The last time I did a post on sneak peeks from Daily Pop was in September.  So it goes without saying that I have a lot to talk about.  So, I think I’m going to skip trying to think of a good introduction and go straight to the sneak peeks.  That will save me time…and I won’t have to try and think of a good way to open this post.  I’ve already failed at that.

Dry Dock- At last, your ship has come in.

I’m guessing that this might be something from a city-themed island.  It just looks like something that would fit in a big city.  Or maybe it’s something from a sea-themed island.  Who knows?  It might be from Zomberry Island, but I’m not sure.

Wok Hard- Don’t look too closely at the menu.

This is definitely from Zomberry Island.  It’s in one of the pictures on the info-page.

Bachelor Pad- An inviting residence for the young at heart.

This looks like it could maybe be a someone’s room in an island.  I’m not sure what kind of island it would be for, though.

Under Construction- We’re building a better island.

Obviously a construction site…  This is from Zomberry Island, as well.  It’s in the downloadable desktop wallpaper from the info-page.

What Four- Some possibilities for the design of a new character.

According to the caption, it’s a sketch for the design of a new character.  I’m not sure which one a like the best.  It’s weird, but, in one way, they’re really alike, and, in another way, they’re really different.  I guess it would depend on what kind of a character it’s for.

Emergency Exit- They didn’t drill for this calamity.

I’m guessing that this is from Zomberry Island as well.  It fits in with the sort of chaotic/panicky feel that the island has.  If it’s not from Zomberry Island, then it might be from some other sort of city-themed island.  I’m not sure what else to think about it, except that I sure am sorry for whoever was in that schoolbus.

Green Glow- The secret is: there’s no secret of the ooze.

I’m not sure what to think about this one.  It looks like it might be from a city-themed island.  It could possibly be from Zomberry Island.  If it is, than it looks like it would be in around the same area as the schoolbus.

Home Sweet Home- Nothing like a cozy unliving room.

It looks like a room from someone’s house or apartment.  Not sure what kind of island it could be for, but whoever lives in that place sure must like science.

Bunk- Perhaps you, too, will love the 90s.

Hmm…  Maybe, cause the caption says “Perhaps, you, too will love the 90s”, maybe that means that you travel back in time to the 90s?  Or, that could be a room that was decorated in the 90s and was never changed.  Neither of those sound very likely, but you never know.

Magic Machine- This thing will wake you up in the morning.

I’m not sure what this thing is…  It looks like some kind of weird, crazy, giant coffee machine.

Be a Star- It’s time for you to take center stage.

…Nice disco ball… *cough*  Anyway, it looks like maybe this could be a common room for an island.  It just has a typical-common-room sort of feel to it.  But, of course, it could be something completely different.  And it probably is, considering I’m never right about these things…

Traffic Jam- Looks like we took a wrong turn.

This looks like it could be either from Zomberry Island or some other city-themed island.  Whatever it’s from, I sure am sorry for that city.  First they have a schoolbus-wreck, then they have a bunch of green ooze spilling all over the place, and now they have yet another wreck with oil spilling all over the place.

Power Load- Just watch me explode!

This looks like a control panel for maybe some kind of machinery.  It might be from Zomberry Island, considering that there’s a construction site there.  Whatever it is, I have a feeling we are going to be up high, judging by the post-it-note that says “Don’t Look Down”.  Just what a person who’s scared to death of heights has always dreamed of.  I just thought of this, but doesn’t that guy look sort of like Joe Puddy from the comics about Zomberry Island?

The Bungalow-Down- Real estate prices have been plummeting around here.

It looks like someone’s house.  I think it’s almost definitely from Zomberry Island.  You can tell by the background.

Can It- Yep, we’re making you paw through somebody’s trash again.

I don’t know where the Creators got the idea that we actually like going through garbage cans, but I’m getting pretty tired of it.  I think having to actually walk through the trash in Shrink Ray Island was the last straw…

Cast of Characters- You’ll meet them all on an upcoming island.

No idea what kind of island these characters could be from.  All I know is that the first two Poptropicans’ outfits are sort of…well…weird.  They might possibly be from Zomberry Island, but I don’t know.

Train in Vain- Go nowhere fast in this subway tunnel.

This might be from Zomberry Island, considering that it has graffiti all over the place, and that face on the subway looks kind of like a zombie, but I’m not sure…

Total Bunk- Front door’s locked up tight.

