Just like they did for Steamworks Island, the Creators have announced the first 10 people who have finished Great Pumpkin Island. These people, of course, are members.
Linus may wait all night for the Great Pumpkin, but we didn’t have to wait long for the first 10 Poptropicans to complete Great Pumpkin Island. Congratulations to the first 10 finishers!
1. Hyper Shark
2. Fierce Moon
3. Cool Typhoon
4. Slippery Plug
5. Tough Bite
6. Small Crush
7. Blue Sky
8. Magic Singer
9. Quick Turtle
10. Bendy Ghost
We’ll look forward to seeing many more of you earning that Island medallion!
BINARY BARD
I think that the Creators should make it so that they announce the first ten members to complete the new island, and then, when the island opens up to everybody, they should announce the first ten non-members to complete the new island. Just an idea.
Anyway, congratulations to anyone who has completed Great Pumpkin Island, weather your the first ten people to finish it, or if your someone who wasn’t included in the list, I wish that I was you right now. 😉
See? I told you! Non-members will be able to play on Great Pumpkin Island on October 14th.
Before I go, I just have to say one thing: This is my first official post on The Poptropican Data Blog! 😀 I know I’ve already said this about ten times (not really) and that I’m probably overdoing it, but thank you SO much for letting me an author on your blog, Neat Tornado!
Hi peoples! I’m Icy Comet and I’m the newest author of The Poptropican Data Blog! I want to thank Neat Tornado for letting me be an author, so: THANK YOU!!!! I hope that I’ll be a great author on your blog! That is all for now, I hope that I get a chance to post real soon! 😀
O.K, I know I’ve been gone a while, and I was busy, but I NEED AUTHORS! I can’t keep this blog going on my own ya know. O.K, I will go from the latest post, and go from there………..
Imagine having something like this on display in your home. You’d need a pretty big house — not to mention money to burn!
What kind of bird is that, anyway?
Sorry about no picture… I am trying to fix that. Just to catch you up, there is a new island called the Great Pumpkin Island, and it stars the Penuts Charicters. so…. thats it. I need more authors, so just make a comment and I will e-mail you.
Here it is! Today until July 30, all new and existing Poptropica Members will get this free costume added to their inventory. All you have to do is log into your game with a valid Membership!
Boy oh boy, that is one sweet looking mech pilot costume.
Wait a minute… what the heck is a “mech?”
COMIC KID
A mech is a huge ‘robot’ with huge guns to destroy anything in their path. (Thank the poptropica gods this island is coming out*heavenly music starts playing*)
Now. to the glitch……. SOME NON-MEMBERS GET THE COSTUME TOO! That’s right, some non-members(like myself, weeeeeeeell, on some accounts anyway, and I’m not on the dark side because I have membership) got the member’s only coustume.
Hello peoples, LETS PARTY! I did the best thing eva! O.K, I was bored on poptropica, so I kept typing in random codes in the multiverse bar, and the next thing I know, I’m in the party shown here…..
Have you had a chance to try out the new Hammerhead Shark costume in the Poptropica Store? I thought about it, but I couldn’t bear to look at myself in the mirror. What would my shark parents think?
Don’t forget, there are lots more neat ways to dress up like your favorite ocean predator in Poptropica. Also available in the store is this mean-looking Tiger Shark:
You don’t need credits for all the fishy fun. On Shark Tooth Island, a street vendor will give you this snazzy dorsal fin, free of charge!
And, of course, you can always visit the lowest level of the Shark Museum on Shark Tooth Island and costumize the most handsome museum employee around.
All this neat shark stuff — it’s almost enough to get me to crack a smile! Almost.
That’s not true: I want everything else to be free. In the Poptropica Store, I mean. Even though most of those sweet, sweet Gold Cards cost me my precious Credits, there are plenty of free items to go around.
Like mini-quests!
The avatar studio!
Candy canes!
Popgum!
(What is it, bubblegum week around here? Wake me up when there’s a carrot-flavored gum. Sheesh.)
Of course, for Poptropica Members, everything in the store is free, even costumes. But you knew that already.
DR. HARE
If you’re wondering why the graduation coustume isn’t there, it isn’t free anymore. =(
Dr.Hare: YES! I made the coustume not free!
Neat Tornado: Is that the best you could do?
Dr: Hare: No, I have HENCHMEN!
Henchmen #1: Cinimenion?
