Costume & Membership Winners!

Hiya, Silver Wolf here with some exciting news! Remember the #MyPoptropicaCostume contest from way, way back (February 8th, actually)? Well, in case you’ve forgotten, these were the Grand Prize costume winners:

Why am I mentioning this, you ask? Maybe because Poptropica gave a sneak peek of the costumes! The post was pretty cryptic, though, only saying this:

Costume contest winners are dropping soon in Poptropica Worlds and Poptropica Original! Stay tuned for these exciting outfits…

No date or even hint? Also, in case you haven’t noticed, posts are no longer by Skinny Moon, so the style is pretty different. I’m not much of a fan with the new changes… After all, we’re not getting a connection to the author anymore. If you didn’t see, these are what the costumes look like currently:

It looks like the most changes came to the Ocean Princess costume, especially when it comes to the “boy” version, and it lost some of the glow effects. I think they could have just changed the colors, but whatever. 😛 The costume also comes with a trident, which wasn’t part of the original. I have to say, though, the Hip Hop Boy costume is pretty spot-on.


Those aren’t the only recent winners announced, however. Recently there was a membership contest for Poptropica’s 10th birthday. All you had to do was create a unique island that had a birthday cake, parrotfish, and color green included. All ten winners got a 1-month membership for their amazing submission! These submissions included (click images for full size):

A New World is Coming…

Hiya, Silver Wolf here, and I have some exciting news! Skinny Moon sent out some sneak peeks of Poptropica Worlds, which is releasing soon, and I’m sure all of you are ready to see what’s coming up! Some things they said that are going to be in the new Poptropica Worlds include:

  • A house! You get to decorate it and everything.
  • More options to customize your Poptropican!
  • The rumored new island…Crisis Caverns!
  • New art, animation, and gameplay mechanics.

Plus, your current Poptropica account will still be available in Poptropica Worlds!


Photos

Oh yes, they included photos! The first one is named “Crisis Caverns,” but it’s probably just the tip of the iceberg. After all, the photo is above ground when the island is mostly going to be underground.

As you can see, one of the signs says “Caldera State Park,” and there actually is a Caldera National Park, but it’s most likely referring to the meaning of caldera as “a large volcanic crater.” Maybe that’s how we go underground? There is a mining shaft to the left, though, so who knows. To the right, you can also see a sign that says “Old Reliable,” most likely a play on the name of the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park.

Crisis Caverns

Now that we’ve evaluated picture one, let’s look at picture two. Continue reading

Poppy Updates: Spring & More!

It’s been awhile since we’ve covered some news about Poptropica. Since we’ve missed a bunch, we’re just going to link to some of the older news but cover the newer ones!


Islands of the Month + Comic

Now on to March! We haven’t been completely out-of-date, as you can see with our widget to the right. March’s Islands of the Month are…you guessed it…Super Power Island and Galactic Hot Dogs Island! Poptropicans actually got to vote between Super Power and Reality TV (it was super close with only a tiny percent difference!) I chose Super Power. 😉 But remember that March is ending soon so another two will be on their way!

Speaking of Super Power Island… The Creators have released an old comic that was from before Super Power was even an island to play! Just click the images to read:

I thought it was pretty funny, but I have two pet rats myself, and they’re not dirty! 😛

Costume Wonderland!

Despite a bit of inactivity in the first couple of weeks in December on the Creators’ Blog, there have been three posts in the past four days! The two subjects? Wimpy Wonderland Island and the #MyPoptropicaCostume contest.


#MyPoptropicaCostume Updates

If you’ve read our post about some upcoming “very interesting stuff,” then you’ve probably wondered, like most of us, exactly what that meant. Well, it seems as if it was about the #MyPoptropicaCostume contest (although I was slightly hoping for news about the ‘New Poptropica’). But, who knows, maybe something will be announced tomorrow on New Year’s Day! 😉

First of all, like the image above shows, today was supposed to be the last day for entering your costume, but it’s been extended to the second of January! A little gift from Poptropica, I suppose. Although, that’s not even the fun part.

stuffThere will be 2 grand prize winners! That means not just one, but two Poptropicans will get a 6-month membership, and — to me, most excitingly — their costume will be able to be purchased from the Store! Along with all these great goodies, it will be featured on Home Island on one of the Poptropicans.

We get to vote on costumes! Yes, you read that right. There will be 20 costumes that we can vote on, and the 10 with the most votes will win. The prizes of being one of the runner-ups are nearly just as good; you get a 3-month membership and your costume will still be available in the Store later in 2017!

Good luck, Poptropicans!


Wimpy Wonderland Peeks

If you’re interested in what goes on behind the scenes of islands, here’s another batch of some animations and drawings, this time of Wimpy Wonderland! Since it’s one of December’s IOTMs, it’s fitting, and what’s more, it will still be open to everyone until January 2nd! I don’t know about you, but does it seem like a lot of important things are ending the second? Why the second, when Wimpy Wonderland is featured as a December island? Maybe there will be an update that day…or the day after…hmm. Still, here are some of the behind the scenes peeks:

This animation is of Greg and Rodrick, the two feuding brothers:

Daily Poppin’ Ads

Hiya, Silver Wolf here!

Let’s get straight into it…the first order of business is the BFG, or Big Friendly Giant, ad!

ad

This ad is basically on every SUI island you will go on right now. This is one of the short ones, though, where you watch two videos and get rewards. The video on the left, where Sophie tells her experiences of the making of the movie, gives you the Dream Trumpet power! The one on the right tells about the language used by giants (it’s actually kind of cool), and you get the Stride By power. You can see what they do below:


Daily Pop

What, a new sneak peek? Three new sneak peeks?! Impressive. We didn’t go over last month’s singular one because, well, it was just a rat (and apparently it took a week to make). Since this is so special, let’s theorize a little bit:

The Wheel Deal: This actually looks really fun! I’m betting the Grand Prize is probably 1/100, though. Unless credits become a prominent feature in the New Poptropica, I’m hoping that some of those slots change… Plus, I never understood the Spin Again slots. You spin, expecting something, then do it again?

ROI: Now, when I first saw this I thought they were referring to a name. Nope! It means “Return of Investment,” which is basically a formula you can use to see how your net cost compares to the original cost. I think this may be a tip of the hat to say everything is going fine financially for Poptropica right now, since there seems to be some rumors going around…

Hay There: This is a real barnstormer. And that pun is a brainstormer to think about. Really, this could be anything. But…what do I see on that barrel…? And the crate…? Is that Funny Bunny? The carrot farm from 24 Carrot Island?! This can possibly mean we have an island relating directly back to 24 Carrot, but it could also mean they are remaking it…

What do you think?

As a side note, the Poptropica Membership page has changed, possibly the first step to a New Poptropica.
