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.

Cosplay Roundup: Finishing up Steampunk Nightwing and Greninja!

Meep Meep leather hat :D

For Greninja I managed to find pads for my elbows and knees at a sports store that came close to what I actually wanted. After having a fun conversation with one of the employees who was helping me out I definitely felt accomplished! I also went and bought blue fabric to cut out more ninja star shapes which will be probably taped onto the pants I'm wearing. Honestly I don't know what to do for his shoes so I may just either wear regular shoes or if anything, something that's blue.

White Pads!
