Check out the Poptropica Store by clicking on the star symbol on the top-right corner of the gamescreen! You may also want to buy more credits in order to gain access to even more cool stuff.

What’s New Now:

  • Large Fry Outfit (See the leftmost figure in the above picture)
  • Soda Pop Outfit
  • Big Burger Outfit
  • Ice Cream Outfit
  • Pirate Captain Outfit (There is a boy’s version (blue; middle-right figure in the above picture) and a girl’s version (red; rightmost figure in the above picture))
  • Rock Singer Outfit (Boys only; middle-left figure in the above picture)

And remember, if you want something from the Poptropica Store that is not available for your gender, just use the randomizing cheat (Ctrl + Shift + R) until it changes your gender! (Warning: This will also change your entire appearance.) You can then buy the costume you want and change back to your original gender.

Update! Soon after the release of all these tasty costumes mentioned above, even more outfits – and another item for their “Cool Stuff” section – has been added to the Store!

Vlad the Viking makes his first trip to the kingdom of Arturus… a.k.a. Astro-Knights Island. It’s not always safe there, as he was able to find out today. Read on for his tale:

A visit to Arturus was a chance of a lifetime, and I had been waiting MONTHS for this! It was going to be grand, taking a trip to the famed castle, and visiting the small museum dedicated to Mordred, the infamous scientist!

When I had finally taken my first steps into Arturus, a great rumble filled the air and the ground shook. It soon became apparent that a great battle had begun at the castle, and all I had was my trusty camera! I am no coward (well, not a coward all of the time), but I couldn’t fight these flying ships without a sturdy axe, and I just had my hair re-braided, and… well… I just couldn’t jump into the fray.

A laser blast exploded near my feet, and I was thrown back through the doorway of the nearby Crop Circle Inn. This was just getting to be too much! My freshly braided hair was still intact, but my favorite boots were practically ruined from the searing heat of the barrage!

With the sounds of battle still ringing outside, I decided to hunker down in safety with the other Poptropican’s that apparently had the same idea as myself. One Poptropican in particular caught my attention. His name is Young Bug, and he was a Ninja! I definitely didn’t feel cowardly knowing that even a Ninja equipped with nunchaku wasn’t too fond of entering battle against flying machines with laser guns!

Congratulations Young Bug, you have just been featured in Snapshot Sagas!

Be safe while rescuing Arturus from danger, and watch for me as you travel throughout Poptropica!

Fellow customers, if you are thinking of purchasing the ninja costume from the Poptropica Store, Young Bug definitely did a good job modelling it for us. Want the same clothes Mr. Bug is wearing? It’s only 75 credits! 😛

In other news: If you log in to Poptropica, you’ll notice a new ad on both sides of the screen. It’s advertising an original movie from Disney Channel called “Princess Protection Program” and it has the names “Selena Gomez” and “Demi Lovato” on the top. Under that is their description, which says “Royalty meets reality.” On the other side it says “Premieres Friday, June 26 8p/7c” with a sign that says “Click here”. If you click on that, it brings you to this webpage:

And here’s a final sneak peek at what you might expect on this troublesome island:

Blog Post Title: A Day in the Life of the Bard
Description: The Space Sharks are among my strongest but most stupid creations. They are a little thick headed, so I had to shoot at all three of them just so I could get their attention. We had quite a lovely space stroll until one of them got carried away and took a bite out of my space ship. What a mechanical mess! 0110111101110101011101000010000001100110
0110111101110010001000000110000100100000

[The binary code translates to “Out for a stroll”.]

So head on out there and explore the unknown territories of outer space! The kingdom of Arturus is counting on you.

Beautiful Sea Life

There’s an advertisement building for 6 to 8 year olds on Main Street (any island). It’s a Kellogg’s Froot Loops adventure, and this time it is up to you to rescue the toucans from the FrootOctopus! All you have to do is find 8 flashing red spots on the octopus and jump over it to “tickle” it. When you are done you will be awarded a yellow Froot Loops Costume and a FrootOctorizer (both temporary items).

Comic Kid flicked through his sketchbook. He smiled at every little doodle he’d ever drawn, thinking of the adventures it came with. But today he thought that one particular image stuck out to him: the little fishies. Then he got an idea.

Half an hour later, he’d reached the ocean next to Reality TV Island and was happily swimming underwater. He dove deeper, passing by schools of fish and a bunch of coral, until he finally saw the ground. There was one medium-sized green fish down there, grinning at him. Cute, thought Comic Kid, whipping out his underwater camera. He snapped a picture for memories and headed back on shore to put into his blog later. Amazing!

Description: Remember the pictures of fish that I drew awhile back? Well I thought I would go back to where I first saw them and show you what they look like in their surroundings. Amazing, huh?!

A Quick Update

Codien

Hey guys just wanted to keep you up to date with everything.

First off due to the huge amounts of people wanting to play Astro-Knights island Poptropica is experiencing a high amounts of traffic. The creators are working on the problem and say it will be back online in less then 24 hours. While this is disappointing we’re happy because it gives us time to write the guide. 😛

 

Secondly the winners to the PHB 1 million Monster Competition will be announced later this week and their special monster outfits will be sent to them. Although i myself must say this quickly, unfortunately i accidental lost 7 of the monster outfits and will only be able to give out 13 of them. I am very sorry but i guess it makes the costumes more rare. There’s always a positive to a negative. 😛

 

If you haven’t seen yet we have released our first issue of Poptropican’s 911 post. It’s filled with loads of cool stuff so check it out. You can access it from the post below or from the top bar.
