Astro-Knights Island, Snapshot Series, Sneak Peeks

Holy Cow, Its Tiny Crown!

While Comic Kid is searching through Astro-Knights Island, Vlad the Viking is meeting up with a lucky person in 24 Carrot island.

Snapshot Sagas – Tiny Crown

After many long trips its nice just to sit down, relax, and watch a movie in 24 Carrots movie theater about killer carrots!
Not only that but you can make great friends while watching a movie. Check out who Vlad the Viking ran into.

While eating popcorn and bubblegum in the 24 Carrot Island movie theater, I ran into a friendly Poptropican named Tiny Crown. Congratulations Tiny Crown, you are the newest Poptropican featured in Snapshot Sagas!

Keep watching for my viking beard and helmet, the next Poptropican featured in Snapshot Sagas could be you!

Holy Cow!

Trust me, it has nothing to do with cows, but it might have something to do with castles.
That’s right PCB has released yet another sneak peek on the long awaited Astro-Knights island. This time Comic Kid ran into a bit of a mess as he stared up at a castle in ruins.

Is it falling apart like your great grandmother Lucy?
Did aliens take a detour and accidentally crash into the over sized castle?
Or was it just a strange cow that stumbled into the castle?

Well our guess is that it was a pair of aliens that crashed into to the castle.

They were obviously making crop circles when they were distracted by great grandmother Lucy who came out and told them off for ruining her crops. They then flew off in a hurry and spotted a cow grazing below, they forgot where they were going and crashed into the castle.

Here’s our proof: mystery_island

Astro-Knights Island, Sneak Peeks

Unicorns Save the Day

🙂 Poptropica Help Blog has reached the 750,000+ hits milestone – that’s 3/4 of a million! 🙂
Thanks to Popfan for creating such a unique name for the unicorn in this sneak peek: Sparkles!

Not long after a meteor crashed through the prison of Super Power Island, another disaster struck in Poptropica. The skies darkened into a grayish color. Onlookers were very much afraid and immediately ran home as soon as they heard the warnings from Hazmat Hermit. “Aaaahh! The sky is falling!” somebody screamed into Hazmat H’s ear. Uh oh, thought the hermit. It’s time for… Super Sparkles Unicorn, come to save the day! In a flash, Hazmat Hermit had climbed onto his unicorn, Sparkles, and the two were now soaring high in the air. “I brought my green laser gun, Sparkles, just in case,” HH reassured the unicorn. Suddenly, they both saw it. A menacing red bird, who happened to look a bit stiff, was chasing them at top speed! “YIKES!” yelled Hermit. “Watch… out… ” He squeezed in his last two words, just as the bird came crashing through them.

Can unicorns rescue us in times of trouble? Maybe they can… on Astro-Knights Island!

Blog Post Title: It’s a bird… It’s a plane… It’s…!
Description: Strange things have appeared in the air above Poptropica. This picture was taken a moment before the mysterious rider vanished into the clouds. A large explosion followed soon after. I advise caution as we continue to monitor the situation.

The bird might be one from this earlier sneak peek – the Firebird! (Called “Rising from the Ashes…” in case you’re interested.) In that sneak peek, it looks like there are many little birds, which act as missiles, under the gigantic wings of the huge firebird. This new sneak peek seems to show one of them!

Poptropica Life Size Wall Prints

Bigheaded Agents

The title is not quite what you might think it means! Agents should not be ‘bigheaded’, but on April Fools’ Day, everyone was!

Celebrating April Fools’ Day: On Poptropica!
If the PHB didn’t fool you, maybe Poptropica will, with the help of VladtheViking’s latest YouTube video!

…And that’s a visual summary of what happened on Poptropica for April Fools! Everyone’s head got bigger (players and non-player characters!), the Poptropica logo on the homepage was backwards, and when you loaded the Poptropica page, a bunch of Poptropicans in goofy glasses would come out. The Creators also included a special picture of Dr. Hare with their blog post (aprilfools.png):

Even the evil bunnies have fun! 😆
