Hoppy Poppy Valentine’s! 💖🐰

Slanted Fish

Hoppy Valentine’s season, Poptropicans! Somebunny has been sharing a series of Pop-themed little love notes — maybe there’s one for you.

On Instagram, the Pop Creators posted several Valentine’s cards, many of which we’ve seen before, though there are a couple new ones in the mix featuring Bastet from Jade Scarab Island and the Red Baron. Love!

Speaking of the Baron, though, there’s still no sight of the sky pirate or their red airship on Home Island, and we’re now midway through the month. Comments about who the costume contest winner might be continue to go unanswered on the Creators’ Blog. 🤔 Hmmm….

While we wait for updates to the actual game, at least we’re seeing some love on socials! 💕 Check out the latest fan art featured on Poptropica’s Instagram stories, where devotion and daring are in the air:

Fan Comic: PoptropiCon Saga, Part 2/5 💥

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

Hello, and welcome back to the superhero story of a ten-day trial of terror inside the chaotic convention center! BWAAA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

…It’s been a while, though. So for the sake of convenience, here’s my first PoptropiCon Saga post, and a recap: *ahem* So far, each issue of the saga represents one day at the convention.

As of now, three days have passed there, and you are about to witness the terrors of the next three! (That’s right, terrors. Or at least that’s what it seemed like when I drew these chapters up. But let’s see if they can keep YOU on the edge of your seat!)

Issue #4: Omegon’s Attack

Issue #5: Force it all Together

Issue #6: Conflicts

Along with the sixth issue comes a plot twist that literally changes EVERYTHING in the saga… What could it be? And do you dare to press on once you find out what it is?

If you do, then don’t miss the next post of my fan comic saga here on the PHB! Good luck, and enjoy the wild ride.

Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Invisible Ring. If you did, you might also enjoy other posts of hers, including her PHB interview about her Poptropica fan movie, Battle Morale!

The Poptropica Help Blog welcomes interesting Poptropica insights from anyone in the Poptropica community with thoughts to share. Interested in writing for the PHB? We’d love to hear from you!

Member Gifts, Social Media

OMG, coming through with Ice Racer⚡️

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans — tune in for glitzy gifts and a bunny bop! 🐰

February’s member gifts are speeding in with an electric blue Ice Racer Car, Ice Racer Suit, and Ice Racer Helmet. 🧊⚡️ If you’re a member, you’ll find these dynamic gifts in your inventory — and you aren’t one, why not try your luck in our PHB monthly membership giveaways?

Meanwhile, there’s still no sight of the Baron’s airship yet, which missed the month of January as it last arrived in late December, sans Baron. 👀🙈 But since a costume contest was held in January, there’s no reason not to expect its arrival in February, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Over on social media, Poptropica’s been no stranger to memes and madness, but their latest reel warrants a special shout-out as it came with a rare appearance promoting the Dr. Hare clip on the PHB’s Discord server, the PHC! (And like last time, the response from fans was a demand for the return of Astro-Knights Island spelled out in emojis.) 🚀

(UPDATE – DEC 2023: The Discord appearance has been debunked as not representing the real Poptropica. The PHB apologizes for the error.)

Celebrating Dr. Hare with a K-Poptropica bop, the reel features scenes of Poptropica’s favorite bunny villain overlayed with the song “OMG” by NewJeans, the Korean girl group whose mascot is also a bunny. 🐇💕✨ Happy Year of the Rabbit, indeed! Watch it below:

Now we’ve got to ask: will there be a ditto for Dr. Beev?? 🦫💭

Wearing Cats and Comparing Islands 😻

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, we’ve got a whirlwind of little updates to visit! Pop in for shop drops, a guest blog, and a slew of fan art features. Let’s go!

First up: With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, the shop floor of Adventure Outfitters is filled with all things romantic, though nothing truly new. Many of these lovely items are available to all, though the “Crushing” head and a couple costumes are for members only. 💝

Thanks to Dizzy Feather for the tip!

As Instagram shows, there’s also a new rotation of costumes with cats in the spotlight. Check out the cat hoodie and backpack in stock! 🐱

Over on the Pop Creators’ Blog, guest writer Invisible Ring is back with a part two to her previous post comparing the fan-designed, contest-winning “Dream Islands” of Poptropica. This time she focuses on Goofball and Jade Scarab, concluding both to be easy yet exciting.

Finally, here’s a whole bunch of fan art features from the past couple of weeks on Poptropica’s Instagram stories! From costume designs to a redraw of a scene from Survival Island, there’s plenty to behold. Be sure to click the artists’ names to view their original posts in greater detail!

“The Villain Saga” – Episode 5, Part 2

Agent Bubbles

(Table of contents) (See previous)

CUT TO CRAWFISH, sitting in the medical ward. He’s taking a close look at pretty much every item in sight as the doctors try to corral him to the table.

CRAWFISH

What’s this? Why do you have so many hollow ropes?

DOCTOR #1

They’re just tubes, ignore those they’re not–

CRAWFISH

Why are all of you wearing white? Don’t’cha think a darker color would be better with all the mess?

DOCTOR #2

It helps us notice any stains, now–

CRAWIFSH

Yea, that’s my point. You can simply hide it!

The DOCTORS all grimace.