Neat Tornado: Really? A Despicable Me henchmen?
Henchmen #2: Cinimenon?
Dr.Hare: No thanks. And Yes, they were the best I could find.
Neat Tornado: You mean you took them?
Dr.Hare: Yes.
Henchmen #1: Nom Cinimenion?
Neat Tornado: I was thinking we could nom some stuffed RABBIT(without the stuffed part)!
Dr.Hare: Where are you going to find stuffed ra…. Oh no
Neat Tornado: Oh yes.
*the henchmen and I move toward Dr.Hare, Ready to nom*
The fireworks are another new item in the store. Just launch them and watch the fireworks shower above. I recommend using them on top of a tall building on Spy Island, or at the Pirate Outpost. Just try not to light them too close to the gun powder on Pirate Outpost. We don’t want to have to release an injured victim outfit in the store.
And last, don’t forget those Silly Streams. Always fun for spraying at friends, and innocent mimes that are often too easy of a target.
For Steamworks Island, the we’ll pit you against a variety of mutated plant monsters. But how did we make the creepiest, crawliest, ickiest plant monsters around?
We started by brainstorming.
These are just some of the sketches we drew to help us visualize what our monstrous creations would look like. Not all of the sketches will make it into the final product — in fact, most won’t — but this allows us to try out different ideas. Then we’ll take the very best concepts and work them into Poptropica.
Yesterday, you saw some of the earliest ideas for the plant monsters that will appear on the next Poptropica island, Steamworks Island. This one seemed appropriately icky.
It’s still no more than a sketch — just an outline of an idea. But we’re already thinking about how the plant will look when it’s colored and detailed, and how it will move. The next step is to take this sketch and Poptropica-ize it!
After settling on a sketch we liked, it was time for to give a little more life to the plant monster that will be menacing players on Steamworks Island.
Below are two approaches to the plant monster. Can you spot the differences between them?
Little details, like the color of the planter, and big ones, like the plant’s eye, can make a big difference in the monster’s appearance.
We’ve got a pretty scary looking monster at this point, but what good is a monster if it can’t attack? This monster can swing its seed pods around from its head, before throwing them at you at high speed.
Looks like you’re pretty small next to this thing, doesn’t it? That’s not all — we haven’t even seen the plant monster in motion yet.
Now that the we’ve decided what this plant monster should look like on the new Poptropica Island, Steamworks Island, the next step is to decide how the monster should move. We put together a quick and dirty animation test:
Bet you wouldn’t want to run into that thing in a dark alley!
All this has taken us nearly to the completion of a plant monster for Steamworks Island. We may still decide to change the monter’s behavior, or some aspects of its appearance. After a few final touches, we’ll put it all together — but you’ll have to wait until Steamworks Island launches to see it!
I hope everyone is having a fun summer, while they squish red crabs on the beach. If you want to surprise your friends, try out the Hammerhead costume. It comes with a warm, limp fish.

Cool, huh? I can’t wait for Steamworks island.
Again, i will post every time I see a creators blog post.
Confusing title, I know. But… Get ready for…. the best island eva… it’s… it’s………………..IT’s………………………………….
*comercial break* Go poptropica’s newest island……………….. ********** ******.(no it’s not a bad word, it the newest island name covered) *comercial break ends*
All week we’ve been showing you sneak peeks of the newest Poptropica island currently in development, and we’ve promised to reveal the island’s name.
The time has come. My fellow Poptropicans, the Poptropica creators are proud to announce their newest creation:
STEAMWORKS ISLAND is coming soon!
Make sure to visit the official Poptropica creators’ blog often for the latest news and announcements about Steamworks Island, including some of the incredible gameplay features we have in store.
MASTER MIME
Cool huh? Now, to poptropica to hassle and weasle some information out of the creators for steamworks island.
Many of you have noticed that there is a new Poptropica island in the works. We’ve decided to share a few sneak peeks of this mysterious, mechanical island.
You’ll need a few gadgets to get past some tricky puzzles and wacky, wild monsters — and I’m not talking about your dad’s pocket knife.
Here are a couple of gizmos that you won’t find in your home toolbox. One of these will help you on your quest to victory, cheering fans, and instant popularity…well, at least victory.
“Multi Tool”? Hmm, what do you think it does?
Come back all week for more sneak peeks. Then, on Friday, we’ll announce the name of the new island. You’ll get it here first, so keep those eyeballs glued to the blog for more exciting peeks.
