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: Kamui Cosplay's Protoss Wizard!

For today, I wanted to feature a well known cosplayer for her amazing work with armor crafting. Her name is Svetlana but you probably have heard by the name of Kamui Cosplay online. If I had to sum her up in a few words with regards to her cosplay they would be Blizzard and Armor. Why those 2? Practically all of her outfits are armor sets from Blizzard games such as World of Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo. Alongside her husband, Kamui puts in tremendous amounts of detail and when she wears them it's as if you're looking at a real life copy of the armor! Yes I know that's the point of cosplay but seriously go look her up on Facebook!

Which brings us to the outfit I just HAD to feature. At first glance this outfit doesn't appear to be from any game that Blizzard has created thus far. Well that's kind of the point, this cosplay is an original outfit that Kamui came up with titled "Protoss Wizard". Now my knowledge of Blizzard games only goes so far up to at least Warcraft lore but I did out of an interest look at info regarding the other 2 franchises. My best guess (and it's probably the obvious so don't yell at me) is that this outfit is a combination between the Protoss race in Starcraft and the Wizard class in Diablo.

All of it was crafted with Worbla which Kamui actually introduced to the rest of the cosplay community and is used by many others featured here (like Monika Lee's Demon Hunter and Yaya Han's Fiora). Added in are impressive stones embedded with LED lights which makes the prop weapon she created light up and I think the armor does too! The painting done is incredible and I love the cape added! There aren't many photos of the whole cosplay so I also added progress photos that Kamui posted on her page and trust me guys, she put in a HELL of a lot of work. In fact this won 1st place in the cosplay contest held at Blizzcon this year and she definitely earned it. Enjoy guys :D
