Although the Airship has arrived Baron-less, the sky pirate’s Cabin of Curiosities is suspiciously well stocked and in order. Has Ack been holding down the fort? Whatever the case, there’s new discoveries to be made in the Airship’s popup shop! 🥳

 

First up: August’s free costume and the winner of last month’s costume contest. As always, choosing only one costume is a ridiculously tough decision. Thank you to everyone who participated in July’s contest round! August’s installment is set to begin tomorrow – keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming announcement and updated details. 

 

Now, without further ado, this month’s winning costume is… THE HAIR by Prickly Tooth! 🌵🦷

 

 

Add “The Hair” to your wardrobes (for FREE) to start customizing the ‘fit’s floral aura, silky tresses, white top, and brown bottoms. Massive props to Prickly Tooth for designing such a flowy, flowery costume! Well done!

 

 

On the opposite end of the Cabin of Curiosities, all players can scoop up another free outfit – The Banana costume – complete with a banana peel, yellow shades, and sword. Like last month’s Cabin haul, August’s inventory highlights another character: The Baron! Despite the sky pirate’s absence, the Baron (and their trusty sidekick, Ack) are the main inspirations for the clubhouse collection.

 

Browse the Baron and Ack Painting (300 credits), Ack Plushie (200 credits), Ack’s Litter Box (5 credits), Wooden Mug (10 credits), Chest of Scrolls (100 credits)? Perhaps they seem familiar? Where have we seen these items before? 🤔

 

Remember, the Airship and its Cabin contents are only available for a limited time! Be sure to stop by the floating vessel ASAP to secure this month’s 2 free costumes and the Baron and Ack’s clubhouse collectables. Don’t let the captain’s absence fool you – the Airship waits for no one!

 

What are your first impressions of August’s Cabin of Curiosities haul? How weird is the Airship without the Baron?! Does anyone else feel the difference? Let us know! 👀

Happy Monday, Poptropicans! There’s tons to cover today in the shopping sphere. Shall we dive right into the action?

 

First things first – monthly member gifts! Although this month’s delivery is 10 days shy of a full moon, August’s exclusive edition is a fur-nomenal howl!

 

Members can now find this month’s Werewolf costume, Werewolf Feet, and a Little Moon Follower in their inventories! Transform your Popsona into a howling werewolf at a moment’s notice, full moon not required. 🐺🌙

 

 

Adventure Outfitters is also sportin’ a fresh feel for the back-to-school season!

 

 

Highlights from this week’s featured costumes include two robo-suits: Xenon Trooper (250 credits) and Retro Robot (350 credits, members only), two sets of bucket hat ensembles, Tie Dye Trends (250 credits) and Frog Buckets (250 credits), and matching workout gear with the Fitness Fun (250 credits) and Body Builder outfits (150 credits, members only). Like the saying goes: “Good things come in pairs.” 👯‍

 

But there’s more good things to be found in-store, sans pair. All players can still purchase last month’s new fantasy ‘fits, Cloaked Rogue and Demon Mischief (350 credits each), while members have the option of adding the Acidic Dinosaur (150 credits) and Glam Gamer Girl (250 credits) costumes to their wardrobes.

 

Alongside the updated costume rotation, AO’s restocked its college clubhouse collection!

 

 

Just in time for back to school, players of all ages can decorate their clubhouses with a variety of transportation: Green and Purple Electric Bikes (200 credits each), Red College-style Electric Scooter (100 credits, members only), and Skateboard (200 credits), plus a rad Singer Poster (75 credits, members only). 🛵

 

For after school snacks, the Burger (75 credits), Chocolate Shake (75 credits), Soda Bottle (75 credits), Soda Can (75 credits), and Sub Sandwich (75 credits) are a must! 🥤🥪

 

What do you think about this week’s store update? Do you see a redecorating session in your future? Are you in the mood to share the back-to-school season with your Poptropican?

 

We want to know! Share your thoughts and responses in the comments section with your fellow players! 🤔

 

 

Buckle up, Poptropicans. This isn’t your average Baron visit, it’s certainly a sight to see! 👀

 

Board the Airship and make your way into the Baron’s treasure trove, the Cabin of Curiosities. Before making a beeline for the free gear, there’s a good chance you’ll notice an unusual spin on this month’s Cabin collection – it’s almost impossible to ignore.

 

Personally tailored by the Baron, July’s pop up shop inventory features a brass Rumpel Skull (50 credits), Rumpel Lamp (30 credits), Gold Rumpel Statue (100 credits), Unicorn Plushie (30 credits), Rumpel Plushie (100 credits), and a costume boasting an eccentric mashup of villains – Dr. Rumpel Bunskin (10 credits). The mysterious bundle totals 320 credits, not bad for a Rumpel redesign!

 

If you’re suspicious of the Baron’s sudden liking to Rumpelstiltskin, fear not! According to the sky pirate, they’re perfectly fine and “all of us little adventurers could learn a thing or two from him.” Hmm… the eye twitching "with the thrill of adventure" might say otherwise.

 

 

Nonetheless, the Baron’s Cabin of Curiosities wouldn’t be complete without its free player-designed costume! Presenting, the winner of June’s costume contest…

 

 

STAR KID by Busy Bee! 🌟💫

 

Stellar space outfit all around – the star eye patch and planetary tee are lovely additions to the winning lineup. Congratulations on your cosmic costume, Busy Bee! 👏👏

 

This is your sign to pay the Baron a visit ASAP! The Star Kid costume is FREE TO ALL PLAYERS while the Airship is docked on Home Island! There’s no telling if or when winning designs will return, so don’t miss July’s limited edition drop!

 

Honorable mentions: check out the entirety of players’ submissions from last month’s contest – there are tons of absolute gems (too many to count)! Shoutout to everyone who participated in June’s contest round! 🤩

Now, it’s time to present this month’s winner. Without further ado, put your hands together for…

 

The De-man costume by Striped Thunder! Congratulations Striped Thunder, you designed an incredible outfit! ⛈

 

The De-man costume takes extra to a completely different level. The outfit includes a polished set of horns, bat wings, dragon tail, a singular fang, and facial markings that fit just below your eyes.

The De-man costume is available to ALL players, for FREE! Don’t miss this month’s free outfit, courtesy of the Baron and Striped Thunder. 🆓🆓
