Cosplay Feature: Wumbo's Monoco!

Photo by David Ngo Happy February! I hope you had an amazing start to your new year and that you're excited to learn about the amazing cosplays that are out there for 2026. The cosplay community usually dubs the one-two punch of MAGFest & Katsucon as the kickoff for the convention season. I spent the last month or so gathering cosplays that as of today's date, all stem from the former! I also am insanely excited that many of these I'm about to share are first time write-ups for the creators themselves. Today, you get a look at Wumbo's masterful recreation of known feet lover Monoco from 2025's Game of the Year, Expedition 33! In looking at some of the photo posts on her instagram, she made all of this by herself so I don't have to worry about adding in extra creators who may have assisted with design files etc. Quick backstory, Monoco is the last party member you add to your team who's a longtime friend of Verso and gained a grasp on the English language...

Cosplay Feature: Yaya Han's Chun-Li

It make me very happy to dedicate this weeks Cosplay Feature to the incredible and supportive Yaya Han! Yaya has been cosplaying for nearly a decade and is one of the very few who is able to have cosplay as an actual business. Specifically she handles little accessories such as Pegasus wings and pony/cat ears. She is also a huge advocate for bringing positivity in the cosplay community. This is done by not only making many convention trips to see her fans but she also hosts cosplay panels which discuss the basics of getting into cosplay and the Sociology behind it! Having the pleasure of meeting her at this past Boston Comic Con was a highlight for me as she was incredibly nice and loved my own cosplay despite the malfunctions it had.

Now for her outfit, it was tough choosing which one due to her wide variety of outfits and the fact that I have multiple favorites of hers. After looking through her many albums, I decided that her Chun-Li was amazing that I had to write about it. This Chun-Li if you've noticed isn't based off the regular video game design. The style here is Art Noveau and the outfit was designed by Razvan-Sedekiah. Everything about this outfit I love, from the ruffled like fabric on her shoulders to the intricate embroidery on her corset piece. The wrist cuffs are awesome and the boots are well-crafted. Although I expect nothing less considering the amount of talent Yaya has gathered from years of practice. Below are some more photos of this amazing cosplay and I definitely am looking forward to seeing her again this year!
