Black Widow strikes again! This time she’s posting–not exactly a news story or update– but a few tips to help the newer Poptropica players to find their way around.
You fashionistas out there already know that there are hundreds of outfits on Poptropica that you can costumize on Islands, or buy in the Store. And there are thousands of possible costume combinations that you can put together when you combine pieces from them all.
All those accessories can be hard to hold onto. Here are a few tricks for keeping around your favorite ensembles.
The Costume Collector Gold Card is available in the Poptropica store. It’s free to use for Members, or 250 Credits for non-Members. With the Costume Collector, you can store up to three of your costumes exactly as they are, so you don’t have to worry about having to put them all together again later.
The Portrait Printer, also in the Store free for Members and 250 Credits for non-Members, lets you immortalize your greatest fashion creations on paper. You can pose your Poptropican, add one of several backgrounds, and then print it out for all to see!
Finally, all Members and non-Members with a Poptropica username can use the Avatar Studio to save a picture of their current look and share it with the world. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and play dress up!
BLACK WIDOW
While older members may know these, it’s always nice to have a bit more knowledge. After all, knowledge leads you to frolic– no, knowledge leads you to college! Or something all the adults say to trick you into eating your brussel sprouts and spinach. Either way, isn’t frolicking in the flowers quite fun?
What’s your favorite thing out of these three awesome advantages to Pop? (other then frolicking and skipping in the daisies, which no doubt the creators must add as a feature.)
As for the Daily Pop, there’s a new one called “Mine Is Yours”. How queer? Perhaps the “Mine” actually means… a mine!
*squee* Isn't Shark Boy just the most adorable?! Sorry, fangirl moment there.
It seems to be a scene from Nabooti Island– or perhaps an old island idea that was scrapped, or even an *gasp* upcoming island! As for me, if I were stuck in that unfortunate Poptropican’s place I’d probably be screaming my lungs out as well.
I took the liberty to go on my backup account and check out the mines at Nabooti. It took me a giant 18 minutes to get the camera and hard hat and everything! The things I do for you guys.
They don’t seem to resemble each other much. You don’t see that giant pipe thing or the broken boards in the background of the Daily Pop picture. Perhaps it was an early sketch.
By the way, maybe you know, and if you didn’t, you gained some more knowledge for frolicking! Tomorrow, January 8th (at least for the states), it’ll be none other then…The King of Rock n’ Roll’s birthday! Yes, lady and gents, Elvis Presley himself! Just a little fun fact I know c:
Green Boa: We interrupt ‘Cooking with Dr Hare’ for a breaking news report on Channel P.
(News music plays)
Green Boa: Our first report, we’re going out of virtuality, into reality. As Cryptids island is right in the middle of it’s member only use, things in the real world start showing signs of cryptids. We go over to our correspondent, Captain Pricklepants Crawfish, to explain it all. Mr Fishy!
Did you hear the news? A couple weeks ago, a man in Kentucky saw a strange creature running around his farm at night. He shot and killed it, and discovered a bizarre, hairless creature with a pointed snout that walked on four legs.
Well, some people thought this might have been proof of the chupacabra — not that the man had had any bloodless goats turn up on his farm recently.
Unfortunately for monster hunters, a wildlife biologist examined the body and determined that the creature was probably a raccoon suffering from a disease that had caused all its hair to fall out. Oh well. The chupacabra may still be hiding somewhere out there!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Green Boa: Shame, racoons going to such desperate measures to become famous, and the Chupacabra is really shy. Anyway, join us for more news at 7:30, with The Ultimate Sleeping Pill: Shark Reveals all!, Scrambled Jersy Devil eggs, Early Poptropicans feeling ‘Outdated’, and much much more! Until then, it’s ta-ta from me. Ta-ta! Say ta-ta Mr Fishy!
(Silence…)
Green Boa: Uh, Fred, where was Mr Fishy when he gave the report?
Camera Man: Uh, Puerto Rico.
Green Boa: Uh-oh…
(In Puerto Rico…)
Captain Crawfish: Back off, dog face!
Chupacabra: Grrrrrrr!
Captain Crawfish: I’m not a goat! I’m not a chicken! I AM A FISH! ON THE NEWS THEY CALL ME MR FISHY!!!
On Cryptids Island, if you didn’t already know, you can fly kites from the kite store! There’s lots of them to choose from, such as this panda one:
"Pandas do make me smile."
For non-members, Cryptids Island is apparently opening on Tuesday, January 18. Which isn’t exactly fair because they had originally released the date as January 17. Sneaky Creators. 😐
In other news, there are some new Daily Pop sneak peeks you might want to take a look at the next time you log in:
Buzz On – Will this scavenging bird make an appearance in Poptropica?
Horse Face – A horse learns to express itself.
Take That to the Bank – This scene could use the color of money – and some other shades, too.
Yippie for Hippies – No, there’s no Hippie Island planned. We’re always trying out new costume ideas.
The (Steam) Works – Most of these ideas never made it into Steamworks Island, but they helped us figure out how we wanted it to look.
Yes, that's right, they want to know what YOU want!
Captian Crawfish IX: Awesome Right?
EL: Quiet. Hijuyo already ate five of your cousins, Green Boa ate one of them, and I swallowed all the rest. So shut your piehole. How do keep living? I don’t know, but SHUT UP.
CC IX: 😦
EL: Well, now that that’s over with, I can tell you guys this.
EL: Well, I took the new Poptropica survey on transition street. The one with the minor ads. I love the gallbladder – oh, um it’s a survey asking you about the Daily Pop. Go take it! And on a final note…
CC IX: *wind whistles through his eye sockets*
EL: What? I had to do it!
