Always wanted a beard?

Sponsored by the PHB

Styling of hair has been a big thing in Poptropica for the past years. But as of yet the creation of a beard has not been a hit. Whether it’s that pre-pubescent children just cant manage to sprout a few hairs on their chin, or 8 – 15 year olds can’t even get the option to customize those golden bearded curls.

This will all change due to the new product by Codien called ‘Spray on Beard’. A beard in a can, how remarkable, just point cans nozzle towards ones desired area and press down firmly. Instant beard.
A quality product tested by profound scientists, they all agree  it’s safe to use.

Here’s what a random tester thought, “The perfect thing i need for my Poptropican. It’s Great”.

Codien is giving you the chance to get a beard just in time for Christmas. Only 30 will get one so head over to his blog now to enter.

Good Luck!

Hi everyone!  As you can probably guess since I’m posting in this blog, I’m a new author!  =D Hijuyo invited me to this awesome blog, so here I am! Some of you already know me from my blog, Poptropicalthunder’s blog, on the PHF, or just by my comments here.  Some of you, however, may not, so here’s some info about me:

I live in the USA, and I love Poptropica, helping others, and chatting. =D I love playing Soupwords or Paint War on Poptropica, and my poptropican name is –of course– Green Seal.   I hope to see you guys in Poptropica some day!  I’m 12 years old, in 7th grade, and my birthday is on September 12.  Oh, and here’s the most important thing you should know about me: I’m obsessed with cheese. =)

I’m gonna be posting updates on Poptropica on here, and I hope you’ll all like me *cough* and give me cheese cookies. *cough*

See you all soon,
Sparkle Star/Green Seal

P.S. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on the PHF. xD I really appreciate it. Thanks, Hyper Star, for being the first and is still congratulating me (See? I told you I would put you in the post. xD LOL.)

 

New Creators’ Blog Posts! YIPPIE!

Creators' Blog Post: "At the Station"

Seriously Dr.Hare? I mean you really can’t talk about going to jail, you’ve been there yourself at least 10 times.

“I’m talking to the, man in the mirror! I’m askin’ him to change his ways!” XD

Anyway, back to the post. Isn’t that the kid from the Fuel Up Ad, minus the “UGH-OUR-SCHOOL-MENU-SUCKS” mouth? Just an observation. =D

This post is obviously referring to the infamous Counterfeit Island. Here’s what PHF member Shaggy Tornado had to say about it, and I agree:

Awesome!
i think i know what the plot is about! A thief stole a painting and left a forgery, a counterfeit (hence the name) and u have to look for the painting and the thief!

Sounds possible, right? But of course, there’d be lots of other things in the plot, not just what Shaggy thought. I think that Master Mime is the head honcho of some huge counterfeit operations, and we’ll have to take him down.

Creators' Blog Post "Now this is what I call art!"

In this other Counterfeit Island Sneak Peak from the Bard, we can obviously tell that:

1. The Bard is inside an art museum
2. The picture in the frame is obviously not the one that’s really there
   in Counterfeit Island
3. This sneak peak further proves the “stolen painting” plot, stated above

The Binary translates to “The Scream”, a painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.

Also, has anyone noticed that the Creators are posting ALOT? I mean did their free time just double or something?

New Ad: “Night at the Museum 2″!

New Poptropica Ad: "Night at the Museum 2"

OK, first of all: WHY WOULD ANYONE, IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANT TO RE-ASSEMBLE A DINOSAUR? They’d have to have a death wish. “Oh thanks for putting me back together…I’ll just skip to the end of this and eat you.”

The goal of this ad is to find all of Rex’s Bones and re-assemble him. Once you do that, you get an awesome “Museum Guard” outfit, and Rex gets dinner. Works out for both of us, right?

S0me of you may remember how in my previous post I talked about finding a flashlight. When I posted about that on the PHF, member Serious Glove guessed that the flashlight would be apart of this ad! Congrats SG!

Before I end this post, I wanna say that I’ll be modifying The Poptroportex to include this ad!

• Counterfeit Island REALLY confirmed XD

 

Santa’s Sharks

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!!

Counterfeit Island REALLY confirmed XD

This just in!
It seems as if the Creators are trying to jam us chock-full of excitement for Counterfeit/French Island! Check out this new post by the new Creators’ Blog author Master Mime!

—-
Scooter Chase

You will get to zip through Counterfeit Island on a cool scooter. Wheeeeeeeeee!

MASTER MIME
—-

 

*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.

“Some Counterfeit Characters”

——

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

SHARK BOY

——

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

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?

Bigots.

EDIT: News on Poptropica. I’ll try to be as unfunny and boring as possible. There is a new post on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog.

