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...

Product Review: Chocobo Kigurumi by Rarity's Boutique!



You can check out the last Review I did on Rarity's Hoodie here!

See at first, I was planning on grabbing another Eeveelution Hoodie from my friend Lisa Lou Who over from her shop Rarity's Boutique. Then Final Fantasy XV started to roll around and she quickly jumped in on the hype train once the game was released. Prior to that, was when she rolled out new Kigurumi's in the form of FF staples like Moogles, Cactuars and of course the Chocobo. Out of these options, the last one intrigued me the most since that also was done in various colors. I can't tell you how excited I was when I finally placed an order for one. My initial order was a full size kigu in a light blue color. Lisa's Kigurumi's come in 2 distinct sizes. There's the full one I mentioned which pretty much covers everything, then what's known as the "bloomer" style. That version you can see at the top image, basically the kigu ends just about near the kneecaps.

It arrived last Wednesday in typical Rarity fashion. That means wrapped up like a present with a cute flimsy bow to top it all off. Unfolding it was when I started laughing pretty hard, the full size version was ordered but I CLEARLY underestimated that description. I can easily slip into the kigu with 1-2 buttons undone. By the way, brown was the second color used for the cuffs down at the feet and buttons. You'll also notice that the color isn't light blue. Lisa had messaged me close to the ship date with another option to go darker since she had the color in her inventory.

Naturally, I went that route since I enjoy dark blue more than the light blue advertised on her site. I also wasn't expecting the hood part to have extra fabric packed inside which made it feel like a pillow was resting on top of my head. I imagine if it wasn't there, the hood would cover my eyes XD. The top of the hood is decorated with wide blue eyes and the Chocobo's distinct orange beak. The arms at the ends have an opening to encase your hands like a mitten. This gives off the look that you have feathers for hands. The size also has the fabric have extra area to it pretty much everywhere. With Fall arriving and the weather getting colder, I couldn't have received it at a perfect time <3. If you're looking to order one yourself I would recommend it wholeheartedly!

Below is a link to Rarity's Facebook Page. You can find her store link there but at the moment she's currently not taking any commissions! Thank you so much Lisa for doing a stellar job as always on my kigurumi! Love you bunches :D
