So Long, and Thanks for All the Figures
They say that you can have too much of a good thing, so it's good to know that most of our voters exercise some restraint with their collecting. Hopefully you are saving your money for the big-ticket Booster Gold collectibles, such as a life-sized Skeets replica -- should they ever come out.
Last week's poll question: How many Booster Gold figures do you own? (43 votes)
Speaking of too much of a good thing, once upon a time comic book stories were told succinctly in a issue or less. Now stories typically plod slowly over a half dozen issues so that they can be collected into trades. How do you feel about this storytelling decompression?

An Army of Booster Golds
Jim Lee will find no love here at Boosterrific.com. Pay attention, Jim: you can never go wrong with the classics.
Last week's poll question: Which version of Booster Gold's power suit makes the best Halloween costume? (43 votes)
When I recently acquired the Eaglemoss Booster Gold statuette it made me realize that I now have quite a collection of 3D Booster Gold figures on my bookshelf. It wasn't all that long ago that if you wanted a Booster Gold figure, you needed to be pretty skilled with clay. What a difference a half-decade makes! Now you can have the Eaglemoss statue, several Heroclix mini-figures, DC Minimates, and more than a half-dozen traditional action figures of several different scales. Wow! Other than me, who's buying all these things?

We're Superheroes!
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.

Big Screen Booster Gold
Adding to the total number of movies including Booster Gold (total: 2), over the weekend I pleasantly discovered that Booster Gold is briefly seen in the 2010 movie Cop Out thanks to his JLI teammate Black Carnary.
Early in the movie during the investigation of a crime scene within a hobby shop, Adam Brody shows the camera a Justice League International Series 1 Black Canary figure. Prominent on the packaging is the Justice League International line-up, including Booster Gold.
Booster Gold: conquering Hollywood one movie at a time.

Say Cheese
Last week at ComicsAlliance.com, Andy Khouri posted Kevin Maguire's turnarounds (front, side, and rear view drawings used for visual reference by a sculptor) for the 2009 DC Direct Justice League International action figures. Of course these things look great.
Comics Alliance may have just posted an article about it, and I may have just re-posted it, but there isn't really anything new here. These drawings were made for a set of action figures released 2 years ago. Comics Alliance even notes that they re-posted these images from the (apparently now-defunct) Poytress of Solitude website, where they had been originally posted in 2008.
But there is no shelf life on great art, and if you haven't seen these drawings before, they're new to you! Thanks to loyal Boosterphile Morgenstern for calling these images to my attention.
