Yes, but it would be very expensive to make. I could make one for you for $150. If you want to make it yourself -- and there's no reason you couldn't, it's just switching parts and painting. Torso from Falcon. $15 Arms and shoulders from Black Panther. $10 Head from DC Direct John Stewart, the one in the JLA set. $40 Legs from Wonder Man. $10 Feet from Face-Off Sabretooth.$30 Cloak from Dr Strange. $10 Necklace from X-Men Ultimate Sabretooth. $12 Sash from Warbird. $20 Then paint it. $147 More or less. Those figures, if you don't already have them, are mostly not available except online. That means you add a shipping charge. An alternative to John Stewart is Falcon, you'd have to sand off the mask and paint on the eyebrows. The John Stewart head is a much better likeness. Don't get the other John Stewart, that head doesn't work at all. Brother Voodoo is listed at 6' and 220 lbs, so he's going to have a slightly heavier build than Black Panther (who used to be listed as 175 lbs)and be a bit shorter than Falcon. That's why you use Wonder Man's legs. They are shorter and sturdier that Falcon's. I don't know if Sabretooth's feet will fit on Wonder Man's legs. You want those feet because they are bare and have that fringe at the ankle. If that doesn't work, use ML zombie's feet. You can find a suitable fringe from somewhere else and glue it on. This is the image I'm talking about. http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/b/brothervoodoo.htm --Previous Message-- : : --Previous Message-- : Different joints? Oh . . . darn.
