Poptropica Toys Now Available Exclusively at Toys“R”Us and Toysrus.com
Toy Story and Poptropica’s History. Oddly enough, there have been lots of Toy Story ads on Poptropica, but not much documentation. Apparently, in 2010 there was a Toy Story/Toy Story 2 DVD ad, but I can only find this Answers.com question and this YouTube video as evidence (thanks to the person who recorded this, who is 9 years older now, which is weird to think about).
