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: Randomonia Cosplay's Genderbend Axel!

Photo by Brian Ngai Photography
At NYCC last year, I happened to run into this super awesome cosplayer who did a genderbend of Axel from Kingdom Hearts! As such I proceeded to geek out as did she since I was wearing my Riku cosplay at that time. Months later we finally started chatting and holy crap she's now one of my best friends EVER! Meet Sami, and her incredibly badass Axel! The concept Sami went with was to make a giant black ballgown of sorts. The upper portion involves a corset like piece with silver rows crossing over her sides. There's also the hair which it looks like her own just dyed that deep hue of red which Axel has. Obviously though one of the main pieces to this cosplay are the signature chakrams that's a staple to the character.

These weapons were made with a flake board and created with help from one of Sami's friends. The precision is simply amazing and I love how picture perfect they came out. Like directly from the game. Sami is seen making the right poses as well for Axel. These include holding up the chakrams up near her neck like in the top pic. Also having them droop down with a relaxed pose (how Axel moves/fights in the game!). Long black gloves were also added. Plus there's some makeup on which was used to recreate Axel's markings on his face.

Overall I'm in love with this cosplay and how it introduced me to another lifelong friend :D. Definitely would love to one day do a proper shoot with her and my Riku, I NEED KH SHOOTS YOU GUYS :O. Enjoy the other pictures I got for you all!







Please go check out Sami's work over on her cosplay page! She has lots of outfits planned along with working on cosplays from Homestuck! Sami's got so much talent and I can't WAIT to see her at NYCC this year <3.
