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: Poseidon Cosplay's Aquaman!

I can always appreciate a fantastic Aquaman cosplay and oh man does Poseidon Cosplay fit the bill on that part. Recommended by my wonderful friend Jawjarrose, here we have the recent movie version of Aquaman. Parts of Poseidon actually resemble actor Jason Momoa so that makes the outfit as whole work so much! Full armored up, Poseidon is full of color with a brilliant mash up of green, gold and blue. There's also various textures for each part of armor which is just insane. My guess is worbla and foam played some part in its creation. The shoulder pieces are layered with smaller pieces to create the full part. The paint job overall is just absolutely phenomenal and I commend Poseidon for doing a wonderful job bringing Arthur Curry to life.

If that's Poseidon's real hair then oh man, talk about easy additions! The arm sleeves are one of my favorite parts, mainly due to the deep blue shade it's in. It's all about patterns when you get up close shots of him and the armor. I can only imagine how tedious making this was at certain parts. The trident prop is at the right size for someone like Poseidon and his height. It also stands out in some of the photos, particularly the ones of him with the waves coming in.

The leg armor looks massive as well. Layered up pieces probably by velcro. Either Poseidon had to put on each piece individually or managed to do so as one full piece. The picture to the left seems to show the trident before its inevitable paint job into gold. The ocean side photos are freaking amazing and gosh I just love this cosplay so much. Check out Poseidon rocking it in these other photos :D.
