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: Punished Props!

In keeping with prop makers this week I wanted to also feature an awesome prop maker named Bill Doran or as he goes on the internet as Chinbeard or by his business name of Punished Props! In addition to creating incredible cosplays such as Dragur Warriors from Skyrim, he also handles props and commissions whether they be guns from Mass Effect, or swords and shields! I'm always impressed by how accurate his props always come out and have wondered if one day I should get something commissioned from him should it ever be needed!

M-5 Phalanx from Mass Effect
From what I've learned, most of the guns are casted and set in resin. As mentioned above Bill and his wife created matching Dragur cosplays this year and no doubt they were a hit! Watching his videos and tutorials are very interesting and I'm definitely liking the setup he has for his workshop! Other props created were for other cosplayers such as a rifle and blade for Jessica Nigri's Naussica Cosplay, Xenoblade, and rifles from Starcraft, Halo, etc. I've included other pictures of finished props for you to gaze upon! Seriously if you ever need to have something commissioned, I would definitely recommend Punished Props! ^_^

Risty's Mace and Shield from Queen's Blade.