 ”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:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q9BePaDQLzI/Sv2xBeYYl2I/AAAAAAAAAFU/vm4KLE5vtTc/s1600-h/little_fish.jpg

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.  

~~~ 

I am tired of the c**p I’m getting on the PHB and the PHF. Okay?I am tired of the h***phobia. Guess what? Motion banned me on both the PHF chat and the PHF. Forever. You know why? Trust me; next time you are arguing with Motion… just agree with him. Let his decision be right. Let his decision be rightfully moral. Trust me. (He’s always right anyway.)

I would write a huge post about what happened, but right now, it’s no use.

Goodbye. At least for now.

People I’d Like to Thank:

Nobody. Not even myself. Not even my own opinion.   

Actually, I guess I would like to thank GE, Seph, Trusty Hawk, and Hijuyo. EDIT: Oh, and I also forgot about Stanford!

That’s it. 

Hoping all of you go break a leg (except for the people I mentioned, of course), 

Smockers AKA Sir Hisopiniondoesn’tmatter 

Hope you enjoyed this post.

 

Boo Updates

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! <3

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*

Tata

 

The Return of…FRENCH ISLAND?!

Yes, I do realize I’ve been making all the posts of late. xD *cough*

Anyway, the Creators have a new blogeh posteh! And it’s about time too, since we haven’t gotten any news on islands in forever. The blog post is titled “Return of Comic Kid, and New Island?” WHY SO MYSTERIOUS CREATORS?

The post itself:

——-
Return of Comic Kid, and New Island?

Well, I’m finally back after a long trip of searching out new islands in Poptropica. I even had time to grab some hot chocolate along the way.

COMIC KID

Interesting indeed. What island do you think this’ll be? For some reason, I think it’s French Island. Maybe it’ll just be plain “Music Island” LOL. A member of the PHF even suggested that it’s another part of Reality TV island, however I don’t see how it would fit in. :/

The cut-off stage background says “Jazz Cafe”. As some of you might have noticed, the microphone and stool look as if they’re from Spy Island (in the Hair Club) although the one at the Hair Club is blue.

Another new update is the new addition to the “Buy Poptropica Credits” page. It now allows you to buy credits from your mobile phone! (Credit to Deathstalker of the PHF!)

Personally, I think this feature is useless – who’s going to buy credits from their phone? I just don’t see the point.

And so I end this post with 2 questions for you PHB readers (please answer them in your comments!):

1. What island do you think the Creators are referring to? French Island maybe?
2. Have you ever brought credits, plan to, or probably never will?

Until next time,
Coderkid

 

2 Cool Ads!…with not so cool prizes.

POST UPDATE: The Multiverse Project is back online!

Check it out, and don’t forget to tell me what you think! =D

WAS UP HOMIEZ?!! i iz har today *screen fizzles and rotates*

Woah…what just happened? OH NO! IT WAS MY ARCH NEMESIS, ANTI-MOTION! He must have escaped from his alternate dimension and tried to hijack my post! Well, he’s gone now, so on to THE POST! CUE DRAMA MUSIC! *silence* I SAID, CUE DRAMA MUSIC! *silence* Don’t make me come down – *music plays loudly* That’s what I thought. As I was saying, on to THE PO – *music plays* HEY! I didn’t say to cue – *more music plays* NOT funny guys.

Please excuse my special effects team, they must think it’s April Fools Day. One sec while I go knock some sense into them.

*goes off stage, screaming and load noises are heard, comes back*

Now that that’s been sorted out, we can finally move on! On to THE POST!

There’s two new Ads in Pop! (Credit to Happy Storm and Xarr of the PHF!)

• The Electric Company Ad, about a new TV show coming to PBS Kids. (NO, I DON’T WATCH PBS!!)
• The Monster INC. Ad, about the old movie coming to DVD and BlueRay (HI-DEF).

In The Electric Company Ad, there’s no mission or “problem” to solve, but simply a synopsis of the show, a trailer, and two actors from the show. The only thing to get out of this Ad is the costumes from the actors.

The other Ad, about the new version of Monster INC. DVD, actually does have a goal. You have to find the kid (or shall I say PopKid?) that’s escaped into the Monster Realm. Using the key cards you find (which allow you to access different rooms in the ad) you have to search for the girl. The reward is…”lack luster”. What you receive is a card that takes you to a “theater room” where you can watch the trailer for Monster INC.

Here’s some screenshots for both ads:

Monster INC Ad

The Electric Company Ad

I was asked to promote these 2 awesome blogs, by Adammos (Popular Thunder) and IkeWB!

• Poptropica People’s Blog – Adammos
• Poptropica Central – IkeWB

Be sure to check their awesome blogs out!

Lastly, I’d like to say that The Multiverse Project will be back up soon, it’s getting a few…renovations.

Peacing out,
this has been a message from mo-*fizzle, static* ANTI-MOTION! MUHAHAHAHAHA!
