Description "This hairy orange idiot is Booska, Ultraman's fiercest foe. Even though this orange beast looks awful, Japanese kids love 'im and he pops-up on posters all over Tokyo advertising just about anything. He can stay in the Far East as far as we're concerned."

~ Nintendo Magazine, January 1998


As I was cleaning out my case for my holiday I stumbled across an old issue of Nintendo Magazine which happened to be the E3 special and included not only games info but trivia about what's popular in Japan. Beaten only by a Cuddly Poo, the ugly plastic Booska figure took second place in the popular toys category.
I always hated him and after being reminded of the monster after all these years he has secured a place in my heart.

I have since found out that Booska was nothing to do with Ultraman, but had a programme of his own made by the same people. If you're lucky enough to find his theme song video it'll be stuck in your head for hours.

Anyhow I searched DeviantArt and couldn't find a single image of the loveable rogue Booska so that clearly needs to be rectified. AND YOU CAN HELP TOO!

I urge you all to do your own picture of Booska and make his presence known. You don't need to link to this image or even mention me - I'm not doing this for recognition, simply to introduce the world to Booska's terrifying visage but please do let me know if you do do a Booska picture, because I will always be interested.

~questionthemajority is already on board after our in-person collusion the other week and we even have a couple of Booska related trades in the works.

PS: Bonus points awarded for using the word Booska as many times as possible.
