Santa’s Sharks

Slanted Fish

PHB Header
Poptropica Help Blog staff member Coderkid worked hard to create a colorful Shark Tooth header for us to enjoy! You can view it at the top of every page at the PHB. Also, be looking forward to an upcoming Christmas header from graphics designer Codien!

New Store Stuff!
Shark Boy from the Poptropica Creators’ Blog changed his avatar in honor of one of the two new costumes to arrive at the Poptropica Store – the Tiger Shark! (Notice the amazing dead fish!) For girls, you can also pick up a Swan Ballerina outfit. Thanks to Xarr for this update.

Tiger Shark – Basically looks like the shark costume from the Shark Museum at Shark Tooth Island. But with this costume, there comes a twist where the boring gray color of the typical shark becomes a thrilling striped orange. You can also Customize the awesome fishy and toss it in the air by pressing the space bar!

Swan Ballerina – The title says it all! It’s a pretty dancing ballerina costume mixed with a taste of swan. Isn’t it beautiful? 😛

Santa Buddies Ad
For younger children (6 to 11 years old), a nice Christmas adventure awaits you at the Disney Santa Buddies advertisement building! You can find it on Main Street of most islands. Thanks goes to Incredible Fish for the update.

Once inside the building, go to the right side to be briefed by the white instructor dog, Santa Paws, about what to do. The goal is to get all five brown reindogs in time to deliver Santa’s presents so everyone can have a very merry Christmas season! xD

You have sixty seconds to round up all 5 dogs. To the right side of the Santa Paws is a snowy landscape, and if you explore the area, you should be able to touch 3 of the dogs. The other 2 dogs are hidden back inside the advertisement building, on the higher platforms. When the time is up and you have succeeded in your mission, you will watch a little cutscene where you get to drop gifts down the chimneys!

After the cutscene, you will be presented with two prizes – a green elf costume with antlers and a surprise box. The elf costume is similar to last year’s, except that there is no nose attached to the antlers and the pants are yellow.

The surprise box can be used (by clicking on the ”Use” button on its item card) to spray gift boxes all over the place, then having them magically clear up. YAY BOXES!! :mrgreen:

*eye twitch* This is just TOO awesome Creators!  I wonder if we’ll get to ride it through the whole island, or will it be like the Hoverboard on Astro-Knights or the boat race on Big Nate!

And who is this new Creator, Master Mime? I think it’s safe for us to assume that he’s the villain (or one of, it is called “Counterfeit” Island) on Counterfeit Island!
 
Or, he could be a good guy. As you might know, mimes like to act things out without saying a word; so perhaps the mime of Counterfeit Island will be giving us clues?

I also forgot to mention that on one of my other Poptropica accounts, I found a flashlight from an upcoming ad in Poptropica! Check it out!

Original Post:
Everyone’s heard of Counterfeit Island (well, anyone who’s read the other posts), so this will pretty much simply confirm it more for you. If you haven’t heard of it, you’ve been living under a rock without internet access. The new Creators’ Blog post is about the characters on Counterfeit Island.

Here are a few Poptropicans you’ll likely be meeting on Counterfeit Island.

And so we have a: Police Officer, Construction Worker, and Clerk. Is it just me, or does the clerk look…I dunno, Frenchy? No, not French Fry Frenchy, but French Island Frenchy?  Her hat in particular. I wonder what the plot for French Is- I mean, Counterfeit Island will be. XD

Other Counterfeit Characters:
I also managed to dig up a few other costumes from Counterfeit Island. Because of this version of wordpress’ HTML restrictions, I had to post them on the PHF Blog. Click here to check em’ out!

A Lifetime of Headers

Codien

Dear viewers of the PHB,

Over the lifespan of the PHB I have designed headers for special occasions to lift the mood on the internet.

My style has changed, the quality has improved, and finally all my headers can be showcased on display at my DeviantART Page.

Were you here to see all of them?

Ribica

Smockers

Hello.

“After my quick break at the local cafe, I explored more of this new island to discover the people here calling it “Counterfeit Island.” What an intriguing name, I wonder why they call it that? I guess I’ll just have to explore some more to find out.”

The title of this post is “Did someone say, “Counterfeit Island?”The image used in this post is here:

In this picture, we can see Comic Kid standing on a barrel on the dock. He is close to a boat named Ribica.

The title of that picture, peculiarly, is little_fish.jpg.

Analyze: We can safely assume that this place is on the same island as the Jazz Cafe that we recently saw in this post due to this excerpt from the post above:

“After my quick break at the local cafe, I explored more of this new island“

Unfortunately, our predictions of a continuation of French Island were wrong. Instead, we have what is referred to as “Counterfeit Island.” It’s excellent that they are already working on a new island, although I hope RTV Island releases soon, as well.

Boo Updates

Codien

Hello all, it’s been too long. For everyone new that does not know me i’m Codien the graphics guy here at the PHB.
I’ve been having exams and too much work to focus on this site, but don’t worry i’m off school in only 2 more days, then you will have me all to yourselves for as long as you want. Just don’t kill me.

_

First update i would like to announce is the new Poptropica Help Blog header. This was created lovingly by me in memory of my old headers 😦 [Read what happened at my blog]. I hope you all like it. Give me feedback and tell me what i could add or improve. I WUV BLUE! ❤

[booChar.png]

Over at the PCB they posted a new post about the Boo costume, obtained at the advertisement; ‘Monsters Inc’. I’m sure all of you guys already knew this and are already scaring monsters with your cute smile and costume. “Mike Wasalski!”

A third thing to add to this small yet charming post is a small secret brewing in the Poptropica underground world. The creators are busily making a new thing that not even i can talk about!
All i can say is it involves a profile and a ranking system and different options of what food you like, favorite color, how many games you’ve won, and thats pretty much everything there doing.

But don’t panic! BOO! They are going to release Reality TV island soon. All will they. *scary music play*
