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 Roundup: Finishing up Steampunk Nightwing and Greninja!

For the course of the past few weeks, I've been hard at work on my Greninja gijinka and Steampunk Nightwing. Much has been accomplished with the latter being finished and Greninja needing just his headpiece which requires Worbla to make so I'm saving up for buying 2 sheets. 1 outfit for NY Comic Con down, 2 more to go!

For the last part of Nightwing, I went and purchased a World War 2 Era leather hat alongside red leather paint. The process was fairly simple thanks to the tutorial I found online. The emblem isn't exactly dead set in the center but it's pretty damn close and I'm super happy with how it came out alongside the entire outfit being worn which you can see down below!

Meep Meep leather hat :D

Outfit complete!
For Greninja I managed to find pads for my elbows and knees at a sports store that came close to what I actually wanted. After having a fun conversation with one of the employees who was helping me out I definitely felt accomplished! I also went and bought blue fabric to cut out more ninja star shapes which will be probably taped onto the pants I'm wearing. Honestly I don't know what to do for his shoes so I may just either wear regular shoes or if anything, something that's blue.

White Pads!