Definitely from Zomberry Island.  You can see it in one of the comics released by the Creators.

A Little Perspective- You’re the first person to see this view.

It looks like it is some sort of lab.  What for, I have no idea.  I can’t help but be reminded of Shrink Ray Island when I look at that microscope.  Hopefully, the Creators don’t have another island where we get shrunk by a baddie planned for us.

Harvest- There’s a bad moon on the rise.

I’m not sure what this could be from.  It looks like it could really be from anything…

Dorf Goes Driving- Curse these good for nothing imports.

This is obviously some sort of broken down car.  Maybe “Dorf” is the name of the car?  I’m not sure what kind of island it would be from, though.

Find My Phone- Where is my phone? Have you seen it?

It looks like some sort of website where you can find your lost phone.  Maybe in some island your Poptropican gets a cell phone and then goes and looses it.  Or maybe you have to find someone’s cell phone to get a clue on how to beat an island or something like that.

Trick or Treat- Unwrap something tasty this Halloween.

This is from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  It’s from the beginning of the island.  You can tell how far behind I am on the sneak peeks just by looking at this one. 😉

After Hours- Concept art for a brand-new island.

The way this is sketched makes it look like it’s going to be for some kind of sci-fi sort of island.  Maybe will be, maybe it won’t.

Squirrely- They’ll go nuts if you mess with their stuff.

This one is also from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  It’s sort of weird to look back and see sneak peeks and actually know what island they’re for instead of just having to guess.  It sort of takes the fun out of them.

Pail Imitation- What’s for lunch?

I’m going to take a wild guess and say that this is someone’s lunchbox.  😉  It looks like there’s a note underneath the banana, maybe that will be a clue in a future island.

Eau de Toilet- It’s made with bits of real panther.

It looks like a perfume stand.  Just in case you don’t know, “eau de toilet” is french for “toilet water”.  Toilet water is like perfume, it’s not actually water from a toilet.  The sign looks like it says “eau de peur”, which means “water of fear”.  …Sort of weird isn’t it…

Mixed Fruits- They’re always in season.

This is definitely something from Zomberry Island.  Maybe you find this in the Berry Delicious Smoothie Shop.  Maybe it’s the smoothies that are turning all those fruit-crazy Poptropicans into zombies.

Waters Fall- This fountain rocks!

It is either a waterfall that looks like a fountain, or a fountain that looks like a waterfall.  Which makes no sense either way.  Those green things look like they’re either statues or bushes that have been trimmed to look like animals.  It looks like there’s an eagle or some other kind of bird, a deer, and a shark.

Sports Legends- Only the finest sports collectibles.

It looks like maybe some shelves from a store or something.  Not sure what kind of island it would be from, but if you like sports then you’re bound to like this!

UV Rays- You might as well be walking on the sun.

This looks like a sketch for an island.  What kind of island, I have no idea.  Although it looks like it might be a clothing store…

The Land of Nod- There’s no better place to catch forty winks.

This one looks like it’s a sketch for an island, as well.  I don’t know what kind of an island this would be for, either.

Very Authentic- Don’t ever settle for mostly authentic.

It looks like a Chinese restaurant.  Besides stating the very obvious fact, I can’t think of much else to say about this picture…except that I don’t know what to say about it.

Trendspotting- You’ll find your outfits to be a very popular subject.

It looks like part of a clothing shop.  Maybe it’s either part of the same shop or mall as the store in the “UV Rays” sneak peek.

Pet Shop Boys- Go on safari for your next best friend.

So, it looks like it’s part of a pet shop.  Maybe the next island is “mall island”.  Probably not, but it’s strange that there a bunch of store-themed sneak peeks.  I’m sort of worried about the case where the coral snake is supposed to be, though.  Either the snake has been sold, or it escaped.  The idea of an escaped snake isn’t the best thing in the world.

Take a Swing- Get in a few cuts down at the batting cage.

It looks like it’s from the same place as the “Sports Legend” sneak peek.  Maybe it’s part of the same store, or something.

Foliage Fest- Trees for all seasons.

Three trees and a garbage can.  Beautiful.  The caption says “trees for all seasons”.  I can’t help but wonder what season the garbage can would be for. 😉

The Blueprint- Perhaps a whiteprint is a more accurate term.

This is a plan for one big building.  Very fancy.

