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 Showcase: Princess Natalie's Thor!

At this year's NYCC, I had the amazing pleasure of running into and meeting Princess Natalie who's dressed up here as Lady Thor! I really took an eye towards the armor details and was completely enamored by the cosplay as a whole! For those out of the loop, there was a time period where the mantle of Thor was given to Jane Foster and what transpired is the outfit you see up above! There are several elements which of course reference the original Thor from the classic color scheme to the armor pieces themselves. So what exactly makes up this cosplay? First off is the iconic helmet done in a silver shade alongside the breastplate. The helmet has large wings on either side of the helm, plus the center point has what looks like a heart design etched in. Flowing out is long blonde hair which looks to be a wig. I don't know for sure if both are separate or if the hair is attached to the helm somehow!

Natalie's cape for Thor is super long and pretty much travels down towards her feet. It's not at a point where the cape is being dragged on the floor so that certainly makes it easy for traversal. Here, the cape is held on by two circles attached to the chest-piece. Speaking of, the chest area has even more patterns added in plus a gold and black symbol added in towards the bottom. After that looks to be a black shirt underneath for comfort on Natalies skin.

Then you have a brown belt with several silver circles in the dead center. For pants, Natalie has tan drapes covering both legs as they definitely hit the floor. A darker brown cloth is seen in the middle. The boots are really interesting as they too are in silver and look like they were modified in certain ways. I can see that there's a small armor section right above the boots themselves! Oh and to quickly add, one arm has a bracer whereas the other is pretty bare!

It truly wouldn't be a Thor cosplay without the iconic Mjolnir and Natalie absolutely made sure to keep that in! The hammer looks to be of a pretty normal size and I imagine it was made with materials light enough for Natalie to carry around constantly. It certainly adds in so much for poses like the shot right above here! Various belt straps can be seen alongside the pants as well! I absolutely enjoyed seeing this cosplay in person and would love to try and get Natalie on my podcast at some point. For the time being, enjoy these other shots I gathered ^_^
