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: Katyuska Moonfox IS Tifa. I'M SERIOUS!

To temporarily fill in the gap of no cosplayer interviews to post, I thought for a short time I would include for you guys an extra cosplay feature for the week. Again note that this will be for a short time (as in this week and next). Afterwards if no new interviews are received (I have 4 I'm expecting) I will shoot for making Fridays a Single Game Shoutout post as well. That being said, enjoy guys!


Recently there appears to be a rise in cosplayers hailing from Australia. All of these cosplayers are ridiculously beautiful and really capture the look of the character. The only one I'm currently following is Katyuska Moonfox. Initially the cosplay that attracted me to her was Tifa Lockheart from Final Fantasy 7. I'll be honest, Tifa was my first video game girl crush so to speak just cause she was just soo beautiful! Katyuksa however is literally the real life version! Just take a look at this picture below.


The outfit itself is fairly simple with a black mini skirt with suspenders attached to it and running up the body. The white tank top shows off her bust very well and the wig is gorgeous! For her arms and hands Katyuska is wearing black sleeves it looks like with elbow armor pads and red leather-ish gloves. All these clothing pieces definitely make Tifa originally almost like a sex symbol in the game industry (Lara Croft has that title taken, least back in the day) if not but a bombshell character who is also very independent and strong willed. She beats people up with her fists!

The setting for these shots is perfect for the character and like I mentioned before Katyuska definitely has the body and form for Tifa. The poses she does capture the nature and spirit of Tifa and I absolutely love them. There is an awesome action shot within the other pictures. I hope you guys enjoy them!
