Booster Gold Smallville Promo Video

This is a huge week for The Blot, because it marks the world television debut of the Smallville episode “Booster” featuring my all time favorite DC Comics superhero, Booster Gold! With only five Smallville episodes left, The Blot’s still in shock that an entire episode would be dedicated to introducing Booster (and of course the Blue Beetle) to the world of live action TV, but I couldn’t be happier. The costume looks great and from what I’ve seen, I think Geoff Johns did a great job adapting this C-list hero for television. But don’t take my word for it, check out the official preview for this week’s episode for your official first look at Booster Gold in action!

While The Blot’s not fan of Smallville, I can’t get over watching a real live version of Booster Gold. If the episode is anywhere near as good as the promo video clip above, I might have to go back and watch the show's first 9 seasons! Watch for other Booster related posts all this week on The Blot Says... as a lead-up to the character’s big Smallville debut.

The Smallville episode “Booster” premieres this Friday, April 22nd, at 8/7c on The CW.

African Minigod 20” Dunny by Marka27

The Blot’s going to try to keep this post short, because anything I could write would do this amazing custom by Marka27 an injustice. This 20” Dunny is just plain incredible! Marka created the custom above for his signing at Kidrobot NY this Thursday to promote the release of his first 8” Dunny, the Shadow Serpent. The 20" African Minigod Dunny was inspired by African warriors and African face masks, and can be seen at Marka’s signing on Thursday, April 20th, from 6-8pm at Kidrobot NY.

For those custom aficionados, this 20" custom feature features 4 full range Sony speakers, hand sculpted details, pyramid studs, leather bands with brass spikes, a skull necklace and feathers. It was created with acrylics and spray paint, with a clear varnish finish.

Mini Elemental Slug Resin Figures by Redline Toy Company

The Blot recently discovered Redline Toy Company on Twitter and was shocked to learn this fledgling resin toy studio was also based in Houston, Texas! The Blot’s always excited about meeting new artists, especially when they live in my own backyard. RTC’s first release is the Mini Elemental Slug resin figure by Travers Cooke. There are 5 hand painted Slug colorways in all, with each color based on one of the five elements of nature: Earth, Fire, Water, Wood & Metal.

According to Travers, “the Slugs are hidden inhabitants. They corrode and decompose all that they touch. When they consume something their bodies create a chemical reaction that removes all of their respective element from said object. They consume everything and their only nemesis is Zako of Creation,” who also happens to be RTC’s next scheduled release.

The Mini Elemental Slugs by Travers Cooke go on sale this Wednesday, April 20th, at 1:00pm CDT at the Redline Toy Company online store. RTC has produced 8 Slugs in each colorway, for a limited edition run size of 40 figures in total. Each slug will retail for $7, or you can pick up the entire five Slug set for $25.
