Last Chance to Buy

Toy Fair 2012 was last weekend, and as it turns out, there was some Booster Gold related news. Toy News International reports that the final Justice League Unlimited toys ever will be released at Mattel's MattyCollector.com later this year. Included in the final releases will be a 3-pack of Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, and Fire.

This is hardly the first (or even the second) Booster Gold JLU figure, but it seems that it will be the last. If you want your Blue and Gold (and Green Flame!) collection to be complete, keep an eye out for this assortment online this fall.

White Lantern Booster Gold

Remember that time that Booster Gold was declared legally dead? No? Justice League Task Force #13? That's okay, saber4735 does, and he has made a custom White Lantern Booster Gold to prove it.

If Blackest Night is included in the DCnU continuity but Ted Kord isn't, does that mean that Booster Gold has never encountered White or Black Lanterns? And if Booster was a White Lantern, doesn't that mean that he could resurrect Ted Kord? And since Skeets is a robot, how could he be a White Lantern?

Whatever the case, there are more pictures of the figure at figurerealm.com.

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?

I..uh feel kind of ashamed to admit that I don't own a single one. These kind of things are usually not even sold here (except maybe Batman & co in toy stores).

I love those eaglemoss poison statues. I have at least 30 of them with Blue and Gold front and center. Though dealing with the company was a nightmare I don't recommend. My other Booster related figure is from the Justice League International line.<br /><br />I'm just really hoping DC eventually releases some kind of statue/bust/maquette of Booster. It's long overdue.

So, you finally got yourself a copy of the Eaglemoss statuette, heh? Good for ya!^^

I lucked out and found one at my local grocery store in the discount toy section earlier this year. For some reason they were stocked up on DCU action figures. Got the 6-pack with booster, maxwell lord, superman, wonder woman, and 2 omacs (why no blue beetle?) for under $5 bucks. Last I checked on amazon it was selling for like $20. In hindsight I wish I would have grabbed more figures since they were so cheap but most of them were justice league unlimited. I do wish I grabbed the Doomsday one with most of the JLI.

I'm bad. I have every Booster gold and blue beetle action figure released thus far. As well as variants and of course super nova. Go team blue and gold

Doh! I accidently hit the vote button without actually placing a vote this morning when I called up the site. If you see a "blank" vote, it is likely mine. Sorry to mess up the poll results. :(

Maximillion, I thought I had built the script to ignore blank votes. Did it lock you out from voting again? I'll double check to make sure that this sort of thing won't be a problem for you (or anyone else) again.

Maximillion posted on Nov. 7, 2011 at 5:02 PM
Boosterrific, no actually now that I've visited the page later on, I can still vote. I was locked out earlier, but I didn't think to re-load the page. Thanks!

Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Nov. 7, 2011 at 6:02 PM
Still lazy coding on my part. I've adjusted the script. Now if you submit without voting, it won't lock you out until page refresh. Sorry for that inconvenience.

Maximillion posted on Nov. 8, 2011 at 7:15 AM
Hey, it's no problem. I was just worried that I somehow managed to botch this week's poll results. I'm relieved that I didn't!

Maximillion posted on Nov. 9, 2011 at 8:06 AM
Boosterrific, I just noticed that I am able to send another vote, despite the fact that I already voted (though I didn't do it!). Just letting you know in case it's something you want to correct.

Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Nov. 9, 2011 at 5:06 PM
Don't tell anyone, Max, but the poll memory is cookie based. Therefore, if you wanted to vote multiple times, you could by clearing your browser cookie cache or simply denying cookies in your browser. The site isn't capturing any data about you other than your vote. If I really wanted the system to lock you out, I'd have to start tracking all voters multiple ways in the database, and nobody wants that. (Besides the fact that it is invasive and resource intensive, determined voters could still get around it.) So re-voting is really on the honor system. I figure that no one out there would want to stuff the ballot box on a poll about Booster Gold, right?

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.