Atrium- This is as classy as it gets, folks.

It seems that, possibly, the blueprint above this is the outside of this mall.  Maybe the section that says “Chinese” is where the Chinese restaurant in the “Very Authentic” sneak peek goes.

The Red Door- What hides behind it?

These doors look like the doors to the fitting rooms in the “Trendspotting” sneak peek.  Except without the closed signs.  Maybe the fitting rooms lead to another, secret room?  Probably not, but still.

Pet Shop Boys- Caring for these creatures is a big responsibility.

This looks like it’s part of the same store as the other “Pet Shop Boys” sneak peek.  There’s a skull above the sign.  A pet shop with a skull in it…odd.

Eating Good- We’ll get you a couple of apps while you look over the menu.

Is it just me, or does this restaurant look very much like an Applebee’s?  Even the name is sort of the same.  I’m not surprised, though, considering the Creators have advertised Poptropica through Applebee’s several times before.  I wonder what the “couple of apps” part of the description means.

The Champ is Here- Here in our memories, that is.

This looks like it’s probably from the same sports themed store/place.  I think the thing on the left is a picture.  I have no idea what the thing on the right is, though.

Best of the Best- A Poptropica designer’s work is never done.

Looks like a bigger version of the pic above this one.  Without the thing on the right, of course.  I’m guessing that this is also part of the same sports themed store.

Inspect Your Gadget- You’ll wonder how you ever lived without these handy, dandy devices.

This looks like a sketch for another store.  I’m not sure how how many of these devices I would use.  I could definitely use the flouride peanut butter.  After all, you can never have too healthy teeth.  The magnetic toothbrush isn’t the craziest gadget here, but I’d be worried about something getting on my toothbrush.  The alarm clock curling iron I could definitely use, cause I loose track of time very easily.  The fish bowl hat…I’d be scared a would tilt my head a little too far and the fish would fall…  If, for the shocking alarm pillow, they mean shock as in electricity, I wouldn’t want that.  My hair is frizzy enough as it is.  The pocket hibachi grill…I don’t even know what a hibachi grill is.  The voice-activated toilet paper is just weird.  And I still don’t know what to think about the R.C. Shower.

Fashion Plate- Try before you buy.

It looks like yet another store.  I think it might be part of the same store as the one in the “Trendpotting” sneak peek.

Whoopzie- Try not to gag on all of these gifts.

Looks like a sign and some posters for a joke gift shop.  A bunch of classic jokes with new names.

Le Pew- Eau, what’s that smell?

It looks like a good version of the perfume stand in the earlier sneak peek.  Maybe the two stands are rivals…

Shop Smart- You’d better make it to the mall in time.

It looks like this is the sign to the mall with all of the shops that we’ve been seeing.  The description makes me think that we’re going to have to get to the mall in a certain amount of time.  Just an idea.

To the Cloud- Float away to the land of nod.

It looks like this is part of the place that we saw in the “The Land of Nod” sneak peek.  I couldn’t tell what it was before, but now it looks like it’s a mattress shop, a bed shop, or both.  I can’t help but be reminded of The Princess and the Pea when I look at all the mattresses piled up like that.

Making Copies- For all your printing needs.

Looks like a store where you can make copies and print things…and stuff…  That was pretty obvious.  The sign in the picture reminds me of FedEx’s logo with the two different colors in the name.

Well, that’s it.  It’s taken me awhile to do this post with all these sneak peeks.  I’m glad to be done.  😉  I hope you enjoyed it!  Just in case you’re confused, the captions under the pictures are the descriptions from Daily Pop.  The writing underneath that is what I thought of the picture.

Now that I’ve finished this, I’m going to start working on finishing that 24 Carrot Island video guide that I have worked on in forever.  I’ll also start working on doing a Pop Picture Contest sometime soon, so stay tuned!

Christmas is coming closer and closer, so here’s an early message!

Merry Christmas!

~IC

There have been a lot of really cool sneak peeks added to Daily Pop recently.  Some seem to be for the upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory island, others look like they are for a possible city-themed island, and others I can’t figure out what they’re for.  So, let’s take a look at them!

Rollin On The River- Concept art for an upcoming action scene.

I think this might be for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory island.  I never saw the movies or read the book, but isn’t there supposed to be a river scene?  Or maybe that was just my imagination.  But, I don’t know, this just seems to fit in with some previous sneak peeks for this island.

