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: Vanity Fox's Nina!

Today I want to finally feature one of my very good friends and fellow New England area cosplayer Casey Anne. The cosplay shown here is actually her latest one which she wore at NYCC on Friday. The character being Nina from Breath of Fire 2! It's actually pretty funny how before the convention I had asked if she had anything planned, she wanted to keep it a secret and honestly told me that it's an obscure character that very few people will know.

Talk about obscure because I have never heard of this character, nor the game she's from! Apparently Breath of Fire 2 is one of Casey's favorite RPG's and the design of this character is freaking beautiful. Shiny fabric clothing adorned with various jewels and bracelets, gorgeous blonde hair all topped off by 2 really big wings growing our of her back!

So how did Casey go about creating this cosplay? Well from the looks of the photos I have to share she nailed it perfectly. The wings are by far my favorite part all made from feathers which she had purchased online. The wig chosen also fits the character and the fabric chosen definitely match the style which Nina is shown wearing. Casey even managed to have jewelry/stones on the fabric alongside intricate ornate patterns in certain areas of the cosplay such as the neck, chest, bracers and boots! Seriously I'm in love with the colors of the full outfit and it's arguably one of my favorites Casey has done so far. She was working very hard on it from what I could see online in terms of progress and all the hard work paid off BIG TIME :D.

Overall Casey looks incredibly beautiful in the outfit and I was extremely impressed by it (as I am with all of her outfits :)). Below I have some pictures of the outfit as well as a previous photo from NYCC this year!

Also be sure to keep an eye out around PAX East next year for a video interview with Casey Anne instead of a written one which was done originally but scrapped due to outdated information!
