Hey guys! Today I will be doing a review for the site RoleCosplay! As a heads up, I would like you guys to know that this review was sponsored. However, my opinions in the article will be strictly truthful about everything that I experienced with the partnership! :D This review is also a more in-depth version of my video which is now ready to view on YouTube! Starting from the Beginning with the Sponsorship! Rolecosplay, asked me to choose any costume on their website that I would receive absolutely free, as long as I did a review from them and promoted it on social media! It didn’t take me long to find the D.va Cosplay , in which I fell completely in love with instantly. If you don’t know anything about the character D.va, just know that she is a character/Gremlin (Overwatch Fandom reference) from the hit Blizzard game called “Overwatch”. Players can play as D.va who loves nothing more than eating Doritos and drowning herself in Mountain Dew, but also kicking some butt when the time comes. After emailing Rolecosplay about which cosplay I would like to review, they asked that I at least pay the shipping fee for the package (Which was honestly no problem for me. It was only $16). It took about 2-3 days for them to get back to me about receiving the payment (all thanks to PayPal :P) and processing my “order”. Within the same week, I received an email back from Rolecosplay with my tracking number, as well as the website that they recommended me using. After the package was sent off, things did get a bit tricky. I knew RoleCosplay was sending my package by express, and that it should arrive at my house in a week or a week or a half. But, in all I did not receive my package until a month and a half later. Why you may ask? Well, it took a while to get to the bottom of it. It turns out that the package had indeed arrived in the US from China in a week, but US Customs was holding the package for a reason we still don’t know. I did some digging and came across many articles that stated that sending express mail from China typically takes a month, or more to pass through customs than an average package that was not sent through express mail (So much for express). However, I’m honestly happier knowing that it was customs that was withholding the package, because for weeks all I could picture was either my package being lost or someone taking the package. This was especially the case because, it was getting close to Halloween at the time and who wouldn’t want to receive a free costume in the mail. *Shrugs*. The package delivery itself was not RoleCosplay’s fault whatsoever when it came to arriving later than expected. It was simply Customs fault, and I wanted to make sure that many know this because the tracking service never tells you that it’s stuck in customs until you actually look for information about it. When the package arrived I was happy beyond my belief! I wanted to do a full out review and video of it! Below I have rated specific part of the cosplay on a 10 point scale (10 being the highest score possible, and 1 being the lowest) , as well as a complete score altogether! If you would like a brief overview of the cosplay rating please check out my video on YouTube! If not I hope you enjoy this written review. RoleCosplay Review Packaging: 8/10 The Packaging was quite nice, even though it came in the generic plastic wrap that included their logo and design. I forgot that L-email was actually apart of Rolecosplay! (Fun Fact: Did you know you can order cosplays from RoleCosplay from Amazon? Use those GiftCard you get from your aunts and uncles this Christmas well this holiday season kids*winks*). I thought it was pretty sweet that when I opened the packaging my Cosplay was actually nicely folded, and slid out of the wrapping very smoothly. Color: 10/10 I know, I know. You may be wondering, how the heck is she rating the color? Well, I’m an Art Major folks and I’m really picky when it comes to colors of my Cosplay’s. I wanted to make sure the suit actually stayed true to the color of D.va in the game. I honestly do not know how they print on their cosplays or where but the printer they used did amazing! I had no problems whatsoever with the colors, with and without natural lighting. Design: 9.5/10 The Designs on the Cosplay was completely accurate. However, the only reason I took off “.5” was because I noticed that some of the lines on the inside of my thighs did not match up. This is because of the way the suit was sewn. I compared and contrasted how it was when I wasn’t wearing it, and how it was when I was wearing it, and the end result was the same. But, honestly it didn’t bother me because the main points where the lines were off, was on the inside of where my thighs. You could barely tell unless you were literally eyeballing my legs for days. (Note: The gloves of the suit and foot pieces were all attached!) Cosplay Texture: 10/10 The texture of the Cosplay was Superb! I loved that they chose a fabric that was completely breathable, and it felt like a second layer of skin to me. I honestly had a hard time taking it off because it was so comfortable to me! (Also I don’t know if this was on purpose, but because of the choice of fabric. I was still able to use my IPhone even while wearing the body suit that covered my hands!) Sizing: 9.5/10 I really liked the sizing. I almost thought it was going to be too big or small, but when I tried the suit on everything slipped on perfectly! The only problem I had was that the arms were a little more open than I would have wanted them to be, but it was hardly noticeable! (Never know! My arms may grow huge one day!) Customer Service: 10/10 Rolecosplay was always on it when I contacted them about any problem I had. They always offered to help me when it came to the cosplay, and even discussed with me solutions to my shipping crisis. I was really impressed with how they handled the situation and how they made it a point to get back to me as soon as possible! Overall: 9.5/10 Overall, I think this Cosplay was a great one to review! There was few minor things, but not enough that it would stop me from wearing the Cosplay! I would totally recommend this Cosplay to others, as well as look to this company to purchase even more Cosplays in the future! I really hope this review helped you if you were thinking about purchasing a Cosplay from RoleCosplay in the future! I have the actual review video up about the Cosplay as well as a BTS Video of the whole shoot on my YouTube channel! You can find the links to both of the videos at the bottoms of this article and even via my social media links! Remember guys, Stay Happy, Stay Healthy, and Stay Creative.
