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: Kitsune Kid's Gym Leader Misty!


Right after I finished writing Byndo Gehk's Swimsuit Squirtle feature, I definitely needed to schedule one on her waifu! So I figured why not keep the ColossalCon theme going with Kitsune Kid's Gym Leader Misty! This particular Misty outfit appears to take inspiration from the games. The FireRed/LeafGreen versions in particular come to mind. I definitely remember Misty wearing that outfit as part of her Leader Battle Sprite. With her being an expert on Water Pokemon, it makes sense that well...the cosplay consist of water friendly clothes. Kitsune looks freaking amazing in the whole outfit, not to mention that the wig is spot on! Along with shorts and a gym-like top, Kitsune also has a Pokeball as her prop, in hand ready to throw down for battle. Course let's hope Psyduck isn't in there XD.

There's also lots of small things that make this cosplay work. I mentioned already how the wig is the perfect style along with its color shade. Kitsune is also sporting wristbands on both arms plus a red towel on the back of her neck as seen in the picture on the left! The shoes also seem to be perfect for running around in the water or in this case, the theme park which this convention took place at. On her shorts is also the Cascade Badge which is rewarded to Trainers who beat Misty in battle. That's got to be one of my favorite touches on the cosplay.

I know from seeing Kitsune's posts that she's been working out in order to get the kind of figure for Misty and it definitely paid off! The poses she makes in all these photos are perfect for the character. Whether she's got one leg up with a cheery smile, or standing confident with her head turned to the side, it definitely looks like she's ready for a fun battle. There were tons of Pokemon gijinkas at the con from what I saw so Kitsune probably felt right at home as Misty. Not to mention a bunch of group shots were taken!! I hope you guys don't mind the extra amount of pictures I have for today. Kitsune Kid looks so cute as Misty!!

If you haven't checked out Kitsune Kid on FB, definitely consider it! She has so much fun cosplaying and I love seeing it so so much. Here's hoping I'll get to see her at NYCC if she's able to go.