Yesterday, we introduced a handy tool that you will need for the next Poptropica island, called the “Multi Tool.” I can imagine that you may be thinking, “Multi Tool?…Hmmm…It must be used for multiple tasks.”
It’s true that this device will do more than open a can of soup.
This is not the only tool you will need to make your way through the next Poptropica adventure. Tomorrow we will show you another inventory item that you are certain to have a blast using.
You dyna-might want to take a look at this next item. Ok, I know that was a terrible joke.
Take a gander at these sketches of dynamite. This explosive gadget is a little more complicated than the stick of clay you are used to seeing.
Come back tomorrow to see the final image of this dynamite with some color. And don’t forget that on Friday, we’re revealing the name of the new island for the first time.
Yesterday to keep the sneak peeks rolling out the door, we showed concept sketches of dynamite for the new island.
Here is the finished version. This is something that you are not allowed to hold while chasing your brothers around the campfire.
Look at all those gauges and wires. I had to read a 500 page manual to learn how to use it properly. Though, I accidentally discovered that throwing it works too.
Now that you’ve seen a glimpse of the design style of some of these items, can you guess what kind of island this is going to be?
Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for the announcement of the new island name!

Gander, Really? O.K, I almost have that hiring page up! I was thinking everything was part of the attractions at MONSTER CARNIVAL ISLAND, but I have to keep dreaming. =)
If you’ve earned enough doubloons on Skullduggery Island to buy the Phoenix Warbird, then you know it’s the fiercest craft around, even more than Captain Crawfish’s ship.
But how did the Phoenix Warbird go from idea to reality? First, one of the Poptropica creators had the brilliant notion of making the most powerful ship on Skullduggery Island have a bird theme. To explain his idea, he drew this sketch:
Neat, huh? But that was just the beginning of a long journey.
Over the next couple of days, we’ll show you more. Stay tuned.
On Skullduggery Island, players start with a junky old sloop, and earn doubloons to buy bigger and better boats. Early on, the Poptropica creators knew they wanted the most powerful ship to have an animal theme.
Even so, there were still dozens and dozens of smaller decisions to make. Should the boat look realistic or fantastical? How big should it be? Should it be scary?
To explore the possibilities, the designers made a few more sketches.
After another round of discussion (okay, arguments), the creators settled on a direction and set to work on the final version.
Poptropica fans already know that the Phoenix Warbird is the strongest ship on Skullduggery Island. But it didn’t always look that way! The designers went through several rounds of revisions, tweaking existing ideas and coming up with new ones.
Finally, they had settled on the basic design and set to work putting it into Poptropica. The first step: a black-and-white wireframe, which adapts the earlier sketches into the Poptropica style.
See that little box above the ship and to the right? That’s to help the designers remember how large the ship is in comparison to your Poptropican.
The ship isn’t finished yet. There are more design tweaks to be made, not to mention the most fun part: Coloring!
You’ve already seen how the mighty Phoenix Warbird started life as a simple pencil sketch. (Wait, you haven’t? Check out the first part of our behind-the-scenes look at Skullduggery Island.)
The creators worked hard to get the details right, and now it’s time to give the Phoenix Warbird a sprinkling of that old Poptropica magic.
The designers color in the black-and-white outline they made earlier. They create a simple background of water and sky to demonstrate how the ship will appear in Skullduggery Island. And, as before, they add a little reference box that shows how big the Warbird is compared to a Poptropican.
The Phoenix Warbird is almost ready to set sail on Skullduggery Island!
With the colors and the scale of the Phoenix Warbird in place, it’s time for a few final tweaks to the design. For that extra “oomph,” the creators give the ship a set of fierce-looking talons.And it’s done! Starting with one basic idea, the creators sketch out different possibilities, choose a direction, and then refine and improve the design until the final version you see here.
Here’s how it looks next to an actual Poptropican.
Huge, isn’t it?
And here’s a look at the Phoenix Warbird when it takes to the seas.
Pirates of Skullduggery Island, tremble in fear!
Quite a journey from concept to reality, huh? How far we’ve come:
Of course, seeing the Phoenix Warbird in pictures is one thing. Taking the helm of this mighty vessel is quite another.
Have you earned enough doubloons in Skullduggery Island to buy the Phoenix Warbird? If not, what are you waiting for? Play Skullduggery Island now!
