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...

STRUCK FIRST: Byndo Gehk as a Vault Dweller!


Struck First gives you a first look at a cosplay just as it's been debuted/had its first photoshoot. Cosplayers have been kind enough to let me have a first crack at analyzing the cosplay by providing me with brand new pictures.

I can always count on Byndo Gehk to no doubt put a smile on my face. She just has this demeanor/aura that oozes happiness constantly. Even if some photos show her in ferocious poses, along with pretty much looking gorgeous in any cosplay she creates. Enter the Dogmeat/Vault Dweller uniform from Fallout 4 and you've got a solid match. This cosplay upon first glance I noticed the cel-shading details that cover the suit in its entirety. The blue and gold color scheme work INCREDIBLY well with Byndo's natural look. Yep that's her real hair in all its glory <3. Truthfully there's not much else going on with the cosplay. The gold is seen traveling up her center area up to her collarbone at the top. The bottom part goes to her waist mimicking a belt buckle of sorts.

Some photos make the belt area look as if it's popping out of the suit in a neat 3D effect. It's all blue with the rest of the cosplay. Prop wise, Byndo is armed with a simple pistol that was done by her marvelous friend Bindi Smalls! None of the shots give a good close up shot of the gun but it appears to have a black color with either gold or wood like brown in certain spots. On her other arm is the giant Pip-Boy which houses all the information a Vault Dweller needs when traversing the post-apocalyptic country.

The pip boy is either the one found in the Fallout 4 Collector's Edition or purchased elsewhere. It works superbly well in the shots you'll see in the rest of the writeup. Besides being totally in love with Byndo's hair in this cosplay that's the Vault Dweller in a nutshell! I do hope you guys enjoyed this writeup, check out the other pictures!
