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. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Cosplay Feature: Leanna Vamp's Lara Croft!


For today I have the last cosplayer I was recommended to check out during NYCC! Her name is LeeAnna Vamp and man is she definitely the mischievous type. One genre she admires is horror so she markets herself as "The Ghoul of Your Dreams" on her Facebook page but she's not limited by that as her only outlet of cosplay! She's done various gender-bends such as Han Solo, Boba Fett alongside of course female versions of Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street and Ash from Army of Darkness. Today however, I've got LeeAnna as the iconic video game heroine Lara Croft from Tomb Raider! The outfit chosen is I believe from the Tomb Raider movies and Tomb Raider: Underworld (unless that was a movie title in which case I apologize). The outfit is similar to Monika Lee's version yet LeeAnna really shows off her facial expressions here.

The outfit consists of a dark brown tank top and booty shorts. Various straps are shown across the outfit for Lara's necessary equipment including holsters on her legs for the 2 guns you see above! Leather gloves are also present which adds in the badass look that LeeAnna is trying to capture here. Can't forget about the black combat boots too! Yup she definitely looks like someone I would not want to mess with! There's also a backpack shown which is a staple element for Lara. I really like the photo quality of the shots as they give off that Hollywood vibe! Plus she has the perfect hair for Lara! I feel bad that I wasn't able to make time to introduce myself to LeeAnna at NYCC, she was over at the Artist Alley. She's definitely the kind of person who seems to be incredibly sweet! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures below and I plan to feature more of her work! Interview perhaps? We'll have to see :)
