So the Creators think they can just disappoint us members with their island privacy settings.

One day until the public launch of Great Pumpkin Island!

This is your friendly reminder: Great Pumpkin Island will be open to all beginning tomorrow, October 14. Keep checking in right here — we’ll let you know as soon as it’s up!

SHARK BOY

Peanuts. Now Pumpkin Island isn’t a juicy pumpkin anymore. It’s just an old jack-o-lantern.

PROJECT NEWS! I have made another poster for the made-up island I hope the poptropica creators will make.

CONTEST NEWS! This Friday Hijuyo will post a poll on the blog with the 10 finalists names so you can vote who you want to win.The winning three overall will get credits and two will view a secret video.

Be on the look out for more juicy posters!

Create a Pumpkin Jack!

(Get into the Halloween spirit with this cool Jack o’ Lantern Creator!! *cheers*)

The Poptropica Creators this year have re-introduced the interactive Jack-o’-Lantern Creator that Family Education Network made last year. You can use this to design your own jack-o’-lantern by simply selecting and dragging various pumpkin parts onto the pumpkin. Here’s what it could look like:

With hundreds of different combinations available for size, eyes, nose, and mouth, here’s your chance to show your creative side for Halloween! Click here to use the Jack-O’-Lantern Creator on FamilyEducation.com. Once you’re happy with your creation, you can print out your original pumpkin portrait and color it in, or use it as a reference to carve your own with a real pumpkin.

In other news…

Great Pumpkin Island will be open to everyone this Thursday, October 14! Sweet!
Winners of the PHB Loyalty Giveaway (which was held a couple months ago) will be announced VERY SOON, so stay tuned!
On Friday, October 15, we will be putting up the poll for the 10 finalists of the PHB’s 2nd Annual Halloween Costume Contest, and YOU, dear reader, will get to vote on who you think has the coolest costume on!
Have a GREAT week! 🙂

Actually, the game won’t begin until ————-. But here’s the new ad I wanted to point out. Karate Kid! It can be found on Skullduggery or Spy. You apparently grab all the jars with the right symbols on them. And avoid the bullies. You’ll be awarded a karate kid outfit and kick move.

Mah mah mah mah mah mah wah mah wah mah uah mah mah uhm mah.Wisdom.

You might also come across an ad for Tower Prep, an upcoming Cartoon Network TV show. There isn’t a game or anything in this one; just dummies for Costumizing the costumes. Loud Shark took some pics for us:

Oh, and here’s a sneak peek of a project I’m working on. Let the game begin.

Chicken alert! Chicken alert!

Don’t worry, it’s not a real chicken! XD It’s just the new PCB post! …About a chicken alarm!

You do need a good chicken alarm now and then.

Yes, you’re all thinking O_o, WTH?, and all that. XD Just what kind of island uses a stuffed, unreal chicken for an alarm?! Will we be facing a Jurassic Island? Mansion Island? We’ll have to wait and see. 😛 BTW, did anyone notice the broken egg and barbed wire on the tree? XD Some of our commenters have suggested that this could be a trap of sorts.

Hijuyo: In other news, the PHB’s Second Annual Halloween Costume Contest has just closed. The judges are excited to see the 100+ entries we have received, and we have good news for everyone: YOU get to play a role in the judging!

During the next week, the judges will get together to decide on TEN finalists. This will then go into a poll that we will post on the PHB (watch for it next Friday, October 15th!), and ANYONE can vote on who they think has the best costume.

The poll will end JUST before Halloween (which gives you 2 weeks of intense competition!) so we can announce the winners on the night of scares! 😀

Pumpkins in mind

Halloween is approaching, and it seems that pumpkin heads are all the rage around Poptropica – whether fashionably fitted onto your head, or if you’re just thinking about that pumpkin patch on Great Pumpkin Island, which recently released to paid members and will be available to everyone on October 14.

But in all the excitement, the Creators wanted to highlight one very special “Pumpkin Head” costume from the Poptropica Store. Maybe you’ll like it so much yourself that you’ll wear it for our blog’s Second Annual Halloween Costume Contest!

Since "Great Pumpkin" is already taken, we'll call this one a very good pumpkin.

Want to share your Poptropican’s Halloween costume to us and have it judged? Win up to 1000 credits by joining our costume contest! (In other news: Results from the “PHB Loyalty Giveaway” [celebrating 4 million hits and 2 years] will be announced VERY SOON now that the PHF forums are back up, and winners will have their prizes sent soon.)
