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: Crystal Graziano's Sniper Wolf!

It's actually been a really long time since I last featured Crystal Graziano in any form on here for you guys. In fact, the only time I did was way back when I did the first Showcase post on several Poison Ivy cosplays! I managed to meet Crystal after following her work for so long at NYCC this year and she was so sweet and beautiful! Her Sniper Wolf cosplay from Metal Gear Solid really caught my eye with both her deadly looks in this case as well as how the suit was made. I loved being able to see this cosplay in person. Crystal noted however that she forgot to apply the green lipstick which you'll see in the pictures below. Nevertheless, I love this cosplay and seeing that Crystal is both a fan of the franchise of MGS and familiar with cosplaying from it before (she did Meryl!), she wears Sniper Wolf so well.

The outfit itself is comprised of a forest green jumpsuit with various straps of padding on her knees and elbows. On the jumpsuit near her shoulders is a patch of the infamous Foxhound logo. The suit is opened up slightly as Sniper Wolf does in the game. Black gloves and combat boots are also seen as part of the outfits. Crystal's legs show black leather like coverings with the green still visible. I imagine the suit was tricky to construct and sew together!

As I mentioned above, Crystal has green eyeliner make up in addition to green lipstick. I also believe that she's using her natural blonde hair which is absolutely beautiful in the pictures. Of course it wouldn't be Sniper Wolf without her signature weapon of choice. The PSG1 rifle is seen (replica/not real I assume) in some of the shots and Crystal nails the posing. Readying her form and aiming down the sights to kill Solid Snake and whoever else stands in Foxhound's way. I truly do love this cosplay, Crystal did such an amazing job and I hope you guys enjoy the other pictures!
