new minigame for Mystery Train?

August 3, 2011August 3, 2011 elmopwns

It’s EP here with another new post. This one is actually a sneak peek, quite exciting! The creators have began to get us pumped up about the new islands coming. In the last post, there was a new trailer about a “legend coming,” possibly to do with Mystery Train Island. I’d say I’m pretty warmed up about this.

New minigame? I bet it has something to do with quickly taking the customers’ orders. Will this be a pre-island game like Shrink Shot? Or will it be a minigame actually in the island?

I’m thinking it will be a pre-release game, because if you look closely and examine the picture, you’ll actually see a gold sign that says “Mystery Train Island, coming soon” which just proves it will be one of those minigames like Shrink Shot released before the island is actually out.

EP out!

Mystery Train Island

The Legends of the Hidden Temple

July 30, 2011July 30, 2011 MT

excuse the 90’s nickelodeon show reference, but i have no idea what to name this thing..

T.G.I.F.! The creators posted a video today from their PoptropicaCreators account entitled, “The Legend is Coming”. What could it mean? What does the ‘E’ stand for? According to the video, we’ll just have to scratch our heads until September.

Edit: If you pause at 0:17, you see a robot-like body.

Moar Edits: According to PHB Commenter, Aang, the ‘E’ could stand for Evil Co. from an old picture with robots in Daily Pop.

MOAR MOAR EDITS: Thanks to Squeezy Rider, here’s a screenshot from Daily Pop showing robots with the letter ‘E’.

Meanwhile in the Island Tour, Poptropica has released a description of the island along with seven fascinating screenshots.

How do you solve a mystery when everyone is a suspect? It’s 1893, and some of the world’s brightest minds are traveling by train to the World’s Fair in Chicago. But after a dastardly crime puts the fate of the Fair in peril, only you can piece together the clues and collar the criminal. All aboard for a whodunit that will keep you guessing until the last twist of the tracks!

This definitely psyched me up about the island. How do you feel about it?

Daily Pop, Mystery Train Island

It’s a mystery!

July 29, 2011July 29, 2011 elmopwns

The PCB just announced the latest island: Mystery Train Island! That’s right.

Remember all those sneak peeks the creators had 0n the Daily Pop about all the cabooses and trains? Well, it’ll all be in the next new Mystery Train Island!

You creators are fast :D. Boy, Shrink Ray Island just came out and now you’re announcing a new island? The creators have been working at a fast pace lately. New islands are constantly being released after another. In the past an island seemed to come out every 4 months…but now.

The new island has also appeared on the map with a coming soon sign! The symbol shows a train with steam smoldering around it. Really do hope there’s going to be a sneak peek game like shrink shot. 🙂

My bet on this island is that it’s about some robbery or criminal act that occured on a train, and so it’d be your job to solve the case and catch the culprit. Guess we’ll just have to wait for details. So far we’re left with a name and a few sneak peeks. We just know it has to deal with a train and mystery. This island is still a mystery…for now. 😉

Poptropican Video Intro

July 29, 2011July 29, 2011 Hicoga

Hey guys! Do I have something cool to show you!

Me and my friend GoPackz worked together to make an awesome video for authors to use as intros to their Poptropica Help Blog videos. Anyway, here’s the intro we made in Cinema4D

It’s not super fancy or anything, but it’s cool. If you’re an author you’re probably wondering, “How can I add this to the beginning of my videos?”

Well, all you have to do is download the WMV file from the website given here.

If you download and use the intro but you’re not a PHB author please give us credit and provide a link to our website.

Also, check out GoPackz youtube channel at youtube.com/gopackz He does great animation like this one and also features other artwork he’s done.
