Minimizing and Bobbleheading?

Golden Eagle

Its GE here. School and homework is gone for today. Today was a good day…unless you count me almost going to detention and sobbing like a maniac on the way there totally day-wrecking. Curse my fear of “utterly destroying” my permanent record. Well…i learned a lesson. Don’t follow your friends into Art class 2 minutes before Language Arts starts.

Onto a more “pleasant” subject, the Creators released the Minimizer and the Bobblehead-ifier in the Store. I decided to check it out myself, since the PHF is down and i couldn’t see if anyone noticed before me.

And speaking of Kevin the Whale…i might post him on the PHF soon. He’s such a cute little fellow!

Away from my eye-disintegrating attempt to follow Kevin’s advice…the Creators made a post about it. This time it was by

Dr.Hare

Minimizer and Bobblehead

Make yourself tiny with Minimizer, or shake things up with Bobblehead. Head over to the Poptropica Store to check out these awesome new items!

I myself would be very delighted to meet a mini-Dr.Hare. ^_^ I never met a normal sized one anyway.

I’m out my dear associates.

(On a brighter note, i will most likely take the SAT in early December or early next year. 😀 Maybe i’m over-doing it…but i started to look at Ivy League college qualifications. =| )

Update: Thanks to some very kind people on the PHB chat, i found out that there is a new “Ye Old Poptropica Store” on Astro Knights Island (bottom picture). Its basically just a cart that shows a featured Poptropica Store item. Plus, the Poptropica Store screen has been updated to have some new categories, like “Most Popular” and “Creators’ Picks” (top picture).

PHF Downtime

Many of you will experience problems accessing the PHF due to domain name issues. I am currently working on resolving this issue. Before I end this post, I’d like to point out a few things:

And so concludes this post. You can still reach me at The PHF Chat, I’ll only be online when I am working on this issue. I’d also like to say that Smockers and I may have a pleasant surprise for many of you!

MOTION THE ROBOT OUT

EDIT:
This problem has been resolved, and the PHF has moved to thephf.com!

So. We come to the question. Is Gazek a Poptropican.. or a Glatorian?? Forget that. I present to you.. a speech!

My Tribe Needs The Water
From that Cave, But it's
 Guarded by Bone Hunters!

No. I don’t have a tribe. I’m talking about the new advertisement building that can be found on Main Street For all ages. I was talking to the bionicle you see to the right, it told me the above speech. Note: This ad can be seen by boys only.

Click on the “More” below to learn about Gazek’s Sites, and his new Poptropican upgrade, and a few other things, that shall be brought into discussed as you click below. 😀

Dare to be devious?

Smockers

The Creators have continued to live up to their promise of updating us with new costumes this whole summer. Today, they added 2 new costumes! The Dare Devil (not to be confused with the “Little Demon”) and the Biker. From the looks of it, the Dare Devil is about to be used as a human cannonball, and the biker is your stereotypical vision comprised of crazy hats and clothes from da hood. =D

^ Dare Devil ^ ^Biker^

Pretty spiffy hat on that male biker. 😀 But… dare I say (pun intended)? Bikers aren’t complete without bikes you can ride around Poptropica. Make it happen, Creators! As a side note, the space bar action for the Dare Devil gives you quite an egotistical smirk, and with arms on hips, your visor/helmet thingy goes down.

In honor of the all-new Biker suit, Gazek prepared us this awesome picture:

Since we are on the topic of costumes, it might be of mention that you can now organize your costumes in your inventory alphabetically or by date. The costumes are also split in pages for convenience. What do you think? Was this change for the better or just makes it even more trouble when you are trying to find something fast?

What do you think?

Also, we have hit 1,900,000 hits. WOOT! =D Many thanks to everybody for viewing our site! So close to the grand 2 million… maybe in time for my  1-year anniversary at the PHB? =O Keep yourself busy by reading up on Codien’s used-to-be-secret  site, awesome new Cool Stuff, and the September issue of PHB’s monthly Poptropican’s 911! Don’t forget to comment your thoughts if you have any! 😉

Final note: I would also like to let all of you know that everybody from the PHB staff would like to wish anybody whose family was affected by the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001 only happiness, thoughts, and prosperity. We all send our condolences to you out there. God bless.

This time we have TWELVE ultra-creative tales told by the bravest citizens around the Poptropica world. Green Seal is about to discover an unknown island, some lucky girls win tickets to a vacation at Shark Tooth Island, and the Agent Shadow trilogy wraps itself up as Shifty Shadow is brought to Evil Island.

In other news, those of you who are between 6 to 12 years old are in for a treat! There’s an advertisement building on Main Street that includes a mini-quest and a costume for your reward. Shark Boy from the Poptropica Creators’ Blog has supplied the world with the following image:

The helicopter at the top brings you to the town of Chewandswallow, where you must rescue an off switch and return it to its maker! It is advertising a movie called Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, which is based on a book with the same title. After you find the off switch, which is located on the left side on top of a building, you’ll get to sail on a gigantic sandwich!

The image at the bottom shows the Bedknobs and Broomsticks ad building game, which Gazek has described in this post:
