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: Spencer Doe as Knuckles the Echidna!

For today's cosplay feature I want to showcase another awesome male cosplayer named Spencer Doe. Spencer alongside his partner in crime Nicole Marie Jean (who has been featured before) is mostly known by his nickname as The God Damned Batman. This is because most of his cosplays are versions of Batman's iconic suit from the Nolan movies to the Arkham games. However rather focusing on Batman I actually want to show off his humanoid version of Knuckles the Echidna from Sonic. Along with Nicole who dressed as Sonic, this cosplay was made for PAX East 2013 and was actually the first time I met them!

Spencer as Knuckles and Nicole as Sonic

The cosplay itself is a one piece red suit in which Spencer looks very muscular. The shoes were messed around to match how they look on Knuckles. I definitely love the way the wig was styled and the added sunglasses was a nice touch. I was anticipating to match with them at that convention with my Shadow gijinka which I had debuted at PAX East but they unfortunately wore them a different day and I had only gotten a pass for one day. The gloves are huge with spikes attached to them and it definitely works!

The poses they both make definitely capture the friendship/rivalry that both Sonic and Knuckles had. I also can tell from their in progress posts on the outfits that they both had a lot of fun making the cosplays and even more fun wearing them! I'm hoping to maybe match with my Shadow one day, just a matter of planning :D. I also plan on interviewing them one day (I PROMISE) as well so fingers crossed! Enjoy the photos I have to share.
