It seemed appropriate to have a thread for Boosters' products. What you own, what you want, and what you would buy if they made it.

I just have action figures. I own the Blue and Gold minimates, the 52 Booster Gold and Supernova figures, Blue and Gold from DCD JLI series, and the modern Booster Gold from the Mattel series.

I've been meaning to get the t-shirts but keep putting it off.

I keep hoping either DC Direct or Mattel would make a Rip Hunter figure. I wouldn't mind a Goldstar, Maxwell Lord, Ice, Fire or Black Beetle either. Maybe Flashpoint will get a series and make a Rip figure?

What I really want is a simple gold tee shirt with a BG blue star on the chest (preferably with a weathered appearence). I have a supes one, it looks good. I have seen bats, GL, Flash, and WW.

My son's first superhero toy was the Matel BG (modern). We have worn that one out and he got another one for Xmas (made him very happy - he is 5). We have an odd collection of assorted Mattel line heroes and Blue Beetle III is a constant favorite (although the new Hal Jordan GL from Xmas gets the lionshare of play time right now). When we play, he assigns me Booster.

Harry, I bought a gold t-shirt with a blue star on it several years ago (2005?) from ebay. That was before the "worn" silkscreen became all the rage. If you look around, you might be able to find it. Don't wait for it from Graphitti: they used to produce a white star on blue Captain America t-shirt, but Marvel changed it to feature the red-and-white striped shield background for marketing purposes. For the same reason, I think it's very unlikely that DC will ever produce a shirt with just a star on it.

I own:

-The 52 Booster Gold
-52 Supernova, with custom made Maxamillion to turn him from Booster into Jonar Carter
-Custom Made Green Lantern Booster Gold (using 52 model) with Custom Skeets as Power Battery
-Mattel Booster
-Both the first and second runs of Booster Gold's series
-Two Legion flight rings (the first lost it gold plating, so I bought a second to display with my Lantern Rings and Flash Ring)
-The Booster Gold Fan Club T-Shirt
-The Official Booster Gold Logo Shirt (The gold triangle with the blue star logo)
-A custom 'faded logo' shirt I did: A yellow shirt with a faded blue star

Pretty sure that is it. At some point I want to try my hand at making a plush Skeets.

Thanks for the tip. I was unable to locate a similar shirt on my first search attempt. You make a good point, a simple star on a gold shirt isn't very distinctive for product identification. Maybe I could hope for the circuitry star logo from the v2 comic title?

Perhaps I should try to go custom like Mr. Chaos? I would like to see a picture of that as well, if it is no trouble?

It's real easy to do any real custom shirt you want...just need a really good printer and to by Iron-On-Printer Paper

I want DC to get a deal with Crest or Colgate or one of the other toothpaste companies, and get me a Booster Gold sponsored toothpaste, even make the toothpaste itself blue and gold (I know they can do that, look at Aquafresh) and have the tagline "nothing Glistens like Gold!" of course it would be a whitening toothpaste. that would be awesome
