Back in July, I discovered a Booster Gold customized vinyl figure called a Mighty Mugg. Turns out that a Mighty Mugg is only one type of customizable vinyl figure. Apparently, there are similar figures called Dunnys. They are like Mighty Muggs, but with ears.

The above 3" Blue and Gold figures above were customized by an artist named Nikejerk. There's much more information about the pair of figures in Nikejerk's Flickr.com account. It is beginning to look like wherever there are customizable vinyl figures, someone is making a Booster Gold figure. That's a thought guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Blue and Gold may be lost to the DCnU, but their adventures continue in Eyz's latest Heroes! / Supperbuddies! strip.

There's something mighty wrong with the DCnU if it means that Manhunter no longer likes cookies. Clicking on the image above will take you to a much larger (and easier to read) version at heroes-comix.blogspot.com.

Sure, Booster Gold makes a punchline foil for youtube animations, but how about Booster Gold as a vehicle for teaching Christianity? That's what author and evangelist Charles B. French does in his recent blog post about "The Greatest Story Never Told":

What Booster doesn't get is that his job is just as important as Superman's. In fact, it's more important, because the reason Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are putting their lives on the line is to protect the innocent. If Booster doesn't make sure that the people escape before the bad guy obliterates the city, then the heroes are fighting in vain. He's got the most important job.

This is how God thinks.

Booster Gold. Is there anything he's not good for?

That's just a small snippet of French's Christian-perpective review of the Justice League Unlimited episode. No matter what your religion, you have to admit, that's a great television episode. The whole review is posted on his website at charlesbfrench.com.

This weekend, regular Boosterrific Forum participant Morgenstern called our attention to the YouTube videos of propjosh. Apparently, propjosh is a big Blue Beetle and Booster Gold fan, as evidenced by his many, many parody videos using DC Universe figures.

That's just the tip of the iceberg! For more than a dozen additional Blue & Gold videos, plus plenty more stuff, visit Propjosh's Parodies at Youtube.com.

There was far more diversity than I would have expected in the previous week's answers. I wonder how that breaks down further by age and location. Maybe that's fodder for future polls.

Last week's poll question: When other people find out that you read super-hero comic books, what is their most common response? (40 votes)

As you probably know from the media blitz, Batman: Arkham City was released this week to much, much fanfare. I haven't played it yet, but I already know it has one big flaw: no Booster Gold. Get on that, DC.
