Marvel Legends Brother Voodoo Evaluation |

It’s Physician Voodoo. He didn’t go to 4 years of magical medical college to be known as Brother, thanks very a lot. I’m so well timed with this assessment, this determine is already discounted on Amazon! Let’s do that!

I just like the paintings on this field fairly a bit, however it does make me want there have been a few cool equipment like a magic hand, extra elaborate jewellery, or magic guide for this model of Brother Voodoo.

Brother Voodoo comes along with his workers, two units of arms (two grip , proper open and left fist) two blast results, and Blackheart’s leg.

The Blackheart leg has sharp sculpting, so sharp that it damage placing him collectively. Having him principally collectively does make me want they made him a bit greater. I feel it’s my Capcom online game coaching, however in my thoughts’s eye Blackheart is sort of a bit greater.

The workers of Legba seems to be reuse from the E-book of Vishanti Physician Voodoo and it’s properly detailed, however I don’t love how the shrunken heads look extra like demon skulls with pointy ears. I’m certain there may be current artwork that impressed this, however more often than not I’ve seen them depicted as extra human. It is likely to be enjoyable to sculpt some human heads and connect them to the workers with some poseable wire. It’s forged in translucent purple so it has a glowing impact and the 2 blast results wrap across the workers properly to provide the impression that the magic is coming from his arms and transferring to the workers.

The determine itself seems to be to be primarily based on the newer Vulcan physique with a brand new belt and cape and the previous head from the E-book of Vishanti model. The newer, bulkier physique has a extra imposing presence than the unique. The cape has a pleasant dangle to it and plugs into the again. I seen that it could typically twist askew as I used to be transferring this determine round. The bracelets I don’t acknowledge, however they’re slightly unfastened, so will fall off when swapping arms for those who aren’t cautious. I ended up dropping one on the best way from my storage capturing space to inside the home and now I can’t discover it!

The inexperienced portion of his belt is clearly new with extra wrapping and circulate to it and the string to the skulls is now beaded. The skulls look the identical, however are a bit extra sharply detailed right here than the unique.

You possibly can swap the cape and bracers from the older Physician Voodoo determine from the Dormammu BAF wave onto this one for those who like, although the heads don’t swap as properly. The brand new one is slightly tight and low on the previous physique and the previous head sits slightly excessive and unfastened on the brand new one.

The perfect a part of the paint is the portrait. It seems to be like the identical sculpt as the unique to me, however the brand new paint offers it a wholly totally different high quality. The cranium face paint actually appears like actual face paint in that it fades out and the Dr. Unusual meets skeleton Halloween costume symbols on the physique are bulkier and extra substantial which I feel improves the whole look. One factor I do miss is that the cape is usually drawn with the diamond motif from Brother Voodoo’s unique costume on the trim and it could have been good to get that painted on this cape.

Articulation is typical legends type and all strikes properly besides lifting the left arm is slightly restricted by the cape.

Total, Physician Voodoo is an unlimited enchancment on earlier releases despite the fact that he re-uses lots from the unique determine. Admittedly, Physician Voodoo was very low on my record of current Legends figures I’d prefer to see re-done and in the event that they had been doing one other Jericho Drumm, I’d have most well-liked the basic Brother Voodoo look. I’d have appreciated extra jewellery round his neck and extra fascinating bracelets, however since I misplaced one of many bracelets, I’d simply should customise some. Within the pictures under you may pinpoint the place I misplaced a bracelet as a result of it switches to the unique determine’s gauntlets.
