Merging a figure and a prop

I've got a conforming prop I'd like to set to collide with both a figure and a prop. As far as I can tell, that's impossible, so I thought I'd duplicate the figure and merge it to the prop, in essence making the figure + prop a new prop. Is that possible? If so, how would one go about that?

Possible, yes, but not necessarily easy. Is this for a still image or an animation? For a still you could export the figure and prop in their final pose, import as OBJ, and use that as your collision target.
