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: Nikki Kristan's Rikku Berserker!


One of the awesome friends I met recently through cosplay is the super awesome Nikki Kristan! You might remember her as one of the many Poison Ivy's I showed as part of my first showcase a few weeks ago! This time I wanted to give her a full feature with another one of my favorite cosplays of hers. The outfit being Rikku's Berserker from Final Fantasy 10-2! The outfit itself consists of mainly lots of fur and animal print fabric due to the class Berserker in the game being more of an animalistic nature/style. I feel that it's one of the many classes that fits Rikku's personality. That and for me I remember having her as an Alchemist! Also from getting to know her, Nikki is definitely a lover of cats, so with the animal prints being leopard, it's perfect for her!
The poses Nikki makes are definitely cute and fierce! The horns on her head and shoulder pieces were done with foam if I remember correctly from Nikki talking about it in one of her page posts. If I'm wrong then I apologize. The colors are very vibrant in the fabric and I wonder if the feet are either easy or difficult to walk in. There's also a pose she makes down below that I personally find very attractive ^^. It also helps that Nikki is a big fan of Final Fantasy so she definitely enjoyed making this outfit. I'm really looking forward to meeting her at Hartford Comic Con next month! Maybe an interview done in the future? :) I hope you guys enjoy the pictures!
