Pogo has added this year’s full Halloween release to the Mini Mall. There are several pages of items old and new to choose from so every mini should be able to find something he or she likes, no matter how discerning their tastes!

You can feel it in the air… Halloween is near! And the Mini Mall has just the All-Hallow’s Eve supplies you need!
You’ll find delicious and devilish costumes, frightful and funny backgrounds, and plenty of garish and goodly goodies!
And PETS! Make sure you visit the Pet Center to meet Joe, the Magic Mutt, and some of his other newfound friends! And don’t forget Joe, the Magic Mutt! He’s magic, irresistable, and he’s the Pet of the Month!

Pogo gave us a Tuesday Mini Mall release today in the form of a re-release of some of the hottest items from this year. Combine that with the stuff that has been on sale as part of their 10th anniversary sale, there are some nice deals to be had in the Mini Mall these days! (Thanks Colin!)
Also, I updated everyone about this on the BadgeHungry Twitter earlier today, but Pogo also prematurely released four of the new Halloween backgrounds as well!

Halloween is just around the corner (5 weeks or so left) and Pogo is busy working behind the scenes to prepare!
First of all, Spooky Slots is coming back again this year but we don’t know when, or if they’ll be adding more ranks and badges yet. (Check out the current 10 ranks and 1 badge for Spooky Slots.) We’re scouring our sources to find out, and we’ll let you know if we hear anything at all.
They’ve got the 2009 Halloween Limited Edition Badge ready to go — it’ll cost 28 gems and will be available sometime in October until November 1st.

Today Pogo has released some Back to School items in the Mini Mall.
Back to the teachers, back to the books! Back to your Mini’s ever-changing looks!!
Check out the Back to School Outfits, Backgrounds and Goodies! You won’t be disappointed! And make sure you meet Elijah, the Miniature Horse! He’s this month’s Pet of the Month, and he sure is sweet!
This week’s release includes a bunch of new backgrounds and a small assortment of other items all in the back to school theme. In addition to the pet of the month, there are also a couple free items to celebrate Pogo’s 10th anniversary: a token goodie, a background, and a t-shirt.

Be sure to take a look at today’s Mini Mall release — there’s just over a page of new underwater-themed items to choose from. There are some cool non-traditional outfits (take a look at Underwater Lady/Gentleman, Snorklin’ Gal/Dude, Mermaid/Merman and Tank Cleaning/Cleaner) as well as some really peaceful animated backgrounds.
In addition to these underwater Minis, Pogo has re-released a couple of the older guitar-playing Mini items to fix confusion over left/right-handedness.

Get your Mini ready for the silver screen with today’s Mini release! (It’s dated August 4…did we miss it or are they pre-dating on us?) There’s a page and a half of new movie set-related items, have at ‘em! Also, his month’s Pet of the Month is “Cora, the Survivor”, a baby seal.
If nothing else, check out the animated “On the Set of ‘The Long Horse Chase’” background for yourself using the Try feature at the Mini Mall. Pretty fantastic artwork and coding, we think! (Our static screenshot to the right does it NO JUSTICE WHATSOEVER.)
Katrisse wrote in this morning to let us know that in addition to today’s other release, Mini Awards were added for Penguin Blocks and Monopoly Slots. In addition, the missing World Class Solitaire and KenoPop! Mini Awards have been re-added to the site as well!

For more information on all of the in-game awards available, check out our Mini Awards page.
Today Pogo released a set of Mini items that are based on magic and fantasy. There are also a couple of older re-releases, such as two backgrounds Forest of the Blissful Blue Fairy and Fantastic Fairyland.