To The Podium- The star of the show, coming soon.

I think this one’s for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well.  Those colors seem to be Charlie-and-the-Chocolate-Factory-ish.

Go Nuts- But only go nuts inside the nut room, please.

Definitely Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  See the “W” above the sign and on the door?

When The Bough Breaks- It is totally delicious.

The broken branch looks like it could be the same broken branch as the one in the first sneak peek.  And also there are lollipops coming up out of the ground, so I’m going to have to say Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Silver Screen- It’s one of our favorite famous monsters of filmland.

Ah, thank you!  Finally something that’s not Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  I got tired of writing that.  Anyway, this looks like a movie theater.  The description says “one of our favorite famous monsters”.  The thing on the screen must be a monster.  So far the only monster I’ve thought of is Frankenstein.  But I don’t know if that would be it…

Go Nuts- Nothing out of the ordinary here, no sir.

Hmm….  I don’t know what to think about this one.  It looks like the completed version of a previous sneak peek (see this post).  It looks like it belongs in the city-themed island, but why would it have the same name as one of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sneak peeks?  Is that a glitch or mistake, or is that supposed to be some kind of a hint?  Ugh, the suspense is killing me!

Disco Inferno- Simmer down now.

I think this is either for a new character or for a costume.  If it’s for a costume, I think I would like the one on the left best.  Although, I could definitely see my Poptropican wearing the one on the right’s headphones.

Containment- If it fits, it ships.

This might be for the city-themed island.  Or it might be for something else.  It’s hard to tell.

Smooth Move- You’ll be berry glad you came.

I’m guessing that this one’s for the city-themed island.  Although, I couldn’t  help but be reminded of Strawberry Shortcake when I read the “The Berry Delicious Smoothie Shop” sign in the picture and the “You’ll be berry glad you came” description.  At the top of the picture there’s a sign that says “M something Corp”, I couldn’t read the middle part of the sign.  I don’t know, but it seems like the city-themed island has a lot to do with food, so that makes me think that maybe, possibly, the city-themed island and the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory island might be the same.  Or at least maybe related.  Of course that’s just a guess.  I don’t know if there’s a city in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or not.

Apartment Hunter- Is this your home, sweet home?

This one looks like a room that we might see in future islands.  It’s hard to say what kind of island I think this would be for.  It could really be in any island.

Well, that’s it!  Hope you enjoyed looking at these sneak peeks, and I hope my little comments didn’t bore you too much! 😉  See ya later!

It’s time for another Daily Pop Sneak Peeks!  …Well, since I can’t think of anything to say, let’s just go ahead and get started!

Aw, Nuts- Nuts of all shapes and sizes!

TV Party- We’ve got nothing better to do…

Pull My Leg- This is looking like a wheel of misfortune.

A-Maze-Ing- The magistrate made it all the way to the end, but can you?

Camera Shy- It almost looks like an alien invader.

Dogfight- Never in the history of chocolate have so many owed so much to so few.

Panel Discussion- Best be sure before you press that button.

Main Squeeze- Get ready to be put through the ringer.

Deep Scan- The Ego has landed.

Deep and Dark- There’s nothing sweet about this dangerous place.

Sleep Now- Now let’s get out of this gas-filled hallway before we all suffocate.

In Outline- We only need the broad strokes when laying out scenes.

Cup of Joe- I like my coffee like I like my comedy: black.

Awesome!  It seems like there are so many amazing islands about to come out!  I can’t wait! 😀

It’s been over two months since I last did a Daily Pop Sneak Peeks post.  Sorry about that, you guys!  I really need to get more regular about this.

So anyway, you’ve probably seen some of these sneak peeks before, and, for some of them, the island has already come out that they were for.  But, you’re going to see them anyway.

So, the pictures are below, and, underneath the pictures, there are the descriptions from Daily Pop.

Well, that’s it for now.  Some of these look pretty cool!  I can’t wait to see what new islands are coming out!

It’s been over a month since I’ve done a post about sneak peeks from Daily Pop.  Any particular reason for that?  Yep, there’s one amazing reason for me not posting about the sneak peeks for such a long time.  I forgot about it.  😉

Anyway, here are the sneak peeks!

Transmission- But what does it mean?

~IC

P.S. Ever notice how when you say my Poptropican’s initials (IC), it sounds like my Poptropican’s first name (Icy)?  Just sayin’.
