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: Riddle's Dr. Strange

When Dr. Strange hit theaters to critical acclaim, you can be sure his cosplay popularity shot through the roof. Male or female, cosplayers flocked to the Sorcerer Supreme. Riki took the latter route and genderbended Strange to a fantastic result. You have basically the movie outfit altered mainly with the introduction of the corset around her waist. Other than that, the blue cloak would pretty much take the physical form of whoever wears it. The main piece is of a deep navy blue shade, at first glance the material looks to be almost rough but I feel that's not the case. Multiple bandage straps are wrapped around both of Riki's arms too!

As I mentioned above, the waist strap/corset area is what makes this a much more feminine Stephen Strange. Here, the corset is mainly a dark brown with other straps in an intricate pattern. Small orange and blue pieces can be seen here. The iconic cape around her back is bright red with an interesting interior. The wig was an alteration to one she already owned. The boots are super tall and have added blue straps around them.

I should also note that the cosplay as a whole was sponsored/provided by manufacturer Cosplay Sky. It clicked for me since I saw my cosplay sis Megawatt Cosplay in the exact same outfit. Based on how it looks in general I can definitely see that it's the same product! The photos taken highlight Riki in the cosplay so well, movie like quality even! The infamous Eye of Agamoto is seen resting around her neck! Riki makes for a wonderful Dr. Strange and I hope you all enjoy the photos I picked out :D
