Craftsmanship: 9.0 out of 10 - “Whoa!” detail - Stands easily - Mask makes her a whole different figure - Very good paint job and accessories - Decent articulation - Very good for display
Playability: 6.5 out of 10 - Maybe a little too revealing for little kids - Mask fits on other figures - Bunch o’ shrunken heads catches on things easily

Voodoo Queen (McFarlane's Monsters) by McFarlane Toys
It took us long time to track down Voodoo Queen. After a tip from a gator wrestler in New Orleans, we managed to find her in Hollywood seeking bit parts in movies. We caught up with her in-between acts at the No. 5 Orange theater.
What do you do here exactly? I’m all about free expression of one’s self through dancing, strutting and taking my clothes off.
You’re a stripper? Some people call it that, but I prefer to call my profession “self-realization through gradual nudity.”
Well… uh… can you show me some of this self-realization? You’ve gotta pay your cover charge like everyone else.
Are
you really a voodoo queen? Not really. My grandma believed in the stuff and I had the nickname in high school. Then, when I moved to Hollywood and was having trouble paying the rent, it gave me the idea for my self-realization gimmick.
Can you describe your costume for me? Well, I’ll start with my platform shoes. Got these in a second-hand store near Vegas. The decorative bones are made out of chicken carcass. The rest are gold rings. I applied the paint myself.
And
you’ve done a great job! Thanks, but you still have to pay the cover charge.

Have you had much success getting walk-on or speaking roles? No. And to say the least I’m disappointed. I mean, I’ve got it all. Balance, poise, some pretty good articulation. I auditioned for Toy Story 2 as Buzz Lightyear’s love interest… but I never got a callback.
By some reports, you’ve been romantically linked to Mummy. Any comment? Oh, he’s still going on about our last Monster get-together isn’t he? That dirty old man! He tried to “seduce” me. His brains weren’t the only thing that dried up and blew away with the sand.
Your mask, where did you get it? |

It’s great, isn’t it? It’s the perfect addition to my costume. I actually made it – took me a long time to get all the details right. Unfortunately, it fits pretty well on just about everyone else’s head, not just mine, so I’m always worried someone else will steal it. Same goes for my spear. I made a metal plug-in for it so it doesn’t snap when I try to put it in my hand.
The heads, are they anyone I might know? I doubt it. They’re made out of plastic.
Do
you always carry them around? I kind of have to – they’re attached. But with a bit of pulling they’ll yank out. Oops, I’m on. Gotta run, nice talking to you!
Wait, can I… Pay the cover!
