(More customer reviews)If you are looking at this page, then you know who Booster is, so there is no need for me to go over his history, lets just skip to the review.
Booster comes in the standard DC Universe Box in a wonderful flight pose.
Booster has had one other figure recently, the DC direct figure. I will be using this as a comparison.
While the Direct version has Booster with a 80s yellow coloring (very bright), this figure has a more modern gold paint up, perhaps slightly too dark for some but I believe works perfectly. The blue is metalic on both figures. The goggles are perfectly done, as they do not make the figure's eyes appear strange as they have on some figures in this line. While the Direct figure has washed out blonde hair, like a surfer, this figure has the updated darker blond from the recent comic series.
Booster stands just as tall as a normal DC Direct figure, slightly taller than some of the Universe figures (which makes sense, as Booster is 6 foot 5 in the comics).
The paint...we all know there have been problems. The metalic blue is the base paint, and I foung three cases of minor paint problems: the blue peaking through on the arm, a slight smudge on his right check, and a slight smudge on his left arm. Not enough, however to draw attention to themselves.
Booster has amazing articulation. Neck, shoulders, foearm, elbow, wrist, waist, torso, hips, knees, calves and ankles all rotate. Booster can do the splits, people.
Booster's accessory is Skeets. Let me warn you now, Skeets isn't like the Direct version, which was free standing. He is connected to Booster by a yellow energy trail (similar to would one would see in the comics). A bit annoying that it can't be plugged in and out, but not enough to make you turn away from the figure.
There are two versions of Booster, the modern and the classic , or collared, version. The Modern Skeets has a fun surprise: open his face plate to reveal Mr. mind. However, this does lead to the door not shutting completely tight. Again, however, not the biggest deal in the world, especially if you keep the door open.
In the end, this figure is wonderful. i have him standing next to my classic Booster figure, and it really shows the evolution from the 80s to now for the character.
