Unreleased Items + Shop Shoutout

 Hey jammers! Popcorn here, and welcome to a new post!

In this post: 

Announcement-ish - Just something I want to clarify :)

Shop Shoutout - Shoutout a shop in Jamaa

AJ Ally - We've got a funny and positive AJ Ally today CX

Unreleased Items - Let's take a look at a few unreleased items (that I honestly think are very fascinating)

Let's get straight into the post!

<><><>

To start off today's post I just want to clarify a tiny little thing! 

So, recently something happened with my Google account which I use to run this blog. It was hacked, or glitched but nothing major and it didn't affect any personal account things. 

Fortunately, my dad has a Google account as well, so that's what I'm currently using. Unfortunately, whenever I try to follow a blog it publicly shows his name and email which is only used for his work. That means that I currently can't follow any blogs right now (but you all don't know how much I would like to xd). I do follow them privately, but they don't display so it doesn't look like I do! 

I just wanted to clear that up, in case you were wondering why I would always comment on your blogs but never follow or anything X) 

Anyways, moving on :)

Next up, we have Shop Shoutout! The special shop getting a shoutout today is... 

Temple of the Ancients

Basic Info

Description: The Temple of the Ancients is a shop in Balloosh that can be accessed through 2 temple doors. There is blue, glowing water running through it and a large Juno statue up 2 stairwells.

Location: Up the first set of stairs you see in Balloosh

First Released: March 2018

Fun Facts:

• There is a shop next to the Juno statue that sells Juno armor
• Little messages from the Alphas are scattered throughout the temple!

Onto the AJ Ally!

Today's AJ Ally was actually one started by me! I decided to document it because it was the events after that deserved a spot onto the AJ Ally. 

Anyways, today while I was praising ol' hero Juno (read left to right) --->

After I "finished" xD, I saw a little fennec fox in the corner doing the little sad emote. I asked them why they were "crying", and they said it was because they didn't have any friends. A wolf (the one that said "bows" in the last picture) came over to them and said "I'll be your friend! Do you have a play wild account? We can buddy you there too!" The fennec fox then did the little smile emote. I actually ended up becoming friends with both of them :) 

That might've sounded kinda cringey, but it was the kindness from that wolf that sprouted a friendship between 2 jammers and made someone's day :') 

Go wolf! XP

Finally, onto

Some of my favorite Unreleased Items! I got this idea from Graciepopstar91 and her blog, The Animal Jam Friendship Community! Credit goes to her :)

1. Ostrich

The first thing that caught my eye was the unreleased Ostrich animal. It was recorded in a poll for what jammers would like to see in Jamaa but lost. It was among 2 other options, the Falcon and the Sloth (both currently in the game)

This is a nice animal honestly! It may look a bit weird when players use it; it looks a bit clunky and tall. But I don't think this would've been a bad item, especially since the Falcon and Eagle look almost identical.

Rating: ★★★★☆

2. Speedo Sands 

Whoa. This looks like a pretty small version of Crystal Sands, don't you think? The things that really caught my eye here are probably the rope climb in the left corner and the cool little rocky pathway leading up to the top waterslide. It definitely would've been cool if there was an extra room beyond that little cave opening ^-^ For me, this land is bit too simple, even though the certain aspects in the land are pretty cool.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

3. Greely Plushie 

Ooh! Now this is a plushie I'm a fan of. The detail and resemblance of Greely himself looks really clean! This wasn't technically a released item, but was seen in one of AJHQ's Epic Dens. 

Rating: ★★★★★

Oop! What's that? Oh right! A 5 star rating! That means that the Greely Plushie gets a...

Coming soon!

4. Giraffe Coin

Next up is the Giraffe Coin! Now we've all maybe seen a couple of coins scattered through people's trade lists here and there. I think over my 5 1/2 years of playing AJ I've seen a coin on someone's trade twice. Twice. These coins are very hard to come across, and the obtainers of them really up the worth, as there is no official worth stated. I LOVE giraffes, but I do not like how they made it a coin. I literally hate the coins. 

So, unfortunately my rating is going to have to be a

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ 

(Sorry giraffe, it's nothing personal)

5. Gem Tree 

Ah, the Gem Tree. Whether or not you've seen it in a post quite like this one, or just simply heard of it, the Gem Tree has caused quite a discussion. What would it look like in-game? What would happen if you place it in your den? I think this has the potential to be a cool item, especially maybe if it's used similarly to the eco items? Instead of credits, you get gems maybe? I don't know, but that would be a really cool item.

Question for the comments: What would you want to happen if you inherited a Gem Tree?

Rating: ★★★★☆

6. Pet Donut Hut

The final item I found today that I thought was pretty interesting was none other than... a Pet Donut Hut! Similar to the Pet Smoothie Hut, the Pet Donut was likely redeemed from an upcoming Jazwares Toy (according to Animal Jam Wiki). This makes 5 of the unofficial Pet Hut Collection, and honestly? I'm here for it! This is a cool item that I definitely think should be released. You already have a Donut Tray den item! Why not continue the trend?

Rating: ★★★★☆

And that will wrap up today's post! Let me know in the comments if you would like a part 2 to this! It was very fun to investigate the mysterious and unreleased items ovo 

Thanks for reading and happy jamming!
