Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms.

Cosplay Feature: Yaya Han's Chun-Li

It make me very happy to dedicate this weeks Cosplay Feature to the incredible and supportive Yaya Han! Yaya has been cosplaying for nearly a decade and is one of the very few who is able to have cosplay as an actual business. Specifically she handles little accessories such as Pegasus wings and pony/cat ears. She is also a huge advocate for bringing positivity in the cosplay community. This is done by not only making many convention trips to see her fans but she also hosts cosplay panels which discuss the basics of getting into cosplay and the Sociology behind it! Having the pleasure of meeting her at this past Boston Comic Con was a highlight for me as she was incredibly nice and loved my own cosplay despite the malfunctions it had.

Now for her outfit, it was tough choosing which one due to her wide variety of outfits and the fact that I have multiple favorites of hers. After looking through her many albums, I decided that her Chun-Li was amazing that I had to write about it. This Chun-Li if you've noticed isn't based off the regular video game design. The style here is Art Noveau and the outfit was designed by Razvan-Sedekiah. Everything about this outfit I love, from the ruffled like fabric on her shoulders to the intricate embroidery on her corset piece. The wrist cuffs are awesome and the boots are well-crafted. Although I expect nothing less considering the amount of talent Yaya has gathered from years of practice. Below are some more photos of this amazing cosplay and I definitely am looking forward to seeing her again this year!
